Driving
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.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well as
any associated functions, may be disrupted
by noise pollution such as that emitted by
noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30
cm away
from the sensors and cameras.
Mats/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims not
approved by CITROËN may interfere with
the operation of the speed limiter or cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–
Ensure that the mat is secured correctly
.
–
Never fit one mat on top of another
.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Road signs recognition
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system displays the maximum speed
authorised locally on the instrument panel, using:
–
Speed limit signs detected by the camera.
–
Speed limit information from the navigation
system’
s mapping.
–
Signs indicating a shared traffic zone detected
by the camera.

Blind spot monitoring
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system warns the driver of a potential
danger posed by the presence of another vehicle
(car, lorry, motorcycle) in the vehicle's blind
spots (areas hidden from the driver's field of
vision) using sensors located on the sides of the
bumpers.
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the
side in question:
–
fixed
, immediately, when being overtaken;
–
flashing , after a delay of about one second,
when overtaking a vehicle slowly
, and when the
direction indicator is used.
159
Driving
6Activation/Deactivation
The settings are changed via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen
menu.
When starting the vehicle, the
warning lamp
comes on in each mirror to indicate that the
system is activated.

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.
–
The speed of your vehicle must be between 7
and 87 mph (12 and 140
km/h).
–
When overtaking a vehicle, the speed
difference is less than 6
mph (10 km/h).
–
When overtaken by a vehicle, the speed
difference is less than 16
mph (25 km/h).
–
T

etc.
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.
–
on winding roads or in case of sharp turns.
–
when overtaking or being overtaken by a
very long vehicle (e.g.
truck, bus), which is both
detected in a blind spot from behind and present
in the driver's field of vision from the front.
–
quick overtaking manoeuvre.
–
very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front
and behind are confused with a lorry or a
stationary object.
Malfunction
If the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The system may be temporarily disturbed by certain weather conditions (e.g. rain,
hail).
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 front and rear bumpers with adhesive

Reversing camera
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .With the ignition on, this system uses a camera
located near the third brake lamp to display
a view of the rear of your vehicle on the
reproduction screen (if it is a panel van or has a
solid partition).
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged. The image
is displayed on the reproduction screen. The
reproduction screen switches off when the
gearbox is in neutral or in a forward gear.
The blue lines 1 represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the gap corresponds to the width
of your vehicle with the mirrors).
The red line 2 represents a distance of about
30
cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
bumper.
The green lines 3 represent distances of about 1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves 4 represent the
maximum turning circle.
Some objects may not be seen by the
camera.
Certain vehicles may be difficult to see
(dark colours, lamps off) when the
brightness of the screen is reduced using the
vehicle’s lighting dimmer.
The image quality may be affected by the surroundings, the exterior conditions
(rain, dirt, dust), the driving mode and the
lighting conditions (night, low sun).
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.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
During parking manoeuvres and lane
changes, it is important to check the sides of
the vehicle using the mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also supplement the
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
