DRIVING
REAR PARKING SENSORS
System consisting of four proximity sen-
sors, located in the rear bumper.
Activation
This detects any obstacle (person, vehi-
cle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the vehicle,
except obstacles located just below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a
roadworks cone or any other
similar object may be detected
at the beginning of the manoeu-
vre, but may no longer be de-
tected when the vehicle comes
close to it.
The parking sensor system can-
not, in any circumstances, take
the place of the vigilance and re-
sponsibility of the driver. The system is activated as soon as re-
verse gear is engaged, accompanied
by an audible signal.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when
you exit reverse gear, the system be-
comes inactive. The proximity information is given by:


- an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle.

- a graphic (according to version) in
the multifunction screen, with blocks
which become increasingly closer to
the vehicle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
thirty centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous and the "Danger"
symbol appears in the multifunction
screen.

DRIVING
The system will be deactivated
automatically when towing a
trailer or when a bicycle carrier is
fi tted (vehicle fi tted with a towbar
or bicycle carrier recommended
by CITROËN). In bad or wintry weather, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, frost or snow.


Programming

You can activate or deactivate the
system by means of the multifunction
screen confi guration menu. The system
state is memorised when switching off
the ignition.
For more information on access to
the parking sensors menu, refer to
"Confi guration/Vehicle parameters" in
the "Multifunction screens" section cor-
responding to your screen.
Operating faults
If there is an operating fault,
when reverse gear is engaged
this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal (short beep) and a mes-
sage in the multifunction screen.
