Rear parking sensors System comprising four proximity sensors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects obstacles
(person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the vehicle. However, itcannot detect obstacles located just below thebumper. Activation
The system is activated as soon as reverse gear is engaged, accompanied by an audiblesignal. The proximity information is given by:
- an audible signal, which becomes more
rapid as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle,
- a
graphic in the multifunction screen, with
blocks which become increasingly closer to
the vehicle (depending on version).
Detection zone

When the distance between the rear of thevehicle and the obstacle is less than thirtycentimetres, the audible signal becomescontinuous and the "Danger" symbol appears
in the multifunction screen.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when you exit
reverse gear, the system becomes inactive. An object, such as a stake, a roadworks cone or any other similar object may be detected at the beginning of themanoeuvre, but may no longer be detected when the vehicle comes close to it.
The parking sensors system cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of thedriver.

Fitting roof bars
To fit longitudinal and/or transverse roof bars, visit your CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Maximum authorised weight on the roof rack: 60 kg. If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed of the vehicle to the profile of the road to avoid
damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the roof. Be sure to refer to national legislation in order to comply with the regulations for transporting objects which are longer than the vehicle.


Braking

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Tyres

Lighting
)Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.



The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
