DS 3: Park Assist / Operating limits. Malfunctions
DS 3 2016-2025 Owners Manual
Operating limits
- 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 bend.
- 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.).
- If the boot is heavily loaded, the tilt of the
vehicle towards the rear may interfere with the
distance measurements.
Do not use the function
under the
following exterior conditions:
- Alongside a soft shoulder (e.g. ditch) or quay
or on the edge of a drop.
- When the road surface is slippery (e.g. ice).
If any of the following
malfunctions
occurs, do not use the system:
- If a tyre is under-inflated.
- If one of the bumpers is damaged.
- If one of the cameras is faulty.
If the vehicle has
undergone any of the
following modifications, do not use the
function:
- When carrying an object extending beyond
the dimensions of the vehicle (ladder on the
roof bars, bicycle carrier on the tailgate, etc.).
- With a non-approved towball in place.
- With snow chains fitted.
- When driving on a small-diameter or "spacesaver"
type spare wheel.
- When the wheels fitted are a different size
from the original ones.
- After modifying one or both bumpers (added
protection).
- If the sensors have been repainted other
than by the dealer network.
- With sensors not approved for the vehicle.
Malfunctions
