Blind spot sensors
Operation
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the   side   in   question:
-
 
i
mmediately,   when   being   overtaken,
-
 
a
fter   a   delay   of   about   one   second,   when  
ov

ertaking   a   vehicle   slowly.
This
 
driving
 
assistance
 
system
 
warns
 
the
 
driver
 o
f
 
the
 
presence
 
of
 
another
 
vehicle
 
in
 
the

from

he
 
driver's
 
field
 
of

as
 
soon
 
as
 
this
 
p

resents
 
a
 
potential
 
danger. Sensors
  fitted   in   the   front   and   rear   bumpers  
m

onitor   the   blind   spots.
This
 
system
 
is
 
designed
 
to
 
improve
 
safety
 
when   driving   and   is   in   no   circumstances   a  
s

ubstitute
 
for
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
the

r

esponsibility
 
to
 
constantly
 
check
 
the
 
traffic,
 
to   asses   the   distances   and   relative   speeds   of  
o

ther
 
vehicles
 
and
 
to
 
predict
 
their
 
movements   before   deciding   whether   to   change   lane.

In   bad   or   wintry   weather,   ensure   that  
t

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,   if   they  
a

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

e a r.
This   is   confirmed   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   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.
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.

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:
A.

ntry   into   a   parallel   parking   space
B.

  Park   Assist   system   takes   control

I

f   you   think   that   your   vehicle   is   not
