– presence of stationary objects (e.g. parked

vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs).

– vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.

– on winding roads or in case of sharp turns.

– when overtaking or being overtaken by a

very long vehicle (e.g. truck, bus), which is both

detected in a blind spot from behind and present

in the driver's field of vision from the front.

– quick overtaking manoeuvre.

front and behind are confused with a lorry or a

stationary object.

This system detects and signals the proximity of

obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier)

using sensors located in the bumper.

The system may be temporarily disturbed

by certain climatic conditions (e.g. rain,

hail).

Rear parking sensors

►ꢀ Engage reverse gear to start the system

(confirmed by an audible signal).

The system is switched off when reverse gear is

disengaged.

In particular, driving on a wet road or going

from a dry to a wet area can cause false alerts

(e.g. presence of a cloud of water droplets in

the blind spot interpreted as a vehicle).

In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the

sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.

Take care not to cover the warning zone in the

door mirrors, or the detection zones on the

No alert is triggered in the following conditions:

Audible assistance

The sound emitted by the speaker (right or

left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is

located.

Front parking sensor operation is suspended if

the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in

forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected

or the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Adjusting the audible signal

Depending on version, with DS

The sound emitted by the speaker (front

or rear) locates the obstacle relative to

the vehicle, whether in front of or behind it on

its path.

CONNECT RADIO or NAVIGATION,

pressing this button opens the window for

adjusting the volume of the audible signal.

The system signals the presence of obstacles

which are both within the sensors’ detection zone

and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of

the steering wheel.

Visual assistance

Side parking sensors

This supplements the audible signal, without

taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by

displaying bars on the screen whose location

represents the distance between the obstacle

and the vehicle (white: more distant, orange:

close, red: very close).

Using four additional sensors located on the sides

of the bumpers, the system records the position

of obstacles during the manoeuvre and indicates

them when they are located alongside the vehicle.

Depending on version, in the example shown, only

the obstacles present in the shaded area will be

signalled by the audible assistance.

The proximity information is given by an

intermittent audible signal, the frequency of

which increases as the vehicle approaches the

obstacle.

Only fixed obstacles are indicated

correctly. Moving obstacles detected at

the beginning of the manoeuvre may be

indicated mistakenly, while moving obstacles

that appear alongside the vehicle but were not

previously recorded will not be indicated.

When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"

symbol is displayed on the screen.

When the distance between the vehicle and

the obstacle becomes less than about thirty

centimetres, the audible signal becomes

continuous.

Front parking sensors

Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the front

parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle

is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is

below 6 mph (10 km/h).
