The assisted parking manoeuvre is in
progress. Without exceeding 3 mph(5 km/h), move for wards and backwards,
aided by the warnings from the "Parking sensors" system, until the indication of the end of the manoeuvre.
The manoeuvre is complete when the vehicle'sfront wheels are clear of the parking space.
At the end of the manoeuvre, the indicator lamp
in the instrument panel goes off, accompanied
by a message and an audible signal.
The assistance is deactivated: you can take over control.

activate the function.
This indicator lamp comes on in
the instrument panel to confirm the
activation of the function.
) Operate the direction indicator on the
parking side chosen to activate the
measurement function. You should drive at a distance of between 0.5 m and 1.5 m from the row of parked vehicles.
) Drive slowly following the instructions until
the system finds a free space.
)
Move for wards slowly until a message is
displayed, accompanied by an audiblesignal, asking you to engage reverse gear.
or
) Limit the speed of the vehicle to

bay " on the touch screen tablet.

When several successive bays are found, the vehicle will be directed towards the last one.

Driving

During a bay parking manoeuvre, thePark Assist system is automaticallydeactivated once the rear of the vehicle is within 50 cm of an obstacle.
) Select reverse, release the steerin
g wheeland star t moving without exceeding 5 mph (8 km/h).
)The assisted parking manoeuvre is in progress.
Without exceeding 5 mph (8 km/h), follow
the instructions displayed in the instrumentpanel, aided by the warnings from the"Parking sensors" system, until the indication of the end of the manoeuvre. At the end of the manoeuvre, the operatin
gindicator lamp goes out in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message and an audible
signal. The assistance is deactivated: you can takeover control.



During parking and exit fromparking manoeuvres, the reversingcamera function may come intooperation. It facilitates monitoring of the surroundings of the vehicle,by displaying additional information in the instrument panel (see thecorresponding section).

Driving
The system is deactivated automatically:


- on switching off the ignition,

- if the engine stalls,

- if no manoeuvre is star ted within 5 minutes
of selection of the t
ype of manoeuvre,

- after a prolonged stop of the vehicle during a manoeuvre,

- if the road wheel anti-spin regulation (ASR) is triggered,

- if the speed of the vehicle exceeds thestated limit,

- when the driver interrupts movement of the steering wheel,

- if the driver presses the Park Assist control.

- after 4 manoeuvre c
ycles,

- on opening the driver's door,

- if one of the front wheels encounters anobstacle.
The operation indicator lamp goes off in the
instrument panel and a message is displayed
accompanied b
y an audible signal.
The driver should then take back control of thevehicle's steering.


Deactivation


If the system is deactivated during a manoeuvre, the drive should reactivate it manually to repeat the measurement.
The s
ystem is switched off automatically:
- when towing a trailer,
- if the driver's door is opened,
- if the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph(70 km/h).
To switch the system of for a prolonged period, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

In the event of a fault with the system,
this warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and a messa
ge appears,
accompanied b
y an audible signal.
Operating faults
In the event of a fault with the power steering, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel accompanied by an aler t message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Switching off

If the lateral distance between your vehicle and the space is too great, the system maynot be able to measure the space.
Anything projecting beyond the envelopeof the vehicle (long or wide load) is not taken into account by the Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure thatthe sensors are not covered by road dir t, ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the systemchecked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The indicator lamp
for the function flashes for a few seconds.
If the fault occurs during the use of
the system, the indicator lamp goesoff.

Visibility








Cornering lighting
With dipped or main beams, this system makes use of the beam from a front foglamp to
illuminate the inside of a bend, when the vehicle speed is below 25 mph (approximately 40 km/h)(urban driving, winding road, intersections, parking manoeuvres...).w
ith cornering lighting
without cornering lighting

Switching on

This system starts:


- when the corresponding direction indicator
is switched on,
or

- from a cer tain angle of rotation of the steering wheel.


Switching off

The system does not operate:


- below a cer tain angle of rotation of thesteering wheel,

- above 25 mph (40 km/h),

- when reverse gear is engaged.

The cornering lighting can be activated or deactivated in the "Driving assistance menu"menu, then "Vehicle settings".

Horn
Audible warning system to alert other road
users to an imminent danger.)Press the central part of the steering

Safety








Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
The system continuously monitors thepressures on the four tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever
y time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed. The system triggers an aler t as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system does not replace the vigilance or theresponsibility of the driver. This system does not avoid the need tocheck the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) every month as well as before a long journey. Driving with under-inflated tyres impairsroad holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear,particularly under arduous condition(high loading, high speed, long journey). S
ystem which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.

The inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the tyrepressure label (see the "Identificationmarkings" section). Tyre pressures should be checkedwhen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderatespeeds). Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.

Driving with under-inflated tyresincreases fuel consumption.

Safety

Under-inflation alert
Reinitialisation
This is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied byan audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
A label reminds you of the need to reinitialise
the system every time one or more tyre
pressure is adjusted, and after changing one or
more wheels.
)Reduce speed immediately, avoidexcessive steering movements and sudden
braking .)Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to do so.
) In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),or ) if you have a compressor, such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold, or )
if it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.



The loss of pressure detected does not always cause visible bulging of the tyre. Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual check. The aler t is maintained until the system is reinitialised.
