LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM
This driving assistance device warns you when you unwittingly cross a lane marking (either a continuous or a dotted line on the road surface). It
is designed for use on motorways and dual carriageways, operating only
above speeds of approx.80 km/h (50 mph).
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
A press on button 1activates the function, the warning lamp on the button lights up.
A second press on button 1 deactivates the function, the warning lamp on
the button goes out.
When you start the engine, the mode (activated/deactivated) selected when you stopped the engine is retained.
OPERATION
Above a speed of around 80 km/h (50 mph), if you cross a lane marking, you are alerted to this by a vibration within
the cushion of your seat:On the right hand side if you cross a lane marking to the right.
On the left hand side if you cross a lane marking to the left.
The system does not alert you if one of your direction indicators is operating and for approx. 20 seconds after the
direction indicator has stopped.
Remarks
This system is designed to identify traffi c lane markings.
In certain cases it ma
y trigger an alert that is unnecessary, for example if the vehicle passes over a directional arrow
or some unusual road marking.
The system may be affected temporarily by conditions external to the vehicle:Detection of lane markings made diffi cult by:
Markings being worn.Insuffi cient contrast with the general road surface.Sensors being negated by:
Driving in snow or heavy rain.Driving on roads that are covered with mud or water puddles.
In the event of prolonged disturbed operation, contact aCITROÀN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.pg p

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER SYSTEM
In addition to the catalytic converter, this fi lter contributes actively to the preserving of air quality, by collecting thepolluting particles that have not been burnt off. Black exhaust fumes are thus eliminated.
Simultaneous lighting of the SERVICEand depollution system warning lamps indicates an
increased risk of clogging.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop as soon as possible.
DIESEL ADDITIVE LEVEL
If the additive level is low, it is necessary to top up the additive level.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop as soon as possible.
CLOGGING OF THE PARTICLE FILTER
Clogging is caused by the particle fi lter starting to be saturated (owing to exceptionally long periodsspent driving in urban conditions: low speeds, traffi c jams, etc.).
In order to re
generate the fi lter you are advised to drive as soon as possible, when traffi c conditions allow, at a speedof 60 km/h (37 mph) or more for at least 5 minutes. If the problem persists, contact a CITROÀN dealer or a qualifi edgyp,,p
workshop.Note: If the vehicle has been running for long periods at very low speeds or at idle, vapour emissions may be seencoming from the exhaust under acceleration. These have no consequences for the running of the vehicle or for theenvironment.
