This action erases all data recorded in the

camera and reinitialises the camera's default

pairing code.

If you switch the camera off manually, it will

remain off even after the vehicle is restarted

and will have to be switched on manually.

Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in

any circumstances, replace the need for

vigilance on the part of the driver.

The driver must comply with the Highway

Code, must remain in control of the

vehicle in all circumstances and must be

able to retake control of it at all times. The

driver must adapt the speed to climactic

conditions, traffic and the state of the

road.

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

indicating and changing lane.

Managing photos and videos

For safety reasons, the driver must not

use the CITROËN ConnectedCAM^®

application from a smartphone while

driving. He or she must perform any action

requiring sustained attention when the

vehicle is stationary.

F Press this button briefly to take

a photo.

An audible signal confirms that the request has

been acknowledged.

F Press and hold this button to

record a video.

Operating fault

The systems cannot exceed the limits of

the laws of physics.

A micro USB port also allows the data from the

camera to be saved onto other media such as

computers, tablets, etc.

When a system fault occurs, the

indicator lamp in the button flashes.

Thanks to the "CITROËN ConnectedCAM^®"

application, you can then automatically and

immediately share your photos and videos on

social networks or by email.

An audible signal confirms that the request has

been acknowledged.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or by

a qualified workshop.

Driving aids

You should hold the steering wheel with

both hands, always use the interior and

exterior rear view mirrors, always keep

your feet close to the pedals and take

a break every two hours.

Manoeuvring aids

Other cameras

The driver must always check the

surroundings of the vehicle before and

during the whole manoeuvre, in particular

using the mirrors.

The images from the camera(s) displayed

on the touch screen or on the instrument

panel may be distorted by the relief.

In the presence of areas in shade, or in

conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate

lighting, the image may be darkened and

with lower contrast.

Driving aids camera

Radar

This camera and its associated functions

may be impaired if the windscreen area in

front of the camera is dirty, misty, frosty,

covered with snow, damaged or masked

by a sticker.

On versions with camera alone, this

message indicates to you that the camera

is obstructed: "Driving aids camera:

Visibility limited, see user guide".

In humid and cold weather, demist the

windscreen regularly.

Obstacles may appear further away than

they actually are.

The operation of the radar as well as the

associated functions may be impaired

through the accumulation of dirt (mud,

frost, etc.), in certain difficult weather

conditions (very heavy rain, snow) or if the

bumper is damaged.

If the front bumper is to be repainted,

contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop; certain types of paint could

interfere with the operation of the radar.

Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,

heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle

(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low

sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving

a tunnel, alternating shade and light) can

also impair detection performance.

Sensors

Maintenance

Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and

the field of vision of the cameras regularly.

When washing your vehicle at high

pressure, direct the spray from at least

30 cm away from the radar, sensors and

cameras.

and recommendation

Refer to the General recommendations on

the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

The operation of the sensors as well as

the associated functions may be disturbed

by sound interference such as those

emitted by noisy vehicles and machinery

(e.g. lorries, pneumatic drills), by the

accumulation of snow or dead leaves

on the road or in the event of damaged

bumpers and mirrors.

A front or rear impact to the vehicle can

upset the sensors' settings, which is not

always detected by the system: distance

measurements may be distorted.

Mats

The use of mats not approved by

CITROËN may interfere with the operation

of the speed limiter or cruise control.

To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:

F ensure that the mat is secured

correctly,

This system displays the maximum authorised

speed in the instrument panel, according to

the speed limits in the country in which you are

driving, using:

F never fit one mat on top of another.

Speed limit signs detected by the camera.

Speed limit details from the navigation

system mapping.

The sensors do not detect obstacles that

are too low (pavements, studs) or too thin

(trees, posts, wire fences).

Units of speed

Ensure that the units of speed displayed

on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are

those for the country you are driving in.

If this is not the case, when the vehicle is

stationary, set the display to the required

units of speed so that it complies with

what is authorised locally.

Certain obstacles located in the sensors'

blind spots may not be detected or may no

longer be detected during the manoeuvre.

Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound

waves: pedestrians may not be detected.

You should update your navigation

mapping regularly in order to receive

accurate speed limit information from the

system.

In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.
