This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) 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.
Parking sensors
This function cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance of the driver.
Rear parking
sensors
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 centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in the screen.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
driving

DS5_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2015
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. 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 event of a malfunction of the
system, when reverse gear is engaged
this warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Operating fault
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).
Front parking
sensors
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).
deactivation / Activation of
the front and rear parking
sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button
goes off.
The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is in front or behind. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The colour image is provided in the touch
screen tablet.
The reversing camera system may be
accompanied by parking sensors.The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle.
The blue curved lines represent the maximum
turning circle.
The green lines represent distances of around
1 to 2 metres beyond the edge of the vehicle's
rear bumper.
The red line represents the distance of around
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r. The lines displayed in the screen do not
allow the position of the vehicle to be
determined relative to tall obstacles
(for example: vehicles nearby).
Some deformation of the image is
normal.
This system is a driving aid that does not
replace vigilance on the part of the driver, who
must remain in control of the vehicle at all
times.
High pressure jet washing
When cleaning your vehicle, keep the
end of the high pressure lance at least
30 cm from the camera lens.
Clean the camera lens regularly using
a soft cloth.
