50 cm while reverse gear is engaged.
Depending on which side of the
vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you
will hear acoustic warning signals in
the vehicle on the respective side.
The interval between the sounds
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,
the sound is continuous.

system for a prolonged period.
Fault
In the event of a fault, a message is
displayed in the Colour Info Display, accompanied by an acoustic signal.
In the event of a fault in the power
steering, H illuminates and a
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention must be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.
Caution
Performance of the system can be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.

Driving and operating195The state of the system is stored
when switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically
deactivated when towing an
electrically connected trailer.
Due to adverse weather conditions
such as heavy rain, false detections
may occur.
Fault
In the event of a fault, B flashes for a
few moments in the instrument panel,
accompanied by R and a display
message. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
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

Driving and operating201vehicle and is always required to
keep the hands on the steering
wheel while driving.
Using the system while towing a
trailer or on slippery roads could
cause loss of control of the vehicle
and a crash. Switch the system off.
Driver alert
The driver alert system monitores thedriving time and the vigilance of the
driver. Monitoring the vigilance of the
driver is based on the trajectory
variations of the vehicle compared to
the lane markings.
The system includes a driving time alert combined with driver drowsiness
detection.
9 Warning
The system cannot replace the
need for vigilance on the part of
the driver. Taking a break is
recommended as soon as feeling tired or at least every two hours.
Do not take the steering wheel
when feeling tired.
Activation or Deactivation
The system can be activated or
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 119.
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 if one of the following conditions is met:
● The vehicle has been stationary for more than 15 minutes with theengine running.
● The ignition has been switched off for a few minutes.
● The driver's seat belt has been unfastened and the driver's door
is open.
Note
If the vehicle speed drops below
65 km/h, the system is paused. The
driving time is counted again once
the speed is above 65 km/h.
Driver drowsiness detection
The system monitors the driver's level
of vigilance. A camera at the top of the windscreen detects variations in
trajectory compared to the lane
markings. This system is particularly
suited to fast roads (speed higher
than 65 km/h).
If the trajectory of the vehicle
suggests a certain level of
drowsiness or inattention by the

202Driving and operatingdriver, 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 limitationsIn the following situations, the system
may not operate properly or even not
operate at all:
● poor visibility caused by inadequate lighting of the
roadway, falling snow, heavy
rain, dense fog etc.● dazzle caused by headlamps of oncoming vehicles, low sun,
reflections on damp roads,
leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light etc.
● windscreen area in front of the camera covered by dirt, snow,
stickers etc.
● no lane markings detected or multiple lane markings due to
roadworks
● close vehicles ahead
● winding roads or narrow roadsFuel
