Parking assistance
The audible and/or visual rear parking
assistance consists of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper. The
sensors detect any obstacle which enters
the field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre will no longer be detected
at the end of the manoeuvre due to the
blind spots between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post. Engage reverse gear
An audible signal confirms the activation of
the system by engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle. When
the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous.
Stop the assistance
Change to neutral.

In the event of an operating fault, when

the button comes on, accompanied by

sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.

The parking assistance cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.

You are advised to deactivate the system if

the braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures within the CITROËN network are
observed.

checked by a CITROËN dealer.
