2016 Citroen C4 CACTUS Owner's Manual

This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle   (pedestrian,   vehicle,   tree,   gate,   etc.)  
w

hich   comes   within   the   field   of   detection   of  
s

ensors   located   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,   if   they  
a

re   located   in   blind   spots   in   the   sensors'   field  
o

f   detection.
Parking sensors
This system cannot in any circumstances replace the   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse ge a r.
This
  is   confirmed   by   an   audible   signal.
The
  system   is   switched   off   when   you   come   out  
o

f   reverse   gear.
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  
l

eft)   indicates   the   side   on   which   the   obstacle   is  
l

ocated.
When
  the   distance   between   the   vehicle   and  
t

he   obstacle   becomes   less   than   approximately  
t

hirty   centimetres,   the   audible   signal   becomes  
c

ontinuous.
Rear parking
sensors
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by d isplaying   bars   in   the   screen   or   the   instrument  
p

anel   which   move   progressively   nearer   to  
t

he   vehicle.   When   the   obstacle   is   near,   the  
"

Danger"   symbol   is   displayed.

Front parking
sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or   rear)   indicates   whether   the   obstacle  
i

s   in   front   or   behind. The
  system   will   be   deactivated  a
utomatically   if   a   trailer   is   being  
t

owed   or   a   bicycle   carrier   is   fitted   on  
a

  towbar   (vehicle   fitted   with   a   towbar  
i

nstalled   in   line   with   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations).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.
As
 
an
 
addition   to   the   rear   parking   sensors,   the  
f

ront
 
parking   sensors   are   triggered   when   an  
o

bstacle   is   detected   in   front   and   the   speed   of  
t

he
 
vehicle   is   still   below   6   mph   (10   km/h).
The
 
front   parking   sensors   are   interrupted   if  
t

he
 
vehicle   stops   for   more   than   three   seconds  
i

n
 
for ward   gear,   if   no   further   obstacles   are  
d

etected   or   when   the   speed   of   the   vehicle  
e

xceeds   6   mph   (10   km/h).
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of t
he   system,   when   reverse   gear   is  
e

ngaged   the   symbol   for   the   button  
c

hanges   to   alert   mode   and   the  
w

arning   lamp   flashes   for   a   few  
m

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space.
I t   controls   the   steering   while   the   driver   manages   the   accelerator,   brakes,   gears   and   clutch   (manual   gearbox).   During   phases   of   entry   into   and   exit   from  
a

  parking   space,   the   system   provides   visual   and   audible   information   to   the   driver   in   order   to   make   the   manoeuvre   safe.   It   may   be   necessary   to   move  
f

or wards   and   backwards   more   than   once.
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   of  
t

heir   vehicle   ensuring   that   the   space  
r

emains   clear   during   the   manoeuvre.
In
  some   circumstances,   the   sensors  
m

ay   not   detect   small   obstacles   located  
i

n   their   blind   spots. Changing
  tyre   sizes   (out-size   tyres,  
w

inter   tyres, ...)   can   inter fere   with  
t

he   correct   operation   of   the   parking  
a

ssistance   system.
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. For
  entry   into   a   parking   space   (parallel  
p

arking)   the   system   does   not   detect  
s

paces   which   are   clearly   much   smaller  
o

r   larger   than   the   size   of   the   vehicle.
This
  "parking   assistance"   system  
i

s   activated   automatically   during  
m

anoeuvres;   it   is   therefore   possible  
t

hat   a   symbol   comes   on   in   the   screen,  
a

ccompanied   by   an   audible   signal,

  selection   of   the   type   of   manoeuvre  
(

entering   or   exiting   a   parallel   parking  
s

pace)   prevents   a   change   to   STOP  
m

ode   of   Stop   &   Start.
In
  STOP   mode,   this   selection   restarts  
t

he
 eng
ine.
The
  driver   can   take   control   at   any   time   by   gripping   the   steering   wheel.
