2019 CITROEN C4 PICASSO park assist

178
The rear parking sensors system will
be deactivated automatically if a trailer
or bicycle carrier is connected to
a
towing device installed in line with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a
trailer is
displayed at the rear of the image of the
vehicle.
The parking sensors are deactivated while the
Park Assist system is measuring a
space.
For more information on the Park Assist , refer
to the corresponding section.
Operating limits
- A front 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.
-

T
he tilting of the vehicle if the boot is
very loaded can affect the distance
measurements.
-

T
he sensors may be affected by poor
weather conditions (heavy rain, thick fog,
snowfall, etc.).
Operating fault
If the system fails, when reverse
gear is engaged this warning lamp
flashes for a
few seconds before
lighting up continuously, together
with the Service warning lamp.
A message appears, accompanied by an
audible signal.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by 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, direct the
lance at least 30
cm away from the
sensors.

ertain obstacles located in the sensors'
blind spots may not be detected or no
longer be detected during the manoeuvre.

S

ounds such as those emitted by noisy
vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills, etc.) may inter fere with the

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 (EAT6/EAT8) , the
driver manages the accelerator, brakes and
gears.
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 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.
A. Parallel parking.
B. Exit from a


parallel parking space.
C. Bay parking.
The Park Assist system provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:

Driving

182
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.) - injury risk!
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. The sequence of manoeuvres and the
driving instructions are displayed in the
instrument panel.
You should always check the surroundings
of your vehicle before starting
a


manoeuvre.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 Detection.
