Operating fault
As a safety measure, do not use the system if
the  brake   lamps   are   faulty.
Do not use the system if the front bumper is
damaged. In the event of a fault with the cruise
control, you are alerted by the
illumination
  of   this   warning   lamp  
a

nd   the   display   of   a   message   in   the  
in

strument panel, accompanied by an
audible
 s

The cruise control operates by day and at
night,
 
in
 
fog
 
or
 
moderate
 
rainfall.
However,
 
it
 
is
 
strongly
 
recommended
 
that

ou
 
always
 
keep
 
a
 
safe
 
distance
 
from
 
v

ehicles
 
ahead,
 
according
 
to
 
the
 
driving
 
c

onditions, the weather and the road
sur face.
Use the cruise control only where the
driving
 
conditions
 
allow
 
running
 
at
 
a
 
c

onstant speed and at an adequate safe
distance.
Do not use the cruise control in urban
areas,
 
heavy
 
traffic,
 
on
 
winding
 
or
 
steep
 
r

oads
 
or
 
on
 
slippery
 
or
 
flooded
 
sur faces.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be
 
possible

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,
then " Driving aid " and select the symbol for
the " Collision risk alert "
  function:
F
 
m
odify   the   alert   threshold   using   the   arrows  
o

r   the   cursor.
Driving

177
C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2016
The change from one level of alert to   the   next   takes   place   if   the   driving  
c

onditions   do   not   change   (speed  
u

nchanged,   no   change   of   lane...)
Severe weather conditions (very heavy
rain, accumulation of snow in front
of the radar) may inter fere with the
operation
  of   the   system,   resulting   in  
t

he   display   of   the   message   "SYSTEM  
I

NACTIVE:   Reduced   visibility".   The  
s

ystem remains unavailable until the
message
 d

isappears.
If
  the   speed   of   your   vehicle   is   too   high  
w

hen   approaching   another   vehicle,   the  
f

irst   level   of   alert   may   not   be   displayed:  
t

he level 2 alert may be displayed
di r e c t l y.
On the other hand, the level 1 alert
is
  never   displayed   with   the   triggering  
t

hreshold   3   (close).
Alerts
According to the collision risk detected by the system and the alert threshold chosen, three
levels
  of   alert   can   be   triggered.
Level 1 :
  visual   alert   only   (orange)  
i

ndicating   that   the   vehicle   in   front   is  
v

ery   close.   The   message   "Vehicle
close "
  is   displayed.
Level 2 :
  visual   (red)   and   audible  
a

lerts   indicating   that   a   collision   is  
i

mminent.   The   message   "Brake! " is
displayed.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time
  between   your   vehicle   and   the   one   in   front.
This level of alert is based on a time before
collision.
  It   takes   account   of   the   vehicle  
d

ynamics, the speed of your vehicle and
the
  speed   of   the   vehicle   in   front,   the   driving  
c

onditions, the situation with your vehicle
(cornering,
  pedals   pressed,   etc.)   to   trigger   the  
a

lert   at   the   right   moment.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, you are alerted
by  the   display   of   the   Service   warning  
l

amp,   accompanied   by   a   message.
Consult a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
 w

orkshop.
The operation of the radar, located in
the front bumper, may be disturbed by
accumulations
  of   grime   (dust,   mud...)  
o

r in certain weather conditions (snow,
ice...).
The
  message   "SYSTEM   INACTIVE:  
V

isibility   reduced"   is   displayed   to   signal  
t

hat the system has been put into
st a n dby.
Clean
  the   front   bumper   regularly.

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.
