Switching
  off   the   ignition   cancels   any

The cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances, replace   the   need   to   observe   speed   limits,   nor   can   it r

Exceeding the programmed speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results   in   flashing   of   this   speed   in   the   screen.
Return
  to   the   programmed   speed,   by   means   of   intentional   or  
u

nintentional   deceleration   of   the   vehicle,   automatically   cancels   the

Parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear.   This   is   accompanied   by   an   audible   signal.
The
  system   is   switched   off   when   you   come   out  
o

f   reverse   gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent   audible   signal,   the   frequency   of   which i

ncreases   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.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by d isplaying   bars   in   the   multifunction   screen  
w

hich   move   progressively   nearer   to   the   vehicle.  
W

hen   the   obstacle   is   near,   the   "Danger"  
s

ymbol   is   displayed   in   the   screen.
This function cannot, in an y c ircumstances, t
ake   the   place   of   the   vigilance   of   the   driver.
This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle   (person,   vehicle,   tree,   gate, etc.)   which c

omes   within   the   field   of   detection   of   sensors
 l

ocated   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.

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking   sensors   are   triggered   when   an   obstacle i

s   detected   in   front   and   the   speed   of   the   vehicle   is
 s

till   below   6   mph   (10   km/h).
The
  front   parking   sensors   are   interrupted   if   the
 v

ehicle   stops   for   more   than   three   seconds   in
 f

or ward   gear,   if   no   further   obstacles   are   detected
 o

r   when   the   speed   of   the   vehicle   exceeds   6   mph
 (

10   km/h).
Front parking sensors
Deactivation/Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this button.   The   indicator   lamp   in   the   button  
comes

  this   button   again   reactivates   the  
f

unction.   The   indicator   lamp   in   the   button
