vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch screen  
using a camera located at the rear of the vehicle.  
Principle of operation  
Rear vision  
Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close  
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres at  
low speed.  
An image from above your vehicle in its close  
surroundings is reconstructed (represented  
between the brackets) in real time and as the  
manoeuvre progresses.  
It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when  
parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle  
to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the  
vehicle remains stationary for too long.  
To activate the camera, located on the tailgate,  
engage reverse and keep the speed of the vehicle  
below 6 mph (10 km/h).  
The system is deactivated:  
– Automatically, at speeds above approximately  
12 mph (20 km/h),  
– Automatically, if the tailgate is opened.  
– When changing out of reverse gear.  
– By pressing the white arrow in the upper-left  
corner of the touch screen.  
The screen is divided into two parts with a  
contextual view and a view from above the vehicle  
in its close surroundings.  
The parking sensors supplement the information  
on the view from above the vehicle.  
Various contextual views may be displayed:  
– Standard view.  
– 180° view.  
– Zoom view.  
AUTO mode is activated by default.  
In this mode, the system chooses to display the  
best view (standard or zoom).  
You can change the type of view at any time  
during a manoeuvre.  
The state of the function is not saved when the  
ignition is switched off.

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.  
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  
Zoom view  
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 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.  
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.  
The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the  
screen.
