PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)
Operating principle
Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the
rear bumper (depending on the vehi-
cle), measure the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle whilst revers-
ing.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 30 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
NB: the display 1 shows the vehicle
surroundings in conjunction with the
beeps.
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between t\
he
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: alw\
ays
ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pra\
m or bi-
cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your p\
ath when
manoeuvring.
Operation
When reverse gear is selected, most
objects which are less than approxi-
mately 1.20 metres from the rear of the
vehicle are detected, a beep sounds
and the display 1 lights up.

REVERSING CAMERA (1/2)
This gauge remains fixed and indicates
the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are
in line with the vehicle.
Special feature
Make sure that the camera is not ob-
scured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
OperationWhen reversing, the camera 1 on the
boot lid transmits a view of the sur-
roundings to the rear of the vehicle
to the multimedia display 2 accompa-
nied by two clearance gauges 3 and 4
(mobile and fixed).
This system is initially used with the aid
of several gauges (mobile for trajectory
and fixed for distance). When the red
zone is reached, use the bumper image
to stop accurately. 3 moving guide line:
This is shown in blue on screen
2. It in-
dicates the vehicle trajectory according
to the position of the steering wheel.
Fixed gauge 4
The fixed clearance gauge comprises
coloured markers A, B and C , indicat-
ing the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 30 centime-
tres from the vehicle;
– B (yellow) approximately 70 centi-
metres from the vehicle;
– C (green) approximately 150 centi-
metres from the vehicle.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)
What you should not doDo not degrease or clean mechani-
cal components (e.g. the engine com-
partment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and
painted plastic external fittings (e.g.
bumpers) using high-pressure clean-
ing equipment or by spraying on prod-
ucts not approved by our Technical
Department. Doing this could give rise
to corrosion or operational faults.
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
Do not scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
Do not use solvents not approved by
our Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the paint-
work.
Do not drive in snow or muddy condi-
tions without washing the vehicle, par-
ticularly under the wheel arches and
body.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very
effective anti-corrosion products. It is
nevertheless subject to various outside
influences.
Corrosive agents in the atmosphere
–
atmospheric pollution (built-up and
industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp weather condi-
tions (e.g. road salt in winter, water
from road cleaners, etc.).
Minor impacts
Abrasive action
Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit
thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor pre-
cautions in order to safeguard your ve-
hicle against such risks.You should
Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off , with cleaning products rec-
ommended by the manufacturer (never
use abrasive products). Rinse thor-
oughly beforehand with a jet:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– mud in the wheel arches and under-
neath the body which forms damp
patches;
– bird droppings , which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint that
rapidly discolours paintwork and
may even cause the paint to peel
off;
wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by polish-
ing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after driv-
ing in areas where the roads have
been gritted.
Withdraw the vegetable falls (resin, film
etc.) from the vehicle regularly.
