HILL START ASSIST (WITH THE 6-SPEED ELECTRONIC GEARBOX SYSTEM)
System which holds your vehicle
temporarily (approximately 2 sec-
onds) when starting on a gradient,
the time it takes to move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accel-
erator pedal.
This function is only active when :
- the vehicle is completely station-ary, 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 oc-
curs, 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 re-
lease 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 in-
strument 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, ve-
hicle, tree, barrier...) located behind
the vehicle, however, it will not be
able to detect obstacles located im-
mediately below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject 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 sta- tionary for more than three sec-
onds in forward gear.
The parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, re-
place 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 indicat-
ed by:
- an audible signal which be- comes 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 ve-
hicle 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.
