Driving
6Zoom view

The camera records the vehicle's surroundings
during the manoeuvre in order to create a
view from above the front of the vehicle in its
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be
manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
It is important to check the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
The parking sensors also supplement the
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
180° view

The 180° view assists with exiting from a parking
space in forward gear, making it possible to
see the approach of vehicles, pedestrians and
cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out a
complete manoeuvre.
It consists of 3 areas: left A, centre B and right
C.
This view is available only from the view
selection menu.
Park Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system provides active parking assistance:
it detects a parking space then operates the
steering system to park in this space.
With
manual and automatic gearboxes, the
driver manages the accelerator, brakes and
forward and reverse gear engagement.
During phases of entry into and exit from a
parking space, the system provides visual and
audible information to the driver in order to make
the manoeuvres safe. Several forward and
reverse manoeuvres may be required.
At any time, the driver can take back control by
holding the steering wheel.


The Park Assist system provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:
A. Entry into a "parallel" parking space
B. Exit from a "parallel" parking space
C. Entry into a "bay" parking space
The Park Assist system cannot operate
with the engine switched off.
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents
Stop & Start from going into STOP mode. In
STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts
the engine.

Load distribution
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance.
The maximum towable load
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000
metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and their
wiring harnesses approved by CITROËN.
We recommend having them fitted by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, they must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Important: with a motorised tailgate and its
"Hands-Free Tailgate Access" function, if a
towing device is fitted outside the CITROËN
dealer network, it is essential to visit a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
to recalibrate the detection system. Risk
of malfunction of the "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, on the
manufacturer's label and in the Technical
data section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum authorised
nose weight (towball weight) also includes
the use of accessories (bicycle carriers,
