2018 CITROEN DISPATCH SPACETOURER driver alert

225
When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain fatigue or
inattention threshold on the part of the driver, it
triggers the first level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
"Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.
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 interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
working:
-

p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting of
the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),
-
d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
- w indscreen area located in front of the
camera: dirty, misted, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a s t i c ke r,
-

l
ane markings absent, worn, masked
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,
e t c .),
-

c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-

r
oads that are narrow, winding, etc.
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.
Blind spot monitoring
system
A fixed warning lamp appears in the door mirror
on the side in question:
-
i
mmediately, when being overtaken,
-

a
fter 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 hidden from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger.

Driving

226
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 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 the 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

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
caravan, etc. No alert will be given in the following situations:
-

i
n the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs, etc.),
-
on

coming traffic,
-

d
riving on a winding road or a sharp corner,-

w
hen overtaking or being overtaken by a
very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) which is
also in the rear blind spot and present in the
driver’s front field of vision,
-

i
n very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry or
a stationary object,
-

w
hen overtaking quickly.

Under-inflation detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check
the tyre inflation pressures (including
the spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3
bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by fixed
illumination of the lamp, an audible
signal and, depending on the
equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.
F

R

educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.
F

S

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
F

I

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F

i

f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F

i

f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.

Important: if your vehicle's AdBlue®
tank is completely empty – which is
confirmed by the alert messages and the
impossibility of starting the engine – you
must add at least 4

litres and no more than
10


litres.

fter emptying the container or bottle, wipe
away any spillage around the tank filler
using a damp cloth. If any fluid is spilt or splashed, wash
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off
using a sponge and hot water.

running out of AdBlue
, signalled
by the message " Top up AdBlue:
starting impossible ", you must wait for
about 5 minutes before switching the
ignition on again, without opening the
driver's door, unlocking the vehicle,
introducing the remote control key
into the ignition switch, or placing the
K

Practical information

The RDS, if activated, enables you to
continue listening to the same station
by automatically retuning to alternative
frequencies. However, in certain conditions,
coverage of this RDS station may not be
assured throughout the entire country as
radio stations do not cover 100% of the
territory. This explains the loss of reception
of the station during a journey.
