Engagement/Disengagement
To turn the system off, push the Park
Sensors System switch located to the
left of the headlight switch. The indicator
light within the switch will illuminate
when the system is turned off. Pushing
the switch a second time will turn the
system back on, and the indicator light
will turn off.
The indicator light within the Park
Sensors System switch will also be on in
case of system failure. If the switch is
pushed with a system failure, the
indicator light will flash for
approximately five seconds. The light will
then stay on constantly.
Note:When the ignition is cycled to ON,
the Park Sensors system keeps the last
state when the engine was stopped
(activated or deactivated) in its memory. System Activation/Deactivation
When the REVERSE gear is engaged and
the system is on, the front and rear
sensors are activated. If the vehicle
moves from REVERSE to a forward gear,
the rear sensors are deactivated, while
the front sensors remain active until the
speed of 9 mph (15 km/h) is exceeded.
Note:
In certain operating conditions, the
system could start detecting an obstacle
only after the vehicle has moved slightly
(a few inches).
Acoustic Signal
In the presence of an obstacle at the
front or the rear of the vehicle, an
acoustic signal with variable frequency
will sound:
The acoustic signal increases in
frequency as the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle decreases.
The acoustic signal becomes
continuous when the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
11 inches (30 cm), and stops if the
distance increases.
The acoustic signal is constant if the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is unchanged.
Note: If the sensors detect several front
and rear obstacles, the closest obstacle
is considered. An intermittent signal will
sound if the obstacles are at the same
distance (front and rear). When the system emits an acoustic
signal, the volume of the Information and
Entertainment System, if activated, is
automatically lowered.
Indication On Display
The driver can select the type of warning
they would like to be displayed through
the Information and Entertainment
System. To access the function on the
main menu, select in the following order:
1. “Settings.”
2. “Driver Assistance.”
3. “ParkSense.”
4. “Mode.”
5. “Sound-Display.”
Visual Indications
The system indicates the presence of an
obstacle by displaying a single red arc in
the detected areas, in relation to the
distance of the object and the position of
the vehicle.
If the obstacle is detected in the front or
rear central area, a single red arc will be
displayed as the obstacle approaches,
first constant, then flashing, in addition
to an acoustic signal.
If the obstacle is detected in the front or
rear left and/or right area, a single red
flashing arc will be shown in the
corresponding area on the display and
the system will emit an acoustic signal,
either at frequent intervals or constantly.

When lane limits are detected, the
system is ready to provide indications in
case the driver unintentionally leaves the
lane (turn signal not activated).
As the Lane Departure Warning system
detects the lane limits while the vehicle is
in motion, it will adjust the display
accordingly (from white to yellow and
vice versa, and increase their thickness).
If a line is crossed, the driver is alerted by
an audible signal as well as the visual
indication in the instrument cluster. The
signal is emitted through the speakers on
the side of the lane limit which is being
crossed (eg. if the vehicle is exceeding
the left line of the lane, the audible signal
will come from the speakers on the left of
the vehicle).
Changing The System Settings
The system's sensitivity can be set
through the Information and
Entertainment System. Sensitivity “High”
or “Low” can be selected.To access the function, from the main
menu select the following in order:
1. “Settings.”
2. “Safety.”
3. “Lane Departure Warning.”
4. “Sensitivity.”
Limited Operation Warning
If a message appears on the display, a
condition limiting the Lane Departure
Warning system operation may have
occurred. This could be an obstruction of
the camera view, or a fault in the system.
If an obstruction is detected, clean the
area of the windshield by the interior rear
view mirror.
Although the vehicle can still be driven in
normal conditions, the system may not
function properly.
When the conditions limiting the system
are corrected, it will go back to normal
operation. Should a fault persist, contact
your authorized dealer.
System Failure Warning
If the system turns off and the warning
light
appears on the display, it means
that there is a system fault.
In this case, it is still possible to drive the
vehicle, but you are advised to contact
your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.

and be sure to check for pedestrians,
animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or
blind spots before backing up. You are
responsible for the safety of your
surroundings and must continue to pay
attention while backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

when an obstacle is seen. It is recommended
that the driver look frequently over his/her
shoulder when using the Rear Back-Up
Camera.
