If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-
e
ngine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15


minutes,
-

t
he ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is open.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 40
mph (65 km/h), the system goes
into standby.
The driving time is counted again once the
speed is above 40
mph (65 km/h).
Driver inattention alert
Depending on version, the "Driving time
warning" may be combined with the "Driver
inattention alert". Using a camera placed at the top
of the windscreen, the system
assesses the driver's level of
vigilance by identifying variations
in trajectory compared to the lane
markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h)).
When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain fatigue or
inattention threshold on the part of the driver, it
triggers the first level 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
sur face or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's
level of vigilance.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting of
the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),
-
d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-
w
indscreen area located in front of the
camera: dirty, misted up, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a s t i c ke r,
-

l
ane markings absent, worn, masked
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,
e t c .),
-

c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-

r
oads that are narrow, winding, etc.

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.

neutral product,
F

w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.
Changing a bulb should only be done after
the headlamp has been switched off for
several minutes (risk of serious burns).
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet

headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification. Light emitting diodes (LED)
For the replacement of this type of bulb,
you must contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
