HILL START ASSIST
System which keeps your vehicle
immobilised temporarily (approxi-
mately 2 seconds) when starting on
a gradient, the time it takes to move
your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
T h i s f u n c t i o n i s o n l y a c t i v e w h e n :
- the vehicle is completely station-ary, with your foot on the brake
pedal,
- in particular conditions on a slope,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot
be deactivated. Operation
Operating fault
If a malfunction of the system oc-
curs, these warning lamps come on.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have
the system checked.
On an ascending slope, with the
vehicle stationary, the vehicle is
held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal:
- p r o v i d e d y o u a r e i n fi r s t g e a r o r neutral on a manual gearbox,
- provided you are in A or M on an
electronic gearbox,
- provided you are in D or M on an
automatic gearbox.
On a descending slope, with the
vehicle stationary and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you re-
lease the brake pedal.
Do not exit the vehicle while
it is being held in the hill
start assist phase.
If you need to exit the ve-
hicle with the engine running,

s p a c e :
Press button A to select the func-
tion.
Activate the direction indicator
on the side where the space is to
be measured.
During the measuring, go for-
ward the length of the space, at
a speed less than 12 mph (ap-
prox. 20 km/h), to prepare for
your manoeuvre.
The system then measures the size of the space.
The system informs you of the
l e v e l o f d i f fi c u l t y o f t h e m a n o e u -
vre via a message on the multi-
function screen accompanied by
a gong.
Depending on the message is-
sued by the system, you may or
may not be able to perform the
manoeuvre.

the function,
- if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold of 45 mph (approx.
70 km/h) for one minute.
If there is a malfunction,
have the system checked
by a CITROËN dealer.
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 function remains available
after each measurement and
thus can measure more than
one space during your search.
- In bad weather conditions or in winter, make sure that the sen-
sors are not covered by dirt, or
by ice or snow.
- The parking space sensor func- tion deactivates the front park-
ing assistance during the space
measuring phase when you are
in forward gear.
