In the Driving menu, activate/deactivate " Lane
departure warning ".

workshop.The indicator lamp in this button
flashes.
The button flashes and a fault appears.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment:
The detection may be impeded:
-
i
f the markings on the ground are
worn and do not contrast well with
the road sur face,
-
i
f the windscreen is dirty,
- i n certain severe weather
conditions: fog, heavy rain, snow,
shade, bright sunlight and direct
exposure to the sun (low sun,
leaving a tunnel,
...).

Using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen, the system assesses the driver's
level of vigilance by identifying variations in
trajectory compared to the lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h)).
Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time
warning system" may be combined with the
"Fatigue detection system".The system cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Do not drive if you are tired or taking
medicines that can cause drowsiness. Once the system considers that the behaviour
of the vehicle suggests a certain level of fatigue
or inattention by the driver, it triggers the first
level of alert.
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message "
Take a break!",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal. In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system
may give alerts independent of the
driver's level of vigilance.
The following situations may inter fere
with operation of the system or prevent
it working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting
of the roadway, falling snow, heavy
rain, dense fog,
...),
-
d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on
a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light,
...),
-
w
indscreen area located in front
of the camera: dirty, misted, frost-
covered, snow-covered, damaged
or covered by a sticker,
-
l
ane markings absent, worn,
masked (snow, mud) or multiple
(roadworks,
...
),
-
c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-
r
oads that are narrow, winding, ...
The driver is then alerted by the message
"
Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.

Blind spot monitoring system
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
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger. 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 and the following
conditions are fulfilled:
-
a
ll the vehicles must be moving in the
same direction and on adjacent lanes,
-
t
he speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-
w
hen you overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
- w hen a vehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 15 mph (25 km/h),
-
t
he traffic must be flowing normally,
-
i
n the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken returns to the blind spot,
-
y
ou are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-
y
our vehicle is not pulling a trailer,
a
c
aravan...
This 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.
The blind spot sensor system does not
replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.

180° rear vision
This system allows the near surroundings of the
vehicle to be viewed in the display screen using
cameras located at the rear of the vehicle. The
parking sensors in the rear and/or front bumper
complete the information on the view from
above the vehicle (right-hand part).
In addition to the view from above the vehicle
(right-hand part) several types of view can be
displayed (left-hand part):
-
s
tandard rear view,
-
1
80° rear view,
-
r
econstructed zoom rear view.
Principle of image
reconstruction
The system displays the contextual view (left-
hand part) as well as the view from above the
vehicle in its close surroundings.
By default, automatic mode is activated.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information received from the parking sensors.
The 180° view is only available through the
menus. The display disappears above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
The system is automatically deactivated
about 7 seconds after coming out of
reverse or on opening a door or the
boot. This system is a visual aid and cannot
in any circumstances replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The images provided by the cameras
may appear distorted by the
surroundings (exterior conditions,
driving mode,
...).
The presence of areas in shadow, bright
sunlight, or poor lighting conditions
may make the image dark and reduce
contrast.
Using the rear camera, the system records the
vehicle's surroundings during a manoeuvre.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the blue brackets) in real time and as
the manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows you to
see all of the obstacles close to the vehicle.
This reconstructed view is automatically erased
if the vehicle remains stationary for too long.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval for
this component.Brake wear depends on the style

For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
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.

If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

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.

Recommendations on storage
Never store bottles of AdBlue® in your
vehicle.
AdBlue
® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles be stored in a cool area and
protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure
that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level
sur face.

In wintry conditions, ensure that
the temperature of the vehicle is
