2017 CITROEN C3 AIRCROSS display

153
The screen is divided into two parts: on the
left, a contextual view; on the right, a view from
above the vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the
information on the view from above the vehicle.
Different contextual views can be displayed in
the left-hand part:
-
s
tandard view,
-

1
80° view,
-

z
oom view. AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information from the parking sensors.
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
Principle of operation
Using the rear camera, the near surroundings
of the vehicle are recorded whilst manoeuvring
at low speed. An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the blue brackets) in real time and as
the manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen.
This image is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
This system is a visual aid that cannot in
any circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The images provided by the camera may
be distorted by the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and
with lower contrast.

regularly.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
AUTO mode
This mode is activated by default. Using sensors in the rear bumper, the
automatic view changes from a rear view to a
view from above, as an obstacle is approached
at the level of the red line (less than 30
cm)
during a manoeuvre.
Standard view
The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the
screen.
The blue lines represent the width of your
vehicle with the mirrors unfolded; the direction
changes with the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper, the two blue lines 1
m
and 2
m respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.

155
Zoom view
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
It is important to check the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also provide
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
The camera records the vehicle's surroundings
during the manoeuvre in order to create a
view from above the rear of the vehicle in its
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be
manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking: it detects a parking space then
operates the steering system to park in this
space.
With a manual gearbox, the driver manages
the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch.
With an automatic gearbox , the driver
manages the accelerator, brakes and gears.
The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a
parking bay, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a complete manoeuvre.
It is made up of 3 areas: left A
, centre B and
right C .
This view is available only from the view
selection menu. This mode displays, as quickly as possible, the
contextual view (left-hand part) and the view
from above the vehicle.
A message is displayed advising you to check
your vehicle's surroundings before starting the
manoeuvre.

The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.This manoeuvring assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle ensuring that the space remains
clear throughout the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
The Park Assist system cannot work with
the engine off. C.
Bay parking.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel per forms rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could block
the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scar ves,
ties, etc.) - Risk of injury!
When the Park Assist is active, it prevents
the Stop & Start going into STOP mode.
In STOP mode, activating Park Assist
restarts the engine. The Park Assist system takes control
of the assistance for a maximum of
4
manoeuvre cycles. The function is
deactivated after these 4 cycles. If you
think that your vehicle is not positioned
correctly, you should then take control of
the steering to carry out the manoeuvre.
During phases of entry into and exit from a
parking space, the system provides visual
and audible information to the driver in order
to make the manoeuvres safe. It may be
necessary to move for wards and backwards
more than once.
The Park Assist system provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:
B.Exit from a parallel parking space. The sequence of manoeuvres and the
driving instructions are displayed on the
touch screen.
The assistance is activated:
the display of this symbol and
a speed limit indicate that
the steering manoeuvres are
controlled by the system: do not
touch the steering wheel.
The assistance is deactivated:
the display of this symbol
indicates that the steering
manoeuvres are no longer
controlled by the system:
you must take control of the
steering.
You should always check the surroundings
of your vehicle before starting a
manoeuvre.
A.
Entry into a parallel parking space.

The parking sensors function is
not available during parking space
measurement. It intervenes later when
manoeuvring to warn you that your vehicle
is approaching an obstacle: the audible
signal becomes continuous when the
obstacle is less than thirty centimetres
away.
If you have deactivated the parking
sensors, they are automatically
reactivated during assisted parking
manoeuvres.
Activation of Park Assist deactivates the
blind spot monitoring function.

Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the tyres
are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6
miles (10 km)
at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3
bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert

warning lamp, an audible signal
and, depending on equipment, a
message displayed on the screen.

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so. The loss of pressure detected does not

Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
F
I
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold.
F
I
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F
I
n case of a puncture, use the temporary
tyre repair kit or the spare wheel (depending
on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels. Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to the
recommendations on the tyre pressure
label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
The system must be reinitialised with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary:
-
i
n the vehicle configuration menu for
vehicles fitted with a touch screen.
-
v
ia the button on the dashboard for vehicles
without a touch screen.
With/Without audio system
