AUDIBLE AND/OR
VISUAL REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE
System consisting of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle, except obstacles located
just below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the begin-
ning of the manoeuvre, but may no
longer be detected when the vehicle
comes close to it.
Programming
You can activate or deactivate the
system by means of the multifunc-
tion screen confi guration menu. The
system state is memorised when
switching off the ignition.
For more information on access to
the parking assistance menu, refer to
the section on vehicle confi guration
for your screen under "Multifunction
screens".
The system will be deactivated auto-
matically when towing a trailer or
when a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehi-
cle fi tted with a towbar or bicycle car-
rier recommended by CITROËN).

Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged, accompa-
nied by an audible signal. The proxi-
mity information is given by:
-
an audible signal, which beco-
mes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
-
a graphic on the multifunction
screen, with blocks which be-
come increasingly closer to the
vehicle.
When the distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle
is less than thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous
and the "Danger" symbol appears
on the multifunction screen.
On completion of the manoeuvre,
when you exit reverse gear, the system
becomes inactive.
The parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, take
the place of the vigilance and res-
ponsibility of the driver.
Operating faults
If there is an operating fault,
when reverse gear is en-
gaged this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible
signal (short beep) and a message
on the multifunction screen.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow.
