Driving
► Move forwards slowly until a message
is displayed, accompanied by an audible
signal, asking you to engage reverse gear.
► Engage reverse gear, release the
steering wheel and move without
exceeding a speed of 4 mph (7 km/h).
The assisted parking manoeuvre is in progress.
7► Without exceeding 5 mph (7 km/h),
move forwards and backwards, aided by
the warnings from the "Parking sensors" system,
until the end of the manoeuvre is indicated.
► At the end of the manoeuvre, the
indicator lamp on the instrument panel
goes off, accompanied by a message and an
audible signal.
Parking assistance is deactivated: you can take
over the controls again.
Assistance with "bay" parking manoeuvres
► When parking, select “ Park Assist” in
the Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu
to activate the function.
With a digital instrument panel, this
indicator lamp comes on in the instrument
panel to confirm the activation of the function.
► Limit the vehicle speed to a maximum
of 12 mph (20 km/h) and select “Enter
bay parking space” on the touch screen.
► Operate the direction indicator on the
parking side chosen to activate the
The Park Assist system takes control of the steering for a maximum of 4
manoeuvring cycles. It is deactivated after
these 4 cycles. If the vehicle is not positioned
correctly, take back control to complete the
manoeuvre.
The sequence of manoeuvres and the driving instructions are displayed on the
touch screen.
The assistance is activated: the display of this symbol and a speed limit
indicate that the steering manoeuvres are
controlled by the system: do not touch the
steering wheel.
The assistance is deactivated: the display of this symbol indicates that the
steering manoeuvres are no longer controlled
by the system: take over the steering.
Activation of Park Assist deactivates the Blind Spot Monitoring.
The Parking sensors function is not available during parking space
measurement. It intervenes later when
manoeuvring to warn that the vehicle is
approaching an obstacle: the audible signal
becomes continuous when the obstacle is
less than 30 centimetres away.
If the Parking sensors function has
been deactivated, it will be automatically
reactivated during the assisted manoeuvring
phases.
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.
For more information on the Top Rear Vision
- Top 360 Vision


functions, refer to the
corresponding section.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
Any object exceeding the size of the vehicle
(e.g.
roof ladder, towball) is not taken
into account by the Park Assist during a
manoeuvre.
Always check the surroundings of the vehicle before starting a manoeuvre.
If the lateral distance between the vehicle and
the space is too great, the system may not be
able to measure the space.
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.
Beware of any object likely to block the
manoeuvre (e.g.
loose clothing, scarves, ties)
- risk of injury!
Assistance with "parallel" parking manoeuvres
► When parking, select " Park Assist " in
the Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu
to activate the function.
With a digital instrument panel, this
indicator lamp lights up on the instrument
panel to confirm the activation of the function.
► Limit the vehicle speed to a maximum
of 12 mph (20 km/h) and select "Enter
parallel parking space" on the touch screen.
To enter a "parallel" parking space, the system does not identify spaces that are
clearly smaller or larger than the vehicle.
► Operate the direction indicator on the
side you have chosen to park in order to
activate the measurement function.
The vehicle
must drive at a distance of between 0.5
m and

In the event of a breakdown
With a tyre repaired using this type of kit,
do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80

km/h) and do not drive more than
125

miles (200 km).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the tyre changed.
Checking/adjusting tyre
pressures
The compressor can be used, without injecting
sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the
tyre pressures.
►

Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep
it in a clean place.
►


Uncoil
the pipe stowed under the compressor.
►

Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten
firmly

.
►

Check that the compressor switch is in
position " O

Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under
the compressor

.
►

Connect
the compressor's electric plug to one
of the vehicle's 12
V sockets.
►

Switch the ignition on.
►


Start the compressor by placing the switch at
position " I

" and adjust the pressure to the value
shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label. To
deflate: press the black button located on the
compressor pipe, near the valve connection.
If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bar is
not reached, the tyre is damaged;
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
►

Once the correct pressure is reached, put the
switch in position " O

".
