HILL START ASSIST (WITH THE 6-SPEED ELECTRONIC GEARBOX SYSTEM)
System which holds your vehicle tem-
porarily (approximately 2 seconds)
when starting on a gradient, the time it
takes to move your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal,
- in particular conditions on a slope,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot
be deactivated. Operation
Operating fault
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, these warning lamps come
on. Contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the system checked.

On an ascending slope, with the
vehicle stationary, the vehicle is
held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal:
- provided you are in A or M on an
electronic gearbox,
On a descending slope, with the
vehicle stationary and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.
do not exit the vehicle while
it is being held in the hill
start assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle with
the engine running, manually apply
the parking brake and ensure that
the warning lamp P (red) on the
instrument panel is permanently on.

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT AND/OR REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
System consisting of four proximity
sensors, installed in the front and/or
rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehi-
cle, tree, barrier ...) located behind the
vehicle, however, it will not be able to
detect obstacles located immediately
below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the start
of the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
nearer to it. The parking assistance is
switched
off :
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been stationary for more than three
seconds in forward gear.
The parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
The parking assistance is
switched
on :
- by engaging reverse gear,
- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and/or displaying of the vehi-
cle on the multifunction screen.
The proximity information is indicated
by:
- an audible signal which becomes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction screen, with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; front or rear and right
or left.
When the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately twenty-fi ve centime-
tres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and/or the "Danger"
symbol appears, depending on the
multifunction screen version.
