System which detects the involuntary
crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings
on the ground (continuous or discontinuous
line).
A camera, fitted at the top centre of the
windscreen monitors the road and detects
lane markings and the position of the vehicle
within them.
With the vehicle running at a speed higher
than 35 mph (60 km/h), it triggers a warning
if the vehicle drifts off line.
This system operates to its full potential in
particular when used on motorways and
main roads.
Operation
The system starts automatically when
moving off. Operating conditions
Once running, the system is only active
when the operating conditions are met:
-

The vehicle is moving forward.
-

No operating fault
is detected in the
vehicle.
-
The vehicle is moving at a speed of at

least 37 mph (60 km/h).
-
The longitudinal lane markings on the

ground are clearly visible.
-
The conditions of visibility are normal.
-

The vehicle is in a straight line trajectory

(or if cornering, the corners are of large
radius).
-

The field of vision is suf
ficiently clear
(the safe distance from the vehicle in
front is observed).
-

If a lane marking is crossed (when

changing lane for example), the
corresponding direction indicator (left or
right) for the manoeuvre, is not used.
-

The vehicle's trajectory matches the

lane markings on the road.
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance on the part of
the
driver.
If the windscreen is damaged, it is strongly
recommended that you go to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop for any
replacement or calibration of the camera.
A check of the operating
conditions takes place: these two
indicator lamps come on in the
instrument panel.
When these conditions are met, these
two indicator lamps go off. The system is
activated.
If the operating conditions are not met,
the system is activated but is no longer
effective. This is signalled by the fixed
illumination of these two warning lamps in
the instrument panel.

detection
If a change of direction is detected, you are
alerted by a warning lamp in the instrument
panel and an audible signal:
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system,
this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
message and confirmed by a
message in the screen.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
flashing of the left hand warning


lamp, if drifting to the left,
No warning is given while the direction indicator
is active and for approximately 20 seconds after
the direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be given if a direction
marking (arrow) or non-standard marking
(graffiti) is crossed.
The detection may suffer interference:
-

if the markings on the ground are worn,
-


if there is little contrast between the
markings on the ground and the road
surface. -
flashing

of the right hand warning
lamp, if drifting to the right.
Switching on
-

Press this button to switch the system


on, the indicator lamp in the button
goes

off.
The two indicators in the instrument panel
remain on up to 37 mph (60 km/h). Switching off
-

Press this button to switch of

f the
system, the indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
The status of the system remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off. The system may suffer interference or
not work correctly:
-
When the vehicle is carrying a very

heavy load (even more so if the load is
not evenly spread).
-
When the conditions of visibility are poor

(rain, fog, snow, ...).
-
When the lighting conditions are poor

(dazzling sun, shade, ...).
-
If the windscreen is dirty or damaged

close to the camera.
-
If the
ABS, DSC, ASR or Intelligent
Traction Control systems are out of
service.
The system is automatically deactivated
if the Stop & Start system is active. The
system will restart and check the operating
conditions again when the vehicle moves off.

trAFFIc SIGn rEcOGnItIOn
This system is a driving aid that make
use of a camera located at the top of the
windscreen.
The camera detects the following types of
traffic signs and displays the corresponding
information in the instrument panel:
-
speed limits,
-


no overtaking.
The units for the speed limits (mph or


km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
It should be taken into account so that you
observe the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in. The automatic reading of traffic signs is
a driving assistance system and does
not always display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed of the
vehicle to suit the weather and traffic.
It is possible for the system to not display
the speed limit if it does not detect a speed
limit sign within a preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs that
conform to the Vienna Convention on traffic
signs. To maintain correct operation of the
system:
- Regularly clean the area in front of the
camera.
-

Do not carry out any repairs to the area

of the windscreen close to the camera
lens.
When replacing headlamp bulbs, you
are strongly recommended to fit genuine
replacement parts.
The use of other bulbs could reduce the
performance of the system.

display in the touch screen tablet
then in the instrument panel
The display of traffic signs is done in the
following two phases:
-

All new recognised traf
fic signs are
displayed in the touch screen tablet in
the form of a popup for 40 seconds.
-

These traf
fic signs are then displayed in
the instrument panel.
The system can display two traffic signs
(speed limit and no overtaking) in parallel in
the two dedicated zones of the instrument
panel.
If an additional traffic sign is detected, such
as one for a reduced speed limit when the
road is wet, this is displayed in an empty
window below the corresponding sign. Additional traffic signs are filtered as follows:
-

Signs related to snow or ice are

displayed only if the ambient
temperature is below 3°C.
-

Signs related to snow
, rain or fog are
displayed only if the wipers are on and
the ambient temperature is below 3°C.
-

Signs related to heavy goods vehicles

are only displayed if they apply to
vehicles weighing less than 4 tonnes.
-

Signs related to farm vehicles are not

displayed.
Principles
Using the camera located at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects and reads
speed limit and no overtaking traffic signs
and signs that indicate the end of these
restrictions.
