The connection of an electrical device
not approved by CITROËN, such as
a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor radio
reception or inter ference with displays in
the screens.
USB sockets
The USB socket located at the front
also allows a smartphone to be
connected by MirrorLink
TM, Android
Auto® or CarPlay®, so that certain
smartphone applications can be used
on the touch screen. When the USB socket is used, the
portable device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed
if the power consumption of the portable
device exceeds the amperage supplied by
the vehicle.
For more information on how to use this
equipment, refer to the Audio equipment
and telematics
section.
Wireless smartphone
charger
It allows the wireless charging of a portable
d evice, such as a smartphone, using the
principle of magnetic induction, based on the Qi
1.1


standard.
The portable device to be charged must be
compatible with the Qi standard, either by
design or by using a
compatible holder or shell.
The charging area is identified by the Qi
symbol.
They allow the connection of a

portable device,
such as an iPod
®-type digital audio player, to
charge the device.
To achieve the best results, it is necessary to
use a

cable made or approved by the device
manufacturer.
These applications can be managed using the
steering mounted controls or those of the audio
system.

Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the
vehicle in all circumstances and must be
able to retake control of it at all times. The
driver must adapt the speed to climactic
conditions, traffic and the state of the
road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
check the traffic, to assess the relative
distances and speeds of other vehicles
and to anticipate their movements before
indicating and changing lane.
The systems cannot exceed the limits of
the laws of physics.
Switching off
F Press and hold this button to switch the camera off.
The indicator lamp in the button
goes off.
If you switch the camera off manually, it will
remain off even after the vehicle is restarted
and will have to be switched on manually.

Driving and manoeuvring
aids – General
recommendations
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the interior and
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep
your feet close to the pedals and take
a
break every two hours.

Driving

136
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and
during the whole manoeuvre, in particular
using the mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the
associated functions may be impaired
through the accumulation of dirt (mud,
frost, etc.), in certain difficult weather
conditions (very heavy rain, snow) or if the
bumper is damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop; certain types of paint could
inter fere with the operation of the radar. Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired if the windscreen area in
front of the camera is dirty, misty, frosty,
covered with snow, damaged or masked
by a
sticker.
On versions with camera alone, this
message indicates to you that the camera
is obstructed: " Driving aids camera:
Visibility limited, see user guide".
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low
sun, reflections on a
damp road, leaving
a
tunnel, alternating shade and light) can
also impair detection performance. Other cameras
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen or on the instrument
panel 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.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.

137
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high
pressure, direct the spray from at least
30 cm away from the radar, sensors and
cameras.
Mats
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the operation
of the speed limiter or cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
F

e
nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
F

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.Speed Limit recognition
and recommendation
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system displays the maximum authorised
speed in the instrument panel, according to
the speed limits in the country in which you are
driving, using:
-

S
peed limit signs detected by the camera.
-

S
peed limit details from the navigation
system mapping.
You should update your navigation
mapping regularly in order to receive
accurate speed limit information from the
system.

igns detected by the camera indicating the
area of a

Sensors
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with
what is authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a

CITROËN
dealer or a

qualified workshop.
The operation of the sensors as well as
the associated functions may be disturbed
by sound inter ference such as those
emitted by noisy vehicles and machinery
(e.g. lorries, pneumatic drills), by the
accumulation of snow or dead leaves
on the road or in the event of damaged
bumpers and mirrors.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors' settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not detect obstacles that
are too low (pavements, studs) or too thin
(trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors'
blind spots may not be detected or may no
longer be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.

This system warns the driver of the presence
of another vehicle in the blind spots of their
vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field
of vision), as soon as this presents a potential
danger.
A fixed warning lamp appears in the door mirror
on the side in question:
-
i

mmediately, when being overtaken,
-

a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a
vehicle slowly.
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross
a
lane marking with the direction indicator
activated, to help you avoid a
collision.This driving aid 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
relative distances and speeds of other
vehicles and to anticipate their movements
before deciding whether to change lane.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated and
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a
towing device
approved by CITROËN.
Operation
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon
as a
vehicle – car, lorry, bicycle – is detected.
A correction of trajectory will be felt if you
attempt to cross a
lane marking with the
direction indicator flashing.
The following conditions must be met for this:
-

a
ll vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes,
-

t
he speed of the vehicle must be between
7
and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h) for the
alert and between 40
and 87 mph (65 and
140
km/h) for a correction of trajectory,
-

t
he system must be activated to trigger
a
change of trajectory,
-

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 is flowing normally,
-

ov
ertaking a vehicle over a certain period
of time and the vehicle being overtaken
remains in the blind spot,
-

y
ou are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-

y
our vehicle is not towing a trailer, a
caravan, etc.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
