jefflad Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Hi, I've recently bought a C5 Tourer 2.0HDi VTR+ and to be honest really like but I can't seem to get the rear sensors to work! I can't see any button to switch on or off so assume, as they are on my bumper that they are on all the time. It's on a 58 plate, if that makes any difference, and any help would be greatly appreciated. Jeff Quote

Jeffit should work in reverse gear without any other intervention - should start beeping a little over 1m away from obstructions and increase in frequency as you get closer :)if it doesn't work, either something is broken - or previous owner disabled it (via a lexia) Quote

Looking at the bumper, the holes are there but closer inspection it does appear the holes are there but just covered with dust caps for the want of a better word. Looks like I've been silly I'm afraid! Jeff Quote

Jeff if you register at service.citroen.com (which is anyway useful in terms of part lookup, etc) you can enter your VIN and see the specs on the car; on "Characterists", under "Interior Fittings" see the entry for "Obstacle Detection System" Quote

DaveHerns Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Aftermarket kits are much cheaper than Citroen fittings - about £25 for a kit on EBay Quote
