This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
w
hich comes within the field of detection of
s
ensors located in the bumper.
Certain
types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
c
one, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
d
etected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
t
he presence of blind spots.
Parking sensors
This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
v
igilance of the driver. The
system is switched on by engaging reverse
g
ear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
o
f reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an i
ntermittent audible signal, the frequency of w
hich increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
The
sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
i
ndicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When
the distance between the vehicle and
t
he obstacle becomes less than approximately
t
hirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
c
ontinuous.
Rear parking sensors
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by d isplaying bars in the screen or the instrument
p
anel which move progressively nearer to
t
he vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the
"
Danger" symbol is displayed.

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
i
s in front or behind. The
system will be deactivated
a
utomatically if a trailer is being
t
owed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a
towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
i
nstalled in line with the manufacturer's
r
ecommendations).In
bad weather or in winter, ensure
t
hat the sensors are not covered with m
ud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is e
ngaged, an audible signal (long beep)
i
ndicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain
sound sources (motorcycle,
l
orry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
t
he audible signals of the parking
s
ensor system.
In
addition to the rear parking sensors, the
f
ront
parking sensors are triggered when an
o
bstacle is detected in front and the speed of
t
he
vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The
front parking sensors are interrupted if
t
he
vehicle stops for more than three seconds
i
n
for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
d
etected or when the speed of the vehicle
e
xceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then
c
ontrolling the steering to park in the space.
It
controls the steering while the driver
m
anages the accelerator, brakes, gears and
c
lutch (manual gearbox). During phases of
e
ntry into and exit from a parking space, the
s
ystem provides visual and audible information
t
o the driver in order to make the manoeuvres
s
afe. It may be necessary to move for wards
a
nd backwards more than once. During
a manoeuvre the steering wheel
t
urns quickly: do not hold the steering
w
heel, do not place your hand between
t
he spokes of the steering wheel and
t
ake care with loose and bulky clothing,
s
carves, handbags... There is a risk of
in
jury.
When
Park Assist is activated, it
p
revents a change to STOP mode of
S
top & Start. In STOP mode, activation
o
f Park Assist restarts the engine.
The
Park Assist system cannot in any
c
ircumstances replace the need for
v
igilance on the part of the driver.
The
driver must remain in control
o
f their vehicle ensuring that the
s
pace remains clear throughout the
m
anoeuvre.
In
some circumstances, the sensors
m
ay not detect small obstacles located
i
n their blind spots.
The
driver can take control at any time by
g
ripping the steering wheel. The
Park Assist system provides assistance for t
he following manoeuvres:
-
e
ntry into a parallel parking space
-
e
xit from a parallel parking space
-
b
ay parkingThe
Park Assist system takes control
o
f the power steering for a maximum
o
f 4 manoeuvre cycles. The function
i
s deactivated after these 4 cycles.
I
f you think that your vehicle is not
p
ositioned correctly, you should then
t
ake control of the steering to carry out
t
he manoeuvre.
The

Operation of the rear foglamps is inhibited with the tailgate open.
Opening
the boot when these lamps are
o
n causes them and their indicator lamp
i
n the instrument panel to go off.
They
do not come back on
a
utomatically when the boot is closed:
t
hey must be switched on again using
t
he control stalk. In
good or rainy weather, by both day a
nd night, the front foglamps and the
r
ear foglamps are prohibited. In these
s
ituations, the power of their beams
m
ay dazzle other drivers. They should
o
nly be used in fog or falling snow.
In
these weather conditions, you should
s
witch on the foglamps and dipped
b
eam headlamps manually, as the
s
unshine sensor may detect sufficient
l
ight.
Do
not forget to switch off the front and
r
ear foglamps when they are no longer
n
ecessary.Switching off the lighting
when switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the lamps switch off immediately, except for the d
