Driving

Important!

Driving advice

Observe driving regulations and remain vigilant

whatever the traffic conditions.

Never drive with the parking brake

applied – Risk of overheating and damage

to the braking system!

As the exhaust system of your vehicle

is very hot, even several minutes after

switching off the engine, never park or run

the engine on inflammable surfaces (dry

grass, fallen leaves, etc.) – Risk of fire!

Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your

hands on the wheel so that you are ready to

react at any time to any eventuality.

As a safety measure, the driver should only

carry out any operations that require close

attention when the vehicle is stationary.

On a long journey, taking a break every two

hours is strongly recommended.

If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:

-

check that the depth of water does not

exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that

might be generated by other users,

-

deactivate the Stop & Start function,

In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate

the need to brake and increase the distance

from other vehicles.

drive as slowly as possible without stalling.

In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),

do not stop and do not switch off the engine.

-

Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with

the engine running. If you have to leave

your vehicle with the engine running, apply

the parking brake and put the gearbox into

neutral or position N or P, depending on

the type of gearbox.

On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety

conditions allow, make several light brake

applications to dry the brake discs and pads.

If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Never leave the engine running in

an enclosed area without adequate

ventilation: internal combustion engines

emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon

monoxide. There is a risk of poisoning and

death!

In very severe wintry conditions

Driving on flooded roads

(temperatures below -23°C), to guarantee

correct operation and the longevity of

the mechanical elements of your vehicle

(engine and gearbox), the engine must be

left running for 4 minutes before driving.

We strongly advise against driving on flooded

roads, as this could cause serious damage

to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the

electrical systems of your vehicle.

In case of towing

Driving with a trailer places greater

demands on the towing vehicle and

requires extra care from the driver.

to wind.

Starting

Cooling

The parking brake must be applied.

Lighting

Towing a trailer on a slope increases the

temperature of the coolant.

As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling

capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.

F To lower the engine speed, reduce your

speed.

The maximum towable load on an incline

depends on the gradient and the exterior

temperature.

In all cases, keep a check on the coolant

temperature.

F Check the electrical lighting and signalling

on the trailer and the headlamp beam height

of your vehicle.

F With a manual gearbox, shift the gear lever

into neutral, fully depress the clutch pedal

and keep the pedal down until the engine

runs.

For more information on Headlamp

beam height adjustment, refer to the

corresponding section.

F With an automatic gearbox, place the

selector in position P and fully depress the

brake pedal.

Certain driving or manoeuvring aid

functions are automatically disabled if an

approved towing system is used.

If the exterior temperature is high, it is

recommended that the engine be allowed

to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle

comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.

New vehicle

Do not pull a trailer before having driven at least

approximately 620 miles (1,000 kilometres).

Braking

1. Stop position.

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.

To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of

engine braking is recommended.

2. Ignition on position.

3. Starting position.

121

Driving

F

Insert the key in the ignition switch. The

system recognises the start code.

Unlock the steering column by simultaneously

turning the steering wheel and the key.

The warning lamp does not come on

if the engine is hot. In some climatic

conditions, it is advised to follow the

recommendations below:

With Petrol engines, after a cold start,

preheating the catalytic converter can

cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when

stationary, with the engine running, for

anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle

speed).

-

In temperate conditions, do not leave

the engine at idle to warm up but move

off straight away and drive at moderate

speed.

In certain circumstances, you may have to

turn the steering wheel firmly to move the

wheels (if the wheels are against a kerb,

for example).

Depending on version, if the air

conditioning is activated and when the

exterior temperature exceeds 35°C,

the idle engine speed can accelerate

to reach 1,300 rpm according to the air

conditioning requirements.

If the engine does not start straight away,

switch off the ignition.

Wait a few seconds before restarting the

engine. If the engine does not start after

several attempts, do not keep trying: you

risk damaging the starter motor or the

engine.

-

In wintry conditions, the pre-heater

warning lamp will stay on for a longer

period after switching on the ignition;

wait until it goes off before starting.

In very severe wintry conditions

(temperature below -23°C), to ensure

the correct operation and durability of

the mechanical components of your

vehicle (engine and gearbox), leave

the engine running for 4 minutes

before moving off.

Call in a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:

-

only use mats which are suited to the

fixings already present in the vehicle;

these fixings must be used,

F Turn the key to position 2, ignition on, to

operate the engine pre-heating system.

-

never place one mat on top of another.

The use of mats not approved by

PEUGEOT may interfere with access to

the pedals and hinder the operation of the

cruise control/speed limiter.

The mats approved by PEUGEOT have

two fixings located below the seat.

by pressing button M again.

A point of resistance may be noticed when

moving to position P.

The indicator lamp for the button goes off.

If the selector is not in position P, when the

driver's door is opened or approximately

45 seconds after the ignition is switched

off, an audible signal sounds and

a message appears.

