Proximity sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers of your vehicle.
When manoeuvring, whether for-wards or in reverse, at a speed below approx. 6 mph, they warn you of the presence of any obstacle situ-ated within their detection zone, by means of:
- a sound signal emitted by the front or rear loudspeakers,
- the display of the outline of your vehicle with shading at the zones where obstacles are detected.
As the vehicle approaches an obsta-cle, the sound signal tells you its position according to whether the sound issues from the front LH or RH speaker or from the rear LH or RH speaker.
NaviDrive version
Screen C version
- As the vehicle gets close to the obstacle, the sound signal becomes ever more rapid and the shading appears ever closer to your vehicle’s outline.
- When the obstacle is less than around 25 centimetres from the vehicle, the signal becomes con-tinuous and a WARNING panel appears on the display.
Activation/Deactivation
You can activate/deactivate the parking assistance with a press on control 1. If the parking assistance is inactive, the warning lamp is on.
Activation or deactivation of the parking assistance is memorised when you stop the vehicle.
Note: The system is deactivated automatically if a trailer is attached to the vehicle.

P R A C T I C A L A D V I C E
If a metal object makes a contact between the two battery terminals or between the battery + and the bodywork, this causes a short-circuit (risk of fi r e a n d s e r i o u s b u r n s ) .
The battery releases minute quantities of hydrogen, a gas which is explosive under certain conditions. Never use a fl a m e o r c r e a t e s p a r k s c l o s e t o the battery.
The battery contains dilute sulphuric acid which is highly corrosive:
When handling batteries, always protect your face and especially your eyes.
In the event of any contact with the skin, rinse immedi-ately with copious amounts of fresh water.Refer to a CITROËN dealer for battery replacements.

RADIO SOURCE
Notes on radio reception
Your radio will be subject to certain phenomena that are not encountered by domestic systems.The reception of AM and FM signals may suffer from interference, which is caused by the nature and propagation of the signals and does n o t r e fl e c t o n t h e q u a l i t y o f y o u r r a d i o installation.In AM, the reception may be affected when passing under power lines or bridges, or when travelling through tunnels.In FM mode, the reception may be affected by the distance from the s t a t i o n t r a n s m i t t e r , t h e r e fl e c t i n g o f signals off obstacles (mountains, hills, tower blocks) and radio blackspots (no coverage from the station transmitter).
Selection of radio source
Press button D to select the source.
Selection of frequencies and memory banks
Press button E successively to go t h r o u g h t h e m e m o r y b a n k s F M 1 , F M 2 and FM3, for the FM waveband, and the memory banks MW/LW, for the AM waveband.
Manual search
Manual seearch is via buttons Jor M.By keeping button J or M pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. Scrolling will stop as soon as you release the button. The radio will remain tuned to the frequency that is displayed.
Tuning sensitivity
Automatic searches can be carried out according to two levels of sensitivity:- To capture the most powerful transmitters, choose the local search mode "LO" (default option).
- To capture the weakest or most distant transmitters, choose the sensitive search mode "DX".
S e a r c h f o r a s t a t i o n i s d o n e fi r s t i n "LO" (local) sensitivity, then in "DX" (distant) sensitivity.To commence a search in sensitivity "DX" (distant) immediately, press twice in succession on one of the buttons K or N.
Automatic search
A short press on one of the buttons K or N will tune into higher or lower radio stations respectively, within the chosen waveband.By keeping button K or N pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. The scrolling will stop a t t h e fi r s t s t a t i o n i t fi n d s o n c e t h e button is released.You can also do this by means of control 2 at the steering wheel.If the automatic search is unable to tune into a known frequency (perhaps owing to very weak reception), it is p o s s i b l e t o s e a r c h m a n u a l l y t o fi n d this station.
Display and selection of a station available in the area in which you are travelling
B r i e fl y p r e s s o n b u t t o n G to bring up a list of stations, this is updated every 10 minutes.You can also update this list at any time by giving a long press on button G.To listen to one of these stations, select by pressing buttons J or Mand validate using button L.

Automatic memorisation of transmitters (Autostore function)
In FM, if you hold down button Efor more than two seconds, your radio will automatically memorise the 6 strongest stations on the FM3 memory bank.The display shows "FM AST".The radio memorises the 6 strongest transmitters, deleting the 6 previously memorised.After the memorisation, the radio goes directly to memory 1 of memory bank FM3.
Note:
- I f t h e t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n f u n c t i o n has been activated (see RDS SYSTEM), the stations offering this facility will be memorised as priority.
If it is unable to memorise any new stations, the system will retain the previously memorised stations.
- I f t h e s y s t e m i s u n a b l e t o fi n d 6 s t a t i o n s , t h e u n fi l l e d m e m o r y s l o t s will remain free.
Recall of pre-set stations
Press button E b r i e fl y t o s e l e c t t h e required waveband and memory bank.A short press on one the pre-selection buttons 1 to 6 on the keypad P recalls the corresponding memorised station. You can also do this using the control 3 at the steering wheel.If it is a RDS station, the frequency appears some seconds before the name appears.For RDS stations, recall of a station may prompt a search for a frequency corresponding to the region where you happen to be (see RDS system).

Regional search mode
Some stations, when they are organised in networks, broadcast regional programmes at certain times of day, and national programmes at other times.It is possible to search:- Either for a regional station only.
- Or across the whole network i n o r d e r t o fi n d a d i f f e r e n t programme.
To activate/deactivate this function, proceed as for Scanning of RDS stations.
Note:
When this mode is activated, the system will remain tuned to one s p e c i fi c r e g i o n a l s t a t i o n .
T A t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n ( t r a f fi c announcements)
Some stations allow broadcasting, only in FM, of these messages thanks to the "TA" function.You can activate the "TA" function by pressing on button I. This allows you, even though you are listening to another audio source or to a radio programme not itself providing t r a f fi c m e s s a g e s , t o r e c e i v e t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n fl a s h e s f r o m a n F M station which broadcasts them.
While the messages are being broadcast the original source is paused and when the messages have ended your radio will automatically revert to the music programme you were listening to.Note:- You have to be in FM wave band.
- The station being listened to should indicate via the RDS system that it b r o a d c a s t s t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n .
- Stations organised in a network (EON) have regional transmitters that send their own programmes: while you are listening to one of these stations the system will switch automatically to a station on the network that is broadcasting t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n .
- You can stop listening to a message by pressing button I.
Sound volume adjustment for t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n
T h e s o u n d v o l u m e f o r t r a f fi c information operates separately from that for the rest of the system, and can be adjusted independently.Rotate button A w h i l e a t r a f fi c information message is being broadcast.This volume adjustment is memorised.
