Driving
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:
- immediately, when being overtaken,
- after 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:
- all vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes,
- the 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,
- the system must be activated to trigger
a change of trajectory,
- you overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
- a vehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 16 mph (25 km/h),
- the traffic is flowing normally,
- overtaking a vehicle over a certain period
of time and the vehicle being overtaken
remains in the blind spot,
- you are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
- your vehicle is not towing a trailer, a
caravan, etc.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
