During parking and exit from
parking manoeuvres, the reversing
camera function may come into
operation. It facilitates monitoring of
the surroundings of the vehicle, by
displaying additional information in the
instrument panel.
For more information on the Reversing
camera
, 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.

The system is deactivated by pressing the
control.
The system is deactivated automatically:
-
o
n switching off the ignition,
-

i
f the engine stalls,
-

i
f no manoeuvre is started within 5 minutes
of selection of the type of manoeuvre,
-

a
fter a prolonged stop of the vehicle during
a manoeuvre,
-

i
f the road wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR)
is triggered,
-

i
f the speed of the vehicle exceeds the
stated limit,
-

w
hen the driver interrupts movement of the
steering wheel,
-

a
fter 4 manoeuvre cycles,
-

o
n opening the driver's door,
-

i
f one of the front wheels encounters an
obstacle.
The operation indicator lamp goes off in the
instrument panel and a message is displayed
accompanied by an audible signal.
The driver should then take back control of the
vehicle's steering.
Deactivation
The system is switched off automatically:
- w hen towing a trailer, connected
electrically,
-

i
f the driver's door is opened,
-

i
f the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph
(70 km/h).
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 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.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. 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.

Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
This is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message. It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
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.
