Panoramic view system This system allows views of the
vehicle's surroundings to be
displayed as a nearly 180° picture in
the Info Display, like a bird's eye view.
The system uses: ● rear camera, installed in the tailgate
● ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear bumper
The screen is divided into two parts: on the right there is a view from above
the vehicle, and on the left there are
different views displayed.
160Driving and operatingActivation
Panoramic view system is activated
by:
● engaging reverse gear
● driving up to 10 km/h
Functionality
Different views can be selected in the left part of the display. Change the
type of view by pressing the touch
field in the left lower zone of the
display:
● rear view
● auto mode
● zoom view
● 180° view
Auto mode is activated by default. In
this mode, the system selects the
best view, standard or zoom, to
display according to the information
from the parking sensors.
The state of the system is not kept in
memory when the ignition is switched
off.
Rear view
The area behind the vehicle is
displayed in the screen. The vertical
lines represent the width of the
vehicle with mirrors unfolded. The
direction of the lines changes with the steering angle.
The horizontal lines represent a
distance of about 30 cm, 1m and 2 m beyond the rear bumper.
This view is available in auto mode or
in the view selection menu.
Auto mode
This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the
automatic view changes from a rear
view to a view from above, as an
obstacle is approached during a
manoeuvre.
Driving and operating165Activation or DeactivationThe system can be activated or
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 95.
The state of the system stays in
memory when the ignition is switched
off.
Driving time alert
The driver gets notified by a pop-up reminder symbol € in the Driver
Information Centre simultaneously with an acoustic alert if the driver has not taken a break after 2 hours of
driving at a speed above 65 km/h. The
alert is repeated hourly until the
vehicle is stopped, no matter how
vehicle speed evolves.
The counting of driving time alert is
reset when the ignition has been
switched off for a few minutes.
Driver drowsiness detection
The system monitors the driver's level
of vigilance. A camera in the
windscreen detects variations in
trajectory compared to the lanemarkings. This system is particularly
suited for a speed higher than
65 km/h.
If the trajectory of the vehicle
suggests a certain level of
drowsiness or inattention by the
driver, the system triggers the first
level of alert. The driver is notified by
a message and an audible signal is
given.
After three first level alerts, the
system triggers a new alert with a
message, accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor
road surface or strong winds), the
system may give alerts independent
of the driver's level of vigilance.
The driver drowsiness detection is
reinitialised when the ignition has
been switched off for a few minutes or the speed remains below 65 km/h for a few minutes.System limitations
The system may not operate properly
when:
● dazzle caused by headlamps of an oncoming vehicles, low sun,
reflections on damp roads
● driving on winding, hilly or narrow
roads
● driving in the dark
● weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
● the camera is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt
● the windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign items, e.g.
stickers
● the sun is shining directly into the
camera lens
● close vehicles ahead
● banked roads
● road edges
● roads with poor lane markings
● multiple lane markings due to roadworks
● sudden lighting changes
