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.
Maintenance
Road signs recognition
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.
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Sensors
Mats/Pedal trims
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.
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.
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.
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.
– Signs indicating a shared traffic zone detected
by the camera.
In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
