WARNING
5) The operation of the radars, along
with any associated functions, could
be affected by dirt accumulation (e.g.
mud, ice), in poor weather conditions
(e.g. heavy rain, snow) or if bumpers
are damaged. If the front bumper needs
to be repainted, contact a Dealership.
Some types of paint may interfere with
radar operation.
6) The camera and its associated
functions may be impaired or may
not function if the windscreen area in
front of the camera is dirty, fogged,
frozen, covered with snow, damaged
or hidden by a sticker. Regularly demist
the windscreen in cold and wet weather
conditions. Poor visibility (inadequate
road illumination, heavy rain, dense fog,
falling snow), glare (headlights of an
oncoming vehicle, low sun, reflections on
a wet road, exiting a tunnel, alternating
shadow and light) can also impair
detection performance. If the windscreen
is replaced, contact a Dealership to
recalibrate the camera. Otherwise,
operation of the associated driving
assistance systems may be interrupted.
7) Images from the cameras displayed
on the touchscreen or instrument panel
may be distorted by the terrain. In the
presence of shadowy areas or under
bright sunlight or inadequate lighting, the
image may appear dark and with lower
contrast. Obstacles may seem further
away than they actually are.
8) The operation of the sensors and any
associated functions may be interrupted
by noise pollution emitted by noisy
vehicles and machinery (e.g. trucks,
jack hammers). An impact to the front or
rear of the vehicle may affect the sensor
settings, which is not always detected
by the system. Distance measurements
may be distorted. The sensors do not
systematically detect obstacles that are
too low (floors, bolts) or too thin (trees,
poles, fences). Some obstacles located
in the blind spots of the sensors may
not be detected or may no longer be
detected during manoeuvring. Some
materials (fabric) absorb sound waves:
pedestrians might not be detected.
9) Clean the bumpers, the door mirrors
and the camera field of view regularly.
During high-pressure washing of the
vehicle, keep the pressure jet at a
minimum distance of 30 cm from the
radar, the cameras and the sensors.
WHEN PARKED
IMPORTANT
18) Never leave children unattended
in the vehicle. Always remove the key
from the ignition device when leaving the
vehicle and take it out with you.
19) In the case of parking manoeuvres
on roads on a gradient, the front wheels
must be steered towards the pavement
(when parking downhill), or in the
opposite direction if the vehicle is parked
uphill. If the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope, it is advisable to block the wheels
with a wedge or stone.
20) The parking brake must always be
engaged when leaving the vehicle.
WARNING
10) If the vehicle is equipped with self-
levelling air suspension, always check
that there is sufficient space above
the roof and around the vehicle when
parking. Indeed, the vehicle could raise
(or lower) automatically depending on
load or temperature changes.
