Driving -> Rear parking sensors for Your Citroen Ds3 SUV First Generation (2009-2019)

Rear parking sensors  
Activation  
System consisting of four proximity sensors,  
located in the rear bumper.  
This detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,  
tree, gate, etc.) behind the vehicle, except  
obstacles located just below the bumper.  
The system is activated as soon as reverse  
gear is engaged, accompanied by an audible  
signal. The proximity information is given by:  
-
an audible signal, which becomes more  
rapid as the vehicle approaches the  
obstacle.  
-
a graphic (according to version) in the  
multifunction screen, with blocks which  
become increasingly closer to the vehicle.  
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks  
cone or any other similar object may  
be detected at the beginning of the  
manoeuvre, but may no longer be detected  
when the vehicle comes close to it.  
When the distance between the rear of the vehicle  
and the obstacle is less than thirty centimetres, the  
audible signal becomes continuous and the "Danger"  
symbol appears in the multifunction screen.  
On completion of the manoeuvre, when you exit  
reverse gear, the system becomes inactive.  
The parking sensor system cannot in  
any circumstances take the place of  
vigilance on the part of the driver.

Programming  
Operating faults  
You can activate or deactivate the system by  
means of the multifunction screen configuration  
menu. The system state is memorised when  
switching off the ignition.  
For more information on access to the parking  
sensors menu, refer to "Vehicle configuration"  
or "Vehicle parameters" section for your  
multifunction screen.  
If there is an operating fault, when  
reverse gear is engaged this  
warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel,  
accompanied by an audible signal (short beep)  
and a message in the multifunction screen.  
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that  
the sensors are not covered with mud,  
frost or snow.  
The system will be deactivated  
automatically when towing a trailer or  
when a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle  
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier  
recommended by CITROËN).
