h, if you cross a lane marking, you
are alerted to this by a vibration
within the cushion of your seat:

(activated/deactivated)
remarks:
This system is designed to identify
traffic lane markings.
In certain cases it may trigger an
alert that is unnecessary, for exam-
ple if the vehicle passes over a
directional arrow or some unusual
road marking.
The system may be affected tem-
porarily by conditions external to
the vehicle:
• Detection of lane markings
made difficult by:
- Markings being worn.
- Insufficient contrast with the
general road surface.
• sensors being negated by:
- Driving in snow or heavy rain.
- Driving on roads that are
covered with mud or water
puddles.
If there is prolonged interference,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
The driver still has to
remain attentive and
in complete control of
his vehicle.
