qualified workshop.
Overriding the programmed
speed
In the event of a steep descent or
under excessive acceleration, the
speed limiter (which does not act
on the brakes) may not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
Use of a floor mat other than that
recommended by CITROËN may affect
the normal operation of the accelerator
pedal and hamper the operation of the
speed limiter.
Floor mats approved by CITROËN
are fitted with a 3rd fixing located in
the pedal area to avoid any risk of
inter ference with the pedals.
The speed will also flash if the speed limiter is
not able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed (e.g. on a steep
descent or under excessive acceleration).
To reactivate the speed limiter, release the
accelerator to slow to a speed lower than the
programmed speed.

Parking space sensor
System which measures the parking space
available between two vehicles or obstacles. It
measures the size of the space and gives you
information on:
-
t
he possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances necessary for
your manoeuvring,
-
t
he level of difficulty of the manoeuvre to
be performed.
The system does not measure spaces which
are clearly much smaller or larger than the size
of the vehicle. The parking space sensor function warning
lamp can have three different states:
-
o
ff: the function is not selected,
-
o
n fixed: the function is selected but the
conditions for measuring are not yet met
(direction indicator not operating, speed too
high) or the measurement is terminated.
-
f
lashing: measurement is in progress or
the message is being displayed. You can select the "parking space sensor"
function by pressing button A
. The fixed
illumination of the warning lamp indicates that
the function is selected.
During the measurement, the message
"Measurement in progress - Vmax 20 km/h
(12 mph)" is displayed in the instrument panel
screen.Displays in the instrument panel

where the space is to be measured.
F
D
uring measurement, go for ward the
length of the space, at a speed less than
12 mph (approx. 20 km/h), to prepare for
your manoeuvre.
The system then measures the size of the space.
F
T
he system informs you of the level
of difficulty of the manoeuvre via a
message in the instrument panel screen
accompanied by an audible signal.
F
D
epending on the message issued by the
system, you may or may not be able to
per form the manoeuvre.The function displays the following types of message:
Parking YES
Parking DIFFICULT
Parking NO The function deselects itself automatically:
-
w
hen you engage reverse gear,
-
w
hen you switch off the ignition,
-
i
f measurement is not requested,
-
w
ithin five minutes of selection of the
function,
-
i
f the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold
of 45 mph (approx. 70 km/h) for
one minute.
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 sensors are not covered by dirt, or
by ice or snow.
The parking space sensor function deactivates
the front parking sensors during space
measurement when you are in for ward gear.
If there is a fault, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Visual and audible front and/or rear parking sensors
The parking sensors are switched on:
- b y engaging reverse gear,
-
a
t a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in
forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible signal and/
or displaying of the vehicle in the multifunction
screen.
The proximity information is indicated by:
-
a
n audible signal which becomes more
rapid as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle,
-
a d
iagram in 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 approximately thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and/or the "Danger" symbol
appears, depending on the multifunction
screen version. The parking sensors are switched off
:
- w hen you exit reverse gear,
-
w
hen the speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h) in for ward gear,
-
w
hen the vehicle has been stationary for
more than three seconds in for ward gear.
The parking sensors system cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
System consisting of proximity sensors, installed
in the front and/or rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle, tree,
barrier...) located in front of or behind the
vehicle, however, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below the
b u m p e r.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks cone
or any other similar object may be detected at
the start of the manoeuvre but may no longer be
detected when the vehicle moves nearer to it.

Reversing camera (Tourer)
A reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed in the navigation
screen.The space between the blue lines represents
the width of your vehicle except for the door
mirrors.
The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle.
The red lines represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines represent distances of
about 1 and 2 metres beyond the edge of your
vehicle's rear bumper.
The projected lines displayed in the
screen do not allow the vehicle to
be placed relative to tall obstacles
(vehicles that are close for example).
Deformation of the image is normal.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a sponge and a soft cloth.
When cleaning the vehicle with a high
pressure jet wash, keep the lance
at least 30 cm from the lens of the
camera.
This system is a driving aid that does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver, who must retain
control of their vehicle at all times.
