The change from one level of alert to the next takes place if the driving
c
onditions do not change (speed
u
nchanged, no change of lane...)
Severe
weather conditions (very heavy
r
ain, accumulation of snow in front
o
f the radar) may inter fere with the
o
peration of the system, resulting in
t
he display of the message "System
inactive: Reduced visibility ".
The
s
ystem remains unavailable until the
m
essage
d
isappears.
If
the speed of your vehicle is too high
w
hen approaching another vehicle, the
f
irst level of alert may not be displayed:
t
he level 2 alert may be displayed
d

On
the other hand, the level 1 alert
i
s never displayed with the triggering
t
hreshold 3 (close).
Alerts
According to the collision risk detected by the system and the alert threshold chosen, three
l
evels of alert can be triggered.
Level 1 :
visual alert only (orange)
i
ndicating that the vehicle in front is
v
ery close. The message "Vehicle
close "
is displayed.
Level 2 :
visual (red) and audible
a
lerts indicating that a collision is
i
mminent. The message "Brake! " is
displayed.
This
level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
t
ime between your vehicle and the one in front.
This
level of alert is based on a time before
c
ollision. It takes account of the vehicle
d
ynamics, the speed of your vehicle and
t
he speed of the vehicle in front, the driving
c
onditions, the situation with your vehicle
(
cornering, pedals pressed, etc.) to trigger the
a
lert at the right moment. Level 3
: an increase in t
he tension of the driver's
s
eat belt, to hold the driver
a
gainst the backrest of their
sea
t.
The
3
rd level of alert is not triggered or i
s
interrupted in the event of an impact
b
etween the two vehicles.
The increase in the tension of the
driver's
seat belt is intended only as an
a
lert:
it
does not in any circumstances
a
ssure
the function of driver safety.
The
triggering of this alert does not act

Operating fault
In the event of a fault, you are
alerted by the display of the Service

m
essage.

w
orkshop. The
operation of the radar, located in
t
he front bumper, may be disturbed by
a
ccumulations of grime (dust, mud...) or
i
n certain weather conditions
(snow,

The

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 due to
t
he presence of blind spots.
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
ear. This is accompanied 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 w
hich increases 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.

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
v
iew, 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
n the instrument panel.
Rear vision
The camera located in the tailgate is activated and the view of the area behind your vehicle is

l
ike a reversing camera, whatever the position
o
f the gear selector lever.
The
blue lines represent the width of your
