qualified workshop.

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 warning lamp lights up on the

instrument panel with the message

"Driving Assistance Sensor blind: Clean

sensor" if the sensor is masked.

This is a normal behavior, which does not

request the support of a qualified workshop.

In this case, stop the vehicle and verify if the

front camera is covered by dirt, mud, sand,

snow, ice or anything preventing the sensing.

The system is operational again after the

detection field has been cleaned.

Detection

This system is particularly useful on

motorways and main roads.

If an unexpected change of direction is

detected, this warning lamp flashes in

the instrument panel accompanied by an

audible signal.

No warning is transmitted while the direction

indicator is activated and for approximately

20 seconds after the direction indicator is

switched off.

Operating conditions

Lane departure warning

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids.

– Vehicle speed between 37 and 109 mph (60

and 175 km/h).

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, this

warning lamp comes on on the

instrument panel, accompanied by the display

of a message and an audible signal.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop.

– Road marked with a central dividing line.

– Steering wheel held with both hands.

– Direction indicators off upon activation of

the system.

This system, using a camera which recognises

solid or broken lines, detects the involuntary

crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on

the ground.

If the driver's attention drops and the speed

is higher than 37 mph (60 km/h), the system

triggers a warning if there is an unexpected

change of direction.

– ESC system activated and operational.

The system helps the driver only if

there is a risk of the vehicle

with both hands so that they can maintain

control when the conditions no longer allow

correction necessary to restore the vehicle to

its original lane.

The driver will notice a turning movement of

the steering wheel.

Operation

This warning lamp flashes during

trajectory correction.

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

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.

Driving situations and related alerts

The table below describes the alerts and messages displayed in different driving situations.

The actual order of display of these alerts may be different.

Comments

The system corrects the trajectory on the side where the risk of line crossing is

detected. The driver's hands are on the steering wheel.

If, while correcting the trajectory, the system determines that the correction will not be

enough and that a solid line will be crossed: the driver is warned that they must provide

additional trajectory adjustment.

If a trajectory correction lasts more than 10 seconds, the driver is warned with an

audible warning accompanied by a message. If the driver is still unable to keep the

vehicle in the lane, the correction interrupts after a short time.

If the steering wheel is not held properly, an audible warning sounds, accompanied by

a message, until the trajectory correction is completed or the driver has grasped the

steering wheel correctly.

"Make sure you stay in the

lane"

The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple corrections are performed

in quick succession. The warning will become continuous, persisting until the driver

responds.

– Crossing the inside line on a bend.

– Close proximity to the vehicle in front

(lane markings may not be detected).

– Roads that are narrow, winding.

Operating limits

– Driving on a tight bend.

– Driving on hilly roads.

– Inactivity by the driver detected during

correction.

The system goes into standby automatically in

the following cases:

– ESC deactivated or operation triggered.

– Speed below 37 mph (60 km/h) or greater

than 109 mph (175 km/h).

– Electrical connection to a trailer.

– Use of a "space-saver" spare wheel detected

(as detection is not immediate, deactivation of

the system is recommended).

– Dynamic driving style detected, pressure on

the brake or accelerator pedal.

– Driving over lane markings.

Risk of undesirable operation

The system should be deactivated in the

following situations:

– When changing a wheel or working near a

wheel.

– Towing or with a bicycle carrier on a towing

device, especially with trailer not plugged in or

not approved.

The following situations may interfere

with the operation of the system or

prevent it from working:

– Insufficient contrast between the road

surface and the verge or hard shoulder

(e.g. shade).

– Lane markings worn, hidden (e.g. snow,

mud) or multiple (e.g. roadworks).

– Road in poor condition, unstable or with very

poor grip (risk of aquaplaning, snow, ice).

– Activation of the direction indicators.
