C4 and ë-C4 are adopting the latest-generation My Citroën Drive Plus infotainment system, which replaces the My Citroën Drive connected navigation system. This new, highly intuitive interface uses a 10? HD screen and can be fully customised by customers through its “widget” system. Popularised by touchscreen smartphones and tablets, widgets provide a quick way to view applications and content on the vehicle’s touchscreen. They therefore provide greater peace of mind by being easier to see for the user. In addition to the use of these widgets, the whole presentation of the touchscreen is evolving towards greater quality and graphic richness, particularly with regard to the 3D connected navigation map, which is now displayed in 16:9 aspect ratio. In addition, the interface has been made more fluid and responsive and favours shortcuts for even greater ease and an intuitive experience.
The new interface also features natural voice recognition, a digital assistant that can be “activated” by vehicle occupants with the “Hello Citroën” command, and which understands what they say, answers their questions and carries out their voice commands. The system is capable of understanding 20 languages, providing visual feedback and responding to many commands for the vehicle’s in-car systems such as climate control, audio media, telephone and connected voice services.
No more cables strewn about the passenger compartment, thanks to wireless mirroring of your smartphone on the 10? HD tablet. My Citroën Drive Plus allows drivers and passengers to enjoy their favourite smartphone applications without taking unnecessary risks. The service offers wireless connectivity and is compatible with Apple CarPlay (including SIRI voice control) and Android Auto. Compatible applications are displayed directly on the central interface screen, allowing safe access without taking your eyes off the road.
This system is customisable and scalable. With Advanced Profile Management, the system can store up to 8 profiles, each of which can be associated with two smartphones, which it will identify when these devices enter the car. The system also includes a real-time map update service via TomTom, whereby navigation maps are automatically updated every month to ensure that the system is up to date and provides the most up-to-date information to users. This service is provided free of charge for three years. In general, this system will also be simple to update “over the air”.
