Visual assistance







Front parking sensors


Deactivation / Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button
goes off.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button
comes on.



Operating fault

The front parking sensors are triggered when
an obstacle is detected in front, a gear is
engaged (position D for vehicles with a CVT
gearbox) and the speed of the vehicle remains
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than five seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).




Remember to deactivate the system if
towing a trailer or caravan.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sound
sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, etc.) may trigger the audible
signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event of an problem, when reverse gear
is engaged this lamp in the button flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal. This supplements the audible
signal by displaying bars in the
screen, in front of or behind the
vehicle. If one of the sensors is faulty, it
flashes in the instrument panel
screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. These bars flash at the start of the manoeuvre
then become fixed from a certain distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle.

Practical information





Towing a trailer, a caravan...

We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that
it is fitted following the manufacturer's
instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle
to more significant stress and its driver must be
particularly careful.

Practical information





Fitting roof bars

The transverse roof bars are fitted to the longitudinal bars at the 8 fixing points masked by covers.
Using a small screwdriver, remove the 8 covers on the inner faces of the longitudinal bars.
The transverse bars are fitted directly to the roof of the vehicle, at the 4 anchorage points masked
by covers.
Slide the covers towards the front of the vehicle to remove them.
Retain the protective covers.
After removing the roof bars, the protective covers should be refitted:


)
insert the fixing tongues into the apertures then slide the covers towards the rear of the vehicle.


The body sill finishers should not be
used as a step when fitting roof bars.

Use accessories recommended by
CITROËN and follow the accessory
manufacturer's fitting instructions.
Maximum authorised weight on the roof
bars, for a loading height not exceeding
40 cm (except bicycle carriers): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the condition of
the road, to avoid damaging the roof
bars and the fixings on the roof.
Please refer to national legislation to
comply with the regulations regarding
the transportation of objects which are
longer than the vehicle.
For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use transverse bars that are
approved for your vehicle.
