HILL START ASSIST
System which keeps your vehicle
immobilised temporarily (approxi-
mately 2 seconds) when starting on
a gradient, the time it takes to move
your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely station-ary, with your foot on the brake
pedal,
- in certain conditions on a gradi- ent,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot
be deactivated. Operation

On an ascending
gradient
, with
the vehicle stationary, the vehicle
is held for a brief moment when
you release the brake pedal:
- provided you are in fi rst gear or neutral on a manual gearbox,
- provided you are in D or M on an
automatic gearbox.
On a descending
gradient
, with
the vehicle stationary and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you re-
lease the brake pedal.
Do not exit the vehicle while
it is being held in the hill start
assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle with
the engine running, manually apply
the parking brake and ensure that
the parking brake warning lamp
(on the instrument panel) and the
warning lamp P (on the control le-
ver A ) are permanently on.

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).
