Malfunction
If a malfunction occurs, when
shifting to reverse, one of these
warning lamps comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal (short beep).
If the malfunction occurs while the
parking sensors are being used, it

Using one or two cameras, the close
surroundings of the vehicle are recorded whilst
manoeuvring at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the blue brackets) in real time and as
the manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information from the parking sensors.
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
To activate the camera, located near the
number plate lamps, engage reverse and keep
the speed of the vehicle below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The system is deactivated:

The camera records the vehicle's surroundings
during the manoeuvre in order to create
a view from above the rear 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.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the
automatic view changes from a rear view
(standard) to a view from above (zoom), as an
obstacle is approached at the level of the red
line (less than 30 cm) during a manoeuvre.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the
screen.
The blue lines 1 represent the width of your
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their
direction changes depending on the position of
the steering wheel.
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30 cm
from the bumper; the two blue 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.

Park Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system provides active assistance with
parking: it detects a parking space then
operates the steering system to park in this
space.
With manual and automatic gearboxes, the
driver manages the accelerator, brakes and
forward and reverse gear engagement.
During phases of entry into and exit from
a parking space, the system provides visual
and audible information to the driver in order
to make the manoeuvres safe. Several forward
and reverse manoeuvres may be required.
The Park Assist system provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:
A. Entry into a parallel parking space.
B. Exit from a parallel parking space.
C. Entry into a bay parking space.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel performs rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could
At any time, the driver can take back control by
holding the steering wheel.
The 180° view assists with exiting from
a parking bay in forward gear, making it
possible to see the approach of vehicles,
pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a complete manoeuvre.
It consists of 3 areas: left A, centre B and
right C.
This view is available only from the view

In STOP mode, activation of Park Assist
restarts the engine.
The Park Assist system cannot work with
