ASSISTANCE
This system, installed in the rear
bumper, detects any obstacle (per-son, vehicle, tree, gate, kerb...)located behind the vehicle.
To activate With the engine running, the sys- tem is activated as soon asreverse gear is engaged; a bleepsounds to inform you that it isactive. The proximity information is given by an audible signal, con-sisting of bleeps which becomemore and more rapid as the vehi-cle approaches the obstacle. When the distance between the rear of the vehicle and the obsta-cle is less than approximatelytwenty-five centimetres, the signal becomes con-tinuous.  The system ceas- es to be activewhen you changeto neutral. TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION Sensors check the tyre pressure during driving, and trigger a warn-ing if there is a malfunction (speedgreater than 15 mph (25 km/h).
Tyre under-inflation
When this warning light comes on, accompaniedby a bleep and the mes-sage 'Tyre(s) pressure
low', have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible. Puncture
Display of this warning light, accompanied by anaudible signal and themessage 'Punctured
tyre(s) detected', is fol-
lowed by illumination of the

Stop immediately, avoiding allabrupt manoeuvres with thesteering wheel and the brakes. Change the damaged (punctured or very under-inflated) wheel andhave the tyre pressure checkedas soon as possible. Note: if the damaged wheel is
stored temporarily in the boot, it will again send this message as areminder of the necessity of hav-
ing it repaired. This will prevent asimilar warning being displayed. Sensor(s) not detected
Display of this warninglight, accompanied by anaudible signal and themessage 'X tyre pres-
