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.

Operation:
- When you engage reverse gear, a sound signal informs you that the system is active. The outline of your vehicle is displayed on the screen. Any obstacles situated at the rear or at the front of the vehi-cle can be detected.
- Moving forward at a speed lower than approx. 10 km/h (6 mph), either in neutral or in a gear, the outline of your vehicle is displayed on the screen immediately an obstacle is detected in front of the vehicle. Obstacles situated at the front of the vehicle can be detected.
When selecting reverse gear, a short audible sig-nal followed by another audible signal, accom-panied by the illumination of the SERVICE warning lamp indicates a malfunction of the system.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Note
- The proximity sensors cannot detect obstacles situated imme-diately below or above the bump-ers.
- A thin object such as a spike or stake, or other similar object, may be detected only at the start of your manoeuvre but not when the vehicle has approached close to it.
- During the winter months or in bad weather, make sure that the sen-sors are not covered by dirt or by ice or snow.

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.

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.

RDS SYTEM
Using the RDS (radio data system) function on FM
The majority of FM radio stations use the RDS system. The radio in your vehicle has this system.The RDS system enables these stations to transmit non-audible data in addition to the broadcasting of their programmes. The data provides access to various functions described in this chapter, such as: display of t h e s t a t i o n n a m e , i n t e r m i t t e n t t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n fl a s h e s o r a u t o m a t i c scanning of stations. This enables you to continue listening to your chosen radio station, regardless of the different frequencies it uses in the regions through which you are travelling.
Scanning of RDS stations
Your radio keeps the best possible reception by continuously looking for any other frequencies on which the selected radio station is broadcast, automatically choosing the frequency offering the best reception (if the station broadcasts on more than one transmitter or frequency).
Activation/deactivation of the RDS functions
The RDS functions can be accessed via the following two menus:- Main menu (press button O).
- AUDIO menu (press button L).
To activate/deactivate the RDS functions on the display C:
1. Press button O.
2. Select the AUDIO icon using buttons J or M.
3. C o n fi r m y o u r c h o i c e w i t h a press on button L.
4. Select the sub-menu for the FM waveband, via buttons J or M. C o n fi r m y o u r c h o i c e w i t h a press on button L.
5. Select scanning for RDS sta-tions, via buttons J or M.
6. Validate your choice with a press on button L.
7. Using control L, select/deselect to activate/deactivate the func-tion.
8. Validate your choice by select-ing "OK" on the display.
To activate/deactivate the RDS functions on the display A:
1. Press button O.
2. Select the AUDIO-CD icon via buttons J or M.
3. Select scanning for RDS sta-tions, via buttons J or M. The system tells you the status (active or inactive) of the func-tion.
4. Modify this status via buttons Kor N.
5. Then please wait for the display to disappear.
Note:
If the RDS function is active:- The "RDS" on the display will light up provided the station being received uses the RDS system with scanning of frequencies.
- The "RDS" on the display is barred if the station received uses the RDS system without frequency search.
If your RDS function is deactivated, the "RDS" on the display will be absent in all cases.The display will indicate the "NAME" for the stations that use the RDS system and the frequency for stations that do not use it.
