Choice of the type of
manoeuvre and search for
space
Depending on whether the vehicle has been
driven or not since the ignition was switched on,
the function proposes the entry to or exit from a
parking space on the touch screen.
►  Select the type and side of the manoeuvre to
activate the parking space search.
Illumination of this lamp confirms
activation.
It is possible to change the type of manoeuvre
at any time, including during the available space
search phase.
►  Drive at a distance of 0.50 to 1.50 m from the
row of parked vehicles, not exceeding 19 mph
(30 km/h), until the system finds an available
space (indicated by OK on the display and an
audible signal).
For "parallel" parking, the space must at
least equal to the length of your vehicle
plus 1 m.
For "bay" parking, the space must at least
equal to the width of your vehicle plus 0.70 m.
Preparing for the manoeuvre
►  Move very slowly until the request to stop
the vehicle and the "STOP" sign are displayed,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Once the vehicle has stopped, an instructions
page is displayed on the screen.
►  To prepare for the manoeuvre, you must fulfil
all of these instructions.
This symbol will be displayed automatically
when the instruction has been applied.
When all instructions have been validated, a
new screen is displayed, indicating that you can
undertake the manoeuvre.
►  To undertake the manoeuvre, press this
button.
►  While holding down the button, gradually
release the brake pedal.
The button must be held down throughout
the manoeuvre.
The start of the manoeuvre is indicated by the
display of a screen with the message "Manoeuvre
under way", accompanied by an audible signal.
Reversing camera and the parking sensors are
automatically activated to help you monitor the
close surrounding area of your vehicle throughout
the manoeuvre.
Performing the manoeuvre
As soon as the driver releases the brake pedal,
the system automatically takes control of
choosing the travel direction, forwards or reverse,
acceleration, braking and the steering direction.
The manoeuvring status is indicated by these
symbols:
Manoeuvre in progress.
Manoeuvre interrupted.
Manoeuvre completed or abandoned
(white arrows indicate that the driver must
take back control of their vehicle).
The direction of the manoeuvre is indicated by
these symbols:
Forward gear.
Reverse gear.
The central arrow is green whilst the vehicle is
moving, or white to indicate the next manoeuvring
direction.
Throughout the whole manoeuvre,
indicated by the green "AUTO" symbol, the
driver must hold the selector button down.
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!
If the vehicle slows down significantly, the
brake lamps may come on.
Pausing/resuming the manoeuvre
The manoeuvre can be interrupted temporarily
at any time, either automatically by the system if

126

tering a parking space, the driver may be
required to complete the manoeuvre. The gearbox
changes to P 4 seconds after completion of the
manoeuvre.
–

When e
xiting a parking space, the gearbox
changes to N when the manoeuvre is complete. A
message and symbols prompt the driver to take
back control of the vehicle.
The gearbox automatically changes to mode
P if no action is taken by the driver within 30
secondss.
Operating limits
– The system may suggest an inappropriate
parking space (parking prohibited, work in
progress with damaged road surface, location
alongside a ditch, etc.).
–

The s
ystem may indicate that a space has
been found but will not offer it because of a fixed
obstacle on the opposite side of the manoeuvre,
which does not allow the vehicle to follow the
trajectory required for parking.
–

The s
ystem may indicate that a space has been
found but the manoeuvre will not be triggered
because the width of the lane is insufficient.
–

The s
ystem is not designed to perform parking
manoeuvres on a steep slope or on a sharp curve.
– The 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.).
– The system may be impaired by incorrect
inflation of the vehicle’s tyres.
– The tilting of the vehicle if the boot is heavily
loaded can affect the distance measurements.
Do not use the function under the
following exterior conditions:
– Alongside a soft shoulder (ditch) or quay or
on the edge of a drop.
– When the road surface is slippery (ice).
Do not use the function in the presence of
one of the following malfunctions:
– If a tyre is under-inflated.
– If one of the bumpers is damaged.
– If one of the cameras is faulty.
– If the brake lamps are not working.
Do not use the function if the vehicle has
been subject to one of the following
modifications:
– When carrying an object extending beyond
the dimensions of the vehicle (ladder on the
roof bars, bicycle carrier on the tailgate, etc.).
– With a non-approved towball in place.
– With snow chains fitted.
– When driving on a small-diameter or "space-
saver" type spare wheel.

Practical information07
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.

► Activate the audible warning in the
"Navigation" menu and check the voice volume in
the sound settings.
The system does not suggest a detour around an
incident on the route.
The route settings do not take account of TMC
messages.
►  Configure the "Traffic info " function in
the route settings list (Without, Manual or
Automatic).
I receive a warning about a "Danger area" that is
not on my route.
As well as providing guided navigation, the
system announces all "Danger areas" positioned
in a cone located in front of the vehicle. It may
provide an alert for "Danger areas" located on
nearby or parallel roads.
►  Zoom the map to show the exact location
of the "Danger area". You can select "On the
route" to stop receiving warnings or decrease the
warning duration.
Certain traffic jams along the route are not
indicated in real time.
On starting, a few minutes may elapse before the
system begins to receive traffic information.
►  Wait until traffic information is being received
correctly (traffic information icons shown on the
map).
In certain countries, only major routes
(motorways, etc.) are listed for the traffic
information.
This is perfectly normal. The system is dependent
on the traffic information available. The altitude is not displayed.
On starting, GPS initialisation may take up to
3 minutes to receive more than 4 satellites
correctly.
► 
Wait until the system has started up
completely so that there is GPS coverage by at
least 4 satellites.
Depending on the geographical environment
(tunnel, etc.) or the weather, the conditions of
reception of the GPS signal may vary.
This behaviour is normal. The system is dependent
on the GPS signal reception conditions.
My navigation is no longer connected.
During start-up and in certain geographical areas,
the connection may be unavailable.
►  Check that the online services are activated
(settings, contract).
Radio
The reception quality of the tuned radio station
gradually deteriorates or the station presets are
not working (no sound, 87.5 MHz is displayed,
etc.).
The vehicle is too far from the selected station’s
transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.
►  Activate the "" function by means of the short-
cut menu to enable the system to check whether
there is a more powerful transmitter in the
geographical area.
The aerial is missing or has been damaged
(for example while entering a car wash or
underground car park). ► 
Have the aerial checked by a dealer.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,
basement car parks, etc.) is blocking reception,
including in RDS mode.
This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, and is not
indicative of an audio system malfunction.
I cannot find some radio stations in the list of
stations received.
The name of the radio station changes.
The station is no longer received or its name has
changed in the list.
Some radio stations send other information in
place of their name (the title of the song for
example).
The system interprets these details as the station
name.
►  Press the "Update list" button in the "Radio
stations” secondary menu.Media
Playback of my USB memory stick starts only
