Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the
lateral airbags. For information on the
product range of seat covers suitable for
your vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.), as this could
cause injuries to the thorax or arm when
the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include
side impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior
trim could compromise the operation of
these sensors – risk of malfunction of the
lateral airbags!
Such work must only be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.General points relating to
child seats
The regulations on carrying children are
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
-

I

n accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt
or ISOFIX mountings.
-

S
tatistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the rear
seats.
-

A c
hild weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rear ward facing" position
both in the front and in the rear.
It is recommended that children travel on
the rear seats of your vehicle:
-
"rearward facing " up to the age of 3,
-
"forward facing " over the age of 3. Ensure that the seat belt is positioned and
tightened correctly.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the support leg is in firm and steady
contact with the floor.
At the front: if necessary, adjust the
passenger seat.
At the rear: if necessary, adjust the
relevant front seat.
Remove and stow the head restraint
before installing a child seat with backrest
on a passenger seat. Refit the head
restraint once the child seat has been
removed.
Child seat at the front
When a child seat is installed on the front
passenger seat
, adjust this seat to the
highest position , in the fully back position ,
with the backrest straightened .

with a "clock" symbol The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
It should be taken into account so that you
obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is a
driving aid system and does not always
display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed of
the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic
conditions.
It is possible for the system to not display
the speed limit if it does not detect a
speed limit sign within a preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs.

Activation/Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is set via
the vehicle configuration menu.
The system state remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towing device
approved by CITROËN.
Malfunction
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on
the front and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may hamper
the correct operation of the system.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towing device
approved by CITROËN.
High-pressure washing
When washing your vehicle, keep the
lance at least 30 cm away from the
sensors.

The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting of
the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),
-

d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-

w
indscreen area located in front of the
camera dirty, misted up, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a s t i c ke r,
-
l

ane markings absent, worn, hidden
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,
e t c .),
-

c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-

r
oads that are narrow, winding, etc. Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's
level of vigilance.
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message "
Take a break!",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal.
Parking sensors
This function is a manoeuvring aid which
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain attentive and stay
in control of their vehicle.
They must always check the vehicle’s
surroundings before undertaking a
manoeuvre.
During the entire manoeuvre, the driver
must ensure that the space remains clear.
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The function signals the presence of obstacles
present both within the sensors’ detection
zone and in the vehicle path defined by the
orientation of the steering wheel.

Adjusting the audible signal
Visual assistance
On versions equipped with
CITROËN Connect Radio,
pressing this button opens the
audible signal volume adjustment
window.
It supplements the audible assistance, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen that represent the
distance between the obstacle and the vehicle
Front parking sensors
In 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 an obstacle is no longer
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) locates the obstacle in relation to the
vehicle – in the vehicle trajectory, in front
or behind.
Side parking sensors
Using four additional sensors located on the
sides of the front and rear bumpers, the system
records the position of fixed obstacles during
the manoeuvre and signals them when they are
located by the sides of the vehicle.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
allows you to identify the side on which the
obstacle is located.(white: more distant obstacles, orange: close
obstacles, red: very close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Only fixed obstacles are signalled
correctly. Moving obstacles detected
at the beginning of the manoeuvre may
be signalled mistakenly, while moving
obstacles which appear at the sides of
the vehicle and which were not previously
recorded will not be signalled.
The objects memorised during the
manoeuvre will no longer be stored after
switching off the ignition.

Maintenance
recommendations
In bad or wintry weather, 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.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, keep the
lance at least 30 cm away from the
sensors.
-

A f
ront or rear impact to the vehicle can
distort the settings of the sensors, which is
not always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be incorrect.

Operating fault
If a fault occurs when shifting
to reverse, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Top Rear Vision
With the engine running, and as soon as
reverse gear is engaged, this system allows
views of your vehicle’s close surroundings to
be displayed on the touch screen using a rear
camera. 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. The state of the system is not kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Principle of operation
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.
Using the rear camera, the vehicle's
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
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.
