180° view
The 180° view assists with exiting from
a parking bay in forward gear, 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.
Park Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system provides active assistance with
parking: it detects a


parking space then
operates the steering system to park in this
space.
With manual and automatic gearboxes , the
driver manages the accelerator, brakes and
forward and reverse gear engagement.
During phases of entry into and exit from
a
parking space, the system provides visual
and audible information to the driver in order
to make the manoeuvres safe. Several for ward
and reverse manoeuvres may be required.
At any time, the driver can take back control by
holding the steering wheel.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
The Park Assist system cannot work with
the engine off. A.
Entry into a


parallel parking space.
B. Exit from a

the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could
inter fere with the manoeuvre (loose
clothing, scar ves, ties, etc.) – risk of injury!

The Park Assist system takes control
of the power steering for a maximum of
4
manoeuvring cycles. The function is
deactivated after these 4
cycles. If you
think that your vehicle is not positioned
correctly, you should then take over the
steering to finish the manoeuvre.
The sequence of manoeuvres and the
driving instructions are displayed on the
touch screen.
You should always check the surroundings
of your vehicle before starting
a


manoeuvre. The parking sensors function is
not available during parking space
measurement. It intervenes later when
manoeuvring to warn you that your vehicle
is approaching an obstacle: the audible
signal becomes continuous when the
obstacle is less than thirty centimetres
away.
If you have deactivated the parking
sensors, they are automatically
reactivated during assisted parking
manoeuvres.
Activation of Park Assist deactivates the
Blind Spot Monitoring system.
During parking and exit from parking
manoeuvres, the Top Rear Vision – Top
360
Vision functions may come into
