The system is deactivated by pressing the control.
The
  system   is   deactivated   automatically:
-
 
o
n   switching   off   the   ignition,
-
 
i
f   the   engine   stalls,
-

i
f no manoeuvre is started within 5 minutes
of selection of the type of manoeuvre,
-
 
a
fter   a   prolonged   stop   of   the   vehicle   during  
a

manoeuvre,
-
 
i
f   the   road   wheel   anti-slip   regulation   (ASR)

s
 t
riggered,
-
 
i
f   the   speed   of   the   vehicle   exceeds   the  
s

tated limit,
-

w
hen the driver interrupts movement of the
steering
 w

heel,
-

a
fter 4 manoeuvre cycles,
-
 
o
n   opening   the   driver's   door,
-

i
f one of the front wheels encounters an
obstacle.
The
  operation   indicator   lamp   goes   off   in   the  
i

nstrument   panel   and   a   message   is   displayed  
a

ccompanied   by   an   audible   signal.
The
  driver   should   then   take   back   control   of   the  
v

ehicle's
 s
teering.
Deactivation
The system is switched off automatically:
-  w hen   towing   a   trailer,   connected  
e

lectrically,
-
 
i
f   the   driver's   door   is   opened,
-

i
f the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph
(70
  km/h).
To
  switch   the   system   of   for   a   prolonged   period,  
c

ontact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Operating faults
In the event of a fault with the power
steering,   this   warning   lamp   flashes   in  
t

he instrument panel, accompanied
by
  a   message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Switching off
If the lateral distance between your
vehicle   and   the   space   is   too   great,   the s

ystem may not be able to measure the
space.
Anything
  projecting   beyond   the   envelope
 o

f the vehicle (a ladder on the roof, for
example)
  is   not   taken   into   account   by   the
 P

ark   Assist   system   during   a   manoeuvre.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by road
dirt,
  ice   or   snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked
  by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
If
 
the
 
system
 
is
 
deactivated
 
during
 
a
 
ma

noeuvre, the drive should reactivate
it
 
to
 
repeat
 
the
 
measurement. In
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
a
 
fault,
 
this
 
warning
 
l

amp flashes for a few seconds,
accompanied
 
by
 
an
 
audible
 
signal.
If
 
the
 
fault
 
occurs
 
during
 
the
 
use
 
o

f
 
the
 
system,

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres,
  once   the   vehicle   is   moving.
It
  compares   the   information   given   by   the   four  
w

heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
  system   triggers   an   alert   as   soon   as   it  
d

etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or
  more   tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does
  not   replace   the   need   for   vigilance  
o

n   the   part   of   the   driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check
  the   tyre   pressures   (including   the  
s

pare wheel) every month as well as
before
  a   long   journey.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres   impairs  
r

oad   holding,   extends   braking   distances  
a

nd causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high
  loading,   high   speed,   long   journey).
System
  which   automatically   checks   the   pressures   of   the   tyres   while   driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure
  label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding
 s

ection.
Tyre
  pressures   should   be   checked  
w

hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
  for   1   hour   or   after   a   journey   of  
l

ess   than   6   miles   (10   km)   at   moderate  
s

peeds).
Other wise
  (when   hot),   add   0.3   bar   to  
t

he   pressures   shown   on   the   label.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
i

ncreases   fuel   consumption.

Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
This is given by fixed illumination of t
his   warning   lamp,   accompanied   by  
a

n   audible   signal   and,   depending   on  
e

quipment,   the   display   of   a   message. It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time
  one   or   more   tyre   pressures   are   adjusted,  
a

nd   after   changing   one   or   more   wheels.
F

R

educe speed immediately, avoid
excessive
  steering   movements   and   sudden  
b

raking.
F

S

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to
 
do
 
so. F
I n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary
  puncture   repair   kit   or   the   spare  
w

heel   (depending   on   equipment),
or
F

i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in
  the   temporary   puncture   repair   kit,   check  
t

he pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F
 
i
f   it   is   not   possible   to   make   this   check  
i

mmediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always
  cause   visible   bulging   of   the   tyre.  
D

o
 
not   satisfy   yourself   with   just   a   visual  
c

heck. The alert is maintained until the system
is
 r

einitialised.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised  after   fitting   or   removing  
sn

ow
 c
hains.
Before
  reinitialising   the   system,   ensure  
t

hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre   pressure   label.
The under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does   not   give   a   warning   if   a   pressure   is  
i

ncorrect   at   the   time   of   reinitialisation.

A

 s
ignal.
Before
  doing   anything   to   the   system,  
t

he pressures of the four tyres must be
checked
  and   the   system   reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert can only be
relied on if reinitialisation of the system
is done with the four tyre pressures
correctly
 
set. In
  this   case,   under-inflation   monitoring   of   the  
t

yres   is   no   longer   assured.
