Stop & Start

This system puts the engine tempo-
rarily into standby during stops in the
traffi c (red lights, traffi c jams, etc...).
The engine restarts automatically as
soon as you want to move off.
Stop & Start reduces fuel consump-
tion, exhaust emissions and noise
when stationary.

Lane departure warning system

This driving aid warns you when you
unwittingly cross a lane marking.


Parking sensors (visual and
audible)

This system warns you if an obsta-
cle is detected in front of or behind
the vehicle.
Tyre under-infl ation detection

This system checks the pressure of
the tyres automatically while driving.
Xenon dual-function directional
headlamps

This system automatically provides
you with extra visibility on bends.
This lighting is linked with the cor-
nering lighting which maximises the
illuminated area at intersections and
when parking.

sor" by pressing button A
, with the direc-
tion indicator activated on the side of the
space to be measured, a speed lower
than 12 mph (20 km/h) and at a distance
of less than 1.5 metres from the space.
The fi xed illumination of the warning
lamp indicates that the function is se-
lected.

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).

DRIVING

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.
