warning light CITROEN C5 AIRCROSS 2020 Handbook (in English)

164
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
c
onditions of poor visibility (inadequate
street lighting, snowfall, rain, fog),
-

d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a
damp
road, leaving a
tunnel, alternating
shade and light),
-

w
indscreen area located in front of the
camera: dirty, misted, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a


s t i c ke r,
-

l
ane markings worn, hidden (snow,
mud) or multiple (roadworks, etc.),
-

r
unning close to the vehicle in front
(the lane markings may not be
detected),
-
r

oads that are narrow, winding,
-

i
nsufficient contrast (shade, for
example) between the road and the
edges of the road.
Risk of undesirable operation
Deactivation of the system is recommended in
the following situations:
-

d
riving on a road sur face in poor condition,
-
u

nfavourable climatic conditions,
-

d
riving on slippery sur faces (ice).
Deactivation/Activation
The system is activated every time the ignition
is switched on.
F

T
o deactivate the system, press this button. Deactivation is signalled by the
lighting of the indicator lamp in
the button and this warning lamp on
the instrument panel.
Reactivation is by another press, the indicator
lamp in the button and the warning lamp switch
of f.
MalfunctionThe system is not intended for driving in the
following situations:
-

d
riving on a speed circuit,
-

d
riving with a trailer,
-

d
riving on a rolling stand,
-

d
riving on unstable sur faces. In the event of a
fault with the system, you are
alerted by the illumination of these warning
lamps in the instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a
message and an audible signal.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Active Blind Spot
Monitoring System
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Driving

165
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.
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross
a
lane marking with the direction indicator
activated, to help you avoid a
collision.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 anticipate their movements
before deciding whether to change lane.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated and
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a
towing device
approved by CITROËN.
Operation
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon
as a
vehicle – car, lorry, bicycle – is detected.
A correction of trajectory will be felt if you
attempt to cross a
lane marking with the
direction indicator flashing.
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) for the
alert and between 40
and 87 mph (65 and
140
km/h) for a correction of trajectory,
-

t
he system must be activated to trigger
a
change of trajectory,
-

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 towing a trailer, a
caravan, etc.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.

Driving

193
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
New vehicle
The first particle filter regeneration
operations may be accompanied by a
"burning" smell, which is per fectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a
leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in case
of an issue, do not hesitate to have
the system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake , refer to the corresponding
section.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a
month and before a long
j o u r n ey.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have
driven for more than 10
minutes or more
than 6

miles (10 kilometres) at over 31 mph
(50

km/h), add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values
indicated on the label.
7
Practical information

195
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators , refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
required by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6

standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a

confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a
CITROËN
dealer or a

qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after travelling a
distance
of 685

miles (1,100 km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a
heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue
driving in very cold conditions.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped
up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating
that the reser ve level has been reached.
In order to ensure that the SCR system
operates correctly:
-

U

se only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the
ISO
22241
standard.
-

N

ever transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
-

N

ever dilute AdBlue
® with water.
You can obtain AdBlue
® from a CITROËN
d
ealer or a

qualified workshop.
You can also visit a

ser vice station equipped
with AdBlue
® pumps specially designed for
passenger vehicles.
Recommendations on
storage
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out at room temperature.
Never keep bottles or containers of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This liquid
is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(when kept in a
cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and water. In the event
of contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate) the
eyes with large amounts of water or with an eye
wash solution for at least 15
minutes. If you feel
a

persistent burning sensation or irritation, get
medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (at high temperature,
for example), the risk of release of ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale the vapour.
Ammonia has an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
AdBlue
® freezes below about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It should be stored in
a

cool place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a
year.
