This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, gate)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (e.g. 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
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.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right-hand
or left-hand) 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.
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.

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
towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
installed in line with the manufacturer's
recommendations).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.
As an addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle remains below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The 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).
The parking sensors can be deactivated in the
touch screen.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking. It detects a parking space then
operates the steering to park in the space.
It operates 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 manoeuvres
safe. It may be necessary to move for wards
and backwards more than once.During a manoeuvre, the steering
wheel turns quickly: do not hold the
steering wheel, do not place your
hands between the spokes of the
steering wheel and take care with
loose and bulky clothing (scarves, ties,
handbags...) - Risk of injury!
When Park Assist is activated, it
prevents a change to STOP mode of
Stop & Start. In STOP mode, activation
of Park Assist restarts the engine.
This manoeuvring assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle ensuring that the space remains
clear throughout the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in
their blind spots.
The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel. The Park Assist system provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:
A.

B.
E

C.
B

ay parkingThe Park Assist system takes control
of the power steering for a maximum
of 4 manoeuvre cycles. The function
is deactivated after these 4 cycles.
If you think that your vehicle is not
positioned correctly, you should then
take control of the steering to carry out
the manoeuvre.
The Park Assist system cannot work
with the engine off.

The sequence of manoeuvres and the
driving instructions are displayed in the
instrument panel.You should always check the
surroundings of your vehicle before
starting a manoeuvre.
The assistance is
deactivated: the display of
this symbol indicates that
the steering manoeuvres
are no longer controlled by
the system: you must take
control of the steering. The assistance is
activated: the display of this
symbol and a speed limit
indicate that the steering
manoeuvres are controlled
by the system: do not touch
the steering wheel. The parking sensors function is
not available during parking space
measurement. It intervenes later when
manoeuvring to warn you that your
vehicle is approaching an obstacle: the
audible signal becomes continuous
when the obstacle is less than thirty
centimetres away.
If you have deactivated the parking
sensors, they are automatically
reactivated during assisted parking
manoeuvres.
Activation of Park Assist deactivates the
Blind Spot Monitoring System.
