Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified w orkshop. The
  system   may   suffer   temporary  
i

nterference in certain weather
conditions   (rain,   hail...).
In   particular,   driving   on   a   wet   sur face  o

ehicle).
In
  bad   or   wintry   weather,   ensure   that  
t

he   sensors   are   not   covered   by   mud,   ice  
o

r   snow.
Take
  care   not   to   cover   the   warning   zone  
i

n   the   door   mirrors   or   the   detection  
z

ones   on   the   front   and   rear   bumpers  
w

ith   adhesive   labels   or   other   objects;

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  
a

lert   is   repeated   hourly   until   the   vehicle   is  
s

topped.
The
 
system
 
cannot
 
in
 
any
 
c

ircumstances
 
replace
 
the
 
need
 
for
 
v

igilance
 
on
 
the
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
driver.
Do
 
not
 
take
 
the
 
wheel
 
if
 
you
 
are
 
tired. As
  soon   as   the   speed   of   the   vehicle  
d

rops   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

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  o
f   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  
s

ignal.
After
  three   first   level   alerts,   the   system   triggers  
a

  new   alert   with   the   message   "Take a break! ",
accompanied
  by   a   more   pronounced   audible  
s

ignal. 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  
i

t   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

f   the   camera:   dirty,   misted,   frost-
covered,

185
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

oadworks   cone)   detected   initially   will   no   longer  
b

e   detected   at   the   end   of   the   manoeuvre,   if  
t

hey   are   located   in   blind   spots   in   the   sensors'

etection.
Parking sensors
This system cannot in any circumstances   replace   the   need   for  
v

igilance   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  
o

f   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  
l

eft)   indicates   the   side   on   which   the   obstacle   is  
l

ocated.
When
  the   distance   between   the   vehicle   and  
t

he   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  
t

he   vehicle.   When   the   obstacle   is   near,   the  
"

Danger"   symbol   is   displayed.

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or   rear)   indicates   whether   the   obstacle  
i

s   in   front   or   behind. The
  system   will   be   deactivated  a
utomatically   if   a   trailer   is   being  
t

a

  towbar   (vehicle   fitted   with   a   towbar  
i

nstalled   in   line   with   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations).In
  bad   weather   or   in   winter,   ensure  t
hat   the   sensors   are   not   covered   with  
m

ud,   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,  
l

orry,   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

360 Vision
This system provides a view in the instrument panel   of   the   near   surroundings   of   your   vehicle,  
u

sing   cameras   mounted   at   the   front   and   rear   of  
y

our   vehicle   and   under   the   door   mirrors.
Depending
  on   the   angle   of   view   chosen   (front  
v

iew,   rear   view   or   360°   panoramic   view),  
3

60 Vision   provides   special   visual   assistance  
i

n   particular   driving   conditions   such   as   when  
e

ntering   a   blind   junction   or   manoeuvring   in  
a

reas   of   reduced   visibility.
Once
  activated,   this   function   operates   up   to  
9 m

ph   (15   km/h).   Above   18   mph   (30   km/h),   the  
f

unction   is   deactivated   automatically. This
  system   is   a   visual   aid   which   in   no  
c

ircumstances   can   replace   the   need   for  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.

m

ay   be   deformed   by   the   relief.   The  
p

resence   of   areas   in   shade,   in   sunny  
c

onditions,   or   of   low   ambient   light   may
