responsibility of the driver. Puncture
The service warning lamp
comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function screen locating
the wheel concerned.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible. This check must be carried
out when the tyres are cold. The
STOP warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction
screen locating the wheel
concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and
the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punctured

Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
The service warning
lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, ac-
companied by an audible
signal and a message on
the multifunction screen
locating the wheel or wheels which
are not detected or indicating a fault
in the system.
Have the faulty sensor(s) checked
by a CITROËN dealer. All repairs and changing of tyres
o n a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s s y s t e m
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
b y y o u r v e h i c l e ( e x a m p l e : fi t t i n g
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to the
" T e c h n i c a l d a t a - § I d e n t i fi c a t i o n
markings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic perform-
ance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driv-
ing conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.

PARKING SPACE SENSOR
System which measures the parking
space available between two vehi-
cles or obstacles. It measures the
size of the space and gives you in-
formation on:
- t h e p o s s i b i l i t y o f fi t t i n g i n t o a f r e e space, depending on the dimensions
of your vehicle and the distances
necessary for your manoeuvring,
- t h e l e v e l o f d i f fi c u l t y o f t h e m a -noeuvre to be performed.
The system does not measure spac-
es which are clearly much smaller or
larger than the size of the vehicle. Displays on the instrument
panel
The parking space sensor
function warning lamp can
have three different states:
- off: the function is not selected,
- o n fi x e d : the function is selected
but the conditions for measuring
are not yet met (direction indi-
cator not operating, speed too
high) or the measuring phase is
terminated.
- fl a s h i n g : the measuring is in
progress or the message is be-
ing displayed. You can select the "parking space
sensor" function by pressing button
A.

Operation
Y o u h a v e i d e n t i fi e d a p a r k i n g s p a c e :
Press button A to select the function.
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 level
o f d i f fi c u l t y o f t h e m a n o e u v r e v i a
a message on the multifunction
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.
Parking possible
P a r k i n g d i f fi c u l t
Parking not advised
The function displays the following
types of message: The function deselects itself auto-
matically:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measuring is not requested,
- w i t h i n fi v e m i n u t e s o f s e l e c t i o n o f
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.

crossed on the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been crossed on
the left.
No warning is transmitted while the direc-
tion indicator is active and for approxi-
mately 20 seconds after the direction
indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direc-
tion marking (e.g. arrow) or non-standard
m a r k i n g ( e . g . g r a f fi t i ) i s c r o s s e d .
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction, the
service warning lamp comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, re-
place the need for vigilance and res-
ponsibility on the part of the driver. The detection may be impeded:
- if the sensors are dirty (mud, snow...),
- if the markings on the ground
are worn,
- if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and
the road surface.

AUDIBLE AND/OR VISUAL REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
System consisting of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle, except obstacles located
just below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the begin-
ning of the manoeuvre, but may no
longer be detected when the vehicle
comes close to it.
If there is an operating fault, when reverse gear is en-gaged this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep) and a message on the multifunction screen.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, frost or snow.
Programming
You can activate or deactivate the system by means of the multifunc- t i o n s c r e e n c o n fi g u r a t i o n m e n u . T h e system state is memorised when switching off the ignition.
For more information on access to the parking assistance menu, refer to t h e s e c t i o n o n v e h i c l e c o n fi g u r a t i o n for your screen under "Multifunction screens".
The system will be deactivated auto-matically when towing a trailer or w h e n a b i c y c l e c a r r i e r i s fi t t e d ( v e h i - c l e fi t t e d w i t h a t o w b a r o r b i c y c l e c a r -rier recommended by CITROËN). c l e fi t t e d w i t h a t o w b a r o r b i c y c l e c a r - c l e fi t t e d w i t h a t o w b a r o r b i c y c l e c a r -
The parking assistance system cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and res-ponsibility of the driver.
Activation
The system is activated as soon as reverse gear is engaged, accompa-nied by an audible signal. The proxi-mity information is given by:
- an audible signal, which beco-mes more rapid as the vehicle approaches the obstacle,
- a graphic on the multifunction screen, with blocks which be-come increasingly closer to the vehicle.
When the distance between the rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is less than thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous and the "Danger" symbol appears on the multifunction screen.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when you exit reverse gear, the system becomes inactive.

AUDIBLE AND VISUAL FRONT AND REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
System consisting of four proximity
sensors, installed in the front and/or
rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, ve-
hicle, tree, barrier...) located in front
of and behind the vehicle, except for
obstacles located immediately be-
low the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the start of
the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
nearer to it. The parking assistance is
switched
on :
- by engaging reverse gear,
- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and/or displaying of the vehi-
cle on the multifunction screen.
The proximity information is indicated
by:
- an audible signal which be- comes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction screen, with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; front or rear and right
or left.
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approxi-
mately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous and/or the
"Danger" symbol appears, depending
on the multifunction screen version. The parking assistance is
switched
off :
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been station- ary for more than three seconds in
forward gear.
