temporary flashing of this indicator lamp  
and an audible signal indicate a system  
malfunction.  
If the malfunction occurs while the system is in  
use, the indicator lamp goes off.  
Activating the system deactivates Blind  
Spot Detection.  
Sequence  
If the parking sensor malfunction occurs  
during use, indicated by this warning lamp  
coming on, it causes the function to deactivate.  
In the event of a malfunction, have the system  
checked by a dealer or a qualified workshop.  
In the event of a power steering  
malfunction, this warning lamp is  
displayed on the instrument panel, accompanied  
by a warning message.  
Once the system is activated, the following steps  
will be performed successively:  
– Select the type of manoeuvre via the touch  
screen.  
– Search for an available space.  
– Prepare for the manoeuvre.  
– Perform the manoeuvre.  
– Finalise the manoeuvre.  
It is possible to deactivate the system at  
any time until the start of the manoeuvre,  
by pressing the red arrow in the upper left  
corner of the screen.  
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.  
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.  
To initiate parking assistance when approaching  
a parking area:  
►ꢀ Reduce the speed of the vehicle to a maximum  
of 19 mph (30 km/h).  
DS PARK PILOT  
Refer to the General recommendations on the use  
of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
DS PARK PILOT is not always able to react  
automatically and appropriately due to  
the performance limits inherent to the system.  
The manoeuvre remains the responsibility  
of the driver, who must not leave the driving  
position and must never try to lock the system  
control button.  
This system provides active parking assistance  
for vehicles fitted with the EAT8 automatic  
gearbox or a gear selector: it detects a free  
"parallel" or "bay" parking space and then  
operates the vehicle, parking it with no need for  
driver intervention. It also allows you to drive out  
of a "parallel parking" space automatically.  
The system controls the steering, direction,  
acceleration and braking. The system measures  
the available parking spaces and calculates  
The driver's seat belt must remain fastened  
during the manoeuvre.

It is possible to change the type of manoeuvre  
at any time, including during the available space  
search phase.  
►ꢀ Drive at a distance of 0.50 to 1.50 m from the  
row of parked vehicles, not exceeding 19 mph  
(30 km/h), until the system finds an available  
space (indicated by OK on the display and an  
audible signal).  
The button must be held down throughout  
the manoeuvre.  
Throughout the whole manoeuvre,  
indicated by the green "AUTO" symbol, the  
driver must hold the selector button down.  
The start of the manoeuvre is indicated by the  
display of a screen with the message "Manoeuvre  
under way", accompanied by an audible signal.  
Reversing camera and the parking sensors are  
automatically activated to help you monitor the  
close surrounding area of your vehicle throughout  
the manoeuvre.  
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!  
For "parallel" parking, the space must at  
least equal to the length of your vehicle  
plus 1 m.  
For "bay" parking, the space must at least  
equal to the width of your vehicle plus 0.70 m.  
Performing the manoeuvre  
As soon as the driver releases the brake pedal,  
the system automatically takes control of  
choosing the travel direction, forwards or reverse,  
acceleration, braking and the steering direction.  
The manoeuvring status is indicated by these  
symbols:  
If the vehicle slows down significantly, the  
brake lamps may come on.

required to complete the manoeuvre. The gearbox  
changes to P 4 seconds after completion of the  
manoeuvre.  
– When exiting a parking space, the gearbox  
changes to N when the manoeuvre is complete. A  
message and symbols prompt the driver to take  
back control of the vehicle.  
– Engine stalling.  
– Sudden appearance in the field of the  
manoeuvre of an obstacle not detected by the  
system before the manoeuvre was started, with  
the obstacle remaining for more than 30 seconds.  
– After 10 manoeuvres to enter or exit a "parallel"  
parking space and after 7 manoeuvres to enter a  
"bay" parking space,  
This is confirmed by the display of this  
symbol, accompanied by the message  
"Manoeuvre suspended".  
Resuming the manoeuvre after resolving the  
conditions for suspending it:  
– System malfunction during the manoeuvre.

parking space (parking prohibited, work in  
progress with damaged road surface, location  
alongside a ditch, etc.).  
►ꢀ Depress the brake pedal and engage a gear.  
Abandoning the manoeuvre  
– 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 does not allow the vehicle to follow the  
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 to perform parking  
manoeuvres on a steep slope or on a sharp curve.  
The manoeuvre is abandoned in the following  
situations:  
– No action by the driver within 30 seconds of the  
manoeuvre being suspended.  
– Intentional application of the parking brake.  
– Gearbox mode P engaged by the driver.  
– Driver's seat belt unfastened.  
The system automatically engages gearbox mode  
P after 4 seconds.
