The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1.2 & 2.5 Audio Layer 3, is an audio compression standard which permits the recording of several tens of music fi les on a single disc. The playing and displaying of an MP3 compilation m ay depend on the recording programme and/or the parameters used. In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording select standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may not be played correctly. It is recommended that the same recording standard is always used for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible for optimum sound quality. In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is recommended.
The audio equipment will only play fi les with the extension ".mp3". No other type of fi le (.wma, .mp4...) can be played.
It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters without using special characters (e.g.: " " ? ; ù) to avoid any p laying or displaying problems.

FRONT AND/OR REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE
If fi tted 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 fi eld: 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 system does not take the place of
the vigilance and responsibility of the
driver. Switching the system on
The system is activated as soon as:
- reverse gear is engaged,
- the speed falls below 6 mph
(10 km/h) in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and displaying of the vehicle,
depending on the display.
The proximity information is given by:
- an audible signal, which becomes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a graphic on the display, with blocks which become progressively
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal from
the speakers, front or rear and right or
left. Switching the system off
Press the button again to re-activate
the system. The indicator light on the
button switches off.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, frost or snow.
In this case (e.g. sensors dirty), when
reverse gear is engaged, the indicator
light fl ashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
display.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Deactivation
Press the button on the
fascia to deactivate the
system (to avoid waking a
child...). The indicator light on
the button comes on.
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).
Re-activation
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.
This function will be deactivated
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle
carrier is fi tted (vehicle fi tted with
towing attachment or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN ).

Driving safety
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure during
driving, and trigger a warning in the
event of a malfunction (speed greater
than approx.15 mph [25 km/h]) or
puncture.
An outline representing one or more
wheels fl ashing indicates the location
of the wheel or wheels concerned. Flat tyre
The SERVICE warning light
comes on, accompanied
by the message "Tyre(s)
defl ated" , an outline on the display,
and an audible signal.
Check the tyre pressure as soon as
possible. If the damaged tyre is temporarily
stored in the boot, it will again emit
this message to remind you of the
necessity of having it repaired. This will
prevent another warning of the same
type being displayed.
Sensor(s) not detected
The SERVICE warning light
comes on, accompanied
by the message "X tyre
pressure sensor(s) missing" , an
outline on the display and an audible
signal.
Under-infl ation detection is absent
from one (or several) tyre(s). Consult a
CITROËN dealer to replace the faulty
sensor(s). This message is also displayed
when one of the tyres is away
from the vehicle (being repaired)
or when a wheel without a sensor is
fi tted.
All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel fi tted with this
system must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer .

The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is a driving aid which does
not take the place of vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
This system does not remove the
need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (including the spare
wheel), to ensure that the dynamic
performance of the vehicle remains
at its best and to avoid premature wear
of the tyres, in particular in the case
of arduous driving (heavy load, high
speed).
The system may temporarily be
disturbed by radio broadcasts on a
frequency close to it.
Puncture
The STOP warning light
comes on, accompanied
by the message

"Punctured tyre(s)" , an outline on the
display and an audible signal.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and
the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured or
very defl ated) tyre, and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.
Refer to the "Changing a wheel"
section of chapter 8.
