For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.


This system warns the driver of a potential
danger posed by the presence of another vehicle
(car, lorry, motorcycle) in the vehicle's blind
spots (areas hidden from the driver's field of
vision) using sensors located on the sides of the
bumpers.


A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the
side in question:

or other objects; they may hamper correct
operation of the system.
Parking sensors
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.


This system detects and signals the proximity of
obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier)
using sensors located in the bumper.
Rear parking sensors
►  Engage reverse gear to start the system
(confirmed by an audible signal).
The system is switched off when reverse gear is
disengaged.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of
the steering wheel.


Depending on version, in the example shown, only
the obstacles present in the shaded area will be
signalled by the audible assistance.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
Adjusting the audible signalPressing this button opens the
window for adjusting the volume of
the audible signal.
Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen whose location
represents the distance between the obstacle
and the vehicle (white: more distant, orange:
close, red: very close).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the front
parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front parking sensor operation is suspended if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected
or the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

138
Driving06
The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) locates the obstacle relative to
the vehicle, whether in front of or behind it on
its path.
Side parking sensors

Using four additional sensors located on the sides
of the bumpers, the system records the position
of obstacles during the manoeuvre and indicates
them when they are located alongside the vehicle.
Only fixed obstacles are indicated
correctly. Moving obstacles detected at
the beginning of the manoeuvre may be
indicated mistakenly, while moving obstacles
that appear alongside the vehicle but were not
previously recorded will not be indicated.
Objects memorised during the manoeuvre
will no longer be stored after switching off
the ignition.
Deactivation/Activation
(Depending on country of sale)
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
If the function is deactivated, this
indicator lamp lights up on the instrument
panel.
The system status is saved when the ignition is
switched off.


The rear parking sensors are deactivated
automatically if a trailer or bicycle carrier
is connected to a towing device installed in
accordance with the Manufacturer's
recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a trailer is displayed
at the rear of the image of the vehicle.
When starting the vehicle, the graphic
and audible aids are only available after
the touch screen has started up.
Operating limits
If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt,
affecting distance measurements.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction when
changing into reverse gear, these
warning lamps light up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and an
audible signal (short beep).
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Reversing camera
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.
When reverse gear is engaged, with the engine
running, this system displays views of the
vehicle's close surroundings on the touch screen
using a camera located at the rear of the vehicle.




The screen is divided into 3 parts with a side
menu, a contextual view and a view from above
the vehicle in its close surroundings.

The rear camera records the vehicle's
surroundings during the manoeuvre in order to
create a view from above the rear of the vehicle in
its close surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be
manoeuvred around nearby obstacles.
Using the sensors located on the rear bumper,
the automatic zoom view is displayed when
approaching an obstacle at the red line (less than
30 cm) during the manoeuvre.
This view is only available automatically.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
It is important to monitor the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
Parking sensors also provide additional
information about the area around the vehicle.
Standard view

The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the
screen.
The blue lines 1 represent the width of your
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their direction
changes according to the position of the steering
wheel.
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30 cm
from the rear bumper; the two blue lines 3 and 4
represent 1 m and 2 m, respectively.
This view is available automatically or by
selection in the side menu.

Compatibility of fuels
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol respectively.

Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".

Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(e.g. pure or diluted vegetable or animal
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk
of damaging the engine and fuel system!
The only fuel additives authorised for use
are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could prevent the engine from operating correctly. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50 % full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular fuel
may be required (specific octane rating, specific
trade name, etc.) to ensure correct operation of
the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 55
litres (Diesel), 62 litres (Petrol) or 43 litres
(Rechargeable hybrid).
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, this
warning lamp lights up on the instrument
panel, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal. When it first comes on,
about 6 litres of fuel remain.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the message and the audible
signal. When driving, this message and audible
signal are repeated with increasing frequency as
the fuel level drops towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp
indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located on.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
Any addition of fuel must be in quantities of at
least 10 litres, in order to be registered by the fuel
gauge.
Opening the filler flap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal,
resulting from the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►  Always switch off the engine.
