is reduced, while the other sensor
is able to work normally, the system
still operates, but at a lower level of
per formance. This is not indicated by a
message or a warning lamp.
To ensure correct operation of the radar
radar, do not paint over the paintwork

Fatigue detection system
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
m

inutes,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and
their door is open.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle
drops below 40 mph (65 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
The driving time is counted again once
the speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).
The system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Do not take the wheel if you are tired. 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).
It is recommended that you take a break
as soon as you feel tired or at least every
two

hours.
Depending on version, the vehicle either has
the "Driving time warning system" only, or this
combined with the "Fatigue detection system".

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,
...),
-

of the camera: dirty, misted, frost-
covered, snow-covered, damaged

-

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),

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.

Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud,
ice or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone
in the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with adhesive labels or other objects;
they may hamper the correct operation
of the system.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment:
With the touch screen
In the Driving
menu, activate/deactivate " Blind
spot monitoring ".
In the event of a fault, these warning lamps
flash.
The indicator lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal.
The state of the system remains in
memory on switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
CITROËN.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not
place the tip of the lance within 30 cm
of the sensors as otherwise there is a
risk of damaging them.

Front parking sensors
As an 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 is still 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).
With the audio system
Deactivation / Activation
Deactivation or activation of the system is done
via the vehicle configuration menu.
The sound from the speakers (front or
rear) indicates whether the obstacle is
in front or behind. The system will be automatically
deactivated where a towbar or towbar-
mounted bicycle carrier is fitted
(vehicle fitted with a towbar installed as
recommended by a CITROËN dealer).
In the " Personalisation-configuration " menu,
activate/deactivate " Parking assistance ".
With the touch screen
In the Driving menu, activate/deactivate
" Parking sensors ". When engaging reverse and depending on the
vehicle's equipment, in the event of a fault:
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This warning lamp comes on and a
message appears, accompanied by
an audible signal.
The warning lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not
place the tip of the lance within 30 cm
of the sensors, as there is a risk of
damaging them.
