180° view
The 180° view assists with exiting from a
parking bay in forward gear, making it possible
to see the approach of vehicles, pedestrians
and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a complete manoeuvre.
It consists of 3 areas: left A, centre B and
right
C.
This view is available only from the view
selection menu.
Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking: it detects a parking space then
operates the steering system to park in this
space.
With a manual gearbox , the driver manages
the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch.
With an automatic gearbox (EAT6 / EAT8) ,
the driver manages the accelerator, brakes
and gears.
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.
The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.
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 Park Assist system cannot work with
the engine off.
A. Entry into a parallel parking space.
B. Exit from a parallel parking space.
C. Bay parking.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel per forms rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could block
the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scar ves,
ties, etc.) – injury risk!
When the Park Assist is active, it prevents
the Stop & Start going into STOP mode.
In STOP mode, activating Park Assist
restarts the engine.
The Park Assist system provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:
