The audible (front and rear) and visual
(rear) parking sensor system consists
of proximity sensors, installed in the
rear
bumper.
The sensors detect any obstacle which
enters
its field of operation: person,
vehicle, tree, fence, behind the vehicle
during
the manoeuvre.
Certain
objects detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre will no
longer be detected at the end of the
manoeuvre due to the blind spots
between
and below the sensors.
Examples:
stake, roadworks cone or
pavement
post.

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered
when an obstacle is detected in
front of the vehicle and the speed
of the vehicle remains below 6 mph
(10 km/h).
The
tone from the speaker (front
or rear) allows an obstacle to be
identified
as either in front of or
behind
the vehicle.

REVERSING CAMERA
The reversing camera is activated
automatically when reverse gear is
engaged.
The image is displayed in the touch
screen tablet.
The reversing camera function may be
completed
with parking sensors.
The reversing camera cannot in
any circumstances be a substitute
for vigilance on the part of the
driver. High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do
not direct the lance within 30 cm of
the
camera lens.
The superimposed representation of
guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre.
They
are represented by lines marked
"on the ground" and do not allow the
position of the vehicle to be determined
relative
to tall obstacles (for example:
other
vehicles, ...).
Some deformation of the image is
normal. The blue lines represent the general
direction of the vehicle (the difference
corresponds to the width of your
vehicle
without the mirrors).
The red lines represent a distance of
about 30 cm beyond the edge of your
vehicle's
rear bumper.
The green lines represent distances of
about 1 and 2 metres beyond the edge
of
your vehicle's rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves represent
the
maximum turning circle.
Opening the tailgate causes the
display
to disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using
a soft, dry cloth.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS / EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force distribution) systems improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle
on braking, in particular on
poor
or slippery surfaces.
The
ABS
prevents locking of the
wheels, the EBFD provides control of
the
braking pressure wheel by wheel.If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the ABS which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle
on braking.
If this warning lamp comes
on,
together with the brake
and ST
OP warning lamps,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the
electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of
the
vehicle on braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSIST
ANCE (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached
more quickly, press the pedal
firmly
without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake
pedal is pressed down.
This
alters the resistance of the brake
pedal
under your foot.
To maintain operation of the
emergency
braking assistance system:
keep
your foot on the brake pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock. It does not
reduce
the braking distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice,
oil, etc...)
the
ABS
may increase the
braking
distance. When braking in
an emergency
, do not hesitate to
press
the brake pedal firmly, without
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
to continue to manoeuvre the vehicle
to
avoid an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be
felt
by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that these are listed by
CITROËN
for the vehicle. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN
dealer
or a qualified workshop.
