F To deactivate the system, press this button again; the warning lamp goes off.
The state of the system remains in memory on
switching off the ignition. In the event of a fault, the warning lamp in the
button flashes then goes off.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud, ice
or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone
in the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with adhesive labels or other objects;
they may hamper the correct operation
of the system.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
CITROËN.
