Parking sensors

SAFETY
4

The audible and/or visual rear parking
sensor system 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.

Activation/Deactivation

REAR PARKING SENSORS


Display in the screen
You can activate or deactivate
the system by pressing this
button.
The activation or deactivation
of the system is stored when the vehicle
stops.


Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, when reverse
gear is engaged the LED in the button
comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


Good practice

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
The system will be deactivated automatically
if a trailer is being towed or if a bicycle
carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a
towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by
CITROËN).
The parking assistance cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Stop the assistance

Change to neutral.

Towing a trailer
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature. Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle (see the "Identification markings"
section of chapter 8) and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressures.
Towbar

We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
you entrust the fitting of this equipment
to a CITROËN dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general instructions
a reminder of which has been given above,
we draw your attention to the risk associated
with fitting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by CITROËN. Fitting such
equipment could result in the failure of your
vehicle's electronic system. Please obtain
information from the Manufacturer before
fitting this type of equipment. If the coolant temperature warning
lamp comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible.

Good Practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the air conditioning is automatically
cut off to save engine power.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance. Drive
at a moderate speed, change down early
and brake gradually.

Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive
smoothly and at a moderate speed.

ABS/ESP
The ABS or ESP systems only control the
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking sensors
The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.

flat part of the towing eye,

- Fully screw in the removable
towing eye.


Vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox (Diesel version)

In the case of vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox, the gear lever must be in the
neutral position. Failure to observe this
special condition may result in damage
to certain braking components and the
absence of braking assistance the next time
the engine is started.

142
Having your vehicle towed
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle
is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel of the
towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast roads is
prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off,
there is no longer any power assistance
for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call
on a professional recovery service:


- vehicle broken down on a motorway or
fast road,

- when it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,

- towing with only two wheels on the
ground,

- where there is no approved towing bar
available...
