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

an obstacle is detected, or by driver action. If the
driver notices a hazard, they may also interrupt
the manoeuvre permanently.
To suspend the manoeuvre, the driver can:
–
R
elease the function control button.
–

Depre
ss the brake pedal.
–

R
esume control of the steering.
–

manoeuvre is suspended.
This is confirmed by the display of this
symbol, accompanied by the message
"Manoeuvre suspended".
Resuming the manoeuvre after resolving the
conditions for suspending it:
►  Release all controls (brake pedal, function
control button, steering wheel, etc.).
►  Press the function control button again.
Permanent interruption after suspending the
manoeuvre:
►  Depress the brake pedal and engage a gear.

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.
