Active Blind Spot
Monitoring System
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Driving

165
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.

Malfunction
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 by 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.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a
towing device
approved by CITROËN.
If a

fault occurs, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accompanied by the
display of a

message.
Contact a

CITROËN dealer or a

qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
No alert will be given and no correction will be
made in the following situations: -
i
n the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs, etc.),
-

w

ith vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
-

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
both in the rear blind spot and present in the
driver's front field of vision,
-

w

hen overtaking quickly,
-

i

n very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a

lorry or
a


stationary object,
-

i