F Return the selector to position P; the

audible signal stops and the message

disappears.

In manual mode, it is not necessary

to release the accelerator pedal when

changing gear.

Depending on the road configuration (e.g.

mountainous road), manual operation is

preferable.

This is because automatic operation may

not be best suited, not allowing the use of

engine braking.

It is only possible to change from one gear

to another if the vehicle speed and engine

speed permit.

On a steep slope with a loaded vehicle,

press the brake pedal, select position P,

apply the parking brake then release the

brake pedal.

134

Driving

In all circumstances, ensure that the

selector is in position P before leaving

your vehicle.

To reduce fuel consumption when

stationary for long periods with the

engine running (traffic jam, etc.), position

the selector on N and apply the parking

brake.

With an automatic gearbox, the system is

only active in manual operation.

The information appears in the

instrument panel, in the form of an

ascending or descending arrow and

the recommended gear.

Operating fault

When the ignition is on, a message appears

in the instrument panel screen to indicate

a gearbox fault.

In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up

mode and is locked in 3^rdgear. You may feel

a substantial knock when changing from P

to R and from N to R. This will not cause any

damage to the gearbox.

Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h), local speed

restrictions permitting.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or

a qualified workshop.

Gear shift indicator

(Depending on engine.)

The system adapts its gear shift

recommendation according to the driving

conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the

driver's requirements (power, acceleration,

braking, etc.).

This system reduces fuel consumption by

recommending the most appropriate gear.

Operation

The system never suggests:

-

engaging first gear,

engaging reverse.

Depending on the driving situation and your

vehicle's equipment, the system may advise

you to skip one or more gears. You can

follow this indication without engaging the

intermediate gears.

Gear shift recommendations must not be

considered as compulsory. In fact, the road

layout, the traffic density and safety remain the

deciding factors when choosing the best gear.

The driver therefore remains responsible for

deciding whether or not to follow the indications

issued by the system.

6

Stop & Start

There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:

The Stop & Start system puts the engine

temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during

stops in traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The

engine restarts automatically – START mode –

as soon as you want to move off.

-

if you press the accelerator and brake

pedals at the same time (braking or

acceleration must be done only with

the right foot),

-

if you force the selector from position P

to another position when the battery is

flat.

The restart takes place instantly, quickly and

silently.

Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start system

reduces fuel consumption and exhaust

emissions as well as the noise level when

stationary.

This function cannot be deactivated.

Stop & Start time counter

Going into engine STOP

mode

(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)

For your convenience during parking

manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available

for a few seconds after coming out of

reverse gear.

Stop & Start does not affect the

functionality of the vehicle, such as for

example, braking, power steering, etc.

A slight delay between the vehicle

stopping and the engine cutting out may

be noticed.

In this case, this indicator lamp flashes

for a few seconds, then goes off.

If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time

counter adds up the time spent in STOP mode during

a journey.

This operation is perfectly normal.

It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on.

Going into engine START

mode

Special cases: STOP mode

not available

STOP mode is not activated with certain

temporary conditions (examples: battery

charge, engine temperature, braking

assistance, exterior temperature) to assure

correct operation of the system and mainly

when:

With a manual gearbox, the Stop

& Start indicator lamp goes off in

the instrument panel and the engine

restarts automatically when you

press the clutch pedal fully down to

the floor.

Never refuel with the engine in STOP

mode; you must switch off the ignition.

With an automatic gearbox, the Stop & Start

indicator lamp in the instrument panel goes off

and the engine restarts automatically when:

When the vehicle speed is below 2 mph

(3 km/h) or the vehicle is stationary

(depending on engine), this indicator lamp

comes on in the instrument panel and the

engine goes into standby automatically:

-

the vehicle is on a steep slope (rising or

falling),

the driver's door is open,

a sliding side door is open,

the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph

(10 km/h) since the last engine start by the

driver,

the electric parking brake is applied or being

applied,

the engine is needed to maintain

a comfortable temperature in the passenger

compartment,

-

you release the brake pedal with the gear

selector in position D or M,

you are in position N with the brake pedal

released and you move the gear selector to

position D or M,

a qualified workshop.

Adaptive cruise control

Principle of operation

The system automatically adapts the speed of

your vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to

maintain a constant distance.

This system provides the following

functions:

Use the cruise control only where the

driving conditions allow running at

a constant speed and at an adequate safe

distance for a period of time.

Do not activate the cruise control in urban

areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep

roads, on slippery or flooded roads, or in

conditions of poor visibility (heavy rain,

fog, falling snow, etc.).

In some circumstances, it may not be

possible to maintain or even reach the

cruise speed set: towing, vehicle heavily

loaded, steep climb.

-

Automatically maintains the vehicle

at the speed set by the driver.

