Blind Spot Detection
This system warns the driver of the presence
of another vehicle in the blind spots of their
vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field
of vision), as soon as this presents a potential
danger.
A fixed 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
relative distances and 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
The function is activated and
deactivated in the Driving menu of
the touch screen.
When the function is activated,
this indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
The state of the system stays in memory when
switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a
towing device
approved by CITROËN.
Operation
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon
as a
vehicle – car, lorry, cycle – 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 the vehicle must be between
7
and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),

l east every two hours.
Depending on version, the function relies either
on the "Driver Attention Warning" system alone
or combined with the "Driver Attention Alert"
system.
These systems cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver who must remain in control
of their decisions. In no case can these
systems keep the driver awake or prevent
them from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver's responsibility to stop if they
feel tired.
Activation/Deactivation

Driver Attention Warning
The system triggers an alert once it
detects that the driver has not taken
a
break after two hours of driving at
a
speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).This alert is issued via the display of
a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-
e
ngine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15

minutes,
-
t
he ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and their

indicates which side the obstacle is on.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Visual assistance
It supplements the audible signal by displaying
bars on the screen that move progressively
nearer to the vehicle (white: more distant
obstacles; orange: close obstacles; red: very
close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle remains below 6
mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in
front or behind.
