-  audio system and telephone controls and 
the display of associated information,
-  the display of the ambient temperature 
(a blue snowflake appears if there is a risk

Parking space sensors
System which measures the parking space 
available between two vehicles or obstacles. It 
measures the size of the space and gives you 
information on:
- the possibility of fitting into a free space, 
depending on the dimensions of your 
vehicle and the distances necessary for 
your manoeuvring,
-  the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre to 
be performed.
The system does not measure spaces which 
are clearly much smaller or larger than the size 
of the vehicle. The parking space sensor function warning 
lamp can have three different states:
- 
off: the function is not selected,
-  on fixed:  the function is selected but the 
conditions for measuring are not yet met 
(direction indicator not operating, speed too 
high) or the measurement is terminated.
-  flashing:  measurement is in progress or 
the message is being displayed. You can select the "parking space sensor" 
function by pressing button A
. The fixed 
illumination of the warning lamp indicates that 
the function is selected.
During the measurement, the message 
"Measurement in progress - Vmax 20 km/h 
(12 mph)" is displayed in the instrument panel 
screen.Displays in the instrument panel

Operation
You have identified a parking space:
F Press button A to select the function.
F  a ctivate the direction indicator on the side 
where the space is to be measured.
F  During measurement, go for ward the 
length of the space, at a speed less than  
12 mph (approx. 20 km/h), to prepare for 
your manoeuvre.
The system then measures the size of the space.
F  The system informs you of the level 
of difficulty of the manoeuvre via a 
message in the instrument panel screen 
accompanied by an audible signal.
F  Depending on the message issued by the 
system, you may or may not be able to 
per form the manoeuvre.The function displays the following types of message:
Parking YES
Parking  DIFFICULT
Parking NO The function deselects itself automatically:
- 
when you engage reverse gear,
-  when you switch off the ignition,
-   if measurement is not requested,
-  within five minutes of selection of the 
function,
-  if the vehicle speed exceeds the 
threshold of 45 mph (approx. 70 km/h) for 
one minute.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle and 
the parking space is too large, the system may 
not be able to measure the space.
The function remains available after each 
measurement and thus can measure more than 
one space during your search.
In bad weather conditions or in winter, make 
sure that the sensors are not covered by dirt, or 
by ice or snow.
The parking space sensor function deactivates 
the front parking sensors during space 
measurement when you are in for ward gear.
If there is a fault, have the system 
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
