1 represent the width of your
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their direction
changes depending on the position of the
steering wheel.
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30 cm
from the rear bumper; the two blue lines 3 and 4
represent 1 m and 2 m, respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
Zoom view

The camera records the vehicle's surroundings
during the manoeuvre in order to create a
view from above the rear of the vehicle in its
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be
manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.

Driving
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are in reality.
It is important to check the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also provide
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
180° view

The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a
parking bay, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out a
complete manoeuvre.
It consists of 3 areas: left A, centre B and right
C. This view is available only from the view
selection menu.
Quick start mode

This mode displays, as quickly as possible, the
contextual view (left-hand part) and the overhead
view of the vehicle.
A message is displayed advising you to check
your vehicle's surroundings before starting the
manoeuvre.
Park Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
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 of T
op Rear Vision 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
► When approaching a parking area, reduce the speed of your vehicle to 19 mph (30 km/h) or less.
Activating the function
The function is activated in the Vehicle /
Driving touch screen menu.
Select "Park Assist ".
Activating the function deactivates the Blind Spot Monitoring System.
You can deactivate the function at any
time until the parking space entry or exit
manoeuvre begins, by pressing the arrow
located in the top left-hand corner of the
display page.
Selecting the type of manoeuvre

A manoeuvre selection page is displayed on the
touch screen: by default, the "Entry" page if the
vehicle has been running since the ignition was
switched on, otherwise, the "Exit" page.
► Select the type and side of the manoeuvre to activate the parking space search.
The selected manoeuvre can be changed at
any time, even while searching for an available
space.

You can deactivate the function at any time until the parking space entry or exit
manoeuvre begins, by pressing the arrow
located in the top left-hand corner of the
display page.
Selecting the type of manoeuvre

A manoeuvre selection page is displayed on the
touch screen: by default, the "Entry" page if the
vehicle has been running since the ignition was
switched on, otherwise, the "Exit" page.
► Select the type and side of the manoeuvre to activate the parking space search.
The selected manoeuvre can be changed at
any time, even while searching for an available
space.
Parking space search
► You should drive at a distance of between 0.50 m and 1.50 m from the row of parked vehicles, without ever exceeding 19 mph (30 km/h), until the system finds an available space.
The parking space search is suspended at
higher speeds. The function is automatically
deactivated if the vehicle speed exceeds 31 mph
(50 km/h).
For "parallel" parking, the space must
measure at least the length of your
vehicle plus 0.60 m.
For "bay" parking, the space must be at least
as wide as your vehicle plus 0.70 m.
If the parking sensors function has been
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle touch
screen menu, it will be automatically
reactivated when the system is activated.


When the system finds an available space, " OK"
is displayed on the parking view, accompanied
by an audible signal.
Preparing for the manoeuvre
► Move very slowly until the request to stop the vehicle is displayed: " Stop the vehicle“,
accompanied by the “ STOP” sign and an audible
signal.
Once the vehicle has stopped, an instructions
page is displayed on the screen.
► To prepare for the manoeuvre, follow the instructions.
The start of the manoeuvre is indicated by the
"Manoeuvre under way" onscreen message
and an accompanying audible signal.
Reversing is indicated by this message:
“Release the steering wheel, reverse ”.
The Top Rear Vision and the parking sensors
are automatically activated to help you monitor
the area immediately surrounding your vehicle
during the manoeuvre.
During the manoeuvre
The system controls the vehicle’s steering. It gives instructions on the manoeuvring direction
when starting "parallel" entry and exit parking
manoeuvres, and for all "bay" entry manoeuvres.
These instructions are displayed as a symbol
accompanied by a message:
"Reverse".

120
Driving
“Go forwards".
The manoeuvring status is indicated by these
symbols:
Manoeuvre in progress (green).
Manoeuvre cancelled or finished (red) (the arrows indicate that the driver must
resume control of the vehicle).
The maximum speeds during manoeuvres are
indicated by these symbols:
75 mph or 7 km/h, for parking space entry.
53 mph or 5 km/h, for parking space exit.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel performs rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel or put your hands between
the spokes of the steering wheel. Watch out
for any objects that could interfere with the
manoeuvre (loose clothing, scarf, tie, etc.).
Risk of injury!
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor the traffic, especially vehicles coming
towards you.
The driver should check that no objects or
people are obstructing the vehicle’s path.
The images from the camera(s) displayed on the touch screen may be
distorted by the terrain.
In shady areas, or in inadequate sunlight
or lighting conditions, the image may be
darkened and with lower contrast.
The manoeuvre can be permanently interrupted
at any time, either by the driver or automatically
by the system.
Interruption by the driver:
– taking over control of the steering.– activating the direction indicator lamps on the opposite side to that of the manoeuvre.– unfastening the driver's seat belt.– switching off the ignition.Interruption by the system:– vehicle exceeding the speed limit of 5 mph (7 km/h) during parking space entry manoeuvres, or 3 mph (5 km/h) during parking space exit manoeuvres.– activation of anti-slip regulation on a slippery road.
– opening of a door or the boot.– engine stall.– system malfunction.– after 10 manoeuvres to enter or exit a parallel parking space and after 7 manoeuvres to enter a
parking bay.
Interrupting the manoeuvre automatically
deactivates the function. The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,
accompanied by the "
Manoeuvre cancelled"
message on the touch screen.
A message prompts the driver to take back
control of the vehicle.
End of the parking space entry or exit
manoeuvre
The vehicle stops as soon as the manoeuvre is
completed.
The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,
accompanied by the message “ Manoeuvre
completed” on the touch screen.
When entering a parking space, the driver may
be required to complete the manoeuvre.
Operating limits
– The system may suggest an unsuitable parking space (No Parking area, work in
progress with damaged road surface, location
alongside a ditch, etc.).
– The system may indicate that a space has been found but not offer it because of a fixed
obstacle on the opposite side of the manoeuvre,
which would not allow the vehicle to follow the
necessary trajectory for parking.
– The system may indicate that a space has been found but not engage the manoeuvre
because the road is too narrow.
– The system is not designed to perform the parking manoeuvre on a sharp bend.– The system does not detect spaces that are much larger than the vehicle or are bounded by
obstacles that are very low (pavements, studs, etc.) or very thin (trees, posts, wire fences, etc.).– Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind spots may not be detected or may no longer be
detected during the manoeuvre.
– Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound waves: pedestrians may not be detected.– A front or rear impact to the vehicle can upset the sensors’ settings, which is not always
detected by the system: distance measurements
may be distorted.
– If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt, affecting distance measurements.
The vehicle's sensors and camera(s) may be
impaired by:
– accumulated snow or fallen leaves on the road,– adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, thick fog, falling snow),– noise interference from noisy vehicles and machinery (lorries, pneumatic drills, etc.).
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.
