Driving
The change from one level of alertto the next takes place if the drivingconditions do not change (speedunchanged, no change of lane...)
Severe weather conditions (very heavy rain, accumulation of snow in front of the radar) may interfere with the operation of the system, resulting inthe display of the message " Systeminactive: Reduced visibility
". T hesystem remains unavailable until themessage disappears.
If the speed of your vehicle is too high when approaching another vehicle, the first level of aler t may not be displayed: the level 2 aler t may be displayeddirectly.
On the other hand, the level 1 aler t is never displayed with the triggeringthreshold 3 (close).
Alerts
According to the collision risk detected by thesystem and the aler t threshold chosen, three
levels of aler t can be triggered:
Level 1: visual aler t only (orange)indicating that the vehicle in front is
very close. The message " Vehicle close" is displayed.
Level 2 : visual (red) and audible alerts indicating that a collision is imminent. The message "Brake!
" is
displayed. Thi
s level of alert is based on the inter-vehicletime between your vehicle and the one in front.
Thi
s level of alert is based on a time beforecollision. It takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and
the speed of the vehicle in front, the driving
conditions, the situation with your vehicle (cornering, pedals pressed, etc.) to trigger the
alert at the right moment. Level
3: an increase in
the tension of the driver'sseat belt, to hold the driver
against the backrest of their seat.
The 3rdlevel of aler t is not triggered or is interrupted in the event of an impactbetween the two vehicles. The increase in the tension of the driver's seat belt is not intended as analer t for the driver: it does not in anycircumstances assure the function of driver safety.The triggering of this aler t does not act on the safety functions provided by theseat belts.

Driving
Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space. It controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears andclutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from a parking space, the system provides visual and audible information
to the driver in order to make the manoeuvres safe. It may be necessary to move for wards and backwards more than once.
During a manoeuvre the steering wheelturns quickly: do not hold the steeringwheel, do not place your hand between
the spokes of the steering wheel and take care with loose and bulky clothing, scarves, handbags... There is a risk of injury.
When Park Assist is activated, itprevents a change to STOP mode of Stop & Start. In STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts the engine.
The Park Assist system cannot in anycircumstances replace the care and responsibility of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their vehicle ensuring that thespace remains clear throughout themanoeuvre. In some circumstances, the sensors may not detect small obstacles located in their blind spots.
The driver can take control at any time bygripping the steering wheel.
The Park Assist s
ystem provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:
- entr
y into a parallel parking space
- exitin
g from a parallel parking space
- ba
y parking
The Park Assist system takes control of the power steering for a maximumof 4 manoeuvre cycles. The functionis deactivated after these 4 cycles.If you think that your vehicle is notpositioned correctly, you should then take control of the steering to carry outthe manoeuvre.
The Park Assist system cannot workwith the engine off.

Visibility
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:
- under conditions of poor visibility(for example, snowfall, heavy rainor thick fog, ...),
- if the windscreen is dir ty, misted or obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of the camera,
- if the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs.
The system is not able to detect:
- road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians,
- road users whose lighting is
obscured, such as vehicles running behind a safety barrier (on amotorway, for example),
- road users at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on twisty roads, oncrossroads.Switching off
)
In the "Driving assistance"menu, press the button, its
indicator lamp goes o
ff and
the the system changes to
"automatic illumination of headlamps" mode. To reactivate the s
ystem, flash the headlampsagain.
Depending on thesituation, one of these two indicator lamps comes on.
Switching on

Put the lighting control stalk ring
in the "AUTO" position.

In the " Driving assistance"
menu, press the button, its
indicator lamp comes on.
Operation
- dipped beam is maintained, this
indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
)Flash the headlamps(going beyond the point
of resistance) to activate
the function.
Once the function is activated, the system
operates as follows:
If the ambient li

traffic conditions permit:
- m
ain beam comes on
automatically: this indicator lamp
comes on in the instrument panel. If the ambient li
ght level is sufficient and/or
if the traffic conditions do not allow illumination
of the main beam headlamps:
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlampbeam, driver can take over at any time.
) Flashing the headlamps
again pauses the
function and thesystem changes to "automatic illumination of headlamps" mode:
- i
f the AUTO indicator lamp was on in green, the system changes to main
beam,
- i
f the AUTO indicator lamp was on in
blue, the system changes to dippedbeam.

Safety
Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
The system continuously monitors thepressures on the four tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever
y time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed. The system triggers an aler t as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system does not replace the vigilance or theresponsibility of the driver. This system does not avoid the need tocheck the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) every month as well as before a long journey. Driving with under-inflated tyres impairsroad holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear,particularly under arduous condition(high loading, high speed, long journey). S
ystem which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the tyrepressure label (see the "Identificationmarkings" section). Tyre pressures should be checkedwhen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderatespeeds). Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyresincreases fuel consumption.
