I

n   either   case,   apply   the   parking   brake   to  
i

mmobilise   the   vehicle,   unless   it   is   programmed

If the lever is not in position P ,
  on   opening   the  
d

river's   door   or   approximately   45   seconds   after  
s

Operating fault
Whenever parking, you must apply the parking brake   to   immobilise   the   vehicle,   if   automatic  
o

peration   has   been   deactivated.
Parking the vehicle
In all circumstances, ensure that the gear   selector   is   in   position   P before
leaving
  your   vehicle. In the event of a fault with the
gearbox,
  the   service   warning   lamp  
c

omes   on   in   the   instrument   panel,  
a

ccompanied   by   a   message   and   an  
a

udible
 s
ignal.
In   this   case   the   gearbox   goes   into   back-up  
m

ode   and   stays   in   3
rd gear. You may then feel a n
oticeable
 
jolt
 
when
 
going   from   P to R   and   from  
N

to R .
 
This
 
jolt
 
does
  not   present   any   risk   to   the  
g

earbox.
Do
 
not
 
exceed
 
60

Have
 
it
 
checked
 
by
 
a
  CITROËN   dealer   or   a

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

f   the   power   steering   for   a   maximum  
o

f   4   manoeuvre   cycles.   The   function  
i

s   deactivated   after   these   4   cycles.  
I

f   you   think   that   your   vehicle   is   not  
p
