recommendations  
The operation of the radar as well as the  
associated functions may be impaired through  
the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.),  
in certain difficult weather conditions (very  
heavy rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.  
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact  
a dealer or a qualified workshop; certain types  
of paint could interfere with the operation of  
the radar.  
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in  
any circumstances, replace the need for  
vigilance on the part of the driver.  
The driver must comply with the Highway  
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in  
all circumstances and must be able to retake  
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt  
the speed to climactic conditions, traffic and  
the state of the road.  
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly  
check the traffic, to assess the relative  
distances and speeds of other vehicles and to  
anticipate their movements before indicating  
and changing lane.  
Resetting the system  
Pressing and holding these two buttons  
simultaneously resets the system.  
This action erases all data recorded in the camera  
and reinitialises the camera’s default pairing  
code.  
For safety reasons, the driver must not  
use the DS ConnectedCAM application  
from a smartphone while driving. He or she  
must perform any action requiring sustained  
attention when the vehicle is stationary.  
The systems cannot exceed the limits of the  
laws of physics.  
Driving aids camera  
This camera and its associated functions  
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen  
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,  
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or masked  
by a sticker.  
In humid and cold weather, demist the  
windscreen regularly.  
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,  
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle

Driving aids  
You should hold the steering wheel  
with both hands, always use the interior and  
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the feet  
close to the pedals and take a break every two  
hours.  
When a system fault occurs, the indicator  
lamp in the button flashes.  
Have the system checked by a dealer or a  
qualified workshop.

units of speed so that it complies with what is  
authorised locally.  
In the event of a windscreen replacement,  
contact a dealer or a qualified workshop  
to recalibrate the camera; otherwise, the  
operation of the associated driving aids may  
be disrupted.  
The sensors do not systematically detect  
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)  
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).  
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind  
spots may not be detected or may no longer be  
detected during the manoeuvre.  
In case of doubt, contact a dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
Speed Limit Recognition  
and Recommendation  
Refer to the General recommendations on the use  
of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound  
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.  
Other cameras  
The images from the camera(s) displayed  
on the touch screen or on the instrument panel  
may be distorted by the relief.  
Maintenance  
In the presence of areas in shade, or in  
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate  
lighting, the image may be darkened and with  
lower contrast.  
Obstacles may appear further away than they  
actually are.  
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and  
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.  
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,  
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away from  
the radar, sensors and cameras.  
Mats  
Sensors  
The use of mats not approved by the  
Manufacturer may interfere with the operation  
of the speed limiter or cruise control.  
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:  
– Ensure that the mat is secured correctly.  
– Never fit one mat on top of another.  
This system displays the maximum authorised  
speed in the instrument panel, according to  
the speed limits in the country in which you are  
driving, using:  
– Speed limit signs detected by the camera.  
– Speed limit details from the navigation system  
mapping.  
The operation of the sensors as well as  
the associated functions may be disturbed  
by sound interference such as that emitted  
by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,  
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of snow  
or dead leaves on the road or in the event of  
damaged bumpers and mirrors.  
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible  
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors  
may be dirty.  
Units of speed  
Navigation mapping should be regularly  
updated in order to receive accurate  
speed limit information from the system.  
Ensure that the units of speed displayed  
in the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are  
those for the country you are driving in.  
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is  
stationary, set the display to the required  
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can  
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
