or other objects; they may hamper correct
operation of the system.
Parking sensors
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.


This system detects and signals the proximity of
obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier)
using sensors located in the bumper.
Rear parking sensors
►  Engage reverse gear to start the system
(confirmed by an audible signal).
The system is switched off when reverse gear is
disengaged.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of
the steering wheel.


Depending on version, in the example shown, only
the obstacles present in the shaded area will be
signalled by the audible assistance.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
Adjusting the audible signalPressing this button opens the
window for adjusting the volume of
the audible signal.
Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen whose location
represents the distance between the obstacle
and the vehicle (white: more distant, orange:
close, red: very close).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the front
parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front parking sensor operation is suspended if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected
or the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Panoramic view

The panoramic view allows you to leave, in
reverse, a parking space by anticipating the
arrival of vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out a
complete manoeuvre.
This view is only available by selection in the side
menu.
360 Vision
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.
This system allows you to view your vehicle's
close surroundings on the touch screen using
cameras, located at the front and rear of the
vehicle.




The screen is divided into 4 parts with two side
menus, a contextual view and a view from above
the vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the information
in the view from above the vehicle.
Depending on the view angle chosen in the left-
hand side menu, the system provides specific
visual assistance in particular driving conditions,
such as entering a blind intersection or
manoeuvring in areas with reduced visibility.
Different contextual views are available for the
rear or for the front:
–
Aut
omatic zoom view.
–

St
andard view.
–

Panoramic vie
w.
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
Reconstructed view
The cameras are activated and a reconstruction
of a view from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is displayed on the touch screen.
Live view

The front and rear views automatically appear in
the view from above the vehicle.
It is also possible to display any live view by
selecting the corresponding zone.
The front view can be selected in forward gear up
to 10 mph (16 km/h).
Installing the very cold climate screen can
alter the image transmitted by the front
camera.
Settings
In the side menu, this menu allows you to
carry out the following operations:
–

adjust the v
olume of the audible signal.
–

adjust the brigh
tness.
–

adjust the c
ontrast.

after a puncture.
Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on
this label.
For more information on Identification
markings, particularly this label, refer to the
corresponding section.
For more information on the Tool kit, refer
to the corresponding section.
Repair procedure
Do not remove any foreign body (e.g. nail,
screw) which has penetrated the tyre.
►  Park the vehicle without obstructing traffic
and apply the parking brake.
►  Follow the safety instructions (hazard warning
lamps, warning triangle, high visibility jacket,
etc.) according to the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
►  Switch the ignition off.


► Remove the transparent cap from the bottle
of sealant.
►  Lift the protective cover before installing the
bottle of sealant on the compressor.
►  Turn the bottle of sealant over and screw it a
quarter turn into the compressor.
►  Remove the valve cap from the tyre to be
repaired, and place it in a clean place.


►  Uncoil the pipe stowed under the compressor.
►  Connect the pipe from the compressor to the
valve of the tyre to be repaired and tighten firmly.
►  Check that the compressor switch is in
position "O".
►  Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under
the compressor.
►  Connect the compressor's electric plug to the
vehicle's 12 V socket.
►  Affix the speed limit sticker.
The speed limit sticker must be affixed
inside the vehicle in the area close to the
driver, to remind them that a wheel is in
temporary use.
►  Switch the ignition on.


► Switch on the compressor by moving the
switch to position "I" until the tyre pressure
reaches 2 bar. The sealant product is injected
under pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk
of blowback).
If after approximately 7 minutes, the
pressure of 2 bar is not reached, this
indicates that the tyre is not repairable;
contact a dealer or a qualified workshop for
assistance.
