Thechangefromonelevelofalert
tothenexttakesplaceifthedriving
conditionsdonotchange(speed
unchanged,nochangeoflane...)
Severe weather conditions (very heavy
rain, accumulation of snow in front
of the radar) may interfere with the
operationofthesystem,resultingin
thedisplayofthemessage"SYSTEM
INACTIVE:Reducedvisibility".The
system remains unavailable until the
messagedisappears.
Ifthespeedofyourvehicleistoohigh
whenapproachinganothervehicle,the
firstlevelofalertmaynotbedisplayed:
the level 2 alert may be displayed
directly.
On the other hand, the level 1 alert
isneverdisplayedwiththetriggering
threshold3(close).
Alerts
Accordingtothecollisionriskdetectedbythe
system and the alert threshold chosen, three
levelsofalertcanbetriggered.
Level 1:visualalertonly(orange)
indicatingthatthevehicleinfrontis
veryclose.Themessage"Vehicle
close"isdisplayed.
Level 2:visual(red)andaudible
alertsindicatingthatacollisionis
imminent.Themessage"Brake!" is
displayed.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
timebetweenyourvehicleandtheoneinfront.
This level of alert is based on a time before
collision.Ittakesaccountofthevehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and
thespeedofthevehicleinfront,thedriving
conditions, the situation with your vehicle
(cornering,pedalspressed,etc.)totriggerthe
alertattherightmoment.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, you are alerted
bythedisplayoftheServicewarning
lamp,accompaniedbyamessage.
Consult a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifiedworkshop.
The operation of the radar, located in
the front bumper, may be disturbed by
accumulationsofgrime(dust,mud...)
or in certain weather conditions (snow,
ice...).
Themessage"SYSTEMINACTIVE:
Visibilityreduced"isdisplayedtosignal
that the system has been put into
standby.
Cleanthefrontbumperregularly.
