Parking sensors

This system measures the size of a free
parking space between two vehicles or
obstacles.

Stop & Start system

This system puts the engine temporarily into standby during
stops in the traffic (traffic lights, traffic jams, etc...). The engine
restarts automatically as soon as you want to move off. The
Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions, as well as noise levels when stationary.

automatically. Refer to "Driving - § Stop & Start" for special cases
with STOP mode and START mode.


Parking space
sensors


fixed. The parking space sensors function
is selected. To star t measurement, operate the direction indicator
on the side of the space to be measured, and do not
exceed 12 mph (20 km/h). A message is displayed
once the measurement has been completed.

Parking space sensors


System which measures the parking space
available between two vehicles or obstacles.
It measures the size of the space and gives you
information on:


- the possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances needed for
manoeuvring,

- the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre to
be performed.
The system does not measure spaces which
are clearly much smaller or larger than the size
of the vehicle.

Displays in the instrument panel
You have identified a parking space:


)
Press button A
to select the function.

)
Operate the direction indicator on the
side where the space is to be measured;
a message is displayed to confirm that
measurement is in progress.

)
During measurement, go for ward the
length of the space, at a speed less than
12 mph (approx. 20 km/h), to prepare for
your manoeuvre.

)
Once the measurement has been
completed, the system informs you of
the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre
by a message in the multifunction screen
accompanied by an audible signal.


Operation

The parking space sensor function
warning lamp can have two different
states:


- on fixed:
the function is selected by a
press on control A
.

- off:
the function is not selected,

225Driving
The function displays the following types of message:
The function deselects itself automatically:


- when you engage reverse gear,

- when you switch off the ignition,

- if measuring is not requested,

- within five 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 system remains available after each
measurement and can therefore measure
several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are free of dir t, ice or snow.
The parking space sensor system deactivates
the front parking sensors when measuring
forwards.

Parking possible


Parking difficult


Parking not advised

If there is a fault, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Parking sensors

This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which
comes within the field of detection of sensors
located in the bumper.
Cer tain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.

This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit
reverse gear.

Rear parking sensors


Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.




Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger"
symbol is also displayed in the screen.
