However, with the "Blind spot monitoring system"   activated,   if   the   driver   starts   changing  
l

ane and another vehicle is detected in the
vehicle's
  blind   spot,   the   system   will   correct  
t

he   trajectory   of   the   vehicle   even   though   the  
d

irection   indicators   are   on.
For more information on the Blind spot
monitoring system ,
  refer   to   the   corresponding  
s

ection. If the system detects that the driver is
not
  holding   the   wheel   firmly   enough  
d

uring   an   automatic   correction   of  
t

rajectory,   it   interrupts   the   correction.  
A

n   alert   is   triggered   to   encourage  
t

he   driver   to   take   back   control   of   the  
v

ehicle.
Activation / Deactivation
Activation / deactivation of the system is done i

In the event of a fault, this warning lamp flashes for a few moments in
the instrument panel, accompanied
by
  a   message.
Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified w orkshop. The system may suffer temporary
interference 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
the sensors are not covered by mud, ice
or
  snow.
Take
  care   not   to   cover   the   warning   zone  
i

n the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with
  adhesive   labels   or   other   objects;  
t

hey may hamper the correct operation
of
  the   system.
High pressure jet wash
When
  washing   your   vehicle,   direct   the  
l

ance   at   least   30   cm   away   from   the  
sen

sors.In
  addition   to   the   fixed   warning   lamp   in   the   door  
m

irror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory   will   be   felt   if   you   cross   a   lane   marking  w
ith the direction indicators on, to help you
avoid   a   collision.
Conditions for operation
The following systems must be activated:
-  b lind   spot   monitoring,
-

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

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

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

they
  are   located   in   blind   spots   in   the   sensors'

Parking sensors
This system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance   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
of   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   left)
 i

ndicates   the   side   on   which   the   obstacle   is   located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the
  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

"

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,
