The hill-start assist function works with the electric parking brake to keep your vehicle steady for two seconds when you release the brake pedal on a slope of over 3%. This gives you time to move your foot from the  brake pedal to the accelerator.

Front and rear sensors make parking easier – especially when space is tight in the city. Sensors in the bumpers sense any obstacles, sound a beep and show you how close you are to other cars and objects on the on-board computer screen.

The parking space ‘gap’ measurement system works with the parking sensors to help you park neatly. It tells you whether the space is big enough and lets you know how difficult it will be to park.

The cruise control/speed limiter, with its steering-wheel controls, helps you have a more relaxed driving experience.

- Cruise control keeps the car at a set speed while you take your foot off the accelerator.
- The speed limiter keeps the car within the limit you choose.
- Both can be easily turned off by pressing the accelerator.

Push a button on the central console and the electric parking brake calculates how much force is needed to keep the car stationary. It comes on automatically when you stop the engine and shuts off when you put the car in motion. This means you can rest assured that your Citroën C5 will always be securely parked.

The electric parking brake is standard on all cars with Hydractive 3+ suspension.
