Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything close
or in the way of airbag trajectory; this could
cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even when following all the precautions
listed, a risk of injuries or slight burns to
the head, the chest or the arms, when an
airbag deploys cannot be excluded. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries
in case of airbag deployment.
Side airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Do not attach or hang anything on the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.) as this could cause
injuries to the thorax or arm when the side
airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not attach anything or hang anything to
the roof, as this could cause head injuries
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags. The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors – Risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at
least around 600
miles (1,000 kilometres).
When the exterior temperature is high,
leaving the engine running for 1
to
2
minutes after stopping the vehicle to
allow it to cool is recommended.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
beam height adjustment , refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine CITROËN
towbar is used.

If automatic emergency braking is not
activated, you are alerted by the fixed
display of the warning lamp accompanied
by a message.
Intelligent emergency braking
assistance
If the driver does not brake sufficiently
to avoid an accident, this system will
complete the braking.
This emergency braking system will not
act if you press the brake pedal.
Deactivation/Activation of the
alert and the braking
By default, the function is automatically
activated at every engine start.
The deactivation or activation of the function is
done in the vehicle configuration menu.
With audio system
In the "Personalisation-
configuration " menu, activate/
deactivate " Auto. emergency
braking ".
With the touch screen
In the "Driving/Vehicle " menu,
activate/deactivate " Collision risk
alert and automatic braking ".
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the
system, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
If the fault persists, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked. If one of the two sensors (camera or radar)
is masked or its visibility is reduced, while
the other sensor is able to work normally,
the system still operates, but at a lower
level of per formance. No message or
warning lamp indicates this.
To ensure correct operation of the radar,
do not paint over the paintwork on the
vehicle's bumper.
Poor weather conditions (very heavy
rain, accumulation of snow in front of the
radar and the camera) may hinder the
operation of the system, with the display of
an operating fault message. The function
remains unavailable until the message
disappears.

The warning lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on
the front and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may hamper
the correct operation of the system.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not place
the tip of the lance within 30
cm of the
sensors as other wise there is a risk of
damaging them.
In the event of a fault, these warning lamps
flash.

Parking sensors
This system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistanceVisual assistance
This system indicates the proximity of any
obstacle (examples: pedestrian, vehicle, tree,
gate) which comes within the field of detection
of sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (examples: stake,
roadworks cone) detected initially will no longer
be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they are located in blind spots in the sensors'
field of detection.
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 centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars on the screen or the instrument
panel that move progressively nearer to the
vehicle. When the obstacle is at its closest, the
"Danger" symbol is displayed.
Driving

229
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 below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 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
The system is activated and deactivated from
the vehicle configuration menu.
With audio system
In the " Personalisation-
configuration " menu, activate/
deactivate " Parking assistance ".
With the touch screen
The system will be automatically
deactivated where a towbar or towbar-
mounted bicycle carrier is fitted
(vehicle fitted with a towbar installed as
recommended by a CITROËN dealer).
Operating fault
When engaging reverse and depending on the
vehicle's equipment, in the event of a fault:
This warning lamp comes on and a
message appears, accompanied by
an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking sensor
system.
In the "
Driving/Vehicle " menu,
activate/deactivate " Parking

Reversing camera with
display in the interior
mirror
The visual reversing assistance camera is
activated automatically when reverse gear is
engaged.
The function may be supplemented by parking
sensors.They are represented by lines marked "on
the ground" and do not allow the position
of the vehicle to be determined relative to
tall obstacles (for example: other
vehicles).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
It is normal to see part of the number plate
displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Opening the tailgate or rear door
(depending on equipment) can interfere
with the display.
If a side door is open, allow for the space
it occupies. Check the cleanliness of the camera lens
regularly.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
The image is displayed in the interior mirror. The blue lines represent the width of your
vehicle including the mirrors.
The red line represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper and the thin blue lines
respectively 1 m (
A) and 2 m (
B).

Principle of operation
The images provided by the cameras may
be distorted by the environment (external
conditions, driving mode, etc.).
The presence of areas in shadow, bright
sunlight, or poor lighting conditions may
make the image dark and reduce contrast.
The display disappears above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
The system is automatically deactivated
about 7
seconds after coming out of
reverse or on opening a door, the boot.
This system allows the near surroundings of the
vehicle to be viewed in the display screen using
a camera located at the rear of the vehicle.
The parking sensors in the rear and/or front
bumper complete the information on the view
from above the vehicle (right-hand part).
In addition to the view from above the vehicle
(right-hand part) several types of view can be
displayed (left-hand part):
-

s

tandard rear view,
-

1

80° rear view,
-

r

ear zoom view. The system displays the contextual view
(left-hand part) as well as the view from above
the vehicle in its close surroundings.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information received from the parking sensors.
The 180° view is only available via the menus. Using the rear camera, the vehicle's
surroundings are recorded during a
manoeuvre. An image from above your vehicle
in its close surroundings is reconstructed
(represented between the blue brackets) in real
time and as the vehicle progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen.
This image is automatically erased if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.

"Standard view""180° view"
The area to the rear of your vehicle is displayed
in the screen.
The blue outline represents the width of your
vehicle (with mirrors): its orientation depends
on the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper and the two blue lines,
1
m and 2 m respectively.
This view is available with AUTO view or by
selection of the view in the change view menu. 180° view makes it possible to reverse out of
a parking space while being able to see the
arrival of vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a complete manoeuvre.
It is made up of the following:
This view is available only from the view
selection menu.
The rear parking sensors also provide
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are in reality.
It is important to check the side views
using the mirrors during the manoeuvre.
"Zoom view"
The camera memorises the vehicle's
surroundings during the manoeuvre in order to
create a view from above the rear of the vehicle
in its near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to
be manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO view or by
selection of the view in the change view menu.
