Reversing camera
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .With the ignition on, this system uses a camera
located near the third brake lamp to display
a view of the rear of your vehicle on the
reproduction screen (if it is a panel van or has a
solid partition).
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged. The image
is displayed on the reproduction screen. The
reproduction screen switches off when the
gearbox is in neutral or in a forward gear.
The blue lines 1 represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the gap corresponds to the width
of your vehicle with the mirrors).
The red line 2 represents a distance of about
30
cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
bumper.
The green lines 3 represent distances of about 1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves 4 represent the
maximum turning circle.
Some objects may not be seen by the
camera.
Certain vehicles may be difficult to see
(dark colours, lamps off) when the
brightness of the screen is reduced using the
vehicle’s lighting dimmer.
The image quality may be affected by the surroundings, the exterior conditions
(rain, dirt, dust), the driving mode and the
lighting conditions (night, low sun).
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
During parking manoeuvres and lane
changes, it is important to check the sides of
the vehicle using the mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also supplement the
information on the vehicle's surroundings.

Surround Rear Vision
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
With the ignition on, in order to improve visibility
of the passenger side blind spot and the rear
of the vehicle, this system uses two cameras
to display the views of the vehicle’s close
surroundings on the reproduction screen (panel
van or fitted with a solid partition).
This system has three sub-functions:
– Passenger side view : shows the area at the
passenger side of the vehicle.
The orange line 1 represents a distance of 5
m
from the rear bumper.
– Surveillance rear view : shows a long-
distance view of the area at the rear.
The orange line 1 represents a distance of 5

– Visual reversing assistance : shows a view
of the area close to the rear of the vehicle.
The blue dimension lines 1 represent the width
of your vehicle with the mirrors unfolded.
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper; the two green lines 3 and
4 represent 1
m and 2 m, respectively.
The blue curves 5 appear successively; they
are based on the position of the steering wheel
and represent the turning circle radius of your
vehicle.
The orange dashes 6 represent the opening radii
of the rear doors.
Please routinely check your exterior
mirrors while driving and during
manoeuvres.
Some items may not be seen by the rear
camera.
Certain vehicles may be difficult to see
(dark colours, lamps off) when the
brightness of the screen is reduced using the
vehicle’s lighting dimmer.
The image quality may be affected by the environment, the exterior conditions
(rain, dirt, dust), the driving mode and the
lighting conditions (night, low sun).
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
During parking manoeuvres and lane
changes, it is important to check the sides of

Principle of operation
Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the brackets) in real time and as the
manoeuvre progresses.
It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when
parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle
to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.

This system provides active parking assistance:
it detects a parking space and then steers in the
appropriate direction to park in the space while
the driver controls the driving direction, gear
changes, acceleration and braking.
To help the driver monitor the manoeuvre, the
system automatically triggers the display from
the
T
op Rear Vision function and activates the
parking sensors.
The system measures the available parking
spaces and calculates the distances to obstacles
using ultrasonic sensors built into the front and
rear bumpers of the vehicle.
The system assists with the following
manoeuvres:
A. Entering a "parallel" parking space
B. Leaving a "parallel" parking space
C. Entering a "bay" parking space
Operation

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 system 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 would not allow the vehicle to follow a
trajectory required for parking.
–
The system may indicate that a space has
been found but the manoeuvre will not be
triggered, because the width of the lane is
insufficient.
–
The system is not designed for performing the
parking manoeuvre on a sharp bend.
–
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.).
–
If the boot is heavily loaded, the tilt of the
vehicle towards the rear may interfere with the
distance measurements.
Do not use the function under the
following exterior conditions:
–
Alongside a soft shoulder (e.g. ditch) or
quay or on the edge of a drop.
–
When the road surface is slippery (e.g. ice).
If any of the following malfunctions
occurs, do not use the system:
–
If a tyre is under-inflated.
–
If one of the bumpers is damaged.
–
If one of the cameras is faulty
.

Practical information
Compatibility of fuels
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol
respectively.
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (e.g. pure or diluted vegetable or animal
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk
of damaging the engine and fuel system!
The only fuel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel fuels could prevent the engine from operating
correctly
. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50 % full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 61 litres
(Petrol) or 50 litres (Diesel).
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
/2
1 1When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp lights up on the
instrument panel, accompanied by the display of
a message and an audible signal. When it first
comes on, about 6 litres of fuel remain.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the message and the audible
signal. When driving, this message and audible
signal are repeated with increasing frequency as
the fuel level drops towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located on.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
At least 10 litres of fuel must be added, in order
to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This is entirely normal and
results from the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►
Always switch off the engine.
►
Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Entry
and Start.
►
Open the fuel filler flap.
