The connection of an electrical device
not approved by CITROËN, such as
a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor radio
reception or inter ference with displays in
the screens.
USB sockets
The USB socket located at the front
also allows a smartphone to be
connected by MirrorLink
TM, Android
Auto® or CarPlay®, so that certain
smartphone applications can be used
on the touch screen. When the USB socket is used, the
portable device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed
if the power consumption of the portable
device exceeds the amperage supplied by
the vehicle.
For more information on how to use this
equipment, refer to the Audio equipment
and telematics
section.
Wireless smartphone

It allows the wireless charging of a portable
d evice, such as a smartphone, using the
principle of magnetic induction, based on the Qi
1.1


standard.
The portable device to be charged must be
compatible with the Qi standard, either by
design or by using a
compatible holder or shell.
The charging area is identified by the Qi
symbol.
They allow the connection of a

portable device,
such as an iPod
®-type digital audio player, to
charge the device.

use a

cable made or approved by the device
manufacturer.
These applications can be managed using the
steering mounted controls or those of the audio

measurement. It intervenes later when
manoeuvring to warn you that your vehicle
is approaching an obstacle: the audible
signal becomes continuous when the
obstacle is less than thirty centimetres
away.
If you have deactivated the parking
sensors, they are automatically
reactivated during assisted parking
manoeuvres.
Activation of Park Assist deactivates the
Blind Spot Monitoring system.
