Rear Parking Sensors - CITROËN C3 Handbook

Driving

Rear parking sensors

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 roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre,
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it.

Activation
The system is activated as soon as reverse
gear is engaged, accompanied by an audible
signal. The proximity information is given by:
- an audible signal, which becomes more
rapid as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
- a graphic (according to version) in the
multifunction screen, with blocks which
become 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
in the multifunction screen.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when you
exit reverse gear, the system becomes inactive.
The parking sensor system cannot in
any circumstances take the place of
vigilance on the part of the driver.
