Long-distance blind spot

monitoring

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

This system warns the driver of vehicles

approaching rapidly from the rear in adjacent

lanes (up to around 75 m) and of the presence of

a vehicle in the blind spots of their vehicle, using

corner radars located in the rear bumper.

This system takes into account vehicles

such as cars, lorries and motorcycles by

monitoring the blind spots or areas hidden

from the driver's field of vision.

132

Driving

A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the

side in question:

–

fixed

, immediately when another vehicle is in

the blind spot or is approaching in an adjacent

lane.

–

flashing

, after about 1 second when the

direction indicator is used.

Activation/Deactivation

It is configured in the

ADAS

touch screen

application.

When starting the vehicle, the warning lamp

comes on in each mirror to indicate that the

system is activated.

The status of the system is memorised when the

ignition is switched off.

The system is automatically deactivated

when towing with a towing device

approved by CITROËN.

Operating conditions

– All vehicles are moving in the same direction

and in adjacent lanes.

– When overtaking a vehicle, the speed

difference is less than 9 mph (15 km/h).

– Traffic is flowing normally.

– When overtaking a vehicle over a certain

period of time, the vehicle being overtaken

remains in the blind spot.

Operating limits

No alert is triggered in the following conditions:

– presence of stationary objects (e.g. parked

vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs).

– vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.

– if the rear bumper is damaged.

It is possible that warnings are not given,

are given too late or seem unjustified.

This system does not replace the need for

vigilance on the part of the driver. Always

check in the mirrors and look over your

shoulders before changing lanes to avoid an

accident.

If the rear bumper is to be repainted, contact

a dealer or a qualified workshop; certain types

of paint could interfere with the operation of

the radars.

Malfunction

If the event of a malfunction, this warning

lamp comes on in the instrument panel,

accompanied by the display of a message.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

The system may be temporarily disturbed

by certain weather conditions (e.g. heavy

rain, hail or extreme temperature changes).

In particular, driving on a wet road or going

from a dry to a wet area can cause false

alerts (e.g. presence of a cloud of water

droplets in the blind spot interpreted as a

vehicle).

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 in

the door mirrors, or the detection zones on

the rear bumper with adhesive labels or other

objects; they may hamper correct operation of

the system.

Parking sensors

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

133

Driving

6

This system detects and signals the proximity of

obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier)

using sensors located in the bumper.

Rear parking sensors

► Engage reverse gear to start

the system

(confirmed by an audible signal).

The system is switched off when reverse gear is

disengaged.

Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles

which are both within the sensors’ detection zone

and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of

the steering wheel.

Depending on version, in the example shown,

only the obstacles present in the shaded area

will be signalled by the audible assistance.

The proximity information is given by an

intermittent audible signal, the frequency of

which increases as the vehicle approaches the

obstacle.

When the distance between the vehicle and

the obstacle becomes less than about thirty

centimetres, the audible signal becomes

continuous.

The sound emitted by the speaker (right or

left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is

located.

Adjusting the audible signal

Pressing this button in the touch

screen opens the window for

adjusting the volume of the audible signal.

Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal, without

taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by

displaying bars on the screen that represent the

distance between the obstacle and the vehicle

(white: more distant, orange: close, red: very

close).

When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"

symbol is displayed on the screen.

Front parking sensors

Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the

front parking sensors are triggered when an

obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the

vehicle is below 6 mph (10 km/h).

Front parking sensor operation is suspended if

the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in

forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected

or the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

The sound emitted by the speaker (front

or rear) locates the obstacle relative to

the vehicle, whether in front of or behind it on

its path.

Deactivation/Activation

It is configured in the

ADAS

touch screen

application.

If the function is deactivated, this indicator

lamp lights up on the instrument panel.

The system status is saved when the ignition is

switched off.

134

respectively.

The only petrol fuel additives authorised

for use are those that meet the B715001

standard.

Travelling abroad

Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s

engine.

In certain countries, the use of a particular

fuel may be required (specific octane rating,

specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct

operation of the engine.

For all additional information, consult a dealer.

Refuelling

Fuel tank capacity: approximately 53 litres

(Petrol) or 40 litres (Rechargeable hybrid).

Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.

Low fuel level

When the low fuel level is reached, this

warning lamp lights up on the instrument

panel, accompanied by the display of a message

and an audible signal. When it first comes on,

about 6 litres

of fuel remain.

Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp

appears every time the ignition is switched on,

accompanied by the message and the audible

signal. When driving, this message and audible

signal are repeated with increasing frequency as

the fuel level drops towards

0

.

You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid

running out of fuel.

A small arrow by the warning lamp

indicates on which side of the vehicle the

fuel filler flap is located.

Stop & Start

Never refuel with the engine in STOP

mode; you must switch off the ignition.

Refuelling

Any addition of fuel must be in quantities of at

least 10 litres, in order to be registered by the

fuel gauge.

Opening the filler flap may create a noise caused

by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely

normal, resulting from the sealing of the fuel
