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.

Changing a fuse
The 2 fuseboxes are located below the dashboard and under the bonnet.
Replacing a fuse
Before replacing a fuse, you must:
- ascertain the cause of the fault and have it
remedied,
- switch off all electrical consumers,
- park the vehicle and switch off the ignition,
- identify the failed fuse using the allocation
tables and diagrams presented on the
following pages. Good
Failed
Tw e e z e r
If the fault recurs soon after replacing the
fuse, have the electrical system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. When replacing a fuse, it is essential to:
- use the special tweezer, located on the
cover close to the fusebox, to extract
the fuse from its housing and check the
condition of its filament,
- always replace a failed fuse with one of
equivalent rating (same colour); using a
different rating could cause a malfunction
(risk of fire). The replacement of a fuse not
mentioned in the tables below may
cause a serious malfunction on your
vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.CITR
oËn will not accept any
responsibility for the costs incurred
in repairing your vehicle or for the
malfunctions resulting from the
installation of auxiliary accessories which
were not supplied or recommended by
CITR oËn and which were not installed
in accordance with its instructions, in
particular where the current consumption
of all the the additional equipment
connected exceeds 10 milliamps.Installation of electrical
accessories
Your vehicle's electrical system is
designed to operate with standard or
optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical
equipment or accessories on your
vehicle, contact a CITR oËn dealer or a
