FRONT AND/OR REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE
If fi tted on your vehicle, the system is
audible and/or visual and consists of
four proximity sensors, located in the
front and/or rear bumper. The sensors
detect any obstacle which enters
the fi eld: person, vehicle, tree, gate,
located in front of or behind the vehicle
during the manoeuvre.
Objects the size or thickness of which
is detected at the beginning of the
manoeuvre, may no longer be detected
at the end of the manoeuvre: due to
blind spots between and below the
sensors. Examples: stake, roadworks
cone, kerbstone.
This system does not take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Switching the system on
The system is activated as soon as:
- reverse gear is engaged,
- the speed falls below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and displaying of the vehicle,
depending on the display.
The proximity information is given by:
- an audible signal, which becomes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a graphic on the display, with blocks which become progressively
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to the
emission of the audible signal from the
speakers, front or rear and right or left. Switching the system off
Press the button again to re-activate
the system. The indicator light on the
button switches off.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, frost or snow.
In this case (e.g. sensors dirty), when
reverse gear is engaged, the indicator
light fl ashes, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the display.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Deactivation
Press the button on the fascia
to deactivate the system
(to avoid waking a child...).
The indicator light on the
button comes on.
The system returns to the inactive
status:
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed increases to above
6 mph (10 km/h),
- at the end of the manoeuvre, when the vehicle becomes stationary
(front parking assistance only).
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous and the "Danger"
symbol appears depending on the display.
This function will be deactivated
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle
carrier is fi tted (vehicle fi tted with
towing attachment or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN ).
