DS 3: DS PARK PILOT / Preparing for the manoeuvre. Performing the manoeuvre. End of manoeuvre

Preparing for 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.

• To prepare for the manoeuvre, you must fulfil all of these instructions.

This symbol will be displayed automatically when the instruction has been applied.

When all of the instructions have been validated, a new page is displayed, indicating that you can undertake the manoeuvre.

• To undertake the manoeuvre, press this button.
• While holding down the button, gradually release the brake pedal.

The button must be held down throughout the manoeuvre.

The start of the manoeuvre is indicated by the display of a window with the message "Manoeuvre in progress", accompanied by an audible signal.

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

Performing the manoeuvre

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:

Manoeuvre in progress.

Manoeuvre interrupted.

Manoeuvre completed or aborted.

The white arrows indicate that the driver must take back control of the vehicle.

The direction of the manoeuvre is indicated by these symbols:

Forward gear.

Reverse gear.

The central arrow is green whilst the vehicle is moving, or white to indicate the next manoeuvring direction.

Throughout the whole manoeuvre, indicated by the green "AUTO" symbol, the driver must hold down the function control button.

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!

If the vehicle slows down significantly, the brake lamps may come on.

Suspending/resuming the manoeuvre

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.

• To suspend the manoeuvre, the driver can:
• Release the function control button.
• Depress the brake pedal.
• Resume control of the steering.
• Change the gearbox status (except changing to P).

The vehicle is immediately immobilised if the manoeuvre is suspended.

This is confirmed by the display of this symbol, accompanied by the message "Manoeuvre suspended".

Resuming the manoeuvre after resolving the conditions for suspending it:

• Release all controls (brake pedal, function control button, steering wheel, gear selector).
• Press the function control button again.

Permanent interruption after suspending the manoeuvre:

• Depress the brake pedal and engage a gear.

Aborting the manoeuvre

The manoeuvre is aborted in the following situations:

• No action by the driver within 30 seconds of the manoeuvre being suspended.
• Intentional application of the parking brake.
• Gearbox mode P engaged by the driver.
• Driver's seat belt unfastened.
• Opening of a door or the boot.
• Activation of the direction indicator lamps on the opposite side to that of the manoeuvre.
• In certain cases, when a wheel of the vehicle hits a pavement or a low obstacle.
• Triggering of anti-slip regulation on a slippery road.
• Sudden appearance in the field of the manoeuvre of an obstacle not detected by the system before the manoeuvre was started, with the obstacle remaining for more than 30 seconds.
• After 10 manoeuvres to enter or exit a "parallel" parking space and after 7 manoeuvres to enter a "bay" parking space,
• System malfunction during the manoeuvre.

Abandoning the manoeuvre immediately triggers the vehicle’s brakes and automatically deactivates the function.

This symbol is displayed accompanied by the message "Manoeuvre aborted".

A message prompts the driver to take back control of the vehicle.

The function is deactivated after a few seconds; this indicator lamp goes off on the instrument panel and the initial display is resumed.

The system automatically engages gearbox mode P after 4 seconds.

End of manoeuvre

The vehicle stops as soon as the manoeuvre is completed.

This symbol is displayed accompanied by the message "Manoeuvre completed".

When the function is deactivated, this indicator lamp on the instrument panel goes off and the original display is restored.

• If entering a parking space, the driver may be required to complete the manoeuvre. The gearbox changes to P 4 seconds after completion of the manoeuvre.
• When exiting a parking space, the gearbox changes to N when the manoeuvre is complete. A message and symbols prompt the driver to take back control of the vehicle.

The gearbox automatically changes to mode P if no action is taken by the driver within 30 seconds.
