The brake lamps illuminate as soon as
the braking system is activated with
deceleration of the vehicle.This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need to
obser ve speed limits and safety distances,
nor the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver.
Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be poorly
interpreted by the camera (e.g. a lorry),
which may lead to a poor assessment
of the distances and lead to the vehicle
inappropriately accelerating or braking.
The driver must be ready at all times to
retake control of their vehicle by keeping
both hands on the steering wheel and
keeping the feet near the brake and
accelerator pedals.

4. Pause/Resume cruise control.
5. Use the speed suggested by the Speed
Limit recognition and recommendation.
6. Display and adjustment of the programmed
inter-vehicle distance.

The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting of
the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),
-
d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-
w
indscreen area located in front of the
camera dirty, misted up, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a s t i c ke r,
-
l
ane markings absent, worn, hidden
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,
e t c .),
-
c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-
r
oads that are narrow, winding, etc. Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's
level of vigilance.
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message "
Take a break!",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal.
Parking sensors
This function is a manoeuvring aid which
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain attentive and stay
in control of their vehicle.
They must always check the vehicle’s
surroundings before undertaking a
manoeuvre.
During the entire manoeuvre, the driver
must ensure that the space remains clear.
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
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.
Audible assistance
The function signals the presence of obstacles
present both within the sensors’ detection
zone and in the vehicle path defined by the
orientation of the steering wheel.

The deactivation or activation
is carried out via the vehicle
configuration menu.
The state of the function stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
F
T
o deactivate or activate the system, press
this button.
The indicator lamp is illuminated when the
system is deactivated. The parking sensors are deactivated while the
Park Assist system is measuring a space.
For more information on the Park Assist
, refer
to the corresponding section.
Operating limits
The rear parking sensors system will
be deactivated automatically if a trailer
or bicycle carrier is connected to a
towing device installed in line with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a trailer is
displayed at the rear of the image of the
vehicle.

ertain obstacles located in the sensors’
blind spots may not be detected or no

-
S
ounds such as those emitted by noisy
vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,

vehicle's sensors.
-
C
ertain materials (fabrics) absorb sound

-
A
ccumulated snow or dead leaves on the
road sur face can inter fere with the vehicle's
sensors.
Maintenance
recommendations
In bad or wintry weather, 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.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, keep the
lance at least 30 cm away from the
sensors.
-
A f
ront or rear impact to the vehicle can
distort the settings of the sensors, which is
not always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be incorrect.
-

he tilting of the vehicle if the boot is
very loaded can affect the distance
measurements.

Operating limits
- The system may suggest an inappropriate parking space (parking prohibited, work
in progress with damaged road sur face,
location alongside a ditch, etc.).
-
T
he system may indicate that a space
was found but will not offer it because of
a fixed obstacle on the opposite side of
the manoeuvre which would not allow the
vehicle to follow a trajectory required for
parking.
-
T
he system is not designed for per forming
the parking manoeuvre on a sharp curve.
-
T
he system does not detect spaces that are
much larger than the vehicle itself or that
are delimited by obstacles that are too low
(pavements, studs, etc.) or too thin (trees,
posts, wire fences, etc.).
-
C
ertain obstacles located in the sensors’
blind spots may not be detected or no
longer be detected during the manoeuvre.
-
C
ertain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
-
A f
ront or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensor settings which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be falsified. The vehicle's sensors and camera(s) may be
impaired by:
-
a
ccumulated snow or fallen leaves on the
road,
-
a
dverse weather conditions (heavy rain,
thick fog, falling snow),
-
nois
e interference from noisy vehicles and
machinery (lorries, pneumatic drills, etc.).
Do not use the function under the
following exterior conditions:
-
A
longside a soft shoulder (ditch, etc.)
or quay or on a cliff edge.
-
W
hen the road sur face is slippery (ice,

If necessary, clean the camera lenses with
a soft, dry cloth.
-
I
f using a high-pressure washer, do not
direct the spray less than 30
cm from the
sensors and cameras.
