Principles
Press the virtual buttons in the touch screen
tablet.
Each  menu   is   displayed   over   one   or   two   pages  
(

primary   page   and   secondary   page).
For reasons of safety, the driver
should only carr y out operations
that require close attention, with the
vehicle stationary.
Some
 
functions
 
are
 
not
 
accessible

This
 
system
 
gives

information.
Recommendations
It is necessary to press firmly, particularly for " flick"   gestures   (scrolling   through   lists,   moving  
t

he
 m
ap...).
A
  light   wipe   is   not   enough.
The
  screen   does   not   recognise   pressing   with  
m

ore   than   one   finger.
This
  technology   allows   use   at   all   temperatures  
a

nd   when   wearing   gloves.
Do
  not   use   pointed   objects   on   the   touch   screen  
t

ablet.

Multifunction screens

201
Parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear.   This   is   accompanied   by   an   audible   signal.
The
  system   is   switched   off   when   you   come   out  
o

f   reverse   gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent   audible   signal,   the   frequency   of   which i

ncreases   as   the   vehicle   approaches   the   obstacle.
The
  sound   emitted   by   the   speaker   (right   or   left)
 i

ndicates   the   side   on   which   the   obstacle   is   located.
When
  the   distance   between   the   vehicle   and
 t

he   obstacle   becomes   less   than   approximately
 t

hirty   centimetres,   the   audible   signal   becomes
 c

ontinuous.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by d isplaying   bars   in   the   multifunction   screen  
w

hich   move   progressively   nearer   to   the   vehicle.  
W

hen   the   obstacle   is   near,   the   "Danger"  
s

ymbol   is   displayed   in   the   screen.
This function cannot, in an y c ircumstances, t
ake   the   place   of   the   vigilance   of   the   driver.
This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle   (person,   vehicle,   tree,   gate, etc.)   which c

omes   within   the   field   of   detection   of   sensors
 l

ocated   in   the   bumper.
Certain
  types   of   obstacle   (stake,   roadworks  
c

one,   etc.)   detected   initially   will   no   longer   be  
d

etected   at   the   end   of   the   manoeuvre   due   to  
t

he   presence   of   blind   spots.

Driving

202
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking   sensors   are   triggered   when   an   obstacle i

s   detected   in   front   and   the   speed   of   the   vehicle   is
 s

till   below   6   mph   (10   km/h).
The
  front   parking   sensors   are   interrupted   if   the
 v

ehicle   stops   for   more   than   three   seconds   in
 f

or ward   gear,   if   no   further   obstacles   are   detected
 o

r   when   the   speed   of   the   vehicle   exceeds   6   mph
 (

10   km/h).
Front parking sensors
Deactivation/Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this button.   The   indicator   lamp   in   the   button  
comes
  on.
Pressing
  this   button   again   reactivates   the  
f

unction.   The   indicator   lamp   in   the   button  
goes
  off.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the   system,   when   reverse   gear  
i

s   engaged   this   warning   lamp   is  
d

isplayed   in   the   instrument   panel  
a

nd/or   a   message   appears   in   the  
s

creen,   accompanied   by   an   audible  
s

ignal   (short   beep).
Contact
  a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
The
 
sound
 
emitted
 
by
 
the
 
speaker
 
(front
 
or
 
r

ear)
 
indicates
 
whether
 
the
 
obstacle
 
is
 
in
 
front
 
o

r
 
behind. The
 
function
 
will
 
be
 
deactivated
 
a

utomatically
 
if
 
a
 
trailer
 
is
 
being
 
towed
 
o

r
 
a
 
bicycle
 
carrier
 
is
 
fitted
 
(vehicle
 
f

itted
 
with
 
a
 
towbar
 
or
 
bicycle
 
carrier
 
r

ecommended
 
by
 
CITROËN). In
 
bad   weather   or   in   winter,   ensure  
t

hat
 
the   sensors   are   not   covered   with  
m

ud,
  ice   or   snow.   When   reverse   gear   is  
e

ngaged,   an   audible   signal   (long   beep)  
i

ndicates   that   the   sensors   may   be   dirty.
Certain
  sound   sources   (motorcycle,  
l

orry,
  pneumatic   drill,   etc.)   may   trigger  
t

he
 
audible   signals   of   the   parking  
s

ensor   system.
Driving

262
F If  the   warning   lamp   and   the  S
TOP  warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top   the   vehicle   and   switch   off  
t

he   engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check   the   tyre   pressures   of   the  
towing   vehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing  
t

he
 re
commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
The
  rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine  
C

ITROËN   towbar   is   used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   
c
oolant  
t

emperature.
