Driving
– When overtaking a vehicle, the speed difference is less than 6 mph (10 km/h).– When overtaken by a vehicle, the speed difference is less than 16 mph (25 km/h).– Traffic is flowing normally.– Overtaking a vehicle over a certain period of time and the vehicle being overtaken remains in
the blind spot.
– You are driving on a straight or slightly curved road.– Your vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a caravan, etc.
Operating limits
No alert is triggered in the following conditions:– In the presence of non-moving objects (parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps, road signs, etc.).– Oncoming traffic.– Driving on a winding road or a sharp corner .– When overtaking or being overtaken by a very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) that is detected
in the rear blind spot but is also present in the
driver’s front field of vision.
– When overtaking quickly.– In very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front and behind are confused with a lorry or a
stationary object.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp flashes for a few
moments in the instrument panel, accompanied
by the Service warning lamp coming on and the
display of a message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet surface 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 correct
operation of the system.
Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Using sensors located in the bumper, this system signals the proximity of obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear, which is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when disengaging
reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The system signals the presence of obstacles
within the 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) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.

Driving
“Go forwards".
The manoeuvring status is indicated by these
symbols:
Manoeuvre in progress (green).
Manoeuvre cancelled or finished (red) (the arrows indicate that the driver must
resume control of the vehicle).
The maximum speeds during manoeuvres are
indicated by these symbols:
75 mph or 7 km/h, for parking space entry.
53 mph or 5 km/h, for parking space exit.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel performs rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel or put your hands between
the spokes of the steering wheel. Watch out
for any objects that could interfere with the
manoeuvre (loose clothing, scarf, tie, etc.).
Risk of injury!
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor the traffic, especially vehicles coming
towards you.
The driver should check that no objects or
people are obstructing the vehicle’s path.
The images from the camera(s) displayed on the touch screen may be
distorted by the terrain.
In shady areas, or in inadequate sunlight
or lighting conditions, the image may be
darkened and with lower contrast.
The manoeuvre can be permanently interrupted
at any time, either by the driver or automatically
by the system.
Interruption by the driver:
– taking over control of the steering.– activating the direction indicator lamps on the opposite side to that of the manoeuvre.– unfastening the driver's seat belt.– switching off the ignition.Interruption by the system:– vehicle exceeding the speed limit of 5 mph (7 km/h) during parking space entry manoeuvres, or 3 mph (5 km/h) during parking space exit manoeuvres.– activation of anti-slip regulation on a slippery road.
– opening of a door or the boot.– engine stall.– system malfunction.– after 10 manoeuvres to enter or exit a parallel parking space and after 7 manoeuvres to enter a
parking bay.
Interrupting the manoeuvre automatically
deactivates the function. The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,
accompanied by the "
Manoeuvre cancelled"
message on the touch screen.
A message prompts the driver to take back
control of the vehicle.
End of the parking space entry or exit
manoeuvre
The vehicle stops as soon as the manoeuvre is
completed.
The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,
accompanied by the message “ Manoeuvre
completed” on the touch screen.
When entering a parking space, the driver may
be required to complete the manoeuvre.
Operating limits
– The system may suggest an unsuitable parking space (No Parking area, work in
progress with damaged road surface, location
alongside a ditch, etc.).
– The system may indicate that a space has been found but not offer it because of a fixed
obstacle on the opposite side of the manoeuvre,
which would not allow the vehicle to follow the
necessary trajectory for parking.
– The system may indicate that a space has been found but not engage the manoeuvre
because the road is too narrow.
– The system is not designed to perform the parking manoeuvre on a sharp bend.– The system does not detect spaces that are much larger than the vehicle or are bounded by
obstacles that are very low (pavements, studs, etc.) or very thin (trees, posts, wire fences, etc.).– Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind spots may not be detected or may no longer be
detected during the manoeuvre.
– Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound waves: pedestrians may not be detected.– A front or rear impact to the vehicle can upset the sensors’ settings, which is not always
detected by the system: distance measurements
may be distorted.
– If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt, affecting distance measurements.
The vehicle's sensors and camera(s) may be
impaired by:
– accumulated snow or fallen leaves on the road,– adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, thick fog, falling snow),– noise interference from noisy vehicles and machinery (lorries, pneumatic drills, etc.).
Do not use the function under the
following exterior conditions:
– Alongside a soft shoulder (e.g. ditch) or quay or on the edge of a drop.– When the road surface is slippery (e.g. ice).
If any of the following malfunctions
occurs, do not use the system:
– If a tyre is under-inflated.– If one of the bumpers is damaged.– If one of the cameras is faulty.
