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.
Before replacing a fuse, it is necessary to:
- determine the cause of the fault and have it
remedied,
- switch off all electric 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. To replace a fuse, it is essential to:
- use the special tweezer, placed on the
cover close to the fuseboxes, to extract
the fuse from its holder and check the
condition of its filament,
- always replace a failed fuse by a fuse of
equivalent rating (same colour); a different
rating could cause a fault (risk of fire). The replacement of a fuse not
mentioned in the tables below may
cause a serious fault on your vehicle.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.CITROËN declines all responsibility
for the costs incurred in repairing your
vehicle or faults resulting from the
installation of accessories that are not
supplied or recommended by CITROËN
and not installed in conformity with its
requirements, particularly when the
total consumption of additional devices
exceeds 10 milliamperes.
Installation of electrical
accessories
Your vehicle’s electrical system
is designed to operate with either
standard or optional equipment.
Before installing electrical equipment
or accessories on your vehicle, consult
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
