The system is deactivated by pressing the control.
The
 system  is  deactivated  automatically:
-
Â
o

-
Â
i
f  the  engine  stalls,
-
i
f no manoeuvre is started within 5 minutes
of selection of the type of manoeuvre,
-

a
manoeuvre,

-
Â
i
f  the  speed  of  the  vehicle  exceeds  the Â
s
tated limit,
-
w
hen the driver interrupts movement of the
steering
 w
heel,
-
a
fter 4 manoeuvre cycles,
-
Â
o
n  opening  the  driver's  door,
-
i
f one of the front wheels encounters an
obstacle.
The
 operation  indicator  lamp  goes  off  in  the Â
i
nstrument  panel  and  a  message  is  displayed Â
a
ccompanied  by  an  audible  signal.
The
 driver  should  then  take  back  control  of  the Â
v
ehicle's
 s
teering.
Deactivation
The system is switched off automatically:
-  w hen  towing  a  trailer,  connected Â
e
lectrically,
-
Â
i
f  the  driver's  door  is  opened,
-
i
f the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph
(70
 km/h).
To
 switch  the  system  of  for  a  prolonged  period, Â
c
ontact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Operating faults
In the event of a fault with the power
steering,  this  warning  lamp  flashes  in Â
t
he instrument panel, accompanied
by
 a  message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Switching off
If the lateral distance between your
vehicle  and  the  space  is  too  great,  the s
ystem may not be able to measure the
space.
Anything
 projecting  beyond  the  envelope
 o
f the vehicle (a ladder on the roof, for
example)
 is  not  taken  into  account  by  the
 P
ark  Assist  system  during  a  manoeuvre.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by road
dirt,
 ice  or  snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked
 by  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a Â
q
ualified
 w
orkshop.
If
Â
the
Â
system
Â
is
Â
deactivated
Â
during
Â
a
Â
ma
noeuvre, the drive should reactivate
it
Â
to
Â
repeat
Â
the
Â
measurement. In
Â
the
Â
event
Â
of
Â
a
Â
fault,
Â
this
Â
warning
Â
l
amp flashes for a few seconds,
accompanied
Â
by
Â
an
Â
audible
Â
signal.
If

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres,
 once  the  vehicle  is  moving.
It
 compares  the  information  given  by  the  four Â
w
heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
 system  triggers  an  alert  as  soon  as  it Â
d
etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or
 more  tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does
 not  replace  the  need  for  vigilance Â
o
n  the  part  of  the  driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check
 the  tyre  pressures  (including  the Â
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
before
 a  long  journey.
Driving
 with  under-inflated  tyres  impairs Â
r
oad  holding,  extends  braking  distances Â
a
nd causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high
 loading,  high  speed,  long  journey).
System
 which  automatically  checks  the  pressures  of  the  tyres  while  driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure
 label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding
 s
ection.
Tyre
 pressures  should  be  checked Â
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
 for  1  hour  or  after  a  journey  of Â
l
ess  than  6  miles  (10  km)  at  moderate Â
s
peeds).
Other wise
 (when  hot),  add  0.3  bar  to Â
t
he  pressures  shown  on  the  label.
Driving
 with  under-inflated  tyres Â
i
ncreases  fuel  consumption.

Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
This is given by fixed illumination of t
his  warning  lamp,  accompanied  by Â
a
n  audible  signal  and,  depending  on Â
e
quipment,  the  display  of  a  message. It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time
 one  or  more  tyre  pressures  are  adjusted, Â
a
nd  after  changing  one  or  more  wheels.
F
R
educe speed immediately, avoid
excessive
 steering  movements  and  sudden Â
b
raking.
F
S
top the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to
Â
do
Â
so. F
I n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary
 puncture  repair  kit  or  the  spare Â
w
heel  (depending  on  equipment),
or
F
i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in
 the  temporary  puncture  repair  kit,  check Â
t
he pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F
Â
i
f  it  is  not  possible  to  make  this  check Â
i
mmediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always
 cause  visible  bulging  of  the  tyre. Â
D
o
Â
not  satisfy  yourself  with  just  a  visual Â
c
heck. The alert is maintained until the system
is
 r
einitialised.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after  fitting  or  removing Â
sn
ow
 c
hains.
Before
 reinitialising  the  system,  ensure Â
t
hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre  pressure  label.
The under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does  not  give  a  warning  if  a  pressure  is Â
i
ncorrect  at  the  time  of  reinitialisation.

Before
 doing  anything  to  the  system, Â
t
he pressures of the four tyres must be
checked
 and  the  system  reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert can only be
relied on if reinitialisation of the system
is done with the four tyre pressures
correctly

set. In
 this  case,  under-inflation  monitoring  of  the Â
