ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (8/8)
Limitation of the system operation
– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert\
or any action on the system operation.
– The radar-camera should be kept clean and free of any modifications in o\
rder to ensure the proper operation of the
system.
– Fixed obstacles (stationary vehicles, traffic jams, toll booths etc.) or objects travelling at low speed or of a \
small size ( motor-
bikes, bicycles, pedestrians etc.) may not be detected by the system.
– A vehicle entering the same lane will only be detected once it has entere\
d the detection zone. Sudden or late braking may then take place.
– When entering a bend or curve, the radar-camera may temporarily no longe\
r detect the vehicle in front, and this may lead to acceleration.
– When exiting a curve, the detection of the vehicle in front may be affected or delayed. Sudden or late braking may then take place.
– A slower vehicle travelling in an adjacent lane may be detected and cause\
a slowing down if one of the two vehicles is trav- elling too close to the lane of the other.
– A slower vehicle with a wide difference in speed may not be taken into account by the system.
– The system is deactivated below around 31 mph (50 km/h). Drivers must \
react accordingly.
– Sudden changes in situation are not instantly taken into account by the \
system. Drivers must remain vigilant at all times and
under all circumstances.
System disturbance
Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such \
as:
– a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.) ;
– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);
– poor visibility (night, fog etc.);
– poor contrast between objects;
– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposi\
te direction etc.).
Risk of unwanted braking or acceleration.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/5)
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper
measure the distance between the ve-
hicle and an obstacle.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 20 to
30 centimetres from the obstacle.
The system detects obstacles to the
front, the rear and the sides of the ve-
hicle.
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
The parking distance control system
does not take into account towing and
load carrying systems etc.
This function is an addi-
tional aid that indicates the
distance between the vehi-
cle and an obstacle whilst
reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver’s care or respon-
sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always be ready
for sudden incidents while driv-
ing: always ensure that there are
no small, narrow moving obstacles
(such as a child, animal, pushchair,
bicycle, stone, post etc.) in the blind
spot when manoeuvring.
Special features
Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-
cated by arrows 1 are not obscured (by
dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

2.83
Operation
Most objects located less near the
front, rear and sides of the vehicle are
detected.
Depending on the distance of the ob-
stacle, the frequency of the beep will
be higher while approaching it, and
will become a continuous beep around
20 cm away for obstacles to the sides,
and around 30 cm for obstacles to the
front or rear. Green, orange and red
zones will be displayed on the dis-
play C.

Note: the display 2 shows the vehicle
surroundings and emits beeps.
It is necessary to travel a few metres
before the side detection is activated.
If all areas have a grey background, the
whole area around the vehicle is being
monitored:
– A: analysis of the vehicle surround-
ings in progress;
– B: analysis of the vehicle surround-
ings carried out.

2.84
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g. strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g. defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
Detection of obstacles to the side
Depending on the direction of the
wheels, the system determines the tra-
jectory of the vehicle and notifies the
driver of any risk or otherwise of a col-
lision with an obstacle 3 to the side of
the vehicle.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (3/5)
If a side obstacle is detected:
– the beeps become faster and then sound continuously as the obstacle
gets nearer. Green, orange and red
zones will be displayed on the dis-
play D;
– if there is no risk of collision, no beep will sound when approaching the ob-
stacle. Green, orange and red zones
will be displayed interspersed on the
display D.
Note: in the event of a change in tra-
jectory during a manoeuvre, the risk of
collision with an obstacles may be sig-
nalled late.

System sound
Enables the system sound to be
chosen.
Deactivating the system sound
Activate or deactivate the parking dis-
tance control sound.
Note: if you deactivate the sound, you
will no longer be notified with beeps
when approaching an obstacle.
Deactivating the system
Activate or deactivate parking distance
control.
Vehicles not fitted with a navigation
system
Vehicle stationary:
– press and hold the switch 5 OK to
access the settings menu;
– repeatedly press the control 6 up or
down until you reach the “Driving as-
sistance” menu;
– press the switch 5 OK;
– repeatedly press the control 6 up or
down until you reach the “Parking
distance control settings” menu;
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (4/5)
When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h), certain noises (motorcy-
cle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may
trigger the beeping sound of the
parking distance control.

Adjustment
You can adjust certain settings from the
multifunction screen 4. Please see the
equipment instructions for further infor-
mation.
Vehicles fitted with a navigation
system

Automatic deactivation of the
parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the vehicle speed is above ap-proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);
– depending on the model, when the vehicle is stationary for more than
approximately 5 seconds and an ob-
stacle is detected (such as when in a
traffic jam, etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral for manual gearboxes, or in position N
or P for automatic gearboxes.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (5/5)
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, a beep sounds for approximately
3 seconds each time reverse gear is
selected and is accompanied by the
message “Check parking sensor” on
the instrument panel. Consult an ap-
proved dealer

REVERSING CAMERA (1/2)
4 moving guide line:
This is shown in blue on the multifunc-
tion screen 2. It indicates the vehicle
trajectory according to the position of
the steering wheel.
Special feature
Make sure that the camera is not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow, condensa-
tion etc.).
Operation
When you change to reverse gear, the
camera 1 located on the tailgate pro-
vides a view of the area behind the
vehicle on the multimedia screen 2,
accompanied by one or two fixed or
moving guide lines 3 and 4.
This system is initially used with the aid
of several gauges (mobile for trajectory
and fixed for distance). When the red
zone is reached, use the bumper image
to stop accurately. Fixed gauge 3
The fixed clearance gauge comprises
coloured markers
A, B and C , indicat-
ing the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centime-
tres from the vehicle;
– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-
metres from the vehicle;
– C (green) approximately 150 centi-
metres from the vehicle.
This gauge remains fixed and indicates
the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are
in line with the vehicle.

This function is an additional
aid. It cannot, therefore,
under any circumstances
replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
The driver should always be ready
for sudden incidents while driv-
ing: always ensure that there are
no small, narrow moving obstacles
(such as a child, animal, pushchair,
bicycle, stone, post etc.) in the blind
spot when manoeuvring.
The screen shows a reverse mirror
image.
The frames are a representation
projected on a flat surface. This in-
formation is to not be taken into ac-
count when superimposed on a
vertical object or an object on the
ground.
Objects which appear on the edge
of the screen may be deformed.
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in
sunshine etc.), the camera vision
may be adversely affected.
If the boot is open or poorly closed,
the message “Boot open” appears
and the camera display disappears.
You can also adjust the camera image
settings (brightness, contrast, etc.)
Activating, deactivating the
reversing camera
From the multifunction screen 2, select
“Vehicle”, “Settings”, “Parking as-
sistance”, then “Rear view camera”.
Activate or deactivate the reversing
camera and confirm your choice.
