Rear Parking Sensors - CITROEN DS3 Owner's Handbook Manual

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.
The parking sensor system cannot,
in any circumstances, take the place
of the vigilance and responsibility of
the driver.
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.
