Operation
You have identifi ed a parking space:
Press button A to select the function.
Activate the direction indicator
on the side where the space is to
be measured.
During measurement, go forward
the length of the space, at a speed
less than 12 mph (approx. 20 km/h),
to prepare for your manoeuvre.
The system then measures the size
of the space.
IX
The system informs you of the level of
diffi culty of the manoeuvre via a mes-
sage in the instrument panel screen
accompanied by an audible signal.
Depending on the message issued
by the system, you may or may not
be able to perform the manoeuvre.

D R I V I N G
The function displays the following
types of message:
Parking YES
Parking DIFFICULT
Parking NO
The function deselects itself auto-
matically:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measurement is not requested,
- within fi ve minutes of selection of
the function,
- if the vehicle speed exceeds the
threshold of 45 mph (approx.
70 km/h) for one minute.
If the lateral distance between your
vehicle and the parking space is too
large, the system may not be able to
measure the space.
The function remains available af-
ter each measurement and thus can
measure more than one space during
your search.
In bad weather conditions or in
winter, make sure that the sensors
are not covered by dirt, or by ice or
snow.
The parking space sensor function
deactivates the front parking sensors
during space measurement when
you are in forward gear.
If there is a fault, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
