Fatigue detection system
It is recommended that you take a break as soon as you feel tired or at least every two hours.
D epending on version, the vehicle either has the "Driving time warning system" only, or this combined with the "Fatigue detection system".
Driving time warning
The system t riggers a n a lert o nce i t d etects t hat t
he driver has not taken a break after two hours
o
f driving at a speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).
This
alert takes the form of the display of a
m
essage encouraging you to take a break,
a
ccompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped.
The system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance
on
the
part
of
the
driver.
Do
not
take
the
wheel
if
you
are
tired. As soon as the speed of the vehicle
drops
below 40 mph (65 km/h), the
s
ystem goes into standby.
The
driving time is counted again once
t
he speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).
The
system resets itself if one of the following c
onditions is met:
-
e
ngine running, the vehicle has been
s
tationary for more than 15 minutes,
-
t
he ignition has been switched off for a few
m
inutes,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and
t
heir door is open.
The system is activated or deactivated in the
touch
screen
tablet.
Activation / Deactivation
In the Driving menu, select the " Settings" tab,
then " Driving aids " and "Fatigue Detection
System ".

Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time warning system" may be combined with the
"
Fatigue detection system".
Using
a camera placed at the top of the
w
indscreen, the system assesses the driver's
l
evel of vigilance by identifying variations in
t
rajectory compared to the lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed
higher than 40 mph (65 km/h)).Once the system considers that the behaviour
of
the vehicle suggests a certain level of fatigue
o
r inattention by the driver, it triggers the first
l
evel of alert.
The
driver is then alerted by the message
"Ta
k e c a r e !", accompanied by an audible
signal.
After
three first level alerts, the system triggers
a
new alert with the message "Take a break! ",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal. In
certain driving conditions (poor road
s
ur face or strong winds), the system
m
ay give alerts independent of the
d
river's level of vigilance.
The following situations may inter fere
w
ith operation of the system or prevent
it working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting
o
f the roadway, falling snow, heavy
r
ain, dense fog, ...),
- d azzle (headlamps of an oncoming v
ehicle, low sun, reflections on
a
damp road, leaving a tunnel,
a
lternating shade and light, ...),
-
w
indscreen area located in front
of
the camera: dirty, misted, frost-
covered,
snow-covered, damaged
o
r covered by a sticker,
-
l
ane markings absent, worn,
m
asked (snow, mud) or multiple
(
roadworks,
...
),
-
c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings
not detected),
-
r
oads that are narrow, winding, ...

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is
in front or behind. The system will be deactivated
automatically
if a trailer is being
t
owed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
installed
in line with the manufacturer's
r
ecommendations).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud,
ice or snow. When reverse gear is
e
ngaged, an audible signal (long beep)
i
ndicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry,
pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
t
he audible signals of the parking
s
ensor system.
As
an
addition to the rear parking sensors, the
f
ront
parking sensors are triggered when an
o
bstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the
vehicle remains below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The
front parking sensors are interrupted if
t
he vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in
for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
d
etected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h). The parking sensors can be deactivated in the
t
ouch screen tablet.

Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
This is given by fixed illumination of t
his warning lamp, accompanied by
a

e
quipment, the display of a message. It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time
one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
a

excessive
steering movements and sudden
b
raking.
F
S
top the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to
do
so. F
I n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary
puncture repair kit or the spare
w
heel (depending on equipment),
or
F
i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check
t
he pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F
i
f it is not possible to make this check
i
mmediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always
cause visible bulging of the tyre.
D
o
not satisfy yourself with just a visual
c
heck. The alert is maintained until the system
is
r
einitialised.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
sn
ow
c
hains.
Before
reinitialising the system, ensure
t
hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
i
ncorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Before
doing anything to the system,
t
he pressures of the four tyres must be
checked
and the system reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert can only be
relied on if reinitialisation of the system
is done with the four tyre pressures
correctly
set. In
this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
t
yres is no longer assured.
Have
the system checked by a CITROËN
