EnglishDriving -> Active Blind Spot Monitoring System for your Citroen C5 Aircross 2017-2025
Driving
The following situations may interfere with
The system is not intended for driving in the
following situations:
Malfunction
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
-
-
-
driving on a speed circuit,
driving with a trailer,
driving on a rolling stand,
driving on unstable surfaces.
-
conditions of poor visibility (inadequate
street lighting, snowfall, rain, fog),
dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light),
-
In the event of a fault with the system, you are
alerted by the illumination of these warning
lamps in the instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an audible signal.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Deactivation/Activation
The system is activated every time the ignition
is switched on.
-
windscreen area located in front of the
camera: dirty, misted, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a sticker,
-
-
lane markings worn, hidden (snow,
mud) or multiple (roadworks, etc.),
running close to the vehicle in front
(the lane markings may not be
detected),
Active Blind Spot
Monitoring System
-
-
roads that are narrow, winding,
insufficient contrast (shade, for
example) between the road and the
edges of the road.
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
F To deactivate the system, press this button.
Deactivation is signalled by the
lighting of the indicator lamp in
the button and this warning lamp on
the instrument panel.
Risk of undesirable operation
Deactivation of the system is recommended in
the following situations:
Reactivation is by another press, the indicator
lamp in the button and the warning lamp switch
off.
-
-
-
driving on a road surface in poor condition,
unfavourable climatic conditions,
driving on slippery surfaces (ice).

Driving
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon
as a vehicle – car, lorry, bicycle – is detected.
A correction of trajectory will be felt if you
attempt to cross a lane marking with the
direction indicator flashing.
This system warns the driver of the presence
of another vehicle in the blind spots of their
vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field
of vision), as soon as this presents a potential
danger.
This driving aid system is designed to
improve safety when driving and is in no
circumstances a substitute for the use
of the interior rear view mirror and door
mirrors. 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 deciding whether to change lane.
The following conditions must be met for this:
-
-
all vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes,
the speed of the vehicle must be between
7 and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h) for the
alert and between 40 and 87 mph (65 and
140 km/h) for a correction of trajectory,
the system must be activated to trigger
a change of trajectory,
you overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
a vehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 16 mph (25 km/h),
the traffic is flowing normally,
Activation/Deactivation
-
-
-
A fixed warning lamp appears in the door mirror
on the side in question:
The function is activated and
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
-
-
immediately, when being overtaken,
after a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when switching off the ignition.
-
-
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross
a lane marking with the direction indicator
activated, to help you avoid a collision.
6
overtaking a vehicle over a certain period
of time and the vehicle being overtaken
remains in the blind spot,
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towing device
approved by CITROËN.
-
-
you are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
your vehicle is not towing a trailer, a
caravan, etc.
Operation
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
165
Driving
-
-
in the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs, etc.),
with vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
driving on a winding road or a sharp corner,
when overtaking or being overtaken by
a very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) which is
both in the rear blind spot and present in the
driver's front field of vision,
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet surface
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example,
the presence of a fog of water droplets
in the blind spot angle is interpreted as
a vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on
the front and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may hamper
the correct operation of the system.
-
-
-
-
when overtaking quickly,
in very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry or
a stationary object,
-
if the Park Assist function is activated.
Malfunction
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towing device
approved by CITROËN.
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accompanied by the
display of a message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
No alert will be given and no correction will be
made in the following situations:
166
Driving
Audible assistance
Visual assistance
Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
The function signals the presence of obstacles
present within the vehicle sensors' detection
zone.
It supplements the audible signal by displaying
bars on the screen that move progressively
nearer to the vehicle (white: more distant
obstacles; orange: close obstacles; red: very
close obstacles).
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
allows you to identify the side on which the
obstacle is located.
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
Front parking sensors
6
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Rear parking sensors
Adjusting the audible signal
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear.
On versions equipped with
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
CITROËN Connect Radio, pressing
this button opens the audible signal
volume adjustment window.
