C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2016
This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle   (examples:   pedestrian,   vehicle,   tree,  
g

ate)   which   comes   within   the   field   of   detection  
o

f   sensors   located   in   the   bumper.
Certain
  types   of   obstacle   (examples:   stake,  
r

oadworks   cone)   detected   initially   will   no   longer  
b

e detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they
  are   located   in   blind   spots   in   the   sensors'  
f

ield
 o
f
 d
etection.
Parking sensors
This system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance   on   the   part   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
of   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
the
  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.

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is
  in   front   or   behind. The system will be deactivated
automatically
  if   a   trailer   is   being  
t

owed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
installed
  in   line   with   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud,
  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,
lorry,
  pneumatic   drill,   etc.)   may   trigger  
t

he   audible   signals   of   the   parking  
s

ensor   system.
As
 
an
 
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
the
 
vehicle   remains   below   6   mph   (10   km/h).
The
 
front   parking   sensors   are   interrupted   if  
t

he vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in
 
for ward   gear,   if   no   further   obstacles   are  
d

etected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds   6   mph   (10   km/h). The   parking   sensors   can   be   deactivated   in   the  
t

ouch   screen   tablet.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking.  It   detects   a   parking   space   then  
o

perates   the   steering   to   park   in   the   space.
It
  operates   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
to
  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  
w

heel   turns   quickly:   do   not   hold   the  
s

teering   wheel,   do   not   place   your   hands  
b

etween   the   spokes   of   the   steering  
w

heel   and   take   care   with   loose   and  
b

ulky   clothing,   scarves,   handbags...  
T

here   is   a   risk   of   injury.
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
vigilance
  on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The driver must remain in control
of
  their   vehicle   ensuring   that   the  
s

pace   remains   clear   throughout   the  
m

anoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors
may not detect small obstacles located
in
  their   blind   spots.
The
  driver   can   take   control   at   any   time   by  
g

ripping   the   steering   wheel. The
  Park   Assist   system   provides   assistance   for  t
he   following   manoeuvres:
