Driving
if the front camera or the front radar is covered
by dirt, snow, ice or anything preventing the
sensing.
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If these warning lamps come on
after the engine has been switched
off and then restarted, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
These warning lamps light up on the instrument panel and/or in the
warning lamp display for seat belts and front
passenger airbag to indicate that the driver's
and/or front passenger's seat belt is not fastened
(depending on version). The automatic braking
system is deactivated until the seat belts are
fastened.
Distraction detection
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
The function comprises the "Coffee Break Alert"
system 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.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Activation/Deactivation
By default, the function is automatically activated
at every engine start.
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
Coffee Break Alert
The system triggers an alert when it detects that the driver has not taken a
break after two hours of driving at a speed above
43 mph (70
km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message
encouraging the driver 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:
–

With the 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 43 mph (70 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once
the speed reaches above 43
mph (70 km/h).
Driver Attention Warning

The system assesses the driver's level of alertness, fatigue and distraction by
identifying trajectory changes in relation to the
lane markings.
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 43 mph (70
km/h)).
At a first alert level, the driver is warned by
the message "Caution!“, accompanied by an
audible signal.
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers
a further alert with the message " Driving

129
Driving
6risk: Take a break", accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
Active lane departure warning system
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
The system corrects the vehicle's trajectory by
alerting the driver as soon as it detects a risk of
involuntary
lane departure or crossing of a verge
or hard shoulder (depending on version).
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen, identifying the
lane markings on the ground and the side of the
road (depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.


Conditions for operation
– Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70
and 180 km/h).
–

Road marked with a central dividing line.
–


Steering wheel held in both hands.
– Direction indicators off upon activation of the
system.
–

ESC system activated and operational.
The system helps the driver only if there is a risk of the vehicle unintentionally
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It
does not manage the safe driving distance,
vehicle speed or braking.
The driver must hold the steering wheel with
both hands so that they can maintain control
when the conditions no longer allow the
system to intervene (e.g. in the event that
the central dividing line marking on the road
surface disappears).
Operation
As soon as the system identifies a risk of
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected on the ground or a lane boundary
(e.g.
grass verge), it performs the trajectory
correction necessary to restore the vehicle to its
original lane.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during trajectory correction.
The driver can prevent the correction by firmly holding the steering wheel
(e.g.
during an emergency manoeuvre).
The correction is interrupted immediately if
the direction indicators are operated. While the direction indicators are activated and
for a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that a change of trajectory is
intentional and no correction is triggered during
this period.

Automatic zoom view

The rear camera records the surroundings
during the manoeuvre to create a rear view from
above the vehicle in its close surroundings,
making it possible to manoeuvre the vehicle
around the surrounding obstacles.
Using the sensors located on the rear bumper,
the automatic zoom view is displayed when
approaching an obstacle at the red line (less
than 30 cm) during the manoeuvre.
This view is only available automatically.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
It is important to monitor the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
Parking sensors also provide additional
information about the area around the vehicle.

The screen is divided into 4 parts with two side
menus, a contextual view and a view from above
the vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the information
in the view from above the vehicle.
Depending on the view angle chosen in the
left-hand side menu, the system provides
specific visual assistance in particular driving
conditions such as entering a blind intersection
or manoeuvring in areas with reduced visibility.

undesirable odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles
used in town, over short distances. It may be
necessary to have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads
are worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc
wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50
km/h), add
