Driving
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which
comes within the field of detection of sensors
located in the bumper.
Cer tain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.
Parking sensors
This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit
reverse gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger"
symbol is also displayed in the screen.

the road is clear,
- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are installed to fulfil the
requirements of par ticular driving conditions:
- rear foglamps to better signal the presence
of the vehicle in foggy conditions,
- front foglamps for better visibility in foggy
conditions and to improve lighting at
intersections and when parking,
- daytime running lamps to be seen during
the day.
Automatic lighting

Lighting left on audible
signal
An audible signal when a front door
is opened warns the driver that the
vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with the
ignition off and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes
into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging
the battery. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.
Daytime lighting, compulsory in cer tain
countries, which comes on automatically when
the engine is star ted making the vehicle more
visible to other road users.
Daytime running lamps
This function is assured:
- in countries where it is imposed by
regulations, by illumination of the dipped
beam headlamps with the sidelamps and
number plate lamps.
- for other countries where it is provided, by
the use of dedicated lamps.
This function can be activated
or deactivated via the vehicle
configuration menu.
