Operation
Y o u h a v e i d e n t i ï¬ e d a p a r k i n g s p a c e :
ï†
Press button A to select the function.
ï† Activate the direction indicator
on the side where the space is to
be measured.
ï† During measurement, go for-
ward the length of the space, at
a speed less than 12 mph (ap-
p r o x . 2 0 k m / h ) , t o p r e p a r e f o r
your manoeuvre.
The system then measures the size
of the space.
ï† The system informs you of the
l e v e l o f d i f ï¬ c u l t y o f t h e m a n o e u -
vre via a message on the instru-
ment panel screen accompanied
by a gong.
ï† 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
P a r k i n g d i f ï¬ c u l t
Parking NO The function deselects itself auto-
matically:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measurement is not requested,
- w i t h i n ï¬ v e m i n u t e s o f s e l e c t i o n o f
the function,
- i f t h e v e h i c l e s p e e d e x c e e d s t h e t h r e s h o l d o f 4 5 m p h ( a p p r o x .
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 dur-
ing 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 ses-
nors 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 sensors system cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.
VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT AND/OR REAR PARKING SENSORS
S y s t e m c o n s i s t i n g o f p r o x i m i t y s e n -
sors, installed in the front and/or rear
bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehi-
cle, tree, barrier...) located in front of
or behind the vehicle, however, it will
not be able to detect obstacles locat-
ed immediately below the bumper.
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 sensors are
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.
T h e p r o x i m i t y i n f o r m a t i o n i s i n d i c a t -
ed 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
a p p r o x i m a t e l y t h i r t y c e n t i m e t r e s ,
the audible signal becomes con-
tinuous and/or the "Danger" symbol
appears, depending on the multi-
function screen version.
The parking sensors are switched
off :
- w h e n y o u e x i t r e v e r s e g e a r ,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been station- ary for more than three seconds in
forward gear. Deactivation
ï† 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
ï¬ t t e d ( v e h i c l e ï¬ t t e d w i t h a t o w b a r
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.
ï† 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
s t y l e s a n d t o t h e p r o ï¬ l e o f t h e r o a d ,
providing the best compromise be-
tween occupant comfort and vehicle
road holding.
The system alternates between soft
a n d ï¬ r m s u s p e n s i o n s e t t i n g s , m a x i -
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
