Blind spot sensors
This driving assistance system warns the driver of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot
  angle   of   their   vehicle   (areas   masked   from  
t

he   driver's   field   of   vision),   as   soon   as   this  
p

resents   a   potential   danger.

F On  switching   on   the   ignition,   or   engine  r
unning,   press   this   button   to   activate   the  
f

unction;   the   warning   lamp   comes   on.

 i
mmediately,
 
when
 
being
 
overtaken,
-

a

fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking
 
a
 
vehicle
 
slowly.
This
 
system
 
is
 
designed
 
to
 
improve

of other vehicles and to predict their
movements
 
before
 
deciding
 
whether
 
to
 
c

hange

gain;   the   warning   lamp   goes   off.
The
  state   of   the   system   remains   in   memory   on  
s

witching   off   the   ignition.
Operating fault
The system is automatically deactivated when   towing   with   a   towbar   approved   by  
CIT

ROËN. The
  system   may   suffer   temporary  
i

nterference in certain weather
conditions   (rain,   hail...).
In   particular,   driving   on   a   wet   sur face  
o

r   moving   from   a   dry   area   to   a   wet   area  
c

an   cause   false   alerts   (for   example,   the  
p

resence   of   a   fog   of   water   droplets   in  
t

he   blind   spot   angle   is   interpreted   as   a  
v

ehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the   sensors   are   not   covered   by   mud,   ice  
o

r   snow.
Take   care   not   to   cover   the   warning   zone  
i

n   the   door   mirrors   or   the   detection  
z

ones   on   the   front   and   rear   bumpers  
w

ith   adhesive   labels   or   other   objects;  
t

hey   may   hamper   the   correct   operation  o
f   the   system.
In   the   event   of   a   fault,   the   warning   lamp   in   the  
b

utton   flashes   then   goes   off.
Have   it   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a

Parking sensors
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.
Rear parking sensors
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   left)
 i

ndicates   the   side   on   which   the   obstacle   is   located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the
  obstacle   becomes   less   than   approximately
 t

hirty   centimetres,   the   audible   signal   becomes
 c

ontinuous.Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by d isplaying   bars   in   the   screen   which   move  
p

rogressively   nearer   to   the   vehicle.
When
  the   obstacle   is   very   close,   the   "Danger"  
s

ymbol   is   displayed   in   the   screen.
This system c annot  i n  a ny  c ircumstances  r eplace t

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

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking   sensors   are   triggered   when   an   obstacle i

s detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is
still
  below   6   mph   (10   km/h).
The
  front   parking   sensors   are   interrupted   if   the
 v

ehicle   stops   for   more   than   three   seconds   in
 f

or ward   gear,   if   no   further   obstacles   are   detected
 o

r   when   the   speed   of   the   vehicle   exceeds   6   mph
 (

10   km/h).
Front parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this button.   The   indicator   lamp   in   the   button  
comes
  on.
Pressing
  this   button   again   reactivates   the  
f

unction.   The   indicator   lamp   in   the   button  
goes
  off.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the   system,   when   reverse   gear  
i

s   engaged   this   warning   lamp   is  
d

isplayed   in   the   instrument   panel  
a

nd/or   a   message   appears   in   the  
s

creen,   accompanied   by   an   audible  
s

ignal   (short   beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
 w

orkshop.
The
 
sound
 
emitted
 
by
 
the
 
speaker
 
(front
 
or
 
r

ear)
 
indicates
 
whether
 
the
 
obstacle
 
is
 
in
 
front
 
o

r
 
behind. The function will be deactivated
automatically
 
if
 
a
 
trailer
 
is
 
being
 
towed
 
o

r
 
a
 
bicycle
 
carrier
 
is
 
fitted
 
(vehicle
 
f

itted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended
 
by
 
CITROËN). In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud,
  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.
