Lane Departure Warning
System
System which uses a camera to recognise solid
or broken lines and detects the involuntary
crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on
the road.
The camera analyses the image then, if the
driver's attention drops and the speed is higher
than 37 mph (60 km/h), triggers a warning if
there is an unexpected change of direction.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the driver’s
own vigilance.
Manual deactivation/
reactivation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start-up.
The function is deactivated by a long
press on this button.
The indicator lamp for the button indicates the
status of the function:
-

O
ff: the function is activated.
-

O
n: the function is deactivated.
The status of the system remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Detection
You are alerted by the flashing of
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible
signal.
No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is active.
Malfunction
The flashing and then constant illumination of
the warning lamp accompanied by illumination
of the Ser vice warning lamp indicates a fault in
the system.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Detection may be impeded:
-

i
f the road markings are worn,
-

i
f there is little contrast between the
road markings and the road surface,
-

i
f the windscreen is dirty,
-

i
n certain weather conditions: fog,
heavy rain, snow, shade, bright
sunlight or direct exposure to the sun
(low sun, leaving a tunnel, etc.).
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
mask the camera's view.

High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, direct the
lance at least 30 cm away from the
sensors.
Parking assistance
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (examples: pedestrian, vehicle, tree,
gate) which comes within the field of detection
of sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (examples: post,
roadworks cone) detected initially will no longer
be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they are located in blind spots in the sensors'
field of detection. This system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in 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 remains 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 no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).The proximity information is given by an intermittent
audible signal, the frequency of which increases as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

Driving

152
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in
front or behind.
Deactivation/Activation
The system is activated and deactivated from
the vehicle configuration menu or via the button
on the dashboard (depending on version).
With/without audio system
F Press this button; the button indicator lamp lights up to
confirm deactivation of the
function.
With touch screen
F In the Driving/Vehicle menu,
select the " Driving functions "
tab, then " Parking sensors ".The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed or a
bicycle carrier is fitted on a towbar (vehicle
fitted with a towbar installed in line with
the manufacturer's recommendations).
Malfunction
If a fault occurs when shifting
to reverse, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking sensor
system. High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, direct the
lance at least 30
cm away from the
sensors.
Top Rear Vision camera
With the engine running, and as soon as the
reverse gear is engaged, this system allows
two views of your vehicle’s close surroundings
to be displayed on the touch screen using a
rear camera.
Driving

153
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.
The parking sensors supplement the
information on the view from above the vehicle.
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 from the parking sensors.
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
Principle of operation
Using the rear camera, the near surroundings
of the vehicle are recorded whilst manoeuvring
at low speed. 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.
This system is a visual aid that cannot in
any circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The images provided by the camera may
be distorted by the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and
with lower contrast.

view from above, as an obstacle is approached
at the level of the red line (less than 30
cm)
during a manoeuvre.
Standard view
The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the
screen.
The blue lines represent the width of your
vehicle with the mirrors unfolded; the direction
changes with the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper, the two blue lines 1

The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.This manoeuvring assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle ensuring that the space remains
clear throughout the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
The Park Assist system cannot work with
the engine off. C.
Bay parking.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel per forms rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could block
the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scar ves,
ties, etc.) - Risk of injury!
When the Park Assist is active, it prevents
the Stop & Start going into STOP mode.
In STOP mode, activating Park Assist
restarts the engine. The Park Assist system takes control
of the assistance for a maximum of
4
manoeuvre cycles. The function is
deactivated after these 4 cycles. If you
think that your vehicle is not positioned
correctly, you should then take control of
the steering to carry out the manoeuvre.
During phases of entry into and exit from a
parking space, the system provides visual
and audible information to the driver in order
to make the manoeuvres safe. It may be
necessary to move for wards and backwards
more than once.
The Park Assist system provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:
B.Exit from a parallel parking space. The sequence of manoeuvres and the
driving instructions are displayed on the
touch screen.
The assistance is activated:
the display of this symbol and
a speed limit indicate that
the steering manoeuvres are
controlled by the system: do not
touch the steering wheel.
The assistance is deactivated:
the display of this symbol
indicates that the steering
manoeuvres are no longer
controlled by the system:
you must take control of the
steering.
You should always check the surroundings
of your vehicle before starting a
manoeuvre.
