from the front bumper; the two orange lines 3
and 4 represent 1 m and 2 m, respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
Zoom view

The camera records the vehicle's surroundings
during the manoeuvre in order to create a
view from above the front of the vehicle in its
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be
manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
It is important to check the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
The parking sensors also supplement the
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
180° view

The 180° view assists with exiting from a parking
space 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

Top Rear Vision
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
When reverse gear is engaged, with the engine
running, this system displays views of the
vehicle's close surroundings
on the touch screen
using a camera located at the rear of the vehicle.




The screen is divided into 3 parts with a side
menu, a contextual view and a view from above
the vehicle in its close surroundings.

The view type can be changed at any time
during the manoeuvre.
The system status is not saved when the ignition
is switched off.
Operating principle

Using the camera, the vehicle's close
surroundings are recorded during low speed
manoeuvres.
An image from above the vehicle in its close
surroundings is created in real time (on the side
of the screen), as the vehicle progresses.
This view makes it easier to align the vehicle
when parking and to perceive nearby obstacles.
It is automatically deleted if the vehicle remains
stationary for too long.
An additional jet is fitted above the number plate to clean the reversing camera (depending on
version). ►

The washing of the reversing camera is
triggered by operating the rear screenwash.
Settings

Driving
6This system provides active parking assistance:
it detects a parking space and then steers in the
appropriate direction to park in the space while
the driver controls the driving direction, gear
changes, acceleration and braking.
To help the driver monitor the manoeuvre, the
system automatically triggers the display from
the Top Rear Vision or 360 Vision function and
activates the parking sensors.
The system measures the available parking
spaces and calculates the distances to obstacles
using ultrasonic sensors built into the front and
rear bumpers of the vehicle.


The system assists with the following
manoeuvres:
A.Entering a "parallel" parking space
B. Leaving a "parallel" parking space
C. Entering a "bay" parking space
Operation
► When approaching a parking area, reduce
the speed of your vehicle to 19 mph (30 km/h)
or less.
Activating the function
With MyCitroën Play or MyCitroën Drive
The function is activated in the Vehicle/ Driving touch screen menu.
Select "Park Assist".
With MyCitroën Drive Plus
► In the ADAS touch screen application,
select Functions>Park Assist.
Activating the function deactivates the Blind spot monitoring system.
You can deactivate the function at any time until the parking space entry or exit
manoeuvre begins, by pressing the arrow or
the cross located in the top left-hand corner of
the display page.
Selecting the type of manoeuvre

With MyCitroën Play or MyCitroën Drive

indicator lamp comes on to confirm the
selection.
Parking space search
► You should drive at a distance of between
0.50 m and 1.50 m from the row of parked
vehicles, without ever exceeding 19
mph
(30
km/h), until the system finds an available
space.
The parking space search is suspended at
higher speeds. The function is automatically
deactivated if the vehicle speed exceeds 31 mph
(50
km/h).

148
Driving
For ''parallel'' parking, the space must at
a minimum be equal to the length of your
vehicle plus 0.60 m.
For ''bay'' parking, the width of the space
must be equal to the width of your vehicle
plus 0.70 m.
If the parking sensors function has been
deactivated in the touch screen, it will be
automatically reactivated when the system is
activated.

gives instructions on the manoeuvring direction
when starting "parallel" entry and exit parking
manoeuvres, and for all "bay" entry manoeuvres.
With MyCitroën Play or MyCitroën Drive
These instructions are displayed as a symbol
accompanied by a message:
"Move backwards".
“Go forwards".

vehicle.
The maximum speed during manoeuvres is
indicated by this symbol:
53 mph or 5 km/h (for parking space entry,
the manoeuvre is possible up to 5 mph or
7

km/h)
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.).
