operation
When reversing (and up to approxi-
mately 5 seconds after shifting to an-
other gear), a view of the surroundings
to the rear of the vehicle is displayed on
the instrument panel accompanied by
two clearance gauges 1 and 2 (mobile
and fixed)
note: make sure that the reversing
camera is not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc )
Mobile clearance gauge 1
This is shown in blue on the naviga-
tion screen It indicates the vehicle tra-
jectory according to the position of the
steering wheel
42
Fixed clearance gauge 2
The fixed clearance gauge comprises
coloured markers A, B and C indicating
the distance behind the vehicle:
– A (red) approximately 50 centime-
c
tres from the vehicle;
B – B (yellow) approximately  metre
from the vehicle;
a
– C (green) approximately 2 to
3 metres from the vehicle;
The screen shows a reverse image
The frames are a representation
projected onto flat ground; this in-
formation must not be taken into
account when superimposed on a
vertical object or an object on the
ground
Objects which appear on the edge
of the screen may be deformed
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in
sunshine etc ), the camera vision
may be adversely affected
When the tailgate is open or not
closed properly, the message "Boot
open" is displayed on the instrument
panel (risk of incorrect information
on-screen)
While your system is being updated,
the reversing camera will be tempo-
rarily unavailable
This gauge remains fixed and indicates
the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are
in line with the vehicle
This system is initially used with the aid
of the gauges (mobile for the trajectory
and fixed for the distance), then when
the red zone is reached, use the rep-
resentation of the bumper to stop ac-
curately
This function is an additional
aid It cannot, therefore,
under any circumstances
replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver
The driver should always pay atten-
tion to sudden incidents during driv-
ing: always ensure that there are no
moving obstacles (such as a child,
animal, pram, bicycle, etc ) or small,
narrow objects such as stones or
posts in your path when manoeu-
