steering wheel.
The assistance is deactivated: the display of this symbol indicates that the
steering manoeuvres are no longer controlled
by the system: take over the steering.
Activation of Park Assist deactivates the Blind Spot Monitoring.
The Parking sensors function is not available during parking space
measurement. It intervenes later when
manoeuvring to warn that the vehicle is
approaching an obstacle: the audible signal
becomes continuous when the obstacle is
less than 30 centimetres away.
If the Parking sensors function has
been deactivated, it will be automatically
reactivated during the assisted manoeuvring
phases.
During parking and exit from parking
manoeuvres, the Top Rear Vision - Top
360 Vision functions may come into operation.
They allow better monitoring of the
surroundings of the vehicle, by displaying
additional information in the touch screen.
For more information on the Top Rear Vision
- Top 360 Vision


functions, refer to the
corresponding section.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
Any object exceeding the size of the vehicle
(e.g.
roof ladder, towball) is not taken
into account by the Park Assist during a
manoeuvre.
Always check the surroundings of the vehicle before starting a manoeuvre.
If the lateral distance between the vehicle and
the space is too great, the system may not be
able to measure the space.
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.
Beware of any object likely to block the

Roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for the vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
Maximum load distributed over the
transverse roof bars, for a loading height
not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carrier):
75

kg.
As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to
avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings
on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.


Sunroof
Do not operate the sunroof when using
roof bars - risk of major damage!
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load securely.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each
trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer
needed.
