Parking assistance
AUDIBLE REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
The audible system consists of four
proximity sensors, installed in the rear
bumper.
It detects any obstacle which enters the
field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind the
vehicle during the manoeuvre.
However, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle moves close to it.
This system does not take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver. Stop the assistance
Change to neutral.
Operating fault
If this warning light or the service
warning light comes on on the
instrument panel, accompanied
by a message on the display,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
Engage reverse gear
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
This function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed.
You are advised to obtain a towbar
recommended by CITROËN and have it
installed by a professional.
If anomalies are detected on engaging reverse
gear, the warning light comes on, possibly
accompanied by a message on the display.

ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
The ABS increases the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking, particularly on poor or slippery road
surfaces.

Note: when changing wheels (tyres and
rims), make sure that they conform to the
manufacturer ’s recommendations.
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.

In emergency braking, press very firmly
without releasing the pressure.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not permit shorter
braking. On very slippery road surfaces
(ice, oil, etc.) the ABS may lengthen the
braking distances. In emergency braking,
do not hesitate to press the brake pedal
firmly, without releasing the pressure, even
on slippery roads, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
If the ABS warning light on the
instrument panel comes on, this
indicates a malfunction of the anti-
lock braking system which could
result in a loss of control of the vehicle on
braking.

Stop immediately.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
