Sensors
Mats/Pedal trims

The operation of the sensors, as well as
any associated functions, may be disrupted
by noise pollution such as that emitted by
noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements,
studs) or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’
blind spots may not be detected or may no
longer be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
The use of mats or pedal trims not
approved by CITROËN may interfere with
the operation of the speed limiter or cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
– Ensure that the mat is secured correctly.
– Never fit one mat on top of another.
functions may be impaired or not work if
the windscreen area in front of the camera
is dirty, misty, frosty, covered with snow,
damaged or masked by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (e.g. inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(e.g. headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low
sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a
tunnel, alternating shade and light) can also
impair detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated
driving aids may be disrupted.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed
displayed on the instrument panel (mph
or km/h) are those for the country you are
driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what
is authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s)
displayed on the touch screen or on the
instrument panel may be distorted by the
terrain.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and
with lower contrast.
Road signs recognition
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors
and the field of vision of the cameras
regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away
from the sensors and cameras.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
