vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch screen
using a camera located at the rear of the vehicle.




The screen is divided into two parts with a
contextual view and a view from above the vehicle
in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the information
on the view from above the vehicle.
Various contextual views may be displayed:
–
St
andard view.
–

180° vie
w.
–

Zoom vie
w.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses to display the
best view (standard or zoom).
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
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.
Rear vision

To activate the camera, located on the tailgate,
engage reverse and keep the speed of the vehicle
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The system is deactivated:
–

Aut
omatically, at speeds above approximately
12 mph (20 km/h),
–

Aut

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

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.
–

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 for performing the
parking manoeuvre on a sharp bend.
–

The s
ystem 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 boo
t 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 so
ft shoulder (e.g. ditch) or quay
or on the edge of a drop.

Advice on care and
maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging your vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in the
engine compartment, due to the risk of
damaging electrical components.

extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle at an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure
to lock the doors and, depending on version,
remove the electronic key and deactivate the
“hands-free” function (“Hands-Free Tailgate
Access”).
When using a pressure washer, hold the lance
at least 30 cm from the vehicle (particularly
when cleaning areas containing chipped paint,
sensors or seals).
