exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).




Remember to deactivate the system if
towing a trailer or caravan.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.

below 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sound
sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, etc.) may trigger the audible
signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event of an problem, when reverse gear
is engaged this lamp in the button flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal. This supplements the audible
signal by displaying bars in the
screen, in front of or behind the
vehicle. If one of the sensors is faulty, it
flashes in the instrument panel
screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. These bars flash at the start of the manoeuvre
then become fixed from a certain distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle.
