EXTERIOR


Parking sensors
This system measures the size of a
free parking space between two ve-
hicles or obstacles.



175

Stop & Start system
This system puts the engine temporar-
ily on standby during stops in the traf-
fi c (traffi c lights, traffi c jams, etc...). The
engine restarts automatically as soon
as you want to move off. The Stop &
Start system allows reductions of fuel
consumption and exhaust emissions,
as well as noise levels when stationary.



163

Welcome lighting
This additional exterior and interior light-
ing, controlled remotely, makes your
approach to the vehicle easier when the
light is poor.



104


Directional lighting
This lighting automatically provides
additional visibility when cornering.



106

Cornering lighting
At low speed, this lighting automati-
cally provides additional visibility
when cornering, at junctions, when
parking... making use of the corre-
sponding front foglamp.

PARKING SPACE SENSORS


System which measures the parking
space available between two vehicles
or obstacles. It measures the size of the
space and gives you information on:


- the possibility of fi tting into a free
space, depending on the dimensions
of your vehicle and the distances
needed for manoeuvring,

- the level of diffi culty of the manoeuvre
to be performed.
The system does not measure spaces
which are clearly much smaller or larger
than the size of the vehicle.

Displays in the instrument panel



- on fi xed:
the function is selected by
a press on control A
.

- off:
the function is not selected,
The parking space sensor
function warning lamp can
have two different states:

Operation

You have identifi ed a parking space:


)
Press button A
to select the function.

)
Operate the direction indicator on
the side where the space is to be
measured; a message is displayed
to confi rm that measurement is in
progress.

)
During measurement, go forward
the length of the space, at a speed
less than 12 mph (approx. 20 km/h),
to prepare for your manoeuvre.

)
Once the measurement has been
completed, the system informs you
of the level of diffi culty of the ma-
noeuvre by a message in the multi-
function screen accompanied by an
audible signal.

The function displays the following types
of message:

Parking possible


Parking diffi cult


Parking not advised

The function deselects itself automati-
cally:


- when you engage reverse gear,

- when you switch off the ignition,

- if measuring is not requested,

- within fi ve 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 ve-
hicle and the parking space is too large,
the system may not be able to measure
the space.
If there is a fault, have the sys-
tem checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

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 dirt, ice or
snow.
The parking space sensor system de-
activates the front parking sensors
when measuring forwards.
