Parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle   (person,   vehicle,   tree,   gate,   etc.)  
w

hich   comes   within   the   field   of   detection   of  
s

ensors   located   in   the   bumper.
Certain
  types   of   obstacle   (stake,   roadworks  
c

one,   etc.)   detected   initially   will   no   longer   be  
d

etected   at   the   end   of   the   manoeuvre,   if   they  
a

re   located   in   blind   spots   in   the   sensors'   field  
o

f   detection.
This system cannot in any circumstances replace the   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent   audible   signal,   the   frequency   of   which i

ncreases   as   the   vehicle   approaches   the   obstacle.
The
  sound   emitted   by   the   speaker   (right   or   left)
 i

ndicates   the   side   on   which   the   obstacle   is   located.
When
  the   distance   between   the   vehicle   and
 t

he   obstacle   becomes   less   than   approximately
 t

hirty   centimetres,   the   audible   signal   becomes
 c

ontinuous.
Rear parking sensors
Visual assistance*
This supplements the audible signal by d isplaying   bars   in   the   screen   which   move  
p

rogressively   nearer   to   the   vehicle.
When
  the   obstacle   is   very   close,   the   "Danger"  
s

ymbol   is   displayed   in   the   screen.
The
 
system
 
is
 
switched
 
on
 
by
 
engaging
 
reverse
 
g

e a r.
This
 
is
 
confirmed
 
by
 
an
 
audible
 
signal.
The
 
system
 
is
 
switched
 
off
 
when
 
you

ccompanied   by   an   audible   signal   (short   beep).
Contact
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified
 w

orkshop.In addition to the rear parking sensors, the f ront   parking   sensors   are   triggered   when   an  
o

bstacle   is   detected   in   front   and   the   speed   of  
t

he   vehicle   is   still   below   6   mph   (10   km/h).
The
  front   parking   sensors   are   interrupted   if  
t

he   vehicle   stops   for   more   than   three   seconds  
i

n   for ward   gear,   if   no   further   obstacles   are  
d

etected   or   when   the   speed   of   the   vehicle  
e

xceeds   6   mph   (10   km/h).
The
  sound   emitted   by   the   speaker  
(

front   or   rear)   indicates   whether   the  
o

bstacle   is   in   front   or   behind. In
  bad   weather   or   in   winter,   ensure  
t

hat   the   sensors   are   not   covered   with  
m

ud,   ice   or   snow.   When   reverse   gear   is  
e

ngaged,   an   audible   signal   (long   beep)  
i

ndicates   that   the   sensors   may   be   dirty.
Certain
  sound   sources   (motorcycle,  
l

orry,   pneumatic   drill,   etc.)   may   trigger  
t

he   audible   signals   of   the   parking  
s

ensor   system.
The
  function   will   be   deactivated  
a

utomatically   if   a   trailer   is   being   towed
