This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle  (person,  vehicle,  tree,  gate,  etc.) Â
w
hich  comes  within  the  field  of  detection  of Â
s
ensors  located  in  the  bumper.
Certain
 types  of  obstacle  (stake,  roadworks Â
c
one,  etc.)  detected  initially  will  no  longer  be Â
d
etected  at  the  end  of  the  manoeuvre  due  to Â
t
he  presence  of  blind  spots.
Parking sensors
This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take  the  place  of  the Â
v
igilance  of  the  driver. The
 system  is  switched  on  by  engaging  reverse Â
g
ear.  This  is  accompanied  by  an  audible  signal.
The  system  is  switched  off  when  you  come  out Â
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 Â
p
anel  which  move  progressively  nearer  to Â
t
he  vehicle.  When  the  obstacle  is  near,  the Â
"
Danger"  symbol  is  displayed.

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or  rear)  indicates  whether  the  obstacle Â
i
s  in  front  or  behind. The
 system  will  be  deactivated Â
a
utomatically  if  a  trailer  is  being Â
t
owed  or  a  bicycle  carrier  is  fitted  on Â
a
 towbar  (vehicle  fitted  with  a  towbar Â
i
nstalled  in  line  with  the  manufacturer's Â
r
ecommendations).In
 bad  weather  or  in  winter,  ensure Â
t
hat  the  sensors  are  not  covered  with  m
ud,  ice  or  snow.  When  reverse  gear  is  e
ngaged,  an  audible  signal  (long  beep) Â
i
ndicates  that  the  sensors  may  be  dirty.
Certain
 sound  sources  (motorcycle, Â
l
orry,  pneumatic  drill,  etc.)  may  trigger Â
t
he  audible  signals  of  the  parking Â
s
ensor  system.
In
Â
addition  to  the  rear  parking  sensors,  the Â
f
ront
Â
parking  sensors  are  triggered  when  an Â
o
bstacle  is  detected  in  front  and  the  speed  of Â
t
he

vehicle  is  still  below  6  mph  (10  km/h).

360Â Vision
This system provides a view in the instrument panel  of  the  near  surroundings  of  your  vehicle, Â
u
sing  cameras  mounted  at  the  front  and  rear  of Â
y
our  vehicle  and  under  the  door  mirrors.
Depending
 on  the  angle  of  view  chosen  (front Â
v
iew,  rear  view  or  360°  panoramic  view), Â
3
60 Vision  provides  special  visual  assistance Â
i
n  particular  driving  conditions  such  as  when Â
e
ntering  a  blind  crossing  or  manoeuvring  in Â
a
reas  of  reduced  visibility.
Once
 activated,  this  function  operates  up  to Â
9Â m
ph  (15  km/h).  Above  18  mph  (30  km/h),  the Â
f
unction  is  deactivated  automatically. This
 system  is  a  visual  aid  which  in  no Â
c
ircumstances  can  replace  the  need  for Â
v
igilance  on  the  part  of  the  driver.
The  images  provided  by  the  cameras Â
m
ay  be  deformed  by  the  relief.  The Â
p
resence  of  areas  in  shade,  in  sunny Â
c
onditions,  or  of  low  ambient  light  may Â
d
arken  the  image  and  reduce  contrast.
Forward vision
The camera located in the front bumper is a
ctivated  and  views  of  the  areas  located  at Â
f
ront  left  and  front  right  appear  simultaneously Â
i

Rear vision
The camera located in the tailgate is activated and  the  view  of  the  area  behind  your  vehicle  is Â
d
isplayed  in  the  instrument  panel  and  behaves Â
l
ike  a  reversing  camera,  whatever  the  position Â
o
f  the  gear  selector  lever.
The
 blue  lines  represent  the  width  of  your Â
v
ehicle  (excluding  mirrors):  they  move Â
a
ccording  to  the  position  of  the  steering  wheel.
The
 red  line  represents  a  distance  of  30  cm Â
f
rom  the  rear  bumper,  and  the  two  green Â
l

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking,  detecting  a  parking  space  then Â
c
ontrolling  the  steering  to  park  in  the  space.
It
 controls  the  steering  while  the  driver Â
m
anages  the  accelerator,  brakes,  gears  and Â
c
lutch  (manual  gearbox).  During  phases  of Â
e
ntry  into  and  exit  from  a  parking  space,  the Â
s
ystem  provides  visual  and  audible  information Â
t
o  the  driver  in  order  to  make  the  manoeuvres Â
s
afe.  It  may  be  necessary  to  move  for wards Â
a
nd  backwards  more  than  once. During
 a  manoeuvre  the  steering  wheel Â
t
urns  quickly:  do  not  hold  the  steering Â
w
heel,  do  not  place  your  hand  between Â
t
he  spokes  of  the  steering  wheel  and Â
t
ake  care  with  loose  and  bulky  clothing, Â
s
carves,  handbags...  There  is  a  risk  of Â

S
top  &  Start.  In  STOP  mode,  activation Â

The
 Park  Assist  system  cannot  in  any Â
c
ircumstances  replace  the  need  for Â
v
igilance  on  the  part  of  the  driver.
The
 driver  must  remain  in  control Â
o
f  their  vehicle  ensuring  that  the Â
s
pace  remains  clear  throughout  the Â
m
anoeuvre.
In
 some  circumstances,  the  sensors Â
m

i
n  their  blind  spots.
The
 driver  can  take  control  at  any  time  by Â
g
