Parking sensors
Operation
The parking sensors system cannot, in 
any circumstances, replace the need for 
vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system detects any obstacle (person, 
vehicle, tree, barrier...) located in front of or 
behind the vehicle, however, it will not be able 
to detect obstacles located immediately below 
the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks cone 
or any other similar object may be detected at 
the start of the manoeuvre but may no longer 
be detected when the vehicle moves nearer 
to it.
At the front and/or at the rear
This system is comprised of proximity sensors, 
installed in the front and/or rear bumper.
Visual and audible assistance
The proximity information is indicated by:
-
  an audible signal which becomes more rapid 
as the vehicle approaches the obstacle,
-   a diagram in the multifunction screen, with 
blocks which move closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to the emission 
of the audible signal by the speakers; front or rear 
and right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle and 
the obstacle is less than approximately thirty 
centimetres, the audible signal becomes 
continuous and/or the "Danger" symbol appears, 
depending on the multifunction screen version.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure 
that the sensors are not covered with 
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is 
engaged, an audible signal (long beep) 
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
When the speed of the vehicle is below 
about 6 mph (10 km/h), some sources 
of noise (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic 
drill, ...) may trigger the audible parking 
sensor signals. The parking sensors are switched on
:
-  by engaging reverse gear,
-  at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in 
forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible signal and 
the display of the vehicle in the multifunction 
screen.
The parking sensors are switched off :
-  when you exit reverse gear,
-  when the speed is higher than 6 mph 
(10 km/h) in for ward gear,
-  when the vehicle has been stationary for 
more than three seconds in for ward gear.

Blanking cover
When towing, you must remove the blanking 
cover in the front bumper as well as the bonnet 
seal if fitted.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop for this.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling 
on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically if a genuine 
CITROËN towbar is used.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long 
mountain type of descent, the use of engine 
braking is recommended.
