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 in the Info display is
divided into two parts. On the right
there is a view from above the vehicle,
and on the left there is the view from
the rear displayed. The parking
sensors complete the information on
the view from above the vehicle.
Activation 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 at any time during a
manoeuvre by pressing the touch
field in the left lower zone of the
display:
● Rear view
● Auto mode
● Zoom view
● 180° view
The display is immediately updated
with the type of view selected.
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

196Driving and operatingvehicle with mirrors unfolded. The
direction of the lines changes with the position of the steering wheel.
The first horizontal line represents a
distance of about 30 cm beyond the
edge of vehicle's rear bumper. The
upper horizontal lines represent
distances of about 1 and 2 m beyond
the edge of your vehicle's rear
bumper.
This view is available in AUTO mode
or in the view selection menu.

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.
Zoom view
The camera records the vehicle's
surroundings during the manoeuvre
in order to reconstruct a view from
above the rear of the vehicle in its
near surroundings, allowing the
vehicle to be manoeuvred aroundobstacles nearby. This view is
available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
180° view
The 180° view facilitates reversing
out of a parking bay, making it
possible to see the approach of
vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for
carrying out a complete manoeuvre.
It is made up of three areas: left 1,
centre 2 and right 3. This view is
available from the view selection menu only.
