Park Assist
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This 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

T
op Rear 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
The function is activated in the Vehicle/ Driving touch screen menu.
Select "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
located in the top left-hand corner of the
display page.
Selecting the type of manoeuvre

A manoeuvre selection page is displayed on the
touch screen: by default, the "Entry" page if the
vehicle has been running since the ignition was
switched on, otherwise, the "Exit" page.
►

Select the type and side of the manoeuvre to
activate the parking space search.
The selected manoeuvre can be changed at
any time, even while searching for an available
space.
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 stops over this limit.
The function automatically deactivates once the
vehicle speed exceeds 31 mph (50 km/h).
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 Driving/Vehicle menu
of the touch screen, it will be automatically
reactivated when the system is activated.

(30
km/h), until the system finds an available
space.
The parking space search stops over this limit.
The function automatically deactivates once the
vehicle speed exceeds 31 mph (50

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 Driving/Vehicle menu
of the touch screen, it will be automatically
reactivated when the system is activated.


When the system finds an available space, " OK"
is displayed on the parking view, accompanied
by an audible signal.
Preparing for the manoeuvre
► Move very slowly until the request to stop
the vehicle is displayed: " Stop the vehicle",
accompanied by the " ST
OP" sign and an audible
signal.
Once the vehicle has stopped, an instructions
page is displayed on the screen.
►

T
o prepare for the manoeuvre, follow the
instructions.
The start of the manoeuvre is indicated by
the message
"Manoeuvre under way",
accompanied by an audible signal.
Reversing is indicated by this message:
"Release the steering wheel, reverse ".
The Top Rear Vision function and the parking
sensors are automatically activated to help you
monitor your vehicle's close surroundings during
the manoeuvre.
During the manoeuvre
The system controls the vehicle’s steering. It
gives instructions on the manoeuvring direction
when starting "parallel" entry and exit parking
manoeuvres, and for all "bay" entry manoeuvres.
These instructions are displayed as a symbol
accompanied by a message:
"Reverse".
“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.

Driving
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 inappropriate
parking space (parking prohibited, work in
progress with damaged road surface, location
alongside a ditch, etc.).
–

The system may indicate that a space has
been found but will not offer it because of a fixed
obstacle on the opposite side of the manoeuvre,
which would not allow the vehicle to follow a
trajectory required for parking.
–


The system may indicate that a space has
been found but the manoeuvre will not be
triggered, because the width of the lane is
insufficient.
–


The system is not designed for performing the
parking manoeuvre on a sharp bend.
– The system does not detect spaces that
are much larger than the vehicle itself or that
are delimited by obstacles that are too low
(pavements, studs, etc.) or too thin (trees, posts,
wire fences, etc.).
–

If the boot is heavily loaded, the tilt of the
vehicle towards the rear may interfere with the
distance measurements.
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
.
If the vehicle has undergone any of the
following modifications, do not use the
function:
–

When carrying an object extending beyond
the dimensions of the vehicle (ladder on the
roof bars, bicycle carrier on the tailgate, etc.).
–


With a non-approved towball in place.
–


With snow chains fitted.
–


When driving on a small-diameter or
"space-saver" type spare wheel.
–


When the wheels fitted are a different size
from the original ones.
– After modifying one or both bumpers
(added protection).
– If the sensors have been repainted other
than by the CITROËN dealer network.
– With sensors not approved for the vehicle.
Malfunctions
If the parking sensor malfunction occurs
during use, indicated by this warning lamp
coming on, it causes the function to deactivate.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a power steering
malfunction, this warning lamp is
displayed on the instrument panel, accompanied
by a warning message.
You must stop the vehicle.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and
switch off the ignition.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
