Collision risk alert
System providing a warning to the driver that their vehicle is at risk of collision with the vehicle in front.
T he   collision   risk   alert   system   can   be   activated  
o

r   deactivated   in   the   touch   screen   tablet.
In the Driving menu, select the " Settings" tab,
then " Driving aid " and "Collision risk alert ".
This
  system   has   been   designed   to  
i

mprove   driving   safety.
It is the responsibility of the driver to
keep
  a   constant   check   on   the   state   of  
t

he traffic, to assess the relative speed
and
  distance   of   other   vehicles.
The
  collision   risk   alert   system   can   never  
r

eplace   the   need   for   vigilance   on   the  
p

art   of   the   driver.
This system operates from 20 mph
(30 km/h),
  only   when   other   vehicles   are  
r

unning   in   the   same   direction   as   your  
v

ehicle;   the   system   does   not   detect  
s

tationary   objects.   A   radar   is   fitted   at  
t

he   front   of   the   vehicle. The alert thresholds determine how you want to
be
  alerted   to   the   presence   of   a   vehicle   running  
i

n   front   of   you.
You
  can   choose   from   three   thresholds:
-
 
1
:   "Distant ".
-
 
2
:   "Normal ".
-
 
3
:   "Close ".
Setting the thresholds for
the alert
This function can be deactivated
permanently by a CITROËN dealer
or
  a   qualified   workshop.
In the Driving menu, select the " Settings" tab,

Assisted lane departure warning system
Using a camera placed at the top of the windscreen to identify lane markings on the ground, this systems corrects the trajectory of the vehicle while alerting   the   driver   if   it   detects   a   risk   of   involuntary   crossing   of   a   line.
This
  system   is   particularly   useful   on   motor ways   and   main   roads.
The
  assisted   lane   departure   warning
 s

ystem cannot, in any circumstances,

f   the   driver.
The driver remains responsible for the
vehicle
  in   all   circumstances.   The   system
 h

elps   the   driver   only   when   there   is   a   risk
 o

f   the   vehicle   involuntarily   wandering
 f

rom   the   lane   it   is   being   driven   on.
 I

t   does   not   manage   the   safe   driving
 d

istance, the speed of the vehicle or the
brakes.
The
  driver   must   hold   the   steering   wheel
 i

n   a   way   that   allows   control   to   be   taken
 b

ack   in   circumstances   where   the   system
 i

s not able to intervene (where there are
no
  lane   markings,   for   example).
It
  is   necessary   to   observe   the   driving
 r

egulations   and   take   a   break   every
 t

wo hours.
Operation
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and
  112   mph   (65   and   180   km/h).
The
  carriageway   must   have   at   least   one   lane  
m

arking   (solid   or   broken)   on   the   ground.
The driver must hold the wheel with both
hands.
The
  change   of   trajectory   is   not   accompanied   by  
o

peration   of   the   direction   indicators.
The
  ESC   system   must   be   activated. Once
  the   system   identifies   a   risk   of   the   vehicle  i
nvoluntarily   crossing   one   of   the   lane   markings  
d

etected,   it   makes   the   correction   to   the  
t

rajectory   necessary   to   return   the   vehicle   to   its  
in

itial
 pa
th.
The
  driver   will   then   notice   a   turning   movement  
o

f   the   steering   wheel.
This
  warning   lamp   flashes   during  
t

rajectory
 c
orrection.
If the driver wishes to maintain the
trajectory
  of   the   vehicle,   they   can  
p

revent   the   correction   by   keeping   a   firm  
g

rip   on   the   wheel   (during   an   avoiding  
m

anoeuvre,   for   example).
The correction is interrupted if the
direction
  indicators   are   operated.
Driving

179
C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2016
However, with the "Blind spot monitoring system"   activated,   if   the   driver   starts   changing  
l

ane and another vehicle is detected in the
vehicle's
  blind   spot,   the   system   will   correct  
t

he   trajectory   of   the   vehicle   even   though   the  
d

irection   indicators   are   on.
For more information on the Blind spot
monitoring system ,
  refer   to   the   corresponding  
s

ection. If the system detects that the driver is
not
  holding   the   wheel   firmly   enough  
d

uring   an   automatic   correction   of  
t

rajectory,   it   interrupts   the   correction.  
A

n   alert   is   triggered   to   encourage  
t

he   driver   to   take   back   control   of   the  
v

ehicle.
Activation / Deactivation
Activation / deactivation of the system is done i
n the Driving  menu   of   the   touch   screen   tablet.
Select the " Driving assistance " tab then
" Help staying in lane ".
The state of the system stays in memory when
the
  ignition   is   switched   off.
While the direction indicators are on and for
a
 
few
 
seconds
 
after
 
switching
 
them
 
off,
 
the
 
s

ystem
 
considers
 
that
 
any

is

Blind spot monitoring system
Activation / Deactivation
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the   side   in   question:
-
 
i
mmediately,   when   being   overtaken,
-

a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking
  a   vehicle   slowly.
This
 
driving
 
assistance
 
system
 
warns
 
the
 
driver
 o
f the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot
 
angle
 
of
 
their
 
vehicle
 
(areas
 
masked
 
from
 
t

driver's
 
field
 
of
 
vision),
 
as
 
soon
 
as
 
this
 
p

resents
 
a
 
potential
 
danger. Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor
  the   blind   spots.
This
 
system
 
is
 
designed
 
to
 
improve
 
safety
 
when   driving   and   is   in   no   circumstances   a  
s

view
 
mirror   and   door   mirrors.   It   is   the   driver's  
r

esponsibility
 
to
 
constantly
 
check
 
the
 
traffic,
 
to   assess   the   distances   and   relative   speeds   of  
o

ther
 
vehicles
 
and
 
to
 
predict
 
their
 
movements   before   deciding   whether   to   change   lane.
The
 
blind
 
spot
 
monitoring
 
system
 
can
 
never
 
replace   the   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the

  a   message.
Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified w orkshop. The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions
  (rain,   hail...).
In   particular,   driving   on   a   wet   sur face  o

an   cause   false   alerts   (for   example,   the  
p

resence   of   a   fog   of   water   droplets   in  
t

he   blind   spot   angle   is   interpreted   as   a  
v

ehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud, ice
or
  snow.
Take
  care   not   to   cover   the   warning   zone  
i

n the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with
  adhesive   labels   or   other   objects;  
t

hey may hamper the correct operation
of
  the   system.

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is
  in   front   or   behind. The system will be deactivated
automatically
  if   a   trailer   is   being  
t

owed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
installed
  in   line   with   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud,
  ice   or   snow.   When   reverse   gear   is  
e

ngaged,   an   audible   signal   (long   beep)  
i

ndicates   that   the   sensors   may   be   dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry,

o

bstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the
 
vehicle   remains   below   6   mph   (10   km/h).
