LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM
System which detects the involun-
tary crossing of longitudinal trafﬁ c
lane markings on the ground (solid
or broken line).
Sensors, ﬁ tted below the front bum-
per, trigger a warning if the vehicle
drifts over a lane marking (speed
higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on
motorways and main roads.
Activation

 Press button A , the indicator
lamp comes on.
Deactivation

 Press button A again, the indica-
tor lamp switches off.
The status of the system remains
in the memory when the ignition is
switched off. Detection
You are warned by the vibration of
the driver's seat cushion:
- on the right-hand side, if the
marking on the ground has been
crossed on the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the mark- ing on the ground has been
crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for
approximately 20 seconds after the
direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direc-
tion marking (e.g. arrow) or non-stan-
dard marking (e.g. grafﬁ ti) is crossed. Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction, the
service warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
screen.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The lane departure warning sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
The detection may be impeded:
- if the sensors are dirty (mud, snow...),
- if the markings on the ground are worn,
- if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and
the road surface.

PARKING SPACE SENSOR
System which measures the park-
ing space available between two
vehicles or obstacles. It measures
the size of the space and gives you
information on:
- the possibility of ﬁ tting into a free space, depending on the
dimensions of your vehicle and
the distances necessary for your
manoeuvring,
- the level of difﬁ culty of the ma- noeuvre to be performed.
The system does not measure spac-
es which are clearly much smaller or
larger than the size of the vehicle. Displays on the instrument
panel
The parking space sensor function
warning lamp can have three differ-
ent states:
-
off: the function is not selected,
- on ﬁ xed: the function is selected
but the conditions for measuring
are not yet met (direction indicator
not operating, speed too high) or
the measurement is terminated.
- ﬂ ashing: measurement is in
progress or the message is be-
ing displayed. You can select the "parking space
sensor" function by pressing but-
ton
A. The ﬁ xed lighting of the warn-
ing lamp indicates that the function
is selected.
During the measurement, the mes-
sage "Measurement in progress -
Vmax 20 km/h (12 mph)" is displayed
on the instrument panel screen.

Operation
You have identiﬁ ed a parking space:

 Press button A to select the func-
tion.

 Activate the direction indicator
on the side where the space is to
be measured.

 During measurement, go for-
ward the length of the space, at
a speed less than 12 mph (ap-
prox. 20 km/h), to prepare for
your manoeuvre.
The system then measures the size
of the space.

 The system informs you of the
level of difﬁ culty of the manoeu-
vre via a message on the instru-
ment panel screen accompanied
by a gong.

 Depending on the message is-
sued by the system, you may or
may not be able to perform the
manoeuvre. The function displays the following
types of message:

Parking YES

Parking difﬁ cult

Parking NO The function deselects itself auto-
matically:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measurement is not requested,
- within ﬁ ve minutes of selection of
the function,
- if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold of 45 mph (approx. 70 km/h)
for one minute.
If the lateral distance between your
vehicle and the parking space is too
large, the system may not be able to
measure the space.
The function remains available after
each measurement and thus can
measure more than one space du-
ring your search.
In bad weather conditions or in
winter, make sure that the sensors
are not covered by dirt, or by ice or
snow.
The parking space sensor function
deactivates the front parking assis-
tance during space measurement
when you are in forward gear.
If there is a malfunction, have the
system checked by a CITROËN
dealer.

D R I V I N G The parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, re-
place the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT AND/OR REAR PARKING SENSORS
System consisting of proximity sen-
sors, installed in the front and/or rear
bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, ve-
hicle, tree, barrier...) located in front
of or behind the vehicle, however, it
will not be able to detect obstacles
located immediately below the bum-
per.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the start of
the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
nearer to it.
The parking assistance is
switched on :
- by engaging reverse gear,
- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h)
in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and/or displaying of the vehi-
cle on the multifunction screen.
The proximity information is indica-
ted by:
- an audible signal which be- comes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction display, with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; front or rear and right
or left.
When the distance between the ve-
hicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous
and/or the "Danger" symbol appears,
depending on the multifunction screen
version.
The parking assistance is switched off :
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than
6 mph (10 km/h) in forward
gear,
- when the vehicle has been sta- tionary for more than three sec-
onds in forward gear. Deactivation

 Press button A , the warning lamp
comes on, the system is fully de-
activated.
The system will be deactivated au-
tomatically when a trailer is being
towed or when a bicycle carrier is
ﬁ tted (vehicle ﬁ tted with a towbar
or bicycle carrier recommended by
CITROËN).

Reactivation
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty.
When the speed of the vehicle is
below about 6 mph (10 km/h), some
sources of noise (motorcycle, lorry,
pneumatic drill, ...) may trigger the
audible parking sensor signals.

 Press button A again, the warn-
ing lamp switches off, the system
is reactivated.
"HYDRACTIVE III +" ELECTRONIC SUSPENSION
The suspension automatically and
instantly adjusts to different driving
styles and to the proﬁ le of the road,
providing the best compromise be-
tween occupant comfort and vehicle
road holding.
The system alternates between soft
and ﬁ rm suspension settings, maxi-
mising comfort at the same time as
constantly ensuring the highest level
of safety. It also automatically cor-
rects ride height, according to the
vehicle load and driving conditions.
In addition, the "Hydractive III +" sys-
tem allows you to choose between
two modes of suspension.
A change of suspension mode can
be made either when the vehicle is
moving or when stationary, by press-
ing button A . Display on the instrument
panel
The suspension mode selected is
displayed on the instrument panel
screen.
Normal mode
This mode favours soft
damping for maximum com-
fort.
If the speed authorised for a
particular position is exceed-
ed, the vehicle reverts automatically
to the normal road position.
SPORT mode
This mode favours dynamic
driving.
The warning lamp on button

A comes on in addition to
the message on the instru-
ment panel screen.

SPORT mode is retained when you
switch off the engine.
