Pressing and holding these two buttons
simultaneously resets the system.
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.

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.

Speed Limit recognition
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.

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.
