In the event of a fault, this warning lamp flashes for a few moments in
t
he instrument panel, accompanied
b
y a message.
Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified w orkshop. The
system may suffer temporary
i
nterference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face o
r moving from a dry area to a wet area c
an cause false alerts (for example, the
p
resence of a fog of water droplets in
t
he blind spot angle is interpreted as a
v
ehicle).
In
bad or wintry weather, ensure that
t
he sensors are not covered by mud, ice
o
r snow.
Take
care not to cover the warning zone
i
n the door mirrors or the detection
z

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
a
lert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
s
topped.
The
system
cannot
in
any
c
ircumstances
replace
the
need
for
v
igilance
on
the
part
of
the
driver.
Do
not
take
the
wheel
if
you
are
tired. As
soon as the speed of the vehicle
d
rops 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).

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 o
f 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
s
ignal.
After
three first level alerts, the system triggers
a
new alert with the message "Take a break! ",
accompanied
by a more pronounced audible
s
ignal. 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
i
t 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
o
f 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
m
arkings not detected),
-
r
oads that are narrow, winding, ...

This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (examples: pedestrian, vehicle, tree,
g
ate) which comes within the field of detection
o
f sensors located in the bumper.
Certain
types of obstacle (examples: stake,
r
oadworks cone) detected initially will no longer
b
e detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
t
hey are located in blind spots in the sensors'
f
ield
o
f
d
etection.
Parking sensors
This system cannot in any circumstances replace the need for
v
igilance on the part of the driver.The
system is switched on by engaging reverse
g
e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
o
f reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an i
ntermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
i
ncreases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The
sound emitted by the speaker (right or
l
eft) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
l
ocated.
When
the distance between the vehicle and
t
he obstacle becomes less than approximately
t
hirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
c
ontinuous.
Rear parking sensors
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by d isplaying bars in the screen or the instrument
p
anel which move progressively nearer to
t
he vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the
"
Danger" symbol is displayed.

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
i
s in front or behind. The
system will be deactivated a
utomatically if a trailer is being
t
owed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a
towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
i
nstalled in line with the manufacturer's
r
ecommendations).In
bad weather or in winter, ensure t
hat the sensors are not covered with
m
ud, 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,
l
orry, 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
t
he
vehicle remains below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The
front parking sensors are interrupted if
t
he
vehicle stops for more than three seconds
i
n
for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
d
etected or when the speed of the vehicle
e
xceeds 6 mph (10 km/h). The parking sensors can be deactivated in the
t
ouch screen tablet.
F
I
n the Driving
menu, select the "
Driving
assistance " tab, then "Parking sensors ".
