, at speeds above approximately
12 mph (20
km/h),
–

Automatically
, if the tailgate is opened.
–

When changing out of reverse gear
.

AUTO mode

This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the automatic
view changes from the rear view (standard) to
the view from above (zoom) as an obstacle is
approached at the level of the red line (less than
30
cm) during a manoeuvre.
Standard view

The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the
screen. The blue lines
1 represent the width of your
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their direction
changes according to 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 nearby obstacles.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
It is important to monitor the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
Parking sensors also provide additional
information about the area around the vehicle.
180° view

The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a
parking space, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out a
complete manoeuvre.
It features 3 areas: left A, centre B and right C.

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.
This indicator lamp comes on to confirm the selection.
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 stops over this limit.
The function automatically deactivates once the
vehicle speed exceeds 31 mph (50
km/h).
For ''parallel'' parking, the space must at
a minimum be equal to the length of your
vehicle plus 0.60 m.
For ''bay'' parking, the width of the space
must be equal to the width of your vehicle
plus 0.70 m.
If the parking sensors function has been
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle menu
of the touch screen, 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 " ST
OP" sign and an audible
signal.
Once the vehicle has stopped, an instructions
page is displayed on the screen.
►

T
o prepare for the manoeuvre, follow the
instructions.
The start of the manoeuvre is indicated by
the message
"Manoeuvre under way",
accompanied by an audible signal.
Reversing is indicated by this message:
"Release the steering wheel, reverse ".
The Visiopark 1 function and the parking sensors
are automatically activated to help you monitor
your vehicle's close surroundings 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".
“Go forwards".
The manoeuvring status is indicated by these
symbols:

133
Driving
6Manoeuvre 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.
The function is deactivated after a few seconds; this indicator lamp goes off and
the function returns to the initial display.
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 the function is deactivated, this
indicator lamp goes off, accompanied by
an audible signal.
When entering a parking space, the driver may
be required to complete the manoeuvre.
Operating limits
– The system may suggest an inappropriate
parking space (parking prohibited, work in
progress with damaged road surface, location
alongside a ditch, etc.).
–

The system may indicate that a space has
been found but will not offer it because of a fixed
obstacle on the opposite side of the manoeuvre,
which would not allow the vehicle to follow a
trajectory required for parking.
–


The system may indicate that a space has
been found but the manoeuvre will not be
triggered, because the width of the lane is
insufficient.
–


The system is not designed for performing the
parking manoeuvre on a sharp bend.
–


The system does not detect spaces that
are much larger than the vehicle itself or that
are delimited by obstacles that are too low
