Driving
6Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet surface 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 correct
operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot Monitoring System
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 indicators on, to
help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active
Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot
Monitoring System.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and 87 mph (65 and 140
km/h) inclusive.
These functions are especially suitable for
driving on motorways and main roads.
For more information on the Active Lane
Departure Warning System and Blind Spot
Monitoring System , refer to the corresponding
sections.
This system is a driving aid which cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Distraction detection
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Take a break in case of feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Depending on version, the function consists of
just the "Coffee Break Alert" system, or of this
combined with the "Driver Attention Warning"
system.
These systems are in no way designed to keep the driver awake or to prevent
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated or deactivated via the vehicle
configuration menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
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:
–
engine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes,
–
the ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes,
–
the 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).
