Lane Departure Warning System - CITROËN C3 Handbook

Lane Departure Warning System

System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane
markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops
and the speed is higher than 37 mph (60 km/h),
triggers a warning if there is an unexpected
change of direction.
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.
This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Activation / Deactivation
Activation and deactivation of the
function is done by pressing this
button.
The indicator lamp in the button indicates the
status of the function:
- On: the function is activated.
- Off: the function is deactivated.
The status of the system remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Detection
If an unexpected change of direction
is detected, you are alerted by
this warning lamp flashing in the
instrument panel and an audible
signal.
No warning is transmitted if a direction indicator
is active and for approximately 20 seconds
after the direction indicator is switched off.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, this
warning lamp flashes for approximately
10 seconds then switches off.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The detection may be impeded:
- if the markings on the ground are
worn,
- if there is little contrast between the
markings on the ground and the
road surface,
- if the windscreen is dirty,
- in certain weather conditions: fog,
heavy rain, snow, shade, bright
sunlight or direct exposure to the
sun (low sun, leaving a tunnel, etc.).
