Rear parking sensors / Reversing
camera

provide a warning for any obstacles located
behind the vehicle.
Stop & Start
This system puts the engine temporarily into standby during stops in the
traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc...). The engine restarts automatically
as soon as you want to move off. The Stop & Start system reduces fuel
consumption, exhaust emissions and the noise level when stationary.
Temporary puncture repair kit
This kit is a complete system consisting of a
compressor and sealant cartridge, to allow the
temporary repair of a tyre.
Zenith windscreen
This large windscreen provides incomparable
visibility and light in the passenger

Rear parking sensors
Activation
This detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, etc.) behind the vehicle, except
obstacles located just below the bumper.The system is activated as soon as reverse
gear is engaged, accompanied by an audible
signal. The proximity information is given by:
-

a
n audible signal, which becomes more
rapid as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
-

a g
raphic (according to version) in the
multifunction screen, with blocks which
become increasingly closer to the vehicle. On completion of the manoeuvre, when you
exit reverse gear, the system becomes inactive.
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.The parking sensor system cannot in
any circumstances be a substitute for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
System consisting of four proximity sensors,
located in the rear bumper.
When the distance between the rear of the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and the "
da

nger" symbol appears
in the multifunction screen.
