Fatigue detection system
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids
.
Take a break as soon as you feel tired or at
least every two hours.
Depending on version, the function comprises
either the "Driver Attention Warning" system
alone or combined with the "Driver Attention
Alert" system.
Activation/Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is done in
the vehicle configuration menu.
Coffee Break Alert
The system triggers an alert as soon
as it detects that the driver has not
taken a break after two hours of
driving at a speed above 40 mph
(65


km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
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 opened.
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).
Driver’s Attention Warning
Depending on version, the "Coffee Break Alert"
system is combined with the "Driver’s Attention
Warning" system.

Driving

176
Using a camera placed at the top
of the windscreen, the system
assesses the driver's level of
vigilance by identifying variations
in trajectory compared to the lane
markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65
km/h)).
When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain threshold of
driver fatigue or inattention, 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 further alert with the message " Dangerous
driving: 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
from working:
-
l

ane markings absent, worn, hidden
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks),
-

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

r
oads that are narrow, winding, etc.
Blind Spot Detection
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system warns the driver of the presence of
another vehicle (car, lorry, bicycle) in the blind
spots of their vehicle (areas hidden from the
driver's field of vision), as soon as this presents
a potential danger. The alert is given by a fixed warning lamp
which 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.
Operation
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
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.
The following conditions must be met for this:
-

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

Malfunction
Depending on your vehicle's equipment:
orThe warning lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. In the event of a fault, this warning lamp(s)
flashes.
Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear, as confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear. Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
Audible assistance
The function signals the presence of obstacles
present within the sensors’ detection zone.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
allows you to identify the side on which the
obstacle is located.
Visual assistance
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
CITROËN.
Driving

179
It supplements the audible signal by displaying
bars on the screen that move progressively
nearer to the vehicle (green: more distant
obstacles ; yellow: close obstacles ; red: very
close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
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 an obstacle is no longer
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) locates the obstacle in relation to the
vehicle, in front or behind.
Deactivation/Activation
Without audio system
With audio system or touch
screen
The deactivation or activation
is carried out via the vehicle
configuration menu.
The rear parking sensors system will
be deactivated automatically if a trailer
or bicycle carrier is connected to a
towing device installed in line with the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Reversing camera with
display in the interior
mirror
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
The visual reversing assistance camera is
activated automatically when reverse gear is
engaged. If a malfunction occurs, when
shifting to reverse, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal (short
b e e p).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked. The function may be supplemented by parking
sensors.
The image is displayed in the interior mirror. They are represented as lines marked
"on the ground" and do not indicate the
position of the vehicle in relation to tall
obstacles (e.g. other vehicles).
Some distortion of the image is normal.
It is normal to have a part of the number
plate showing at the bottom of the screen.
Opening the tailgate or rear door
(depending on equipment) can interfere
with the display.
If a side-hinged door is open, allow for the
space it occupies.
The blue lines ( 1) represent the width of the
vehicle including the mirrors.
The red line ( 2) represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper and the thin blue lines
1
m (A) and 2
m (B) respectively. Check the cleanliness of the camera lens
regularly.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
Top Rear Vision

the use of driving and manoeuvring aids
.
Driving

181
As soon as reverse gear is engaged with the
engine running, this system displays views of
your vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch
screen using a camera located at the rear of
the vehicle.
The screen is divided into two parts: on the left,
a contextual view ; on the right, a view from
above the vehicle in its close surroundings. Different contextual views can be displayed in
the left-hand part:
-

s
tandard view,
-
1
80° view,
-
z
oom view.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information transmitted by the parking sensors.
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
Principle of operation
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the blue brackets) in real time and as
the manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen.
This image is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
The parking sensors supplement the
information on the view from above the vehicle.
The display disappears above
approximately 6 mph (10
km/h).
The system is automatically deactivated
about 7 seconds after coming out of
reverse or on opening a door or the boot.
Activation
Activation is automatic on engaging reverse at
a speed lower than 6 mph (10 km/h).
Using the rear camera, the vehicle's
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
at low speed.
