angle
 
of
 
their
 
vehicle
 
(areas

as
 
soon
 
as
 
this

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified w orkshop. The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions
  (rain,   hail...).
In   particular,   driving   on   a   wet   sur face  o

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

n the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with
  adhesive   labels   or   other   objects;  
t

hey may hamper the correct operation
of
  the   system.

This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle   (examples:   pedestrian,   vehicle,   tree,  
g

ate)   which   comes   within   the   field   of   detection  
o

f   sensors   located   in   the   bumper.
Certain
  types   of   obstacle   (examples:   stake,  
r

oadworks   cone)   detected   initially   will   no   longer  
b

e detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they
  are   located   in   blind   spots   in   the   sensors'

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  
g

e a r.
This   is   confirmed   by   an   audible   signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of   reverse   gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an i
ntermittent   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.
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

he   vehicle.   When   the   obstacle   is   near,   the  
"
