Driving

instrument panel, accompanied by the display

of a message.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

The system may be temporarily

disturbed by certain weather

conditions (e.g. rain, hail).

In particular, driving on a wet road or going

from a dry to a wet area can cause false

alerts (e.g. presence of a cloud of water

droplets in the blind spot interpreted as a

vehicle).

Operating limits

In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the

sensors are not covered by 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

correct operation of the system.

No alert is triggered in the following conditions:

– presence of stationary objects (e.g. parked

vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs).

– vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.

– on winding roads or in case of sharp turns.

– when overtaking or being overtaken by a

very long vehicle (e.g. truck, bus), which is

both detected in a blind spot from behind and

present in the driver's field of vision from the

front.

Parking sensors

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids.

– quick overtaking manoeuvre.

– very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front

and behind are confused with a lorry or a

stationary object.

Malfunction

If the event of a malfunction, this

warning lamp lights up on the

Driving

When the distance between the vehicle and

the obstacle becomes less than about thirty-

five centimetres, the audible signal becomes

continuous.

The sound is emitted by the buzzer of the

instrument panel.

The audible signal is automatically suspended

when the vehicle is stationary for a few

seconds.

The audible signal is automatically restored

when the vehicle approaches again the

obstacle.

For versions without touch screen,

only this warning lamp flashes on the

instrument panel.

Front parking sensors

Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the

front parking sensors are triggered when an

obstacle is detected in front and the speed of

the vehicle is below 6 mph (10 km/h).

Front parking sensor operation is suspended if

the vehicle stops for more than three seconds

in forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer

detected or the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph

(10 km/h).

This system detects and signals the proximity

of obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree,

barrier) using sensors located in the bumper.

Rear parking sensors

System startup is available when reverse gear is

engaged.

Visual assistance

It is indicated by an audible confirmation signal

and a display indication.

If no audible signal is given, the display

indication is not shown or a warning message

appears, the system has a failure.

The sound emitted by the speaker

(front or rear) locates the obstacle

relative to the vehicle, whether in front of or

behind it on its path.

Audible assistance

Deactivation/Activation

This supplements the audible signal, without

taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by

displaying bars on the screen whose location

represents the distance between the obstacle

and the vehicle (green: more distant, yellow:

distant, orange: close, red: very close).

This warning lamp flashes during

(Depending on country of sale)

By default, the audible signal is automatically

activated at each time the reverse gear is

engaged.

The system cannot be manually

deactivated.

The system signals the presence of obstacles

which are within the sensors’ detection zone .

The proximity information is given by an

intermittent audible signal, the frequency of

which increases as the vehicle approaches the

obstacle.

device installed in accordance with the

Manufacturer's recommendations.

The blue lines 1 indicate the general direction of

the vehicle (the gap corresponds to the width

of your vehicle including the mirrors).

The red line 2 represents a distance of about

30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear

bumper.

The green lines 3 represent distances of about 1

and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's

rear bumper.

Reversing camera

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids.

Operating limits

If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may

tilt, affecting distance measurements.

In case of a gearbox failure, the system is not

active, when the reverse gear is engaged.

It is normal to have a part of the number plate

showing at the bottom of the screen.

Malfunction

In case of display or buzzer

malfunction (e.g. frozen image, black

screen), the system may be disturbed or

unavailable.

Clean the reversing camera regularly

using a soft, dry cloth.

In the event of a sensor

malfunction, these warning lamps

light up on the instrument panel, accompanied

by the display of a message and an audible

signal.

The reversing camera is activated automatically

when reverse gear is engaged.

The image is displayed on the touch screen.

In the event of any other malfunction,

this warning lamp lights up on the

instrument panel, accompanied by the display

of a message.

The reversing camera function may be

supplemented by the parking sensors.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

If the front/rear sensors are covered by

dirt, mud, sand, snow, ice or anything

preventing the sensing, stop the vehicle.

The system is operational again after the

detection field has been cleaned.
