The function displays the following types of message:
The function deselects itself automatically:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measuring is not requested,
- within five minutes of selection of the
function,
- if the vehicle speed exceeds the
threshold of 45 mph (approx. 70 km/h) for
one minute.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle and
the parking space is too large, the system may
not be able to measure the space.
The system remains available after each
measurement and can therefore measure
several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are free of dir t, ice or snow.
The parking space sensor system deactivates
the front parking sensors when measuring
forwards.
Parking possible
Parking difficult
Parking not advised
If there is a fault, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which
comes within the field of detection of sensors
located in the bumper.
Cer tain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.
This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit
reverse gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger"
symbol is also displayed in the screen.

Front parking sensors
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of
the system, when reverse gear
is engaged this warning lamp
is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a
message appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (shor t beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front
parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle
is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three 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).
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dir ty.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer tain sound
sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, etc.) may trigger the audible
signals of the parking sensor system.
Deactivation/Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this button.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button goes
off.
The sound emitted by the speaker
(front or rear) indicates whether the
obstacle is in front or behind.

The spare wheel is installed in the boot under
the floor.
Depending on version, the spare wheel may be
a standard size steel or alloy wheel, or for some
countries it is the "space saver" type.
For access to the spare wheel, refer to the
paragraph "Access to the tools" on the previous
page.
Access to the spare wheel
Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
The spare wheel is not fitted with a
sensor. The punctured wheel must
be repaired by a CITROËN dealer or
aqualified workshop.
Taking out the standard wheel
)
Unscrew the yellow central bolt.
)
Raise the spare wheel towards you from
the rear.
)
Take the wheel out of the boot.

Changing the side spotlamps
For the replacement of this type of LED lamp,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Changing the LED lamps/sidelamps
For the replacement of this type of LED lamp,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Changing foglamp bulbs
)
Introduce a flat screwdriver in the hole in
the finisher.
)
Pull and lever to unclip the bumper finisher
(the parking sensor stays with the finisher).
)
Remove the two module fixing screws and
remove it from its housing.
)
Disconnect the bulb holder connector.
)
Turn the bulb holder a quar ter of a turn and
extract it.
)
Pull the bulb and change it.
To refit, carry out these operations in reverse
order.
To replace these bulbs you may also contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

277Practical information
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine per formance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
)
To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer.
)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
