Front parking sensors
As an 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).
With the audio system
Deactivation / Activation
Deactivation or activation of the system is done
via the vehicle configuration menu.
The sound from the speakers (front or
rear) indicates whether the obstacle is
in front or behind. The system will be automatically
deactivated where a towbar or towbar-
mounted bicycle carrier is fitted
(vehicle fitted with a towbar installed as
recommended by a CITROËN dealer).
In the " Personalisation-configuration " menu,
activate/deactivate " Parking assistance ".
With the touch screen
In the Driving menu, activate/deactivate
" Parking sensors ". When engaging reverse and depending on the
vehicle's equipment, in the event of a fault:
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This warning lamp comes on and a
message appears, accompanied by
an audible signal.
The warning lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal.
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.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not
place the tip of the lance within 30 cm
of the sensors, as there is a risk of
damaging them.

Reversing camera with display in the interior mirror
The visual aid reversing camera is activated
automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
The function may be completed with parking
sensors.Opening the tailgate or rear door
(depending on equipment) can inter fere
with the display.
If a side door is open, allow for the
space it occupies.
Some deformation of the image is
normal.
The reversing camera cannot in any
circumstances be a substitute for
vigilance on the part of the driver. Check the cleanliness of the camera
lens regularly.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
The image is displayed in the interior mirror.
High pressure jet washing (if muddy,
for example)
When washing your vehicle, do not
place the tip of the lance within 30
cm
of the camera as there is a risk of
damaging it.
The blue lines represent the width of your
vehicle including the mirrors.
The red line represents a distance of 30 cm
from the rear bumper and the thin blue lines
respectively 1 m (
A) and 2 m ( B).

180° rear vision
This system allows the near surroundings of the
vehicle to be viewed in the display screen using
cameras located at the rear of the vehicle. The
parking sensors in the rear and/or front bumper
complete the information on the view from
above the vehicle (right-hand part).
In addition to the view from above the vehicle
(right-hand part) several types of view can be
displayed (left-hand part):
-
s
tandard rear view,
-
1
80° rear view,
-
r
econstructed zoom rear view.
Principle of image
reconstruction
The system displays the contextual view (left-
hand part) as well as the view from above the
vehicle in its close surroundings.
By default, automatic mode is activated.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information received from the parking sensors.
The 180° view is only available through the
menus. The display disappears above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
The system is automatically deactivated
about 7 seconds after coming out of
reverse or on opening a door or the
boot. This system is a visual aid and cannot
in any circumstances replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The images provided by the cameras
may appear distorted by the
surroundings (exterior conditions,
driving mode,
...).
The presence of areas in shadow, bright
sunlight, or poor lighting conditions
may make the image dark and reduce
contrast.
Using the rear camera, the system records the
vehicle's surroundings during a manoeuvre.
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 you to
see all of the obstacles close to the vehicle.
This reconstructed view is automatically erased
if the vehicle remains stationary for too long.

"Standard view""180° view"
"Zoom view" (reconstructed)
The camera records the surroundings during a
manoeuvre in order to create a reconstruction
of the view from above the rear of the vehicle in
its close surroundings, allowing the vehicle to
be manoeuvred among the obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO view or by
selecting of the view in the change view menu.
180° view makes it possible to reverse out of
a parking space while being able to see the
arrival of vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a complete manoeuvre.
It is made up of the following:
The area to the rear of your vehicle is displayed
in the screen.
The blue outline represents the width of your
vehicle (with mirrors): its orientation depends
on the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper and the two blue lines,
1
m and 2 m respectively.
Rear views
Engage reverse gear to activate the camera,
located on the tailgate or rear door.
The rear parking sensors also
provide information on the vehicle's
surroundings.
Obstacles may appear further away
than they are in reality.
It is important to check the side views
using the mirrors during the manoeuvre.

Activation
Activation is automatic on engaging reverse.
The function is displayed in the touch screen.
To close the window displayed, press on the
red cross at the top left of the screen.On display of the sub-menu, select one of the
four views:
"Standard view".
"180° view".
"Zoom view".
"AUTO mode".
You can choose the display mode at any time
by pressing on this area. Check the cleanliness of the camera
lenses regularly.
Periodically clean the reversing camera
with a soft dry cloth.
"AUTO mode"
This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the
automatic view allows a change from the rear
view to the view from above as an obstacle is
approached during a manoeuvre.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing a trailer or carrying a
bicycle on the towbar (vehicle fitted with
a towbar installed as recommended by
the manufacturer).
Quick start mode
This mode displays, as quickly as possible, the
contextual view (left-hand part) and the view
from above the vehicle. High pressure jet wash (if muddy, for
example)
When washing your vehicle, do not
place the tip of the lance within 30 cm of
the camera lenses, as other wise there
is a risk of damaging them.
A message is displayed advising you to check
your vehicle's surroundings before starting the
manoeuvre.

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
For more information on the
Identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
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 (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.
Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
