Operating fault
The front parking sensors are triggered when
an obstacle is detected in front, a gear isengaged (position Dfor vehicles with a CVT gearbox) and the speed of the vehicle remains
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than five seconds
in for ward
gear, if no fur ther obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Remember to deactivate the system if towing a trailer or caravan.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure thatthe sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When the vehicle is moving at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer tain soundsources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event o
f an problem, when reverse gear
is engaged this lamp in the button flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal.This supplements the audiblesignal by displaying bars in the screen, in front of or behind the
vehicle.If one of the sensors is fault
y, it
flashes in the instrument panel
screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop. Th
ese bars flash at the start of the manoeuvrethen become fixed from a certain distance between the vehicle and the obstacle.
