PARKING SENSORS
  This system indicates the proximity 
of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, 
gate, etc.) which comes within the 
fi eld of detection of sensors located 
in the bumper. 
  Certain types of obstacle (stake, 
roadworks cone, etc.) detected ini-
tially will no longer be detected at 
the end of the manoeuvre due to the 
presence of blind spots.  
   
 
Visual assistance 
  This supplements the audible signal 
by displaying bars in the multifunc-
tion screen which move progressively 
nearer to the vehicle. When the ob-
stacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is 
also displayed in the screen.  
     
Audible assistance 
  The proximity information is given 
by an intermittent audible signal, the 
frequency of which increases as the 
vehicle approaches the obstacle. 
  The sound emitted by the speaker 
(right or left) indicates the side on 
which the obstacle is located. 
  When the distance between the 
vehicle and the obstacle becomes 
less than approximately thirty centi-
metres, the audible signal becomes 
continuous.  
 
   
This function cannot, in any circum-
stances, take the place of the vigi-
lance and responsibility of the driver.  
 
 
 
Rear parking sensors 
 
The system is switched on by engag-
ing reverse gear. This is accompanied 
by an audible signal. 
  The system is switched off when you 
exit reverse gear.

Front parking sensors 
 
In addition to the rear parking sensors, 
the front parking sensors are triggered 
when an obstacle is detected in front 
and the speed of the vehicle is still be-
low 6 mph (10 km/h). 
  The front parking sensors are inter-
rupted if the vehicle stops for more 
than three seconds in forward gear, 
if no further obstacles are detected 
or when the speed of the vehicle ex-
ceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).    
The sound emitted by the speaker 
(front or rear) indicates whether the 
obstacle is in front or behind.  
 
 
   
Deactivation/Activation of the 
front and rear parking sensors 
  The function is deactivated by press-
ing this button. The indicator lamp in 
the button comes on. 
  Pressing this button again reacti-
vates the function. The indicator 
lamp in the button goes off.  
 
   
 
The function will be deactivated au-
tomatically if a trailer is being towed 
or a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle 
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle car-
rier recommended by CITROËN).  
 
 
 
Operating fault 
 
In the event of a malfunction 
of the system, when reverse 
gear is engaged this warn-
ing lamp is displayed in the 
instrument panel and/or a message 
appears in the screen, accompanied 
by an audible signal (short beep). 
  Contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop. 
 
 
In bad weather or in winter, ensure 
that the sensors are not covered 
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible 
signal (long beep) indicates that the 
sensors may be dirty. 
  When the vehicle is moving at a 
speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer-
tain sound sources (motorcycle, 
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trig-
ger the audible signals of the parking 
sensor system.
