Parking sensors
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous and the "Danger"
symbol appears depending on the display.
Switching the system off
The system returns to the inactive
status:
-
-
when you exit reverse gear,
when the speed increases to above
6 mph (10 km/h),
-
at the end of the manoeuvre, when
the vehicle becomes stationary
(front parking assistance only).
Deactivation
Press the button on the fascia
to deactivate the system
(to avoid waking a child...).
The indicator light on the
button comes on.
FRONT AND/OR REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE
Switching the system on
This function will be deactivated
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle
carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with
towing attachment or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).
The system is activated as soon as:
-
-
reverse gear is engaged,
the speed falls below 6 mph
(10 km/h) in forward gear.
If fitted on your vehicle, the system is
audible and/or visual and consists of
four proximity sensors, located in the
front and/or rear bumper. The sensors
detect any obstacle which enters
the field: person, vehicle, tree, gate,
located in front of or behind the vehicle
during the manoeuvre.
Objects the size or thickness of which
is detected at the beginning of the
manoeuvre, may no longer be detected
at the end of the manoeuvre: due to
blind spots between and below the
sensors. Examples: stake, roadworks
cone, kerbstone.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and displaying of the vehicle,
depending on the display.
RE-ACTIVATION
Press the button again to re-activate
the system. The indicator light on the
button switches off.
The proximity information is given by:
-
an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
In bad or wintry weather, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, frost or snow.
-
a graphic on the display, with
blocks which become progressively
closer to the vehicle.
In this case (e.g. sensors dirty), when
reverse gear is engaged, the indicator
light flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
display.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal from
the speakers, front or rear and right
or left.
This system does not take the place of
the vigilance and responsibility of the
driver.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
