For ''parallel'' parking, the space must at
a minimum be equal to the length of your
vehicle plus 0.60 m.
For ''bay'' parking, the width of the space must
be equal to the width of your vehicle plus 0.70
m.
If the parking sensors function has been
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle menu
of the touch screen, it will be automatically
reactivated when the system is activated.


When the system finds an available space, "OK" is
displayed on the parking view, accompanied by an
audible signal.
Preparing for the manoeuvre
►  Move very slowly until the request to stop
the vehicle is displayed: "Stop the vehicle“,
accompanied by the “STOP” sign and an audible
signal. Once the vehicle has stopped, an instructions
page is displayed on the screen.
► 
To prepare for the manoeuvre, follow the
instructions.
The start of the manoeuvre is indicated by the
"Manoeuvre under way" onscreen message and
an accompanying audible signal.
Reversing is indicated by this message: “Release
the steering wheel, reverse”.
The Reversing camera and the parking sensors
are automatically activated to help you monitor
the area immediately surrounding your vehicle
during the manoeuvre.
During the manoeuvre
The system controls the vehicle’s steering. It
gives instructions on the manoeuvring direction
when starting "parallel" entry and exit parking
manoeuvres, and for all "bay" entry manoeuvres.
There instructions are displayed as a symbol
accompanied by a message:
"Reverse".
“Go forwards".
The manoeuvring status is indicated by these
symbols:
Manoeuvre in progress (green).
Manoeuvre cancelled or finished (red) (the
arrows indicate that the driver must
resume control of the vehicle).
The maximum speeds during manoeuvres are
indicated by these symbols:
75 mph or 7 km/h, for parking space entry.
53 mph or 5 km/h, for parking space exit.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel performs rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel or put your hands between
the spokes of the steering wheel. Watch out
for any objects that could interfere with the
manoeuvre (loose clothing, scarf, tie, etc.).
Risk of injury!
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor the traffic, especially vehicles coming
towards you.
The driver should check that no objects or
people are obstructing the vehicle’s path.
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen may be distorted by
the terrain.
In shady areas, or in inadequate sunlight
or lighting conditions, the image may be
darkened and with lower contrast
The manoeuvre can be permanently interrupted at
any time, either by the driver or automatically by
the system.
Interruption by the driver:
–

t

aking over control of the steering.
– activating the direction indicator lamps on the
opposite side to that of the manoeuvre.
– unfastening the driver's seat belt.
– switching off the ignition.
Interruption by the system:
– vehicle exceeding the speed limit of 5 mph
(7 km/h) during parking space entry manoeuvres,
or 3 mph (5 km/h) during parking space exit
manoeuvres.
– activation of anti-slip regulation on a slippery
road.
– opening of a door or the boot.
– engine stall.
– system malfunction.
– after 10 manoeuvres to enter or exit a parallel
parking space and after 7 manoeuvres to enter a
parking bay.
Interrupting the manoeuvre automatically
deactivates the function.
The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,
accompanied by the "Manoeuvre cancelled"
message on the touch screen.
A message prompts the driver to take back
control of the vehicle.
The function is deactivated after a few
seconds; this warning lamp goes off and
the function returns to the initial display.
End of the parking space entry or exit
manoeuvre
The vehicle stops as soon as the manoeuvre is
completed.

reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,
the shock absorbers have a major impact on
road-holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is important
to have them regularly checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
Timing and accessory kits are used from
the time the engine is started until it is
switched off. It is normal for them to wear over
time.
A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the
recommended replacement frequency, stated in
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is
reached first.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of Diesel engines, the Manufacturer
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with a
system that associates SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter (DPF) for
the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR System
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in a special tank
holding about 15 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 5,600 miles (9,000 km), which may
vary considerably depending on your driving style.
An alert system is triggered once the reserve level
is reached: it is then possible to drive for a further
1,500 miles (2,400 km) before the tank is empty
and the vehicle blocked.
For more information on the Warning and
indicator lamps and the associated alerts,
or the Indicators, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a system
required by legislation prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard: the vehicle becomes
polluting.
In the event of a confirmed SCR system
malfunction, it is essential to visit a dealer or a
qualified workshop. After 680 miles (1,100 km),
a device is automatically activated to prevent
the engine from starting.
In both cases, a range indicator indicates
the distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is stopped.
Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue driving
in very cold conditions.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped up
as soon as the first alert is issued indicating that
the reserve level has been reached.
For the correct operation of the SCR
system:
–

U

se only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the ISO
22241 standard.
–

Ne

ver transfer AdBlue
® to another container
as it would lose its purity.
–

Ne

ver dilute AdBlue
® with water.
It is possible to obtain AdBlue
® from a dealer or a
qualified workshop as well as at service stations
equipped with AdBlue
® pumps specially designed
for passenger vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates
above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a
cool area and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for
at least a year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out at room temperature.
Never store AdBlue
® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is non-
flammable, colourless and odourless (when kept
in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue
® out of the reach of children,
in its original container.

Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11 °C. Otherwise, the
AdBlue
® may be frozen and therefore cannot be
poured into its tank. Park your vehicle in a warmer
area for a few hours to allow the top-up to be
carried out.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a
sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after an
AdBlue breakdown, you must wait about
5 minutes before switching on the ignition,
without opening the driver's door, unlocking
the vehicle or bringing the electronic key into
the passenger compartment.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10
seconds before starting the engine.
►  Press the "START/STOP" button to switch off
the engine.


►  Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank a 6th of a
turn anti-clockwise and remove it.
►  With a container of AdBlue
®: after checking
the expiry date, read carefully the instructions
on the label before pouring the contents of the
container into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.
►  With an AdBlue
® pump: introduce the nozzle
and fill the tank until the automatic cut-off of the
nozzle.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:
–
Add betw
een 10 and 13 litres using
AdBlue
® containers.
–
St
op after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-
out, if you are refilling at a service station.
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty
– which is confirmed by the “Top
up AdBlue: Starting impossible” message – it is
essential to add at least 5 litres.

If this label is present, use only a 12 V
charger to avoid causing irreversible
damage to the electrical components related
to the Stop & Start system.
Never try to charge a frozen battery - risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked by
a dealer or by a qualified workshop who will
verify that the internal components have not
been damaged and that the case has not
cracked, which would mean a risk of toxic and
corrosive acid leaking.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of charge
for starting the engine, it is recommended that
the battery be disconnected if the vehicle is taken
out of service for a long period. Before disconnecting the battery:
► 
Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof).
►  Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
►  Switch off the ignition and wait for 4 minutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to disconnect
the (+) terminal.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal

►  Depending on equipment, lift the plastic cover
on the (+) terminal.
►  Raise lever A fully to release clamp B.
►  Remove clamp B by lifting it off.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal

► Raise lever A fully.
►  Refit the open clamp B on the (+) terminal.
►  Push clamp B fully down.
►  Lower lever A to lock clamp B.
►  Depending on equipment, lower the plastic
cover on the (+) terminal.
Do not force the lever as locking will be
impossible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
After reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the
engine, to enable the electronic systems to
initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reset certain
equipment:
– Electronic key.
– Electric windows.
– Date and time.
– Preset radio stations.
After reconnection of the battery, the
“Collision risk detection system fault”
message is displayed on the instrument panel
when the ignition is switched on. This
operation is perfectly normal. The message
will disappear while driving.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous period of
immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
