Driving safely
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver.
Operating conditions
Once running, the system is only active
when the operating conditions are met:
-
-
The vehicle is moving forward.
No operating fault is detected in the
vehicle.
If the windscreen is damaged, it is strongly
recommended that you go to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop for any
replacement or calibration of the camera.
-
-
The vehicle is moving at a speed of at
least 37 mph (60 km/h).
The longitudinal lane markings on the
ground are clearly visible.
-
-
The conditions of visibility are normal.

Operation
The vehicle is in a straight line trajectory
(or if cornering, the corners are of large
radius).
The system starts automatically when
moving off.
System which detects the involuntary
crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings
on the ground (continuous or discontinuous
line).
-
The field of vision is sufficiently clear
(the safe distance from the vehicle in
front is observed).
A check of the operating
conditions takes place: these two
indicator lamps come on in the
instrument panel.
-
If a lane marking is crossed (when
changing lane for example), the
corresponding direction indicator (left or
right) for the manoeuvre, is not used.
A camera, fitted at the top centre of the
windscreen monitors the road and detects
lane markings and the position of the vehicle
within them.
-
The vehicle's trajectory matches the
lane markings on the road.
With the vehicle running at a speed higher
than 35 mph (60 km/h), it triggers a warning
if the vehicle drifts off line.
When these conditions are met, these
two indicator lamps go off. The system is
activated.
This system operates to its full potential in
particular when used on motorways and
main roads.
If the operating conditions are not met,
the system is activated but is no longer
effective. This is signalled by the fixed
illumination of these two warning lamps in
the instrument panel.
