affecting distance measurements.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction when shifting to reverse, this warning lamp comes on
on the instrument panel, accompanied by the
display of a message and an audible signal
(short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Top Rear Vision
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .


As soon as reverse gear is engaged with the
engine running, this system displays views of
your vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch screen using a camera located at the rear of the
vehicle.



The screen is divided into two parts with a
contextual view and a view from above the
vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the information
on the view from above the vehicle.
Various contextual views may be displayed:
– Standard view
.
– 180° view.– Zoom view .AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses to display the
best view (standard or zoom).
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
Principle of operation

Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the brackets) in real time and as the
manoeuvre progresses.
It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when
parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle
to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
Rear vision

To activate the camera, located on the tailgate,
engage reverse and keep the speed of the
vehicle below 6 mph (10 km/h).The system is deactivated:– Automatically, at speeds above approximately 6 mph (10 km/h),– Automatically, if the tailgate is opened.– Upon changing out of reverse gear (the image remains displayed for 7 seconds).– By pressing the white arrow in the upper-left corner of the touch screen.

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.

Practical information
► Refit protective plug 2 to carrier 1.► Carefully stow the towball in its bag away from knocks and dirt.
Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure
jet wash, the towball must be removed and the
protective plug fitted to the carrier.
Apply the label provided to a clearly visible area, close to the carrier or in the
boot.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for any work on the towbar system.
Towing device
Load distribution► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance. The maximum load which
can be towed must be reduced by 10% per
1,000 metres of altitude.
Use towing devices and their genuine
wiring harnesses approved by CITROËN.
It is recommended that the installation be
performed by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, it
must still be fitted in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated if an approved
towing system is used.
Observe the maximum authorised
towable weight, indicated on the vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the Technical data section
of this guide.
Complying with the maximum authorised
nose weight (towball) also includes the
use of accessories (bicycle carriers, tow
boxes, etc.).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates certain
functions, such as air conditioning, heated rear
screen, etc.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Energy economy mode
This system manages the duration of use of
certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient
level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine, you can still
use functions such as the audio and telematic
system, the wipers and the dipped beam
headlamps or courtesy lamps, for a combined
duration of approximately 40 minutes.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched to
economy mode and the active functions are put
on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around 10
minutes with the Bluetooth hands-free system
of your audio system.
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically reactivated the
next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
– For less than 10 minutes, to use the equipment for approximately 5 minutes.
– For more than 10 minutes, to use the equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
