Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time
warning" may be combined with the "Fatigue
detection system".
Using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen, the system assesses the driver's
level of vigilance by identifying variations in
trajectory compared to the lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h)).Once the system considers that the behaviour
of the vehicle suggests a certain level of fatigue
or inattention by the driver, it triggers the first
level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
"
Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message " Take a break!",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal. In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system
may give alerts independent of the
driver's level of vigilance.
The following situations may inter fere
with the operation of the system or
prevent it working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting
of the roadway, falling snow, heavy
rain, dense fog, ...),
- d azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on
a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light, ...),
-
w
indscreen area located in front
of the camera: dirty, misted, frost-
covered, snow-covered, damaged
or covered by a sticker,
-
l
ane markings absent, worn,
masked (snow, mud) or multiple
(roadworks, ...),
-
c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-
r
oads that are narrow, winding, ...

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.

n the Driving
menu, select the " Driving

Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of
the system, when reverse gear is
engaged, this warning lamp flashes
for a few moments then stays on
continuously.
This indicator comes on in the
instrument panel.
A new selection reactivates the function.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not
direct the lance within 30 cm of the
sensors.
The parking sensors are deactivated
while the Park Assist system is
measuring a space.
For more information on Park Assist
,
refer to the corresponding section.
Deactivation / Activation of
the front and rear parking
sensors
A message appears, accompanied by an
audible signal.

Reversing camera
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
Depending on version, the image is displayed
in the touch screen or the instrument panel.
The superimposed representation of guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre.The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the difference corresponds to
the width of your vehicle without the mirrors).
The red lines represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines represent distances of
about
1 and 2 metres beyond the edge of your
vehicle's rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves represent the
maximum turning circle.
The reversing camera cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. Opening the tailgate causes the display
to disappear.
The reversing camera function may be
supplemented by parking sensors.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not
direct the lance within 30 cm of the
camera lens. They are represented by lines marked
"on the ground" and do not allow the
position of the vehicle to be determined
relative to tall obstacles (e.g. other
vehicles).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
It is normal to be able to see part of the
number plate at the bottom of the screen.
