Standard view  
Zoom view  
180° view  
The area in front of your vehicle is displayed on  
the screen.  
The camera records the vehicle's surroundings  
during the manoeuvre in order to create a  
view from above the front of the vehicle in its  
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be  
manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.  
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the  
view selection menu.  
The orange lines 1 represent the width of your  
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their direction  
changes according to the position of the steering  
wheel.  
The 180° view assists with exiting from a parking  
space in forward gear, making it possible to  
see the approach of vehicles, pedestrians and  
cyclists.  
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30 cm from  
the front bumper; the two orange 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.  
This view is not recommended for carrying out a  
complete manoeuvre.  
It is important to check the sides of the vehicle  
during the manoeuvre, using the mirrors.  
The parking sensors also supplement the  
information on the vehicle's surroundings.  
It consists of 3 areas: left A, centre B and right C.  
This view is available only from the view selection  
menu.

This system provides active parking assistance:  
it detects a parking space and then steers in the  
appropriate direction to park in the space while  
the driver controls the driving direction, gear  
changes, acceleration and braking.  
Activating the function  
The selected manoeuvre can be changed at any  
time, even while searching for an available space.  
This indicator lamp comes on to confirm  
the selection.  
The function is activated in the Vehicle/  
Driving touch screen menu.  
Select "Park Assist".  
Activating the function deactivates the  
Blind spot monitoring system.  
Parking space search  
To help the driver monitor the manoeuvre, the  
system automatically triggers the display from  
the Reversing camera or 360 Vision function and  
activates the parking sensors.  
►ꢀ You should drive at a distance of between  
0.50 m and 1.50 m from the row of parked  
vehicles, without ever exceeding 19 mph  
(30 km/h), until the system finds an available  
space.  
You can deactivate the function at any  
time until the parking space entry or exit  
manoeuvre begins, by pressing the arrow  
located in the top left-hand corner of the  
display page.  
The system measures the available parking  
spaces and calculates the distances to obstacles  
using ultrasonic sensors built into the front and  
rear bumpers of the vehicle.  
The parking space search stops over this limit.  
The function automatically deactivates once the  
vehicle speed exceeds 31 mph (50 km/h).  
Selecting the type of manoeuvre  
For ''parallel'' parking, the space must at  
a minimum be equal to the length of your  
vehicle plus 0.60 m.  
For ''bay'' parking, the width of the space must  
be equal to the width of your vehicle plus 0.70  
m.  
The system assists with the following  
manoeuvres:  
If the parking sensors function has been  
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle menu  
of the touch screen, it will be automatically  
reactivated when the system is activated.  
A. Entering a "parallel" parking space  
B. Leaving a "parallel" parking space  
C. Entering a "bay" parking space  
A manoeuvre selection page is displayed on the  
touch screen: by default, the "Entry" page if the  
vehicle has been running since the ignition was  
switched on, otherwise, the "Exit" page.  
Operation  
►ꢀ When approaching a parking area, reduce the  
speed of your vehicle to 19 mph (30 km/h) or less.  
►ꢀ Select the type and side of the manoeuvre to  
activate the parking space search.

During the manoeuvre  
manoeuvre (loose clothing, scarf, tie, etc.).  
Risk of injury!  
The system controls the vehicle’s steering. It  
gives instructions on the manoeuvring direction  
when starting "parallel" entry and exit parking  
manoeuvres, and for all "bay" entry manoeuvres.  
These instructions are displayed as a symbol  
accompanied by a message:  
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly  
monitor the traffic, especially vehicles coming  
towards you.  
The driver should check that no objects or  
people are obstructing the vehicle’s path.  
"Reverse".  
The images from the camera(s) displayed  
on the touch screen may be distorted by  
the terrain.  
“Go forwards".  
When the system finds an available space, "OK" is  
displayed on the parking view, accompanied by an  
audible signal.  
The manoeuvring status is indicated by these  
symbols:  
In shady areas, or in inadequate sunlight  
or lighting conditions, the image may be  
darkened and with lower contrast.  
Manoeuvre in progress (green).  
Preparing for the manoeuvre  
The manoeuvre can be permanently interrupted at  
any time, either by the driver or automatically by  
the system.

►ꢀ Move very slowly until the request to stop  
the vehicle is displayed: "Stop the vehicle",  
accompanied by the "STOP" sign and an audible  
signal.  
Interruption by the driver:  
The maximum speeds during manoeuvres are  
indicated by these symbols:  
– taking over control of the steering.  
– activating the direction indicator lamps on the  
opposite side to that of the manoeuvre.  
– unfastening the driver's seat belt.

– system malfunction.  
– 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 would not allow the vehicle to follow a  
trajectory required for parking.  
If the vehicle has undergone any of the  
following modifications, do not use the  
function:  
– after 10 manoeuvres to enter or exit a parallel  
parking space and after 7 manoeuvres to enter a  
parking bay.  
– When carrying an object extending beyond  
the dimensions of the vehicle (ladder on the  
roof bars, bicycle carrier on the tailgate, etc.).  
– With a non-approved towball in place.  
– With snow chains fitted.  
Interrupting the manoeuvre automatically  
deactivates the function.  
– 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 for performing the  
parking manoeuvre on a sharp bend.  
The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,  
accompanied by the "Manoeuvre cancelled"  
message on the touch screen.  
– When driving on a small-diameter or "space-  
saver" type spare wheel.  
A message prompts the driver to take back  
control of the vehicle.  
– 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.).  
– When the wheels fitted are a different size  
from the original ones.  
The function is deactivated after a few  
seconds; this indicator lamp goes off and  
the function returns to the initial display.  
– After modifying one or both bumpers (added  
protection).  
– If the sensors have been repainted other  
than by the dealer network.  
End of the parking space entry or exit  
manoeuvre  
– If the boot is heavily loaded, the tilt of the  
vehicle towards the rear may interfere with the  
distance measurements.  
– With sensors not approved for the vehicle.  
The vehicle stops as soon as the manoeuvre is  
completed.  
Do not use the function under the  
following exterior conditions:  
Malfunctions  
The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,  
accompanied by the message "Manoeuvre  
completed" on the touch screen.  
When the function is deactivated, this  
indicator lamp goes off, accompanied by  
an audible signal.  
When the function is not activated, this  
indicator lamp will flash briefly and an  
audible signal will be emitted to indicate a system  
malfunction.  
– Alongside a soft shoulder (e.g. ditch) or quay  
or on the edge of a drop.  
– When the road surface is slippery (e.g. ice).  
If the malfunction occurs while the system is in  
use, the indicator lamp goes off.  
If any of the following malfunctions  
occurs, do not use the system:  
When entering a parking space, the driver may be  
required to complete the manoeuvre.  
If the parking sensor malfunction  
occurs during use, indicated by one  
of these warning lamps coming on, it causes the  
function to deactivate.  
– If a tyre is under-inflated.  
– If one of the bumpers is damaged.  
– If one of the cameras is faulty.  
Operating limits  
– The system may suggest an inappropriate  
parking space (parking prohibited, work in  
progress with damaged road surface, location  
alongside a ditch, etc.).  
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.
