this system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (examples: pedestrian, vehicle, tree,
gate) which comes within the field of detection
of sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (examples: stake,
roadworks cone) detected initially will no longer
be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they are located in blind spots in the sensors'
field of detection.
Parking sensors
the system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
th
is is confirmed by an audible signal.
th

e system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
Rear parking sensors
this supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the screen or the instrument
panel which move progressively nearer to
the vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the
"Danger" symbol is displayed.
Visual assistance
this system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
th
e proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.th e sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
th
e front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

180° rear vision
this system allows the near surroundings of the
vehicle to be viewed in the display screen using
cameras located at the rear of the vehicle. t
h
e
parking sensors in the rear and/or front bumper
complete the information on the view from
above the vehicle (right-hand part).
In addition to the view from above the vehicle
(right-hand part) several types of view can be
displayed (left-hand part):
-

s
tandard rear view,
-

80° rear view,
-
r

econstructed zoom rear view.
Principle of image
reconstruction
the system displays the contextual view
(left-hand part) as well as the view from above
the vehicle in its close surroundings.
By default, A
u
to
m
atic mode is activated.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information received from the parking sensors.
th

e 180° view is only available through the
menus.
th

e display disappears above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
th

e system is automatically deactivated
about 7 seconds after coming out of
reverse or on opening a door or the
boot.
th

is system is a visual aid and cannot
in any circumstances replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
th

e images provided by the cameras
may appear distorted by the
surroundings (exterior conditions,
driving mode, ...).
th

e presence of areas in shadow, bright
sunlight, or poor lighting conditions
may make the image dark and reduce
contrast.
us
ing the rear camera, the system records the
vehicle's surroundings during a manoeuvre.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the blue brackets) in real time and as
the manoeuvre progresses.
th
is representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows you to
see all of the obstacles close to the vehicle.
th
is reconstructed view is automatically erased
if the vehicle remains stationary for too long.

"Standard view""180° view"
"Zoom view" (reconstructed)
the camera records the surroundings during a
manoeuvre in order to create a reconstruction
of the view from above the rear of the vehicle in
its close surroundings, allowing the vehicle to
be manoeuvred among the obstacles nearby.
th

is view is available with A
u
to view or by
selecting of the view in the change view menu.
180° view makes it possible to reverse out of
a parking space while being able to see the
arrival of vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists.
th

is view is not recommended for carrying out
a complete manoeuvre.
It is made up of the following:
th

e area to the rear of your vehicle is displayed
in the screen.
th

e blue outline represents the width of your
vehicle (with mirrors): its orientation depends
on the position of the steering wheel.
th

e red line represents a distance of 30

cm
from the rear bumper and the two blue lines,
1 m and 2 m respectively.
Rear views
Engage reverse gear to activate the camera,
located on the tailgate or rear door.
th

e rear parking sensors also

Under-inflation detection
the system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
th

e system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.th e under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
th

is system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.th
e inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
ty

re pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
ot

her wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
Snow chains
the system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.
Spare wheel
the steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
