LANE DEPARTURE

WARNING SYSTEM

Activation

Operating fault

 Press button A, the indicator

lamp comes on.

In the event of a malfunction, the

service warning lamp comes on, ac-

companied by an audible signal and a

message on the multifunction screen.

System which detects the involun-

tary crossing of longitudinal trafﬁc

lane markings on the ground (solid

or broken line).

Sensors, ﬁtted below the front

bumper, trigger a warning if the vehi-

cle drifts over a lane marking (speed

higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).

Deactivation

 Press button A again, the indicator

lamp switches off.

The status of the system remains

in the memory when the ignition is

switched off.

Consult a CITROËN dealer.

The detection may be impeded:

if the sensors are dirty (mud, snow...),

-

if the markings on the ground

are worn,

-

if there is little contrast between

the markings on the ground and

the road surface.

Detection

You are warned by the vibration of

the driver's seat cushion:

-

on the right-hand side, if the

marking on the ground has been

crossed on the right,

-

on the left-hand side, if the marking

on the ground has been crossed on

the left.

No warning is transmitted while the direc-

tion indicator is active and for approxi-

mately 20 seconds after the direction

indicator is switched off.

A warning may be transmitted if a direc-

tion marking (e.g. arrow) or non-standard

marking (e.g. grafﬁti) is crossed.

IX

This system is particularly useful on

motorways and main roads.

The lane departure warning system

cannot, in any circumstances, re-

place the need for vigilance and res-

ponsibility on the part of the driver.

ASSISTANCE

Programming

The parking assistance system

cannot, in any circumstances, take

the place of the vigilance and res-

ponsibility of the driver.

You can activate or deactivate the

system by means of the multifunc-

tion screen conﬁguration menu. The

system state is memorised when

switching off the ignition.

For more information on access to

the parking assistance menu, refer to

the section on vehicle conﬁguration

for your screen under "Multifunction

screens".

The system will be deactivated auto-

matically when towing a trailer or

when a bicycle carrier is ﬁtted (vehi-

cle ﬁtted with a towbar or bicycle car-

rier recommended by CITROËN).

System consisting of four proximity

sensors, located in the rear bumper.

This detects any obstacle (person,

vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the

vehicle, except obstacles located

just below the bumper.

An object, such as a stake, a road-

works cone or any other similar

object may be detected at the begin-

ning of the manoeuvre, but may no

longer be detected when the vehicle

comes close to it.

Activation

The system is activated as soon as

reverse gear is engaged, accompa-

nied by an audible signal. The proxi-

mity information is given by:

an audible signal, which beco-

mes more rapid as the vehicle

approaches the obstacle,

a graphic on the multifunction

screen, with blocks which be-

come increasingly closer to the

vehicle.

When the distance between the

rear of the vehicle and the obstacle

is less than thirty centimetres, the

audible signal becomes continuous

and the "Danger" symbol appears

on the multifunction screen.

On completion of the manoeuvre,

when you exit reverse gear, the system

becomes inactive.

Operating faults

If there is an operating fault,

when reverse gear is en-

gaged this warning lamp

IX

comes on in the instrument

panel, accompanied by an audible

signal (short beep) and a message

on the multifunction screen.

In bad or wintry weather, ensure that

the sensors are not covered with

mud, frost or snow.

System consisting of four proximity

sensors, installed in the front and/or

rear bumper.

It detects any obstacle (person, ve-

hicle, tree, barrier...) located in front

of and behind the vehicle, except for

obstacles located immediately be-

low the bumper.

An object, such as a stake, a road-

works cone or any other similar ob-

ject may be detected at the start of

the manoeuvre but may no longer

be detected when the vehicle moves

nearer to it.

This is accompanied by an audible

signal and/or displaying of the vehi-

cle on the multifunction screen.

The proximity information is indicated

by:

-

when the vehicle has been station-

ary for more than three seconds in

forward gear.

an audible signal which be-

comes more rapid as the vehicle

approaches the obstacle,

-

a diagram on the multifunction

screen, with blocks which move

closer to the vehicle.

cannot, in any circumstances, re-

place the need for vigilance and

responsibility on the part of the

driver.

The obstacle is located in relation to

the emission of the audible signal by

the speakers; front or rear and right

or left.

When the distance between the ve-

hicle and the obstacle is less than

approximately thirty centimetres, the

audible signal becomes continuous

and/or the "Danger" symbol appears,

depending on the multifunction

screen version.
