This system indicates the proximity of an 
obstacle (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, gate) 
which comes within the field of detection of 
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (e.g. 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.
Parking sensors
This system cannot in any 
circumstances replace the need for 
vigilance on the part of the driver.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.
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-hand 
or left-hand) 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.
Rear parking sensors
This supplements the audible signal by 
displaying bars in the screen or the instrument 
panel which move progressively nearer to 
the vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the 
"Danger" symbol is displayed.

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front 
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle 
is in front or behind.The system will be deactivated 
automatically if a trailer is being 
towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on 
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar 
installed in line with the manufacturer's 
recommendations).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.
As an 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 remains 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 parking sensors can be deactivated in the 
touch screen.

Reversing camera
Clean the reversing camera regularly 
using a soft, dry cloth.
The reversing camera is activated automatically 
when reverse gear is engaged.
Depending on version, the image is displayed 
in the touch screen or the instrument panel.
The superimposed representation of guide 
lines helps with the manoeuvre.The blue lines represent the general direction 
of the vehicle (the difference corresponds to 
the width of your vehicle without the mirrors).
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 turquoise blue curves represent the 
maximum turning circle.
The reversing camera cannot in any 
circumstances replace the need for 
vigilance on the part of the driver. Opening the tailgate causes the display 
to disappear.
The reversing camera function may be 
supplemented by parking sensors.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not 
direct the lance within 30 cm of the 
camera lens. 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 (e.g. other 
vehicles).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
It is normal to be able to see part of the 
number plate at the bottom of the screen.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with 
parking. It detects a parking space then 
operates the steering to park in the space.
It operates the steering while the driver 
manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and 
clutch (manual gearbox). 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. It may be necessary to move for wards 
and backwards more than once.During a manoeuvre, the steering 
wheel turns quickly: do not hold the 
steering wheel, do not place your 
hands between the spokes of the 
steering wheel and take care with 
loose and bulky clothing (scarves, ties, 
handbags...) - Risk of injury!
When Park Assist is activated, it 
prevents a change to STOP mode of 
Stop & Start. In STOP mode, activation 
of Park Assist restarts the engine.
This manoeuvring assistance system 
cannot, in any circumstances, replace 
the need for vigilance on the part of the 
driver.
The driver must remain in control of their 
vehicle ensuring that the space remains 
clear throughout the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may 
not detect small obstacles located in 
their blind spots.
The driver can take control at any time by 
gripping the steering wheel. The Park Assist system provides assistance for 
the following manoeuvres:
A.
 E
ntry into a parallel parking space
B.
 E
xit from a parallel parking space
C.
 B
ay parkingThe Park Assist system takes control 
of the power steering for a maximum 
of 4 manoeuvre cycles. The function 
is deactivated after these 4 cycles. 
If you think that your vehicle is not 
positioned correctly, you should then 
take control of the steering to carry out 
the manoeuvre.
The Park Assist system cannot work 
with the engine off.

The sequence of manoeuvres and the 
driving instructions are displayed in the 
instrument panel.You should always check the 
surroundings of your vehicle before 
starting a manoeuvre.
The assistance is 
deactivated: the display of 
this symbol indicates that 
the steering manoeuvres 
are no longer controlled by 
the system: you must take 
control of the steering. The assistance is 
activated: the display of this 
symbol and a speed limit 
indicate that the steering 
manoeuvres are controlled 
by the system: do not touch 
the steering wheel. The parking sensors function is 
not available during parking space 
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.

Operating faults
In the event of a fault with the power 
steering, this warning lamp flashes in 
the instrument panel, accompanied 
by a message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Switching off
If the lateral distance between your 
vehicle and the space is too great, the 
system may not be able to measure the 
space.
Anything projecting beyond the envelope 
of the vehicle (a ladder on the roof, for 
example) is not taken into account by the 
Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that 
the sensors are not covered by road 
dirt, ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system 
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
If the system is deactivated during a 
manoeuvre, the drive should reactivate 
it to repeat the measurement. In the event of a fault, this warning 
lamp flashes for a few seconds, 
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the fault occurs during the use 
of the system, the warning lamp 
goes
 
off. High pressure jet washing

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four 
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four 
wheel speed sensors with reference values, 
which must be reinitialised ever y time the 
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel 
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it 
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one 
or more tyres. The under-inflation detection system 
does not replace the need for vigilance 
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to 
check the tyre pressures (including the 
spare wheel) every month as well as 
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs 
road holding, extends braking distances 
and causes premature tyre wear, 
particularly under arduous conditions 
(high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for 
your vehicle can be found on the tyre 
pressure label.
For more information on the 
Identification markings, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Driving with under-inflated tyres 
increases fuel consumption. Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the 
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 
1
  hour or after a journey of less than 
6
  miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures 
shown on the label.
