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.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.
In the event of a malfunction of the
system, when reverse gear is engaged
this warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Operating fault
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front parking
sensors
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).

by a sunshine sensor, the number plate
lamps,
s
idelamps and dipped beam headlamps
are switched on automatically, without any
action on the part of the driver. They can also
come on if rain is detected, at the same time as
automatic operation of the windscreen wipers.

sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers
are switched off, the lamps are switched off
automatically.
Activation
