If the camera has confirmed
the presence of a vehicle or a
pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes (for about 10 seconds) once
the function is acting on the vehicle's
brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop, keep the brake
pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from
starting off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by sharply turning
the steering wheel and/or pressing the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for 1
to 2
seconds.
Active Lane Departure
Warning System
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the
ground and the edges of the road (depending
on version), the system corrects the trajectory
of the vehicle while alerting the driver if it
detects a risk of involuntarily crossing a line or
roadside (depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between
40 mph and 112 mph (65 km/h and 180 km/h).
The driver must hold the steering wheel with both
hands.
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
The ESC system must be activated and fault-free.
This system is a driving aid that cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the driver’s own
vigilance. The driver must remain in control
of the vehicle under all circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when
there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane it is being driven
in. It does not manage the safe driving
distance, the speed of the vehicle or the
brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel
with both hands in a way that allows control
to be maintained in circumstances where
the system is not able to inter vene (if lane
markings disappear, for example).
It is necessary to obser ve the driving
regulations and take a break every two
hours.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system,
you are alerted by the continuous
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
If these warning lamps come
on after the engine has been
switched off and restarted, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
- The vehicle's speed must be between 6 mph
and 53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) when a
moving vehicle is detected.

Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border),
it makes the correction to the trajectory
necessary to return the vehicle to its initial path.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
The driver can prevent the correction by
keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during
an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).
The correction is interrupted if the
direction indicators are operated. If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough during
an automatic correction of trajectory,
it interrupts the correction. An alert is
triggered to encourage the driver to take
back control of the vehicle.
Deactivation/Activation
The system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched on.
Driving situations and
associated alerts
The table below describes the alerts and
messages displayed depending on the driving
situation.
The display of these alerts is not sequential.
While the direction indicators are on and for
a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that any change of trajectory
is voluntary and no correction is triggered
during this period.
F
P
ress and hold this button to deactivate the
system at any time.
Deactivation is signalled by the
illumination of the warning lamp in
the button and of this warning lamp
in the instrument panel.
Reactivation is achieved by a short press.

During a manoeuvre, the steering wheel
turns quickly: do not hold the steering
wheel, do not place your hand between
the spokes of the steering wheel. Watch
out for anything likely to block the
manoeuvre (loose and bulky clothing,
scar ves, ties, etc.) – Risks of injury!
It is the driver's responsibility to monitor
the state of the traffic continuously,
especially vehicles coming towards you.
The driver should check that no object
or person can hinder the advance of the
vehicle.
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen may be distorted by
the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and
with lower contrast.
The manoeuvre can be interrupted definitively
at any time, either by the driver or by the
system automatically. By the driver's action:
-
t
aking over control of the steering,
-
a
ctivating the direction indicator lamps on
the opposite side to that of the manoeuvre,
- u nfastening the driver's seat belt,
- s witching off the ignition.
3

exit.
Interruption by the system:
-

during the parking space entry manoeuvres
and 5
km/h or 3 mph during the parking
space exit manoeuvres,
-
t

a parallel parking space and after
7
manoeuvres to enter a parking bay.
Interrupting the manoeuvre automatically
deactivates the function. The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,
accompanied by the "
Manoeuvre cancelled "
message on the touch screen.
A message encourages the driver to take back
control of the vehicle.
The function is deactivated after
a few seconds, this warning lamp
goes off and the function returns to
the initial display.
End of the parking space entry or
exit manoeuvre
The vehicle stops as soon as the manoeuvre is
completed.
The manoeuvring symbol is displayed in red
accompanied by the " Manoeuvre completed "
message on the touch screen.
Deactivation of the function is
confirmed by this indicator lamp
going off, accompanied by an
audible signal.
If entering a parking space, the driver may be
required to complete the manoeuvre.
