Lane Departure Warning
System
System which uses a camera to recognise solid
or broken lines and detects the involuntary
crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on
the road.
The camera analyses the image then, if the
driver's attention drops and the speed is higher
than 37 mph (60 km/h), triggers a warning if
there is an unexpected change of direction.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the driver’s
own vigilance.
Manual deactivation/
reactivation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start-up.
The function is deactivated by a long
press on this button.
The indicator lamp for the button indicates the
status of the function:
-

O
ff: the function is activated.
-

O
n: the function is deactivated.
The status of the system remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Detection
You are alerted by the flashing of
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible
signal.
No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is active.
Malfunction
The flashing and then constant illumination of
the warning lamp accompanied by illumination
of the Ser vice warning lamp indicates a fault in
the system.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Detection may be impeded:
-

i
f the road markings are worn,
-

i
f there is little contrast between the
road markings and the road surface,
-

i
f the windscreen is dirty,
-

i
n certain weather conditions: fog,
heavy rain, snow, shade, bright
sunlight or direct exposure to the sun
(low sun, leaving a tunnel, etc.).
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
mask the camera's view.

Blind spot monitoring
This system warns the driver of the presence of
another vehicle in the blind spot angle of their
vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field
of vision), as soon as this presents a potential
danger.
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
i

mmediately, when being overtaken,
-

a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly. This driving aid system is designed to
improve safety when driving and is in no
circumstances a substitute for the use
of the interior rear view mirror and door
mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility to
constantly check the traffic, to assess the
distances and relative speeds of other
vehicles and to predict their movements
before deciding whether to change lane.
This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the driver’s
own vigilance.
Activation/Deactivation
The system can be activated or deactivated
from the vehicle configuration menu.
F

I
n the Driving/Vehicle menu,
select the " Vehicle settings "
tab, then " Security" and

instrument panel.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The status of the system remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off. The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
CITROËN.
Operation
The alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle – car, lorry, cycle
– is detected.
The following conditions must be met for this:
-

a
ll vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes,
-

t
he speed of your vehicle must be between
7 and 87
mph (12 and 140 km/h),

No alert will be given in the following situations:
- i n the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs, etc.),
-
on

coming traffic,
-

d
riving on a winding road or a sharp corner, -

w
hen overtaking or being overtaken by a
very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) that is
detected in the rear blind spot but is also
present in the driver’s front field of vision,
-

front and behind are confused with a lorry or
a stationary object.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the
system, this warning lamp flashes
for a few moments in the instrument
panel, accompanied by the Ser vice
warning lamp coming on and the
display of a message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face or
the transition from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (e.g. the presence
of a cloud of water droplets in the blind
spot is interpreted as a vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on
the front and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may hamper
the correct operation of the system.

Malfunctions
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp
comes on accompanied by a
message and an audible signal.
In the event of a fault with the
power steering, this warning lamp
flashes in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle
and the space is too great, the system may
not be able to measure the space.
Any object projecting beyond the dimensions
of the vehicle (e.g. a ladder on the roof or a
towball) will not be taken into account by the
Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by road dirt,
ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, keep the lance at
least 12 inches (30
cm) away from the sensors.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised ever y time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres. The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.

When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message.
When it first comes on, about 5


litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
This warning lamp will come on every time
the ignition is switched on, accompanied
by a message and an audible signal, until
a sufficient addition of fuel is made. This
audible signal and message are repeated with
increasing frequency as the fuel level drops
and approaches " 0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out.
For more information on Running out of
fuel (Diesel) , refer to the corresponding
section.
Refilling
A self-adhesive label on the inner face of the
filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5
litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. The fluid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine. Take care when working under the bonnet,
as certain areas of the engine may be
extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop and dispose of
it in the containers reser ved for this
purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick. To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine having been off for more
than 30


minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
