aids - General  
recommendations  
Radar(s)  
With the vehicle stationary, the system is  
reinitialised via the Driving/Vehicle touch  
screen menu.  
The operation of the radar(s), along with  
any associated functions, may be affected by  
the accumulation of dirt (e.g. mud, ice), in poor  
weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain, snow), or  
if the bumpers are damaged.  
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in  
any circumstances, replace the need for  
vigilance on the part of the driver.  
►ꢀ In this menu, select the “Vehicle settings” tab.  
►ꢀ On this page, select the "Under-inflation  
initialisation" function.  
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 climatic conditions, traffic and  
the state of the road.  
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(s).  
►ꢀ Select "Yes" to confirm.  
The reinitialisation is confirmed by the display of  
a message and an audible signal.  
Malfunction  
In the event of a malfunction, these  
warning lamps light up on the  
instrument panel.  
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly  
monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance  
and relative speed of other vehicles, and  
anticipate their manoeuvres before using the  
direction indicator and changing lanes.  
These systems do not make it possible to  
exceed the laws of physics.  
A message appears, accompanied by an audible  
signal.  
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring  
function is no longer performed.  
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
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.  
Driving aids  
"Space-saver" type spare wheel  
You should hold the steering wheel with  
both hands, always use the door and interior  
mirrors, always leave your feet close to the  
pedals and take a break every 2 hours.  
The use of this type of spare wheel may  
suspend tyre pressure monitoring.  
In humid and cold weather, demist the  
windscreen regularly.  
In this case, the malfunction warning lamp  
comes on and disappears once the wheel has  
been replaced by one of uniform size (the same

reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,  
alternating shade and light) can also impair  
detection performance.  
Ensure that the units of speed displayed  
on 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  
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.  
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 terrain.  
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.  
Road signs recognition  
Maintenance  
For more information, refer to the General  
recommendations on the use of driving  
and manoeuvring aids.  
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.  
Obstacles may appear further away than they  
actually are.  
Mats/Pedal trims  
Sensors  
The use of mats or pedal trims not  
approved by the Manufacturer may interfere  
with the operation of the speed limiter or  
cruise control.  
The operation of the sensors, as well as  
any associated functions, may be disrupted by  
noise pollution 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.  
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 speed  
authorised locally on the instrument panel, using:  
– Speed limit signs detected by the camera.  
– Speed limit information from the navigation  
system’s mapping.  
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible  
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors  
may be dirty.
