This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensorslocated in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworkscone, etc.) detected initially will no longer bedetected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.
Parking sensors
This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by anintermittent audible signal, the frequency of whichincreases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle andthe obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomescontinuous.
Rear parking sensors
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal bydisplaying bars in the screen or the instrument
panel which move progressively nearer to
the vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the"Danger" symbol is displayed.

Front par king sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (frontor rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front or behind.
The system will be deactivatedautomatically if a trailer is beingtowed or a bicycle carrier is fitted ona towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar installed in line with the manufacturer'srecommendations).
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear isengaged, an audible signal (long beep)indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Cer tain sound sources (motorcycle,lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parkingsensor system. In addition to the rear parkin
g sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle
is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward
gear, if no fur ther obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Deactivation / Activation of thefront and rear parking sensors
The system is deactivated in the " Drivingassistance" menu in the touch screen tablet.

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.

The park sensors function is notavailable during parking spacemeasurement. It intervenes later whenmanoeuvring to warn you that your vehicle is approaching an obstacle: theaudible signal becomes continuouswhen the obstacle is less than thir ty centimetres away.
If you have deactivated the parking sensors, they are automatically reactivated during assisted parkingmanoeuvres.
Activation of Park Assist inhibits the blind spot monitoring function.
