2020 CITROEN DISPATCH SPACETOURER sensor

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,
-

t
he speed of your 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),
-

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.

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

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).
