2017 CITROEN C4 CACTUS warning light

122
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
Lane Departure Warning
System
System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane
markings on the ground.
The camera analyses the image then, if the
driver's attention drops and the speed is higher
than 37 mph (60 km/h), triggers a warning if
there is an unexpected change of direction.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.This system is a driving aid that cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Activation/Deactivation
The system is activated and deactivated in the
vehicle configuration menu.
F

I
n the Driving/Vehicle menu
of the touch screen, select the
" Vehicle settings " tab then
" Safety " and activate/deactivate
" Lane depar ture warning
system".
Detection
You are alerted by the flashing of
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible
signal.
No warning is transmitted while a direction
indicator is active.
Operating fault
The flashing and then constant illumination of
the warning lamp, accompanied by illumination
of the Ser vice warning lamp indicates a fault in
the system. Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The detection may be impeded:
-
i
f the markings on the ground are worn,
-
i
f there is little contrast between the
markings on the road and the road
sur face,
-
i
f the windscreen is dirty,
-
i
n certain weather conditions: fog,
heavy rain, snow, shade, bright
sunlight or direct exposure to the sun
(low sun, leaving a tunnel, etc.).
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
Driving

123
Blind spot monitoring
This system warns the driver of the presence of
another vehicle in the blind spot angle of their
vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field
of vision), as soon as this presents a potential
danger.
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 aid system is designed to
improve safety when driving and is in no
circumstances a substitute for the use
of the interior rear view mirror and door
mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility to
constantly check the traffic, to assess the
distances and relative speeds of other
vehicles and to predict their movements
before deciding whether to change lane.
This system is a driving aid that cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Activation/Deactivation
Activation and deactivation of the system is
done in the vehicle configuration menu.
F

I
n the Driving/Vehicle menu
of the touch screen, select the
" Vehicle settings " tab then
" Safety " and activate/deactivate
" Blind spot sensors ".
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The status of the system remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off. The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towing device
approved by CITROËN.
Operation
The alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle – car, lorry,
bicycle – is detected.
The following conditions must be met for this:
-

a
ll vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes,
-

t
he speed of your vehicle must be between
7 and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-

y
ou overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
-

a v
ehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 16 mph (25 km/h),
-

t
raffic is flowing normally,
-

w
hen overtaking a vehicle over a certain
period of time and the vehicle being
overtaken remains in the blind spot,
-

y
ou are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-

y
our vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a
caravan, etc.

Driving

148
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed
of at least 37 mph (60 km/h) until the
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking the
levels and particularly on the level of
Diesel additive, refer to the corresponding
section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking brake
disc/drum wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units
as important as those in the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers very
specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
