the surroundings of the vehicle, by 
displaying additional information in the 
instrument panel.
For more information on the Reversing

, refer to the corresponding 
section. During a bay parking manoeuvre, the 
Park Assist system is automatically 
deactivated once the rear of the vehicle 
is within 50 cm of an obstacle.

accompanied by an audible signal.
The driver should then take back control of the 
vehicle's steering.
Deactivation
The system is switched off automatically:

electrically,
-
 
i
 f the driver's door is opened,
-
 
i
 f the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph

To switch the system of for a prolonged period, 
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Operating faults
In the event of a fault with the power 
steering, this warning lamp flashes in 
the instrument panel, accompanied 
by a message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Switching off
If the lateral distance between your 
vehicle and the space is too great, the 
system may not be able to measure the 
space.
Anything projecting beyond the envelope 
of the vehicle (a ladder on the roof, for 
example) is not taken into account by the 
Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that 
the sensors are not covered by road 
dirt, ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system 
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
If the system is deactivated during a 
manoeuvre, the drive should reactivate 
it to repeat the measurement. In the event of a fault, this warning 
lamp flashes for a few seconds, 
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the fault occurs during the use 
of the system, the warning lamp 
goes
 
off. High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, keep the 
lance at least 30 cm away from the 
sensors.

Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
This is given by fixed illumination of 
this warning lamp, accompanied by

equipment, the display of a message. It is necessary to reinitialise the system every

and after changing one or more wheels.

F
 
I
 n the event of a puncture, use the 
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare 
wheel (depending on equipment).
The loss of pressure detected does not 
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual 
check. The alert is maintained until the system 
is reinitialised.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be 
reinitialised after fitting or removing 
snow chains. Before reinitialising the system, ensure 
that the pressures of the four tyres are 
correct for the use of the vehicle and in 
line with 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 new pressure settings registered are 
considered to be reference values by the 
system.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the 
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied 
by illumination of the Service warning lamp 
indicates a fault with the system.
A message appears, accompanied by an 
audible signal.
Before doing anything to the system, 
the pressures of the four tyres must be 
checked and the system reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert can only be 
relied on if reinitialisation of the system 
is done with the four tyre pressures 
correctly set. In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the 
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
