11 DRIVING
AIDS THAT ARE USEFUL FOR EVERYDAY USE
New C3 also promotes an easier on-board
experience. Guided by the Citroën Advanced
Comfort® programme, the
design of New C3 highlights the ergonomics of
the controls, showcasing
the cars driving information and intuitive
technologies. Inspired by
its customers and their way of experiencing
their car, New C3 makes
life easier every day thanks to its range of
comfort and safety
equipment.
New C3 offers
no
fewer than 11 driver assistance technologies
that are practical for a
hassle-free driving experience:
NEW - FRONT
PARKING
ASSIST: designed for easier urban
driving, this system includes
six front park assist sensors that are triggered
in the form of an
audible warning.
ACTIVE SAFETY
BRAKE:
this emergency braking system limits the risk of
collision. It operates
from 3mph with fixed or moving objects and with
pedestrians. If there
is no driver reaction after the collision risk
warning, the system
automatically slows the vehicle.
COFFEE BREAK
ALERT:
the system warns the driver when it is time to
take a break, after two
hours of non-stop driving at more than 40 mph.
DRIVER
ATTENTION
ALERT: this system assesses the
driver's vigilance by
identifying the trajectory deviations in
relation to the road markings.
This function is particularly suited to fast
roads at speeds above 40
mph.
INTELLIGENT
BEAM
HEADLIGHTS: this function switches
between the main beam and
dipped beam lights, depending on the traffic,
when a car is detected.
REVERSING
CAMERA
with parking sensors: when reverse gear is
engaged, this camera
displays the rear view on the main screen. The
view is accompanied by
coloured markings, which vary depending on the
proximity to an
obstacle. A real expanded view to make
manoeuvring easier.
HILL-START
ASSIST: this
assistance facilitates hill starts. This
prevents the undesired
movement of the vehicle on a slope when the
brake pedal is released and
acts on slopes greater than 3% by stabilising
the car for two seconds.
LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING: this system is used to combat
drowsiness or a simple
moment of inattention when driving at speeds
above 37mph. When the car
crosses a white line without the indicator
having been activated, the
system computer triggers an alert. The driver is
then alerted by sound
beeps and a visual alert when the line is
crossed.
BLIND SPOT
MONITORING SYSTEM: this system
indicates, via a pictogram in the
wing mirrors, the presence of a vehicle in one
of the blind spots.
Working on the same principle as rear parking
sensors, this function
represents a major safety benefit, especially on
routes like urban
motorways.
SPEED LIMIT
SIGN
RECOGNITION AND RECOMMENDATION: the
system recognises speed
limit signs and gives this information to the
driver. This speed can be
recorded as a setpoint for the cruise
control/speed limiter. It
operates over the whole speed range. The system
also detects
end-of-limit signs.
CRUISE CONTROL
/
SPEED LIMITER: the speed can be used to
set the speed
limiter/cruise control.
CONNECTIVITY
New C3
focuses on modernity and flexibility by offering
connected services with:
Connect Assist (safety and assistance), Connect
Nav (navigation) and
Connect Play (infotainment).
This package of services is part of the Citroën
Advanced Comfort®
programme, with the aim of providing access
to connected services
quickly and intuitively for the customer, while
meeting three key
requirements: optimal safety, easy navigation
and an amplified
connected experience.
CONNECT ASSIST
For the safety of the driver and passengers, New
C3 comes with Assistance
& SOS.
Automatic call or manually pressing the
"Assistance" button: if
necessary, this service allows a driver to be
put in contact with a
dedicated call centre.
Two possibilities in the event of an emergency:
In the event of an accident with activation
of airbags: an
automatic call is made to the emergency service,
informing them of the
vehicle's location.
If it is a light accident or if someone feels
unwell, the driver can
press the red "SOS" button to send a message to
the emergency service
that contains the identification of the
vehicle and its exact
location.
Connect Assist allows you to connect the brand’s
My Citroën app to the
vehicle, thus have access to
vehicle
data
such as driving range, parking location,
mileage, next service.
CONNECT NAV
New C3 highlights the technology with its 7-inch
touchscreen, incorporating
all the functions intuitively.
Located in the centre of the dashboard, this
panoramic capacitive
screen has a new ‘glossy appearance’ for a
more
technological look. The tablet features a
‘rib’ at the bottom,
which supports the hand and guarantees optimal
use.
The Connect Nav touchscreen can also be
controlled by voice
recognition and allows
customers to interact with the following areas:
Navigation, Telephone,
Radio.
TomTom® Live Traffic provides real-time
traffic information so that you can
find the best route. The
location and prices of fuel at service stations
and of car parks,
weather information and local search for points
of interest are also
shown.
Users will also appreciate the free three-year
subscription to visual
and sound reporting of speed cameras and danger
zones (according to
current legislation in the countries).
CONNECT PLAY
The Mirror Screen technology compatible with Apple
CarPlay™ and Android
Auto allows a smartphone to
be easily connected. The driver can then find
his/her multimedia
content directly and control the smartphone and
compatible apps from
the touchscreen tablet on the dashboard. In
order to guarantee driver
safety, only driving functionalities are
accessible.
New C3 has a Citroën technology combining
sharing and peace of mind:
the ConnectedCAM
Citroën®.
This perfectly integrated connected camera makes
it possible to capture
images or videos (up to 20 seconds) and post
them on social networks
via the free ConnectedCAM Citroën® app, or to
keep them for private
use. With a wide 120° angle, full HD, 2 million
pixels, GPS and 16 GB
internal memory, it can also be useful for the
driver after a road
traffic incident, to provide evidence. In the
event of an impact,
recording is automatically activated, and allows
you to save 90 seconds
of footage during the incident (30 seconds
before and 60 seconds after
contact took place).

“With the
restyling
of C3, Citroën wants to follow on the story of
its best seller. New C3
therefore had to go even further. That is what
it is done: with its
look that is even more assertive thanks to its
new front end, with the
new customisation possibilities, with its
meticulous comfort,
particularly related to its new Advanced
Comfort seats, with its
suspension that puts it in1st place in its
category, with its useful
technology on-board, New C3 will continue to
appeal to fans of the
model, and conquer new customers. "
