have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. The defl ation detection system is a
driving aid, but which does not ab-
solve the driver from the need to be
vigilant and responsible.
This system does not dispense
with the requirement to check
the tyres on a regular basis (see
"Identifi cation markings") to ensure
optimum vehicle behaviour and to
avoid premature tyre wear under
certain conditions (high load, high
speed).
Do not forget to check the tyre
pressure of the spare wheel .
Any repair or replacement of a tyre
on a wheel that is equipped with
a sensor must be carried out by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
The system may suffer from tem-
porary interference caused by
electro-magnetic transmissions on
frequencies close to that use by
the system .
)
If you have fi tted wheels that
are not equipped with tyre defl a-
tion detection (wheels with snow
tyres, etc.), contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

DRIVING
LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING SYSTEM
System which detects the involun-
tary crossing of longitudinal traffi c
lane markings on the ground (solid
or broken line).
Sensors, fi tted below the front
bumper, trigger a warning if the vehi-
cle drifts over a lane marking (speed
higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on
motorways and main roads.
Activation
)
Press this button, the indicator
lamp comes on.
Deactivation
)
Press this button again, the indi-
cator lamp goes off.
The status of the system remains
in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.
Detection
You are warned by the vibration of
the driver's seat cushion:
- on the right-hand side, if the
marking on the ground has been
crossed on the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the mark-
ing on the ground has been
crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for
approximately 20 seconds after the
direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direc-
tion marking (e.g. arrow) or non-stand-
ard marking (e.g. graffi ti) is crossed.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction, the
service warning lamp comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop. The lane departure warning sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
The detection may be impeded:
- if the sensors are dirty (mud,
snow...),
- if the markings on the ground
are worn,
- if there is little contrast between
the markings on the ground and
the road surface.

PARKING SPACE SENSOR
System which measures the park-
ing 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
necessary for your manoeuvring,
- the level of diffi culty of the ma-
noeuvre 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
The parking space sensor function
warning lamp can have three differ-
ent states:
- off:
the function is not selected,
- on fi xed:
the function is selected
but the conditions for measuring
are not yet met (direction indi-
cator not operating, speed too
high) or the measurement is ter-
minated.
- fl ashing:
measurement is in
progress or the message is be-
ing displayed.
You can select the "parking space sen-
sor" function by pressing button A. The
fi xed illumination of the warning lamp
indicates that the function is selected.
During the measurement, the mes-
sage "Measurement in progress -
Vmax 20 km/h (12 mph)" is displayed
in the instrument panel screen.

DRIVING
Operation
You have identifi ed a parking space:
)
Press button A
to select the func-
tion.
)
Activate the direction indicator
on the side where the space is to
be measured.
)
During measurement, go for-
ward the length of the space, at
a speed less than 12 mph (ap-
prox. 20 km/h), to prepare for
your manoeuvre.
The system then measures the size
of the space.
)
The system informs you of the
level of diffi culty of the manoeu-
vre via a message in the instru-
ment panel screen accompanied
by an audible signal.
)
Depending on the message is-
sued by the system, you may or
may not be able to perform the
manoeuvre. The function displays the following
types of message:
Parking YES
Parking
DIFFICULT
Parking NO
The function deselects itself auto-
matically:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measurement 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
vehicle and the parking space is too
large, the system may not be able to
measure the space.
The function remains available after
each measurement and thus can
measure more than one space dur-
ing your search.
In bad weather conditions or in
winter, make sure that the sensors
are not covered by dirt, or by ice or
snow.
The parking space sensor function
deactivates the front parking sen-
sors during space measurement
when you are in forward gear.
If there is a fault, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.

DRIVING
The parking sensors system can-
not, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance and respon-
sibility on the part of the driver. VISUAL AND AUDIBLE
FRONT AND/OR REAR
PARKING SENSORS
System consisting of proximity sen-
sors, installed in the front and/or rear
bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehi-
cle, tree, barrier...) located in front of
or behind the vehicle, however, it will
not be able to detect obstacles loca-
ted immediately below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the start of
the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
nearer to it. The parking sensors are switched on
:
- by engaging reverse gear,
- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h)
in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and/or displaying of the vehi-
cle on the multifunction screen.
The proximity information is indicated by:
- an audible signal which be-
comes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction
display, with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; front or rear and right
or left.
When the distance between the ve-
hicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous
and/or the "Danger" symbol appears,
depending on the multifunction screen
version.
The parking sensors are switched
off
:
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than
6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been station-
ary for more than three seconds in
forward gear.
Deactivation
)
Press button A
, the warning lamp
comes on, the system is fully de-
activated.
The system will be deactivated au-
tomatically when a trailer is being
towed or when a bicycle carrier is
fi tted (vehicle fi tted with a towbar
or bicycle carrier recommended by
CITROËN).

Reactivation
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty.
When the speed of the vehicle is
below about 6 mph (10 km/h), some
sources of noise (motorcycle, lorry,
pneumatic drill, ...) may trigger the
audible parking sensor signals.
)
Press button A
again, the warning
lamp switches off, the system is
reactivated.
REVERSING CAMERA (TOURER)
A reversing camera is activated au-
tomatically when reverse gear is en-
gaged.
The colour image is provided in the
navigation screen.
The space between the blue lines
represents the width of your vehicle
except for the door mirrors.
The blue lines represent the general
direction of the vehicle.
The red lines represent a distance
of about 30 cm beyond the edge
of your vehicle's rear bumper. The
audible signal becomes continuous
from this limit.
The green lines represent distances
of about 1 and 2 metres beyond the
edge of your vehicle's rear bumper.
Clean the reversing camera regu-
larly using a sponge and a soft
cloth.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Wheel for temporary use
Your vehicle may be fi tted with a
spare wheel which is different to
those on the vehicle. When fi tting
the spare wheel, it is normal to no-
tice that the wheel bolt washers do
not come into contact with the wheel
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the conical tapering of the wheel
bolt’s shaft.
When refi tting the original wheel,
ensure that the wheel bolt contact
surfaces are clean and in good con-
dition.
Fitting a wheel
)
Fit the wheel on the hub, using
the centring guide. Make sure
that the contact surface between
the hub and the wheel is clean.
)
Screw in the bolts but do not fully
tighten them.
)
Lower the jack and remove it.
)
Tighten the wheel bolts, using
the wheelbrace.
)
Refi t the protectors on the bolts.
)
Return the ground clearance to
the normal position.
)
Ensure the tyre pressure is correct
and have the balancing checked.
Under-inflation detection
These wheels have tyre pressure
sensors. Repairs must be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Security bolts (according to
version)
Each wheel is equipped with one se-
curity bolt.
To remove it:
)
Remove the protector using tool 3
.
)
Use the security socket with the
wheelbrace.
If your vehicle is fi tted with a
spare wheel of a different size
to those on the vehicle, you
must not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h)
whilst using the spare wheel.
The wheel bolts are specifi c to the
type of wheel.
If the type of wheel is changed,
check with your CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop that the
wheel bolts are compatible with the
new wheels.
Take care to note down the code
number engraved on the head of
the security bolt socket. This will
enable you to obtain a replace-
ment security bolt socket from your
dealer.
