Citroen C3: Driving / Lane Departure Warning System
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system, using a camera which recognises
solid or broken lines, detects the involuntary
crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on
the ground.
If the driver's attention drops and the speed
is higher than 37 mph (60 km/h), the system
triggers a warning if there is an unexpected
change of direction.
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.
Activation/Deactivation
- Activation/deactivation via this button or the
touch screen, depending on version.
The indicator lamp comes on when the function
is activated.
The state of the system is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
Detection
If an unexpected change of
direction is
detected, this warning lamp flashes in the
instrument panel accompanied by an audible
signal.
No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is activated and for approximately 20
seconds after the direction indicator is switched
off.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction,
this warning
lamp flashes on the instrument panel for
about 10 seconds then goes out.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Take a break in case of feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Depending on version, the function consists of
just the "Coffee Break Alert" system, or of this
combined with the "Driver Attention Warning"
system...
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system includes sensors, placed on the
sides of the bumpers, and warns the driver of
the potentially dangerous presence of another
vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle) in the blind spot
areas of their vehicle (areas hidden from the
driver's field of vision)...
Other information:
In wintry conditions,
remove snow, ice or
frost present on the windscreen, around
the wiper arms and blades and on the
windscreen seal, before operating the wipers.
Do not operate the wipers
on a dry
windscreen. Under extremely hot or cold
conditions, ensure that the wiper blades are
not stuck to the windscreen before operating
the wipers...
In some weather conditions
(e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
The headlamps have
polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products...
