Operating limits
The system may issue an alert when the
vehicle is travelling on a long, straight
road with smooth road surface even if the
driver thinks they are holding the steering
wheel correctly.
The system may not operate or may produce
unsuitable corrections to the steering in the
following situations:
–

Poor visibility (insufficien
t road lighting,
snowfall, rain, fog). –

Dazzle (headlamp
s of an oncoming vehicle, low
sun, reflections on a wet road surface, leaving a
tunnel, alternating light and shade).
– Windscreen area in fron t of the camera dirty,
misted up, frost-covered, snow-covered, damaged
or covered by a sticker.
–

Lane markings eroded, partially hidden (
snow,
mud) or multiple (roadworks, surface joints).
–

Tra
velling in a tight bend.
–

Winding roads.
–


Pre
sence of a tarmac joint on the road.
Risk of undesirable operation
The system should be deactivated in the
following situations:
–

D

riving with a "space-saver" type spare
wheel.
–

When t
owing or with a bicycle carrier
attached to a towing device, particularly when
a trailer is not connected or the trailer is not an
approved type.
–

Adv
erse weather conditions.
–

D

riving on slippery road surfaces (risk of
aquaplaning, snow, ice).
–

In roadw
orks or toll booth areas.
–

D

riving on racing circuits.

129
Driving06
This is a normal behavior indicating that a
condition is not fulfilled and which does not
request the support of a workshop.
In any situations with ignition on where automatic
braking presents a risk, deactivating the system
via the driving aids touch screen application is
recommended, for instance:
–

T
owing a trailer (particularly a trailer without
its own braking system).
–

Carrying long objects on roo
f bars.
–

D
riving with snow chains.
–

U
sing an automatic car wash.
–

Performing an
y maintenance (e.g. changing a
wheel, working inside the engine compartment).
–

Placing the v
ehicle on a rolling bench in a
workshop.
–

T
owing the vehicle.
–

Follo
wing an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated
once the use of a different diameter
"space-saver" type spare wheel is detected, or
if a fault with the two lateral brake lamps is
detected.
The system diagnoses permanently its
capability and may inhibit itself without
specific driver indication, if the system is
outside of the regular operating conditions
(e.g. sensor initialization, board voltage out of
regular range, activation of stability system).
Therefore, the system may not be available
just after starting the vehicle.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The driver must not overload the vehicle
(keep within the GVW limit and load
height limits for roof bars).
Following an impact (e.g.  a collision), the
system is automatically deactivated.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver if there is a risk
of collision with the preceding vehicle, or with a
pedestrian or cyclist.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
The trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
►  Select one of the 3 preset
thresholds: "Far ", "Medium" or "Near".
The selected threshold is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the collision risk detected by the
system and the alert trigger threshold chosen
by the driver, different levels of alert may be
triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.
The system takes into account the vehicle
dynamics, the difference speed of the own vehicle
and the object identified for the collision risk, and
the operation of the vehicle (e.g. actions on the
pedals, steering wheel) to trigger the alert at the
most relevant moment.
(orange)
Level 1: visual alert only, warning that the
preceding vehicle is very close.
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.
(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning
that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake!" is displayed.
Level 3: a micro-braking may be given, confirming
the risk of collision (optional).
While approaching a vehicle too quickly,
the level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1 alert depends on the
trigger threshold selected. It reacts only on
moving vehicles. It is disabled automatically at
lower speed.

For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.


This system warns the driver of a potential
danger posed by the presence of another vehicle
(car, lorry, motorcycle) in the vehicle's blind
spots (areas hidden from the driver's field of
vision) using sensors located on the sides of the
bumpers.


A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the
side in question:
–

fix
ed, immediately, when being overtaken.

138
Driving06
The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) locates the obstacle relative to
the vehicle, whether in front of or behind it on
its path.
Side parking sensors

Using four additional sensors located on the sides
of the bumpers, the system records the position
of obstacles during the manoeuvre and indicates
them when they are located alongside the vehicle.
Only fixed obstacles are indicated
correctly. Moving obstacles detected at
the beginning of the manoeuvre may be
indicated mistakenly, while moving obstacles
that appear alongside the vehicle but were not
previously recorded will not be indicated.
Objects memorised during the manoeuvre
will no longer be stored after switching off
the ignition.
Deactivation/Activation
(Depending on country of sale)
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
If the function is deactivated, this
indicator lamp lights up on the instrument
panel.
The system status is saved when the ignition is
switched off.


The rear parking sensors are deactivated
automatically if a trailer or bicycle carrier
is connected to a towing device installed in
accordance with the Manufacturer's
recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a trailer is displayed
at the rear of the image of the vehicle.
When starting the vehicle, the graphic
and audible aids are only available after
the touch screen has started up.
Operating limits
If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt,
affecting distance measurements.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction when
changing into reverse gear, these
warning lamps light up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and an
audible signal (short beep).
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Reversing camera
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.
When reverse gear is engaged, with the engine
running, this system displays views of the
vehicle's close surroundings on the touch screen
using a camera located at the rear of the vehicle.




The screen is divided into 3 parts with a side
menu, a contextual view and a view from above
the vehicle in its close surroundings.

139

Depending on the context, the system chooses
the best view to display (standard or automatic
zoom).
The view type can be changed at any time during
the manoeuvre.
The system status is not saved when the ignition
is switched off.
Operating principle

Using the camera, the vehicle's close
surroundings are recorded during low speed
manoeuvres.
An image from above the vehicle in its close
surroundings is created in real time (on the side of
the screen), as the vehicle progresses.
This view makes it easier to align the vehicle
when parking and to perceive nearby obstacles. It is automatically deleted if the vehicle remains
stationary for too long.

y pressing the cross in the top left-hand corner
of the touch screen.
Automatic zoom view

The rear camera records the vehicle's
surroundings during the manoeuvre in order to
create a view from above the rear of the vehicle in
its close surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be
manoeuvred around nearby obstacles.
Using the sensors located on the rear bumper,
the automatic zoom view is displayed when
approaching an obstacle at the red line (less than
30 cm) during the manoeuvre.
This view is only available automatically.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
It is important to monitor the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
Parking sensors also provide additional
information about the area around the vehicle.
Standard view

The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the
screen.
The blue lines 1 represent the width of your
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their direction
changes according to the position of the steering
wheel.
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30 cm
from the rear bumper; the two blue lines 3 and 4
represent 1 m and 2 m, respectively.
This view is available automatically or by
selection in the side menu.

Towing device
Load distribution
►  Distribute the load in the trailer so that
the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance. The maximum towable
load must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and wiring
harnesses approved by the Manufacturer.
We recommend having them fitted by a dealer
or a qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a dealer, they must still be
fitted in accordance with the Manufacturer's
instructions.
Important: if the vehicle has a motorised
tailgate and Hands-Free Tailgate Access
function, and a towing device has been fitted
outside the dealer network, it is essential to
visit a dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the detection system recalibrated - risk of
malfunction of the Hands-Free Tailgate Access
function.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
For more information about driving with a
towing device fitted to a trailer and associated
with the Trailer stability assist, refer to the
corresponding section.
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, on the
manufacturer's label and in the Technical data
section of this guide.
