Driving
If entering a parking space, the driver may be
required to complete the manoeuvre.
Operating limits
- Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
- A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors' settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
- If the boot is heavily loaded, the tilt of the
vehicle towards the rear may interfere with
the distance measurements.
-
The system may suggest an inappropriate
parking space (parking prohibited, work
in progress with damaged road surface,
location alongside a
ditch, etc.).
-
The system may indicate that a space has
been found but will not offer it because of
a fixed obstacle on the opposite side of
the manoeuvre, which would not allow the
vehicle to follow a trajectory required for
parking.
- The system may indicate that a space has
been found but the manoeuvre will not be
triggered, because the width of the lane is
insufficient.
- The system is not designed for performing
the parking manoeuvre on a
sharp curve.
-
The system does not detect spaces that are
much larger than the vehicle itself or that
are delimited by obstacles that are too low
(pavements, studs, etc.) or too thin (trees,
posts, wire fences, etc.).
- Certain obstacles located in the sensors'
blind spots may not be detected or may no
longer be detected during the manoeuvre.
The vehicle's sensors and camera(s) may be
impaired by:
-
accumulated snow or fallen leaves on the
road,
- adverse weather conditions (heavy rain,
thick fog, falling snow),
- noise interference from noisy vehicles and
machinery (lorries, pneumatic drills, etc.).
Malfunctions
When the function is not activated,
the temporary flashing of this
indicator lamp and an audible signal
indicate a system fault.
If the fault occurs during the use of the system,
the indicator lamp goes off.
If the fault in the parking sensors
occurs during use, indicated by this
warning lamp coming on, it causes
the function to deactivate.
In the event of a
fault, have the system checked
by a
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault with the
power steering, this warning lamp
is displayed in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a
message.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.
DS PARK PILOT
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system provides active assistance
with parking on vehicles fitted with the
EAT8
automatic gearbox: it detects a free
"parallel" or "bay" parking space then operates
the vehicle to park it there without intervention
from the driver. It also allows you to drive out of
a "parallel parking" space automatically.
