ASSISTED PARKING
This function assists with parking manoeuvres.
Take your hands off the steering wheel. You only control the pedals and the gear lever.
You can retake control at any time by operating the steering wheel.
Switching on
With the vehicle at a standstill or driving at less than approximately 18.6 mph (30 km/h), press switch 1. The warning light integrated on switch 1 lights up and the 2 screen appears on the multifunction screen.
Special features
Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indicated by arrows 3 are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
Choice of manoeuvre
The system can perform four types of manoeuvres:
- parallel parking;
- perpendicular parking;
- angle parking;
- moving out of a parallel parking space.
From the multifunction screen, select the manoeuvre to be performed.
Note: when starting the vehicle, or after having successfully completed parallel parking using the system, the default manoeuvre proposed by the system is assistance in exiting a parallel parking space. In other cases, the default manoeuvre can be set from the multifunction screen.
Operation
Parking
As long as the vehicle speed is less than 20 mph (30 km/h), the system looks for available parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle.
Once a space has been found, it is displayed on the multifunction screen, indicated by a small letter “P”. So that the vehicle can detect a space, drive slowly, with the indicators activated on the same side as the space, until the message “Stop” is displayed, along with a beep.
The space is then indicated on the multifunction screen by a capital “P”.
- Stop the vehicle;
- select reverse gear.
The indicator light lights up on the instrument panel and a beep sounds;
- release the steering wheel;
- follow the system instructions provided on the multifunction screen.
Your speed should not exceed around 4 mph (7 km/h).
Once the warning light on the instrument panel goes off and a beep sounds, the manoeuvre has been completed.
Exiting a parallel parking space
- Select “Exit parallel parking space” mode;
- activate the direction indicator on the side you wish to go out of;
- press and hold switch 1 (around 2 seconds).
The indicator light lights up on the instrument panel and a beep sounds;
- release the steering wheel;
- go forwards and backwards using the parking distance control system alerts.
Your speed should not exceed around 4 mph (7 km/h).
Once in position to exit the space, the system will notify you of the end of the manoeuvre.
Once the warning light on the instrument panel goes off and a beep sounds, the manoeuvre has been completed.
Suspending the manoeuvre
The manoeuvre is suspended in the following circumstances:
- you take control of the wheel;
- a door or the boot is opened;
- the vehicle is at a standstill for too long;
- an obstacle in the direction of movement prevents the manoeuvre from being completed;
- the engine will stop.
Once the warning light on the instrument panel goes off and a beep sounds, the manoeuvre has been suspended. To resume the manoeuvre, press and hold the system activation switch.
In this case, the reason for suspending the manoeuvre will be displayed on the multifunction screen.
Make sure:
- you have released the steering wheel;
and
- that all doors and the boot are closed;
and
- that no obstacles are in the way of the direction of movement;
and
- that the engine is started.
Cancelling the manoeuvre
The manoeuvre can be stopped in the following cases:
- by pressing the system activation switch;
- the vehicle speed has exceeded 4 mph (7 km/h);
- you have performed more than ten forwards/backwards movements in one manoeuvre;
- the parking distance control sensors are dirty or blocked;
- the vehicle wheels have skidded.
Once the warning light on the instrument panel goes off and a beep sounds, the manoeuvre has been completed.
This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
Make sure that the manoeuvre complies with the applicable traffic regulations at your location.
- The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving: always ensure that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pushchair, bicycle, stone, post etc.) in the blind spot when manoeuvring.
- The system cannot detect objects located in the sensor blind spots.
- When manoeuvring, the steering wheel may turn quickly: do not put your hands inside, and make sure that nothing is caught inside.
- Always visually check that the parking space proposed by the system is still available and contains no obstacles.
- The system should only be used when towing a trailer or when there is a towing or load carrying system on the vehicle.
