Get Driving -> Lane Departure Warning System Guide for Citroen Spacetourer Van First Generation (2019-2024)

Driving

This system is a driving aid that cannot,

in any circumstances, replace the

driver's own vigilance. The driver must

remain in control of the vehicle under all

circumstances.

The system helps the driver only when

there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily

wandering from the lane it is being driven

in. It does not manage the safe driving

distance, the speed of the vehicle or the

brakes.

Lane Departure Warning

System

Using a camera located at the top of the

windscreen to identify lane markings on the

ground, the system corrects the trajectory of

the vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects

a risk of involuntary crossing of a line.

This system is particularly useful on motorways

and main roads.

The driver can maintain control of the

vehicle at any time by sharply turning

the steering wheel and/or pressing the

accelerator pedal.

Operation of the function may be felt by

slight vibration in the brake pedal.

If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,

the automatic braking is maintained for

1 to 2 seconds.

The driver must hold the steering wheel

with both hands in a way that allows

control to be maintained in circumstances

where the system is not able to intervene

(if lane markings disappear, for example).

It is necessary to observe the driving

regulations and take a break every two

hours.

Malfunction

In the event of a fault with the

system, you are alerted by the

illumination of this warning lamp,

accompanied by the display of

a message and an audible signal.

Conditions for operation

6

The speed of the vehicle must be between

40 mph and 112 mph (65 km/h and 180 km/h).

The driver must hold the steering wheel with

both hands.

The change of trajectory must not be

accompanied by operation of the direction

indicators.

Operation

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system checked.

Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle

involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings

detected, it makes the correction to the

trajectory required to return the vehicle to its

initial path.

The driver will notice a turning movement of the

steering wheel.

The ESC system must be activated and fault-

free.

This warning lamp flashes during

trajectory correction.

trajectory of the vehicle, they can prevent

the correction by keeping a firm grip on

the wheel (during an avoiding manoeuvre,

for example).

The correction is interrupted if the

direction indicators are operated.

Driving situations and

associated alerts

To benefit from all necessary information on

the instrument panel, you must previously

select the "DRIVING" display mode.

The table below describes the alerts and

messages displayed depending on the driving

situation.

While the direction indicators are on and for

a few seconds after switching them off, the

system considers that any change of trajectory

is voluntary and no correction is triggered

during this period.

The display of these alerts is not sequential.

However, with the Blind Spot Detection system

activated, if the driver starts changing lanes

and another vehicle is detected in the vehicle's

blind spot, the system will correct the trajectory

of the vehicle even though the direction

indicators are on.

For more information on the Blind Spot

Detection, refer to the corresponding section.

If, during correction, the system detects that the driver has not held the wheel for a few

seconds, it interrupts the correction and returns control to the driver.

enough and that a solid line is crossed (orange line): the driver is warned that they must

complete the correction of the trajectory.

than 112 mph (180 km/h),

-

immediate, deactivation of the system is

recommended),

Activation/Deactivation
