The   system   may   suffer   temporary  
i

nterference in certain weather

In   bad   or   wintry   weather,   ensure   that  
t

he   sensors   are   not   covered   by   mud,   ice  
o

r   snow.
Take   care   not   to   cover   the   warning   zone

This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle   (person,   vehicle,   tree,   gate,   etc.)  
w

hich   comes   within   the   field   of   detection   of  
s

ensors   located   in   the   bumper.
Certain
  types   of   obstacle   (stake,   roadworks  
c

one,   etc.)   detected   initially   will   no   longer   be  
d

etected   at   the   end   of   the   manoeuvre,   if   they  
a

re   located   in   blind   spots   in   the   sensors'   field  
o

f   detection.
Parking sensors
This function cannot, in any
circumstances,   take   the   place   of   the  
v

igilance   of   the   driver. The
  system   is   switched   on   by   engaging   reverse  
g

e a r.
This   is   confirmed   by   an   audible   signal.
The   system   is   switched   off   when   you   come   out  
o

f   reverse   gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an i
ntermittent   audible   signal,   the   frequency   of   which i

ncreases   as   the   vehicle   approaches   the   obstacle.
The
  sound   emitted   by   the   speaker   (right   or   left)
 i

ndicates   the   side   on   which   the   obstacle   is   located.
When
  the   distance   between   the   vehicle   and
 t

he   obstacle   becomes   less   than   approximately
 t

hirty   centimetres,   the   audible   signal   becomes
 c

ontinuous.
Rear parking sensors
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by d isplaying   bars   in   the   screen   or   the   instrument  
p

anel   which   move   progressively   nearer   to  
t

he   vehicle.   When   the   obstacle   is   near,   the  
"

Danger"   symbol   is   displayed.

177
Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or   rear)   indicates   whether   the   obstacle  
i

s   in   front   or   behind. The
  system   will   be   deactivated  
a

utomatically   if   a   trailer   is   being  
t

owed   or   a   bicycle   carrier   is   fitted   on  
a

  towbar   (vehicle   fitted   with   a   towbar  
i

nstalled   in   line   with   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations).In
  bad   weather   or   in   winter,   ensure  
t

hat   the   sensors   are   not   covered   with  m
ud,   ice   or   snow.   When   reverse   gear   is  e
ngaged,   an   audible   signal   (long   beep)  
i

ndicates   that   the   sensors   may   be   dirty.
Certain
  sound   sources   (motorcycle,  
l

orry,   pneumatic   drill,   etc.)   may   trigger  
t

he   audible   signals   of   the   parking  
s

ensor   system.
In
 
addition   to   the   rear   parking   sensors,   the  
f

ront
 
parking   sensors   are   triggered   when   an  
o

bstacle   is   detected   in   front   and   the   speed   of  
t

he
 
vehicle   is   still   below   6   mph   (10   km/h).
The
 
front   parking   sensors   are   interrupted   if  
t

he
 
vehicle   stops   for   more   than   three   seconds

360 Vision
This system provides a view in the instrument panel   of   the   near   surroundings   of   your   vehicle,  
u

sing   cameras   mounted   at   the   front   and   rear   of  
y

our   vehicle   and   under   the   door   mirrors.
Depending
  on   the   angle   of   view   chosen  
(front
  view,   rear   view   or   360°   panoramic   view),  
3

60 Vision   provides   special   visual   assistance  
i

n   particular   driving   conditions   such   as   when  
e

ntering   a   blind   crossing   or   manoeuvring   in  
a

reas   of   reduced   visibility.
Once
  activated,   this   function   operates   up   to  
9 m

ph   (15   km/h).   Above   18   mph   (30   km/h),   the  
f

unction   is   deactivated   automatically. This
  system   is   a   visual   aid   which   in   no  
c

ircumstances   can   replace   the   need   for  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The   images   provided   by   the   cameras  
m

ay   be   deformed   by   the   relief.   The  
p

resence   of   areas   in   shade,   in   sunny  
c

onditions,   or   of   low   ambient   light   may  
d

arken   the   image   and   reduce   contrast.
Forward vision
The camera located in the front bumper is a
ctivated   and   views   of   the   areas   located   at  
f

ront   left   and   front   right   appear   simultaneously  
i

Rear vision
The camera located in the tailgate is activated and   the   view   of   the   area   behind   your   vehicle   is  
d

isplayed   in   the   instrument   panel   and   behaves  
l

ike   a   reversing   camera,   whatever   the   position  
o

The
  blue   lines   represent   the   width   of   your  
v

ehicle   (excluding   mirrors):   they   move  
a

ccording   to   the   position   of   the   steering   wheel.
The
  red   line   represents   a   distance   of   30   cm

It
  controls   the   steering   while   the   driver  
m

anages   the   accelerator,   brakes,   gears   and  
c

lutch   (manual   gearbox).   During   phases   of  
e

ntry   into   and   exit   from   a   parking   space,   the  
s

ystem   provides   visual   and   audible   information  
t

o   the   driver   in   order   to   make   the   manoeuvres  
s

afe.   It   may   be   necessary   to   move   for wards  
a

nd   backwards   more   than   once. During
  a   manoeuvre   the   steering   wheel  
t

urns   quickly:   do   not   hold   the   steering  
w

heel,   do   not   place   your   hand   between  
t

he   spokes   of   the   steering   wheel   and  
t

ake   care   with   loose   and   bulky   clothing,  
s

carves,   handbags...   There   is   a   risk   of  
in

jury.
When
  Park   Assist   is   activated,   it  
p

revents   a   change   to   STOP   mode   of  
S

top   &   Start.   In   STOP   mode,   activation  
o

f   Park   Assist   restarts   the   engine.
The
  Park   Assist   system   cannot   in   any  
c

ircumstances   replace   the   need   for  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The
