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.
If a

fault occurs, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accompanied by the
display of a

message.
Contact a

CITROËN dealer or a

qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
No alert will be given and no correction will be
made in the following situations: -
i
n the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs, etc.),
-

Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
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 within the vehicle sensors' detection
zone.
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.
Adjusting the audible signal
Visual assistance
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.
On versions equipped with
CITROËN Connect Radio, pressing
this button opens the audible signal
volume adjustment window.It supplements the audible signal by displaying
bars on the screen that move progressively
nearer to the vehicle (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.
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).

Driving

168
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) locates the obstacle in relation to the
vehicle, in front or behind.
Deactivation/Activation
The function is deactivated and
activated in the Driving/Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
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
The tilting of the vehicle if the boot is very
loaded can affect the distance measurements.
Malfunction
If a malfunction occurs, when
s hifting to reverse, one of these
warning lamps comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a
message and an
audible signal (short beep).
If the malfunction occurs while the
parking sensors are being used, it
causes the function to deactivate.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Top Rear Vision – Top
360

Vision
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
With the engine running, these systems allow
views of your vehicle's close surroundings to
be displayed on the touch screen using one
camera for Top Rear Vision and two cameras
for Top 360
Vision.

180° view
The 180° view assists with exiting from
a parking bay in forward gear, making it
possible to see the approach of vehicles,
pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a


complete manoeuvre.
It consists of 3
areas: left A, centre B and
right C .
This view is available only from the view
selection menu.
Park Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system provides active assistance with
parking: it detects a


parking space then
operates the steering system to park in this
space.
With manual and automatic gearboxes , the
driver manages the accelerator, brakes and
forward and reverse gear engagement.
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. Several for ward
and reverse manoeuvres may be required.
At any time, the driver can take back control by
holding the steering wheel.
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.
Entry into a


parallel parking space.
B. Exit from a


parallel parking space.
C. Entry into a


bay parking space.
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
inter fere with the manoeuvre (loose
clothing, scar ves, ties, etc.) – risk of injury!
The Park Assist system provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents
entry into STOP mode of Stop & Start.
In STOP mode, activation of Park Assist
restarts the engine.

The Park Assist system takes control
of the power steering for a maximum of
4
manoeuvring cycles. The function is
deactivated after these 4
cycles. If you
think that your vehicle is not positioned
correctly, you should then take over the
steering to finish the manoeuvre.
The sequence of manoeuvres and the
driving instructions are displayed on the
touch screen.
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 Monitoring system.
During parking and exit from parking
manoeuvres, the Top Rear Vision – Top
360
Vision functions may come into
operation. They allow better monitoring
of the surroundings of the vehicle, by
displaying additional information in the
touch screen.
