Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking. It detects a parking space then
o
perates the steering to park in the space.
It
operates the steering while the driver
m
anages the accelerator, brakes, gears and
c
lutch (manual gearbox). During phases of
e
ntry into and exit from a parking space, the
s
ystem provides visual and audible information
to
the driver in order to make the manoeuvres
s
afe. It may be necessary to move for wards
a
nd backwards more than once. During
a manoeuvre the steering
w
heel turns quickly: do not hold the
s
teering wheel, do not place your hands
b
etween the spokes of the steering
w
heel and take care with loose and
b
ulky clothing, scarves, handbags...
T
here is a risk of injury.
When
Park Assist is activated, it
p
revents a change to STOP mode of
S
top & Start. In STOP mode, activation
o
f Park Assist restarts the engine.
The
Park Assist system cannot in any
c
ircumstances replace the need for
vigilance
on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control
of
their vehicle ensuring that the
s
pace remains clear throughout the
m
anoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors
may not detect small obstacles located
in
their blind spots.
The
driver can take control at any time by
g
ripping the steering wheel. The
Park Assist system provides assistance for t
he following manoeuvres:
A.
E
ntry into a parallel parking space
B.
E
xit from a parallel parking space
C.
B

par
kingThe
Park Assist system takes control
o
f the power steering for a maximum
o
f 4 manoeuvre cycles. The function
i
s deactivated after these 4 cycles.
I
f you think that your vehicle is not
p
ositioned correctly, you should then
take
control of the steering to carry out
t
he manoeuvre.
The
Park Assist system cannot work
w
ith the engine off.

should always check the s
urroundings of your vehicle before
s
tarting a manoeuvre.
The assistance is

the
steering manoeuvres
a
re no longer controlled by
t
he system: you must take
c
ontrol of the steering.
The assistance is
activated:
the display of this
s
ymbol and a speed limit
indicate
that the steering

workshop.
Operating faults
In the event of a fault with the power
steering, this warning lamp flashes in
t
he instrument panel, accompanied
by
a message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Switching off
If the lateral distance between your
vehicle and the space is too great, the s
ystem may not be able to measure the
space.
Anything
projecting beyond the envelope
o
f the vehicle (a ladder on the roof, for
example)
is not taken into account by the
P
ark Assist system during a manoeuvre.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by road
dirt,
ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
If
the
system
is
deactivated
during
a
ma
noeuvre, the drive should reactivate
it
to
repeat
the
measurement. In
the
event
of
a
fault,
this
warning
l
amp flashes for a few seconds,
accompanied
by
an
audible
signal.
If
the

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres,
once the vehicle is moving.
It
compares the information given by the four
w
heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
system triggers an alert as soon as it
d
etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or
more tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does
not replace the need for vigilance
o
n the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check
the tyre pressures (including the
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
before
a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres impairs
r
oad holding, extends braking distances
a
nd causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high
loading, high speed, long journey).
System
which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding
s
ection.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
for 1 hour or after a journey of
l
ess than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
s
peeds).
Other wise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
t
he pressures shown on the label.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
i
ncreases fuel consumption.

may
dazzle other drivers. They should
o
nly be used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, you should
switch
on the foglamps and dipped
b
eam headlamps manually, as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do
not forget to switch off the front and
r
ear foglamps when they are no longer
n
ecessary.Switching off the lighting
when switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the lamps switch off immediately, except for the d
