Driving


This section describes the use of the parking brake, the manual,

Stop & Start to help reduce fuel consumption, the speed limiter to
avoid exceeding a programmed speed, cruise control to maintain a
programmed speed, the rear parking sensors to detect obstacles.

Rear parking sensors

System consisting of four proximity sensors,
located in the rear bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
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 manoeuvre,
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it.

The parking sensor system cannot, in
any circumstances, take the place of
the vigilance and responsibility of the
driver. The system is activated as soon as reverse
gear is engaged, accompanied by an audible
signal. 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.


Activation
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.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when you exit
reverse gear, the system becomes inactive.

Programming
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 (shor t beep)
and a message in the multifunction screen. You can activate or deactivate the system by
means of the multifunction screen configuration
menu. The system state is memorised when
switching off the ignition.
For more information on access to the parking
sensors menu, refer to "Configuration/ Vehicle
parameters" in the "Multifunction screens"
section corresponding to your screen.
The system will be deactivated
automatically when towing a trailer or
when a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted 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.
