Renault Koleos Owners Manual: Assisted parking

This function assists with parking manoeuvres.

Take your hands off the steering wheel.

You only control the pedals and the gear lever.

You can retake control at any time by operating the steering wheel.

Switching on

With the vehicle at a standstill or driving at less than approximately 18.6 mph (30 km/h), press switch 1. The warning light integrated on switch 1 lights up and the 2 screen appears on the multifunction screen.

Special features

Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indicated by arrows 3 are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

Choice of manoeuvre

The system can perform four types of manoeuvres:

• 4 parallel parking;
• 5 perpendicular parking;
• 6 angle parking;
• 7 moving out of a parallel parking space.

From the multifunction screen, select the manoeuvre to be performed.

And activate the direction indicator (turn signal) on the side you wish to park.

Note: When starting the vehicle, or after successfully completed parallel parking using the system, the default manoeuvre proposed by the system is assistance in exiting a parallel parking space. In other cases, the default manoeuvre can be set with 8 from the multifunction screen.

Operation

Parking As long as the vehicle speed is less than 18.6 mph (30 km/h), the system looks for available parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle.

Once a space has been found, it is displayed on the multifunction screen, indicated by a small letter "P". Drive slowly, with the indicators activated on the side of the space, until the message "Stop" is displayed, alongside a beep.

The space is then indicated on the multifunction screen by a capital "P".

• Stop the vehicle;
• select reverse gear.

Warning light lights up on the instrument panel, along with a beep.

• release the steering wheel;
• follow the system instructions provided on the multifunction screen.

Your speed should not exceed around 4 mph (7 km/h). Bar 9 tells you the progress.

Once the warning light on the instrument panel goes off and a beep sounds, the manoeuvre has been completed.

Special note

• Drive slowly and always be ready to use the brake;

• The system can not detect parking spaces between objects except for vehicles such as a post, motorbike or obstacle;

• The system can not detect parking spaces made after detecting or before detecting;

• Maintain the distance about 50~150 cm from the parked vehicles when looking for parking spaces.

  The system may not detect spaces when the distance is less than 50 cm or over 150 cm;

• You can move the gear lever position R to D or D to R while parking. The system is still available.

• The driver should look out for the detected space if it is possible to park (obstacles in the space);

• If you fit a different tire or wheel, the system performance may be changed. For the best performance, fit the same size with original one;

• The system may not work if the wheels are misaligned. Contact an approved dealer.

Exiting a parallel parking space

• Select "exit parallel parking space" mode;
• activate the direction indicator on the side you wish to go out of;
• press and hold switch 1 (around 2 seconds).

Warning light lights up on the instrument panel, along with a beep.

• release the steering wheel;
• go forwards and backwards using the parking distance control system alerts.

Your speed should not exceed around 4 mph (7 km/h).

Once in position to exit the space, the system will notify you of the end of the manoeuvre.

Once the warning light on the instrument panel goes off and a beep sounds, the manoeuvre has been completed.

Special note

• While exiting the parking space, the system is disrupted for safety when there is risk to impact with obstacles;

• The system may not be operated when the space is small;

• When exiting or parking the space, drive forwards or backwards after rotating steering wheel.

• In case that the sensor is frozen or obscured, the surrounding has very high or small objects or posts, the system can be disrupted although there is exiting space.

Suspending the manoeuvre

The manoeuvre is suspended in the following circumstances:

• you take control of the wheel;
• a door or the boot is opened;
• the vehicle is at a standstill for too long;
• an obstacle in the direction of movement prevents the manoeuvre from being completed;
• the engine will stop.

Once the warning light on the instrument panel goes off and a beep sounds, the manoeuvre has been suspended.

Then to resume the manoeuvre, press and hold the system activation switch.

In this case, the reason for suspending the manoeuvre will be displayed on the multifunction screen.

Make sure:

• you have released the steering wheel and;
• that all doors and the boot are closed, and;
• that no obstacles are in the way of the direction of movement, and;
• that the engine is started.

Cancelling the manoeuvre

The manoeuvre can be stopped in the following cases:

• by pressing the system activation switch;
• the vehicle speed has exceeded 4 mph (7 km/h);
• You have performed more than ten forwards/backwards movements in one manoeuvre;
• the parking distance control sensors are dirty or blocked;
• the vehicle wheels have skidded.

Once the warning light on the instrument panel goes off and a beep sounds, the manoeuvre has been ended.

Special note

The system may be disrupted in the following circumstances. In this cases, you should park by yourself because of risk to impact;

• if there are obstacles around posts;
• if the parking space has obstacles such as bicycles, motorbikes, narrow posts, etc;
• if the parking space is winding, slippery or uneven;
• if the tire pressure is lower or higher than the standard;
• in very bad weather (heavy rain, snow or strong winds);
• fitting different tires (snow chain, spare tire, different size wheel).
