Driving
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30
cm away
from the sensors and cameras.
Mats/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims not
approved by CITROËN may interfere with
the operation of the speed limiter or cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–

Ensure that the mat is secured correctly
.
–

Never fit one mat on top of another
.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
