ollowing impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera. The system is automatically deactivated
after the use of the "space-saver" type
spare wheel is detected, or if a
fault with
the lateral brake lamps is detected.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay in control of
your vehicle and be prepared to react at
any time to avoid an accident.
After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.

retouched, contact a
CITROËN dealer
or a
qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could inter fere with the operation of
the radar.
Collision Risk Alert
It warns the driver if their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian
present in their traffic lane.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish
to be alerted of the presence of a moving
or stationary vehicle in front of you, or
a
pedestrian present in your traffic lane.
The current threshold can only be
modified via the touch screen's
Driving menu.
You can select one of three predefined
thresholds:
-
"Distant ",
-
"Normal ",
-
"Close ".
The last threshold selected is kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, different levels of
alert can be triggered and displayed in the
instrument panel.
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
conceal the detection camera.
Clean the front bumper, especially around
the radar, removing mud, snow, etc.

If the driver wishes to maintain the
trajectory of the vehicle, they can prevent
the correction by keeping a firm grip on
the wheel (during an avoiding manoeuvre,
for example).
The correction is interrupted if the
direction indicators are operated.
While the direction indicators are on and for
a

few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that any change of trajectory
is voluntary and no correction is triggered
during this period.
However, with the Blind Spot Detection system
activated, if the driver starts changing lanes
and another vehicle is detected in the vehicle's
blind spot, the system will correct the trajectory
of the vehicle even though the direction
indicators are on.
For more information on the Blind Spot
Detection , refer to the corresponding section. If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough during
an automatic correction of trajectory,
it interrupts the correction. An alert is
triggered to encourage the driver to take
back control of the vehicle.

Blind Spot Detection
This system warns the driver of the presence
of another vehicle in the blind spots of their
vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field
of vision), as soon as this presents a potential
danger.
A fixed 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
relative distances and 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 need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated and
deactivated in the Driving menu of
the touch screen.
When the function is activated,
this indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
The state of the system stays in memory when
switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a
towing device
approved by CITROËN.
Operation
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp
coming on in the relevant door mirror, 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 the vehicle must be between
7
and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-

y
ou overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6
mph (10 km/h),
-

a v
ehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 16
mph (25 km/h),
-

t
he traffic is flowing normally,
-

ov
ertaking a vehicle over a certain period
of time and the vehicle being overtaken
remains in the blind spot,
-

y
ou are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-

y
our vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a
caravan, etc.

Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the
s ystem, 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 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.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, keep the
nozzle at a
minimum distance of 12 inches
(30
cm) from the sensors.
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.), -

w

ith vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
-

d

riving on a winding road or a sharp corner,
-

w

hen overtaking or being overtaken by
a

very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) which
is both detected in the rear blind spot and
present in the driver's front field of vision,
-

w

hen overtaking quickly,
-

i

n very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry or
a


stationary object,
-

f the Park Assist function is activated.
Driving

177
This function is a manoeuvring aid which
c annot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain attentive and stay
in control of their vehicle.
They must always check the vehicle's
surroundings before undertaking
a


manoeuvre.
During the entire manoeuvre, the driver
must ensure that the space remains clear.
Rear parking sensors
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 information on proximity is given by an
intermittent sound signal, the succession of
which becomes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
indicates which side the obstacle is on.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Visual assistance
It supplements the audible signal by displaying
bars on the screen that move progressively
nearer to the vehicle (white: more distant
obstacles; orange: close obstacles; red: very
close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle remains below 6
mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in
front or behind.
Deactivation/Activation
The function is deactivated and
activated in the Driving menu of the
touch screen.
This warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel when the function
is deactivated.
A new selection reactivates the
function.
The state of the function stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.

The reversing camera function may be
supplemented with parking sensors.
The reversing camera cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
They are represented by lines marked
"on the ground" and do not allow you to
determine the position of tall obstacles (for
example: other vehicles, etc.) relative to
the vehicle.
Some distortion of the image is normal.
It is normal to have a part of the number
plate showing in the bottom of the screen. The blue lines 1
represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the gap represents the width of
your vehicle except for the door mirrors).
The red line 2 represents a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines 3 represent distances of about
one and two metres beyond the edge of your
vehicle's rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves 4 represent the
maximum turning circle.
Opening the tailgate causes the display to
disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not direct
the lance from less than 30 cm from the
lens of the camera.
Depending on version, the image is displayed
on the touch screen or the instrument panel.
The representation with overlaid lines helps the
manoeuvre.
Vision 360
This system allows the near surroundings of
the vehicle to be viewed in the instrument panel
using cameras.
They are situated at the front and rear of the
vehicle, as well as under the door mirrors.
Depending on the angle of view chosen (front
view, rear view or 360° panoramic view), the
Vision 360
system provides a specific visual aid
in particular driving conditions, such as when
entering a
blind crossroads or manoeuvring in
areas with reduced visibility.
Once activated, this function is operational up
to 9
mph (15 km/h). Above 19 mph (30 km/h),
the system deactivates automatically.

This system is a visual aid that cannot in
a ny circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The images provided by the camera(s)
may be distorted by the relief. The
presence of areas in shadow, bright
sunlight, or poor lighting conditions may
make the image dark and reduce contrast.
Forward vision
The camera situated on the front bumper is
activated and the views of the area to the
front left and the area to the front right of your
vehicle appear simultaneously in the instrument
panel.
Rear vision
The camera situated on the tailgate is activated
and the view of the area behind your vehicle is
displayed in the instrument panel and behaves
as a
reversing camera, regardless of the
position of the gear selector.
The blue outline represents the width of
your vehicle (without mirrors): its orientation
depends on the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents the distance of 30 cm)
from the rear bumper and the two green lines
the distances of 1 m and 2 m respectively from
the rear bumper.
The rear vision is displayed automatically
when reverse gear is engaged, regardless
of the state of the system.
Vision 360
The cameras situated on the front and rear
bumpers as well as those below the door
mirrors activate and a view from above of your
vehicle in its close environment is generated
and is displayed in the instrument panel.
Opening a door or the tailgate will disrupt the
3 60 and rear views.
Installation of the very cold climate screen will
alter the image transmitted by the front camera.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking: it detects a
parking space then
operates the steering system to park in this
space.
With a
manual gearbox , the driver manages
the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch.
With an automatic gearbox (EAT6/EAT8) , the
driver manages the accelerator, brakes and
gears.
During phases of entry into and exit from
a
parking space, the system provides visual
and audible information to the driver in order
to make the manoeuvres safe. It may be
necessary to move for wards and backwards
more than once. The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.
This manoeuvring assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle ensuring that the space remains
clear throughout the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
The Park Assist system cannot work with
the engine off.
