Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space.
I t controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (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 manoeuvre safe. It may be necessary to move
f
or wards and backwards more than once.
The
Park Assist system cannot in any
c
ircumstances replace the need for
v
igilance on the part of the driver.
The
driver must remain in control of
t
heir vehicle ensuring that the space
r
emains clear during the manoeuvre.
In
some circumstances, the sensors
m
ay not detect small obstacles located
i
n their blind spots. Changing
tyre sizes (out-size tyres,
w
inter tyres, ...) can inter fere with
t
he correct operation of the parking
a
ssistance system.
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. For
entry into a parking space (parallel
p
arking) the system does not detect
s
paces which are clearly much smaller
o
r larger than the size of the vehicle.
This
"parking assistance" system
i
s activated automatically during
m
anoeuvres; it is therefore possible
t
hat a symbol comes on in the screen,
a
ccompanied by an audible signal,
w
ithout affecting the manoeuvre.The
selection of the type of manoeuvre
(
entering or exiting a parallel parking
s
pace) prevents a change to STOP
m
ode of Stop & Start.
In
STOP mode, this selection restarts
t
he
eng
ine.
The
driver can take control at any time by gripping the steering wheel.
