HILL START ASSIST (with 6-speed electronic gearbox system)
To aid starting on a gradient, your vehicle is equipped with a system that keeps it temporarily immobi-lised.
It keeps the brakes applied for a brief moment, precisely the time taken for moving 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.
On a descending slope, provided the vehicle is stationary and reverse gear is engaged, the vehi-cle is held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal.
Do not leave the vehicle during the hill start phase.
The hill start function cannot be deactivated.
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.
Display of these warning lamps indi-cates a malfunctioning of the hill start assist function.

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.
