System that uses a camera to recognise
continuous or broken lines on traffic lanes and
triggers an alert if the vehicle wanders off line.
If the direction indicator is not used at speeds
above 37
mph (60
km/h) and there is a risk of
one of these lines on the ground being crossed,

Fatigue detection system
It is recommended that you take a break as
soon as you feel tired or at least every two
hours.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.
Driving time 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).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
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).
Activation/Deactivation
The system is activated or deactivated via the
vehicle configuration menu.
With audio system
In the "Personalisation-
configuration " menu, activate/
deactivate " Fatigue Detection
System ".
With the touch screen
In the "Driving/Vehicle " menu,
activate/deactivate " Fatigue
Detection System ".
This alert is issued via the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Driver attention alert
Depending on version, the "Driving time
warning" may be combined with the "Driver
attention alert". The system assesses the driver's
level of alertness by identifying
trajectory changes in relation to the
lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40
mph (65 km/h)).
Driving
Page 227 of 400

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.

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.

The warning lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
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 with 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.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not place
the tip of the lance within 30
cm of the
sensors as other wise there is a risk of
damaging them.
In the event of a fault, these warning lamps
flash.

Parking sensors
This system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistanceVisual assistance
This system indicates the proximity of any
obstacle (examples: pedestrian, vehicle, tree,
gate) which comes within the field of detection
of sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (examples: stake,
roadworks cone) detected initially will no longer
be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they are located in blind spots in the sensors'
field of detection.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars on the screen or the instrument
panel that move progressively nearer to the
vehicle. When the obstacle is at its closest, the
"Danger" symbol is displayed.

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 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).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in
front or behind.
Deactivation/Activation
The system is activated and deactivated from
the vehicle configuration menu.
With audio system
In the " Personalisation-
configuration " menu, activate/
deactivate " Parking assistance ".
With the touch screen
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).

When engaging reverse and depending on the
vehicle's equipment, in the event of a fault:
This warning lamp comes on and a
message appears, accompanied by
an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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.
In the "

Reversing camera with
display in the interior
mirror
The visual reversing assistance camera is
activated automatically when reverse gear is
engaged.
The function may be supplemented by parking
sensors.They are represented by lines marked "on
the ground" and do not allow the position
of the vehicle to be determined relative to
tall obstacles (for example: other
vehicles).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
It is normal to see part of the number plate
displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Opening the tailgate or rear door
(depending on equipment) can interfere
with the display.
If a side door is open, allow for the space
it occupies. Check the cleanliness of the camera lens
regularly.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
The image is displayed in the interior mirror. The blue lines represent the width of your
vehicle including the mirrors.
The red line represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper and the thin blue lines
respectively 1 m (
A) and 2 m (
B).
