Zoom view  
180° view  
This system provides active parking assistance:  
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 drive out of a "parallel parking" space  
automatically.  
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.  
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.  
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 180° view assists with exiting from a parking  
space in forward gear, making it possible to  
see the approach of vehicles, pedestrians and  
cyclists.  
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.  
Activation/Deactivation

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.  
For "parallel" parking, the space must at  
least equal to the length of your vehicle  
plus 1 m.  
For "bay" parking, the space must at least  
equal to the width of your vehicle plus 0.70 m.  
Preparing for the manoeuvre  
The driver's seat belt must remain fastened  
during 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.  
►ꢀ Press the button on the gear selector or, on  
the touch screen, select Driving/Vehicle > DS  
PARK PILOT.  
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.  
►ꢀ To prepare for the manoeuvre, you must fulfil  
all of these instructions.  
Activating the system deactivates Blind  
spot monitoring.  
This symbol will be displayed  
automatically when the instruction has  
been applied.

►ꢀ While holding down the button, gradually  
release the brake pedal.  
►ꢀ 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).  
– Finalise the manoeuvre.  
The button must be held down throughout  
the manoeuvre.  
You can deactivate the system at any time  
up until the start of the manoeuvre, by

The Reversing camera or 360 Vision and the  
parking sensors are automatically activated to  
help monitor the vehicle's close surroundings  
throughout the manoeuvre.  
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!

Permanent interruption after suspending the  
manoeuvre:  
►ꢀ Depress the brake pedal and engage a gear.  
Aborting the manoeuvre  
Performing the manoeuvre  
The manoeuvre is aborted in the following  
situations:  
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:  
– No action by the driver within 30 seconds of the  
manoeuvre being suspended.  
If the vehicle slows down significantly, the  
brake lamps may come on.  
– Intentional application of the parking brake.  
– Gearbox mode P engaged by the driver.  
– Driver's seat belt unfastened.  
Suspending/resuming the manoeuvre  
Manoeuvre in progress.  
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.  
– Opening of a door or the boot.  
– Activation of the direction indicator lamps on  
the opposite side to that of the manoeuvre.
