DS 3: DS PARK PILOT / Operating limits. Malfunctions

• 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 does not allow the vehicle to follow the 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 to perform parking manoeuvres on a steep slope or 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.).
• The system may be impaired by incorrect inflation of the vehicle’s tyres.
• The tilting of the vehicle if the boot is heavily loaded can affect the distance measurements.

Do not use the function under the following exterior conditions:

• Alongside a soft shoulder (ditch) or quay or on the edge of a drop.
•  When the road surface is slippery (ice).

Do not use the function in the presence of one of the following malfunctions:

• If a tyre is under-inflated.
• If one of the bumpers is damaged.
• If one of the cameras is faulty.
• If the brake lamps are not working.

Do not use the function if the vehicle has been subject to one of the following modifications:

• 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 outside the dealer network.
• With sensors not approved for the vehicle.

Malfunctions

When the function is not activated, the temporary flashing of this warning lamp and an audible signal indicate a DS PARK PILOT malfunction.

If the malfunction occurs while in use, the warning lamp goes off.

If a parking sensor malfunction, indicated by this warning lamp coming on, occurs during DS PARK PILOT use, the function is deactivated.

Consult a dealer or a qualified workshop.

In the event of a power steering malfunction, this warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel, accompanied by a message.

You must stop the vehicle.
