Blind spot monitoring system
Activation / Deactivation
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
assistance
system
warns
the
driver
o
f the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot
angle
of
their
vehicle
(areas
masked
from
t
he
driver's
field
of
vision),
as
soon
as
this
p
resents
a
potential
danger. Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor
the blind spots.
This
system
is
designed
to
improve
safety
when driving and is in no circumstances a
s
ubstitute
for
the
use
of
the
interior
rear
view
mirror and door mirrors. It is the driver's
r
esponsibility
to
constantly
check
the
traffic,
to assess the distances and relative speeds of
o
ther
vehicles
and
to
predict
their
movements before deciding whether to change lane.
The
blind
spot
monitoring
system
can
never
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the
d
river. Activation of the function is done in the touch
screen
t
ablet.
F
I
n the Driving
menu, select the " Driving
assistance " tab, then "Blind spot
monitoring ".
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument
pan
el.
The state of the system remains in memory on
switching off the ignition.
F
T
o deactivate the system, select "Blind
spot monitoring "
again in the "Driving
assistance " tab of the Driving
menu.
The
indicator lamp goes off.
The system is automatically deactivated

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,
bicycle
- is detected and the following
c
onditions are fulfilled:
-
a
ll vehicles are moving in the same
d
irection and in adjacent lanes,
-
t
he speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
87
mph (12 and 140 km/h),

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,
-
a
ctive lane departure warning.
Active blind spot
monitoring system
For more information on the Blind spot
monitoring system and the Active lane
departure warning system , refer to the

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.
