Sequence  
Once the system is activated, the following steps  
will be performed successively:  
– Select the type of manoeuvre via the touch  
screen.  
You must stop the vehicle.  
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and  
switch off the ignition.  
– Search for an available space.  
– Prepare for the manoeuvre.  
– Perform the manoeuvre.  
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.  
– Finalise the manoeuvre.  
DS PARK PILOT  
You can deactivate the system at any time  
up until the start of the manoeuvre, by  
pressing the red arrow in the top left corner of  
the window.  
For more information, refer to the General  
recommendations on the use of driving  
and manoeuvring aids.  
Activation/Deactivation  
To activate assistance when approaching a  
parking area:  
►ꢀ Reduce the speed of the vehicle to a maximum  
of 19 mph (30 km/h).  
This system provides active parking assistance  
for vehicles fitted with the EAT8 automatic  
gearbox: 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 automatically exit a "parallel"  
parking space.  
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.  
The system controls the steering, direction,  
acceleration and braking. The system measures  
the available parking spaces and calculates  
the distances to obstacles using 12 ultrasonic  
sensors built into the front and rear bumpers of  
the vehicle.  
The driver's seat belt must remain fastened  
during the manoeuvre.  
Manoeuvre type selection and  
parking space search  
Depending on whether the vehicle has been driven  
or not since the ignition was switched on, the  
function offers to enter or exit a parking space on  
the touch screen.  
►ꢀ Press the button on the gear selector or, on  
the touch screen, select Driving/Vehicle > DS  
PARK PILOT.  
To help the driver monitor the successful  
completion of the manoeuvre, the system  
automatically displays the Reversing camera or  
360 Vision and activates the parking sensors.  
Activating the system deactivates Blind  
spot monitoring.

►ꢀ To undertake the manoeuvre, press this  
button.  
Forward gear.  
Reverse gear.  
This lamp comes on to confirm activation.  
►ꢀ While holding down the button, gradually  
release the brake pedal.  
You can change the type of manoeuvre at any  
time, including during the available parking space  
search phase.  
The central arrow is green whilst the vehicle is  
moving, or white to indicate the next manoeuvring  
direction.  
The button must be held down throughout  
the manoeuvre.  
►ꢀ 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 start of the manoeuvre is indicated by  
the display of a window with the message  
"Manoeuvre in progress", accompanied by an  
audible signal.  
Throughout the whole manoeuvre,  
indicated by the green "AUTO" symbol, the  
driver must hold down the function control  
button.  
The Reversing camera or 360 Vision and the  
parking sensors are automatically activated to  
help monitor the vehicle's close surroundings  
throughout the manoeuvre.  
For "parallel" parking, the space must at  
least equal to the length of your vehicle  
plus 1 m.  
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. Beware of  
any object likely to block the manoeuvre  
(e.g. loose clothing, scarves, ties) - risk of  
injury!  
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:  
Preparing for the manoeuvre  
►ꢀ Move very slowly until the request to stop  
the vehicle and the "STOP" sign are displayed,  
accompanied by an audible signal.  
Once the vehicle has stopped, an instructions  
page is displayed on the screen.  
If the vehicle slows down significantly, the  
brake lamps may come on.  
Manoeuvre in progress.  
Suspending/resuming the manoeuvre  
The manoeuvre can be interrupted temporarily  
at any time, either automatically by the system if  
an obstacle is detected, or by driver action. If the  
driver notices a hazard, they may also interrupt  
the manoeuvre permanently.  
►ꢀ To prepare for the manoeuvre, you must fulfil  
all of these instructions.  
Manoeuvre interrupted.  
This symbol will be displayed  
Manoeuvre completed or aborted.  
The white arrows indicate that the driver  
must take back control of the vehicle.  
The direction of the manoeuvre is indicated by  
these symbols:  
automatically when the instruction has  
been applied.  
To suspend the manoeuvre, the driver can:  
– Release the function control button.  
– Depress the brake pedal.  
When all of the instructions have been validated,  
a new page is displayed, indicating that you can  
undertake the manoeuvre.

– Resume control of the steering.  
– Change the gearbox status (except changing  
to P).  
– 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,  
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.  
The vehicle is immediately immobilised if the  
manoeuvre is suspended.  
This is confirmed by the display of this  
symbol, accompanied by the message  
"Manoeuvre suspended".  
The gearbox automatically changes to mode P if  
no action is taken by the driver within 30 seconds.  
– System malfunction during the manoeuvre.  
Abandoning the manoeuvre immediately  
triggers the vehicle’s brakes and automatically  
deactivates the function.  
Resuming the manoeuvre after resolving the  
conditions for suspending it:  
Operating limits  
►ꢀ Release all controls (brake pedal, function  
control button, steering wheel, gear selector).  
►ꢀ Press the function control button again.  
Permanent interruption after suspending the  
manoeuvre:  
– The system may suggest an inappropriate  
parking space (parking prohibited, work in  
progress with damaged road surface, location  
alongside a ditch, etc.).  
This symbol is displayed accompanied by  
the message "Manoeuvre aborted".  
A message prompts the driver to take back  
control of the vehicle.  
– 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.  
►ꢀ Depress the brake pedal and engage a gear.  
The function is deactivated after a few  
seconds; this indicator lamp goes off on  
the instrument panel and the initial display is  
resumed.  
Aborting the manoeuvre  
The manoeuvre is aborted in the following  
situations:  
The system automatically engages gearbox mode  
P after 4 seconds.  
– 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 system does not detect spaces that  
are much larger than the vehicle itself or that  
are delimited by obstacles that are too low  
(pavements, studs, etc.) or too thin (trees, posts,  
wire fences, etc.).  
– 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.  
End of manoeuvre  
The vehicle stops as soon as the manoeuvre is  
completed.  
– Opening of a door or the boot.  
This symbol is displayed accompanied by  
the message "Manoeuvre completed".  
When the function is deactivated, this  
indicator lamp on the instrument panel  
goes off and the original display is restored.  
– If entering a parking space, the driver may be  
required to complete the manoeuvre. The gearbox  
– Activation of the direction indicator lamps on  
the opposite side to that of the manoeuvre.  
– In certain cases, when a wheel of the vehicle  
hits a pavement or a low obstacle.  
– Triggering of anti-slip regulation on a slippery
