Driving -> Driving and manoeuvring aids - General recommendations for Your Citroen C3 Aircross SUV Second Generation (2024-2026)

Driving  
Non-standard or 'space-saver' spare  
wheel  
These systems do not make it possible to  
exceed the laws of physics.  
Reinitialisation  
The system must be reinitialised after any  
adjustment to the pressure of one or more  
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.  
The use of this type of spare wheel may  
suspend tyre pressure monitoring.  
In this case, the malfunction warning lamp  
comes on and disappears once the wheel  
has been replaced by one of uniform size  
(the same as the others), the pressure  
readjusted and the reinitialisation carried  
out.  
Driving aids  
You should hold the steering wheel  
with both hands, always use the door and  
interior mirrors, always leave your feet close  
to the pedals and take a break every 2 hours.  
Before reinitialising the system, make  
sure that the pressures of the four  
tyres are correct for the conditions of use of  
the vehicle and conform to the values  
written on the tyre pressure label.  
Check the pressures of the four tyres before  
performing the reinitialisation.  
The system does not advise if a pressure is  
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.  
Manoeuvring aids  
The driver must always check the  
surroundings of the vehicle before and  
during the whole manoeuvre, in particular  
using the mirrors.  
Driving and manoeuvring  
aids - General  
With the vehicle stationary, the system can be  
reinitialised via the instrument panel, using the  
steering-mounted controls.  
The reinitialisation is confirmed by the display  
of a message and an audible signal.

Legal Obligations  
In order to comply with European GSR v2  
regulations and for safety reasons, these  
functions cannot be partially or totally  
deactivated by the driver:  
– Speed Limit Information in the Road signs  
recognition system.  
– Active Safety Brake/Collision Risk Alert.  
– Lane keeping assist.  
– Parking sensors.  
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot,  
in any circumstances, replace the need  
for vigilance on the part of the driver.  
The driver must comply with the Highway  
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle  
in all circumstances and must be able to  
retake control of it at all times. The driver  
must adapt the speed to climatic conditions,  
traffic and the state of the road.  
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly  
monitor traffic conditions, assess the  
distance and relative speed of other vehicles,  
and anticipate their manoeuvres before  
using the direction indicator and changing  
lanes.  
Malfunction  
In the event of a malfunction,  
these warning lamps light up on  
the instrument panel.  
A message appears, accompanied by an audible  
signal.  
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring  
function is no longer performed.  
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a  
qualified workshop.

Sensors  
Mats/Pedal trims  
6
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.  
functions may be impaired or not work if  
the windscreen area in front of the camera  
is dirty, misty, frosty, covered with snow,  
damaged or masked by a sticker.  
In humid and cold weather, demist the  
windscreen regularly.  
Poor visibility (e.g. inadequate street lighting,  
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle  
(e.g. headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low  
sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a  
tunnel, alternating shade and light) can also  
impair detection performance.  
In the event of a windscreen replacement,  
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified  
workshop to recalibrate the camera;  
otherwise, the operation of the associated  
driving aids may be disrupted.  
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.  
Other cameras  
The images from the camera(s)  
displayed on the touch screen or on the  
instrument panel may be distorted by the  
terrain.  
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.  
Road signs recognition  
For more information, refer to the  
General recommendations on the use  
of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
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.  
Obstacles may appear further away than  
they actually are.
