Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
Units of speed
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.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
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.
Other cameras
Road signs recognition
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
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.
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.
Maintenance
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.
Sensors
Mats/Pedal trims
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.
The use of mats or pedal trims not
approved by the Manufacturer may interfere
with the operation of the speed limiter or
cruise control.
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.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
– Ensure that the mat is secured correctly.
– Never fit one mat on top of another.
