Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then
c
ontrolling the steering to park in the space.
It
controls the steering while the driver
m
anages the accelerator, brakes, gears and
c
lutch (manual gearbox). During phases of
e
ntry into and exit from a parking space, the
s
ystem provides visual and audible information
t
o the driver in order to make the manoeuvres
s
afe. It may be necessary to move for wards
a
nd backwards more than once. During
a manoeuvre the steering wheel
t
urns quickly: do not hold the steering
w
heel, do not place your hand between
t
he spokes of the steering wheel and
t
ake care with loose and bulky clothing,
s
carves, handbags... There is a risk of
in
jury.
When
Park Assist is activated, it
p
revents a change to STOP mode of
S
top & Start. In STOP mode, activation
o
f Park Assist restarts the engine.
The
Park Assist system cannot in any
c
ircumstances replace the need for
v
igilance on the part of the driver.
The
driver must remain in control
o
f their vehicle ensuring that the
s
pace remains clear throughout the
m
anoeuvre.
In
some circumstances, the sensors
m
ay not detect small obstacles located
i
n their blind spots.
The
driver can take control at any time by
g
ripping the steering wheel. The
Park Assist system provides assistance for t
he following manoeuvres:
A.
e
ntry into a parallel parking space
B.
e
xit from a parallel parking space
C.
b
ay
par
kingThe
Park Assist system takes control
o

o
f 4 manoeuvre cycles. The function
i
s deactivated after these 4 cycles.
I
f you think that your vehicle is not
p
ositioned correctly, you should then
t
ake control of the steering to carry out
t
he manoeuvre.
The
Park Assist system cannot work

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the h
eaviest items are as close as possible to t
he axle and the nose weight approaches the
m
aximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air
density decreases with altitude, thus
r
educing engine per formance. Above
1 0
00 metres, the maximum towed load must
b
e reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
al
titude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
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 coolant
t
emperature. F
I
f 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 v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
Refer
to
the
"Technical
data"
section
for
details
o
f
the
weights
and
towed
loads
which
apply
to
y
our
vehicle.
When
not
towing
a
trailer,
remove
the
q
uickly-detachable
tow
ball
before
d
riving. The
rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine
C
ITROËN towbar is used.
