PARKING SENSORS  
Rear parking sensors  
This system indicates the proximity  
of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree,  
gate, etc.) which comes within the  
eld of detection of sensors located  
in the bumper.  
Certain types of obstacle (stake,  
roadworks cone, etc.) detected ini-  
tially will no longer be detected at  
the end of the manoeuvre due to the  
presence of blind spots.  
The system is switched on by en-  
gaging reverse gear. This is accom-  
panied by an audible signal.  
The system is switched off when you  
exit reverse gear.  
Visual assistance  
This supplements the audible signal  
by displaying bars in the multifunc-  
tion screen which move progressive-  
ly nearer to the vehicle. When the  
obstacle is near, the "Danger" sym-  
bol is also displayed in the screen.  
Audible assistance  
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 or left) indicates the side on  
which the obstacle is located.  
When the distance between the  
vehicle and the obstacle becomes  
less than approximately thirty centi-  
metres, the audible signal becomes  
continuous.  
This function cannot, in any circum-  
stances, take the place of the vigi-  
lance and responsibility of the driver.

The sound emitted by the speaker  
(front or rear) indicates whether the  
obstacle is in front or behind.  
Front parking sensors  
Operating fault  
In addition to the rear parking sen-  
sors, the front parking sensors are  
triggered when an obstacle is detect-  
ed in front and the speed of the ve-  
hicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).  
In the event of a malfunction  
of the system, when reverse  
gear is engaged this warn-  
ing lamp is displayed in the  
instrument panel and/or a message  
appears in the screen, accompanied  
by an audible signal (short beep).  
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a  
qualied workshop.  
The front parking sensors are inter-  
rupted if the vehicle stops for more  
than three seconds in forward gear,  
if no further obstacles are detected  
or when the speed of the vehicle ex-  
ceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).  
Deactivation/Activation of the  
front and rear parking sensors  
The function is deactivated by press-  
ing this button. The indicator lamp in  
the button comes on.  
Pressing this button again reacti-  
vates the function. The indicator  
lamp in the button goes off.  
In bad weather or in winter, ensure  
that the sensors are not covered  
with mud, ice or snow. When re-  
verse gear is engaged, an audible  
signal (long beep) indicates that  
the sensors may be dirty.

When the vehicle is moving at a  
speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer-  
tain sound sources (motorcycle,  
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trig-  
ger the audible signals of the park-  
ing sensor system.  
The function will be deactivated au-  
tomatically if a trailer is being towed  
or a bicycle carrier is tted (vehicle  
tted with a towbar or bicycle car-  
rier recommended by CITROËN).
