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
k
eep a constant check on the state of
t
he traffic, to assess the relative speed
a
nd 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
b
e 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 p
ermanently by a CITROËN dealer
or
a qualified workshop.
In the Driving

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,
r
eplace
t
he
n
eed
fo
r
v
igilance
o
n
t
he
par
t
o
f the driver.
The
driver remains responsible for the
v
ehicle 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
b
rakes.
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 a
nd 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
han
ds.
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
t
rajectory 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
d
irection indicators are operated.
Driving
177
However, with the "Blind spot monitoring system" activated, if the driver starts changing
l
ane and another vehicle is detected in the
v
ehicle'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
n
ot 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
t
he 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

correction
is
triggered

conditions (rain, hail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face o

t
he blind spot angle is interpreted as a
v

Take
care not to cover the warning zone

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