Driving
Operation
You have identified a parking space:
F Press button A to select the function.
F activate the direction indicator on the side
where the space is to be measured.
F 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.
F The system informs you of the level
of difficulty of the manoeuvre via a
message in the instrument panel screen
accompanied by an audible signal.
F Depending on the message issued by the
system, you may or may not be able to
perform the manoeuvre.

The function displays the following types of message:
Parking YES
Parking DIFFICULT
Parking NO
The function deselects itself automatically:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measurement is not requested,
- within five 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 after 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
qualified workshop.
