This system warns the driver of vehicles
approaching rapidly from the rear in adjacent
lanes (up to around 75 m) and of the presence of
a vehicle in the blind spots of their vehicle, using
corner radars located in the rear bumper.
This system takes into account vehicles
such as cars, lorries and motorcycles by
monitoring the blind spots or areas hidden
from the driver's field of vision.

132
Driving

A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the
side in question:
–
fixed
, immediately when another vehicle is in
the blind spot or is approaching in an adjacent
lane.
–

flashing , after about 1 second when the
direction indicator is used.
Activation/Deactivation
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
When starting the vehicle, the
warning lamp
comes on in each mirror to indicate that the
system is activated.
The status of the system is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towing device
approved by CITROËN.
Operating conditions
– All vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes.
–

When overtaking a vehicle, the speed
difference is less than 9

mph (15 km/h).
– Traffic is flowing normally.
– When overtaking a vehicle over a certain
period of time, the vehicle being overtaken
remains in the blind spot.
Operating limits
No alert is triggered in the following conditions:
– presence of stationary objects (e.g. parked
vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs).
–

vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.
–


if the rear bumper is damaged.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
This system does not replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. Always
check in the mirrors and look over your
shoulders before changing lanes to avoid an
accident.
If the rear bumper is to be repainted, contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop; certain types

qualified workshop.
The system may be temporarily disturbed by certain weather conditions (e.g. heavy
rain, hail or extreme temperature changes).
In particular, driving on a wet road or going
from a dry to a wet area can cause false
alerts (e.g.
presence of a cloud of water
droplets in the blind spot 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 rear bumper with adhesive labels or other
objects; they may hamper correct operation of
the system.
Parking sensors
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .

133
Driving
6This system detects and signals the proximity of
obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier)
using sensors located in the bumper.
Rear parking sensors
► Engage reverse gear to start the system
(confirmed by an audible signal).
The system is switched off when reverse gear is
disengaged.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of
the steering wheel.


Depending on version, in the example shown,
only the obstacles present in the shaded area
will be signalled by the audible assistance.
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) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
Adjusting the audible signalPressing this button in the touch
screen opens the window for
adjusting the volume of the audible signal.
Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen that represent the
distance between the obstacle and the vehicle
(white: more distant, orange: close, red: very
close).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the
vehicle is below 6 mph (10
km/h).
Front parking sensor operation is suspended if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected
or the vehicle speed exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle relative to
the vehicle, whether in front of or behind it on
its path.
Deactivation/Activation
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
If the function is deactivated, this indicator
lamp lights up on the instrument panel.
The system status is saved when the ignition is
switched off.