Automatic adjustment of the

distance between your vehicle and

the one in front.

If the vehicle in front is driving more slowly, the

system slows, or even stops your vehicle, using

engine braking and the braking system (for

versions fitted with an automatic gearbox).

If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes

lane, the cruise control progressively

accelerates your vehicle to return to the

programmed speed.

If the driver operates a direction indicator to

overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise control

allows your vehicle to temporarily approach

the vehicle in front to assist the overtaking

manoeuvre, though never exceeding the

programmed speed.

-

6

With an automatic gearbox, automatic

adjustment of the distance can cause your

vehicle to come to a complete stop.

The cruise control remains active after

changing gear regardless of the gearbox

type.

It manages the acceleration and deceleration

of the vehicle by automatically acting on the

engine and the braking system.

Malfunction

The cruise control operates by day and

night, in fog or moderate rainfall.

The system is not intended for the

following situations:

However, it is strongly recommended that

you always adapt the speed and the safety

distance in relation to the vehicles ahead,

according to the driving conditions, the

weather and the road surface.

Use the cruise control only where

the driving conditions allow running

at a constant speed and keeping an

adequate safety distance.

Do not activate the cruise control in urban

areas where pedestrians are likely to

cross the road, in heavy traffic (except for

versions with EAT8 gearbox), on winding

or steep roads, on slippery or flooded

roads, when there is snowfall, if the

windscreen is damaged or when the brake

lamps have failed.

In certain circumstances, it may not

trailer brake lamps (for approved trailers).

The following situations may interfere with

the operation of the system or prevent it

from working:

-

driving on a winding road,

poor visibility (inadequate street

lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense

fog, etc.),

dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming

vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp

road, leaving a tunnel, alternating

memorised.

Active Safety Brake

with Distance Alert and

Intelligent emergency

braking assistance

This system is designed to assist the

driver and improve road safety.

It is the driver's responsibility to

continuously monitor the state of the

traffic, observing the driving regulations.

This system does not replace the need for

vigilance on the part of the driver.

As a safety measure, the driver must

only modify the speed settings when

stationary.

As soon as the system detects a potential

obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in

case automatic braking is needed. This

may cause a slight noise and a slight

sensation of deceleration.

This system allows:

-

the driver to be warned that their vehicle is

at risk of collision with the vehicle in front,

a collision to be prevented, or its severity to

be limited, by reducing the vehicle's speed.

Changing a speed setting

From the Driving/Vehicle menu of

the touch screen, select "Driving

functions" then "Memorised speed

settings".

-

This system is a driving aid that includes three

functions:

Deactivation/Activation

By default, the system is automatically

activated at every engine start.

-

Distance Alert (alert if there is a risk of

collision),

"MEM" button

-

Intelligent emergency braking assistance,

Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency

braking).

The system can be deactivated or

activated via the vehicle settings

menu.

With this button, you can select a memorised

speed setting to use with the speed limiter or

particularly the area in front of the camera.

The internal surface of the windscreen can

also become misted around the camera.

In humid and cold weather, demist the

windscreen regularly.

Do not allow snow to accumulate on the

bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could

conceal the detection camera.

After an impact, the function automatically

stops operating. Contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop to have the

system checked.

The following situations may interfere with

the operation of the system or prevent it

from working:

In the following cases, deactivating the system

via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:

-

towing a trailer,

carrying long objects on roof bars or roof

rack,

with snow chains fitted,

before using an automatic car wash, with

the engine running,

In these situations, detection performance

may be reduced.

This threshold determines how you wish

to be alerted of the presence of a moving

or stationary vehicle in front of you, or

a pedestrian present in your traffic lane.

The system is automatically deactivated

after the use of certain "space-saver" type

spare wheels is detected (smaller diameter).

The system is automatically deactivated

after detection of a fault with the brake pedal

switch or with at least two brake lamps.

156

Driving

Level 2 (red): visual and audible

alert, warning you that a collision is

imminent.

The message "Brake!" is displayed.

Level 3: finally, in some cases, a

haptic alert in the form of micro-

braking may be given to confirm the

risk of collision.

Active Safety Brake

The current threshold can

be modified via the vehicle

configuration menu.

You can select one of three predefined

thresholds:

Where the speed of your vehicle is too

high approaching another vehicle, the first

level of alert may not be displayed: the

level 2 alert may be displayed directly.

Important: the level 1 alert is never

displayed for a stationary obstacle or

when the "Close" trigger threshold has

been selected.

-

"Distant",

"Normal",

"Close".

The last threshold selected is kept in memory

when the ignition is switched off.

Operation

Depending on the degree of risk of collision

detected by the system and the alert threshold

chosen by the driver, different levels of

alert can be triggered and displayed in the

instrument panel.

They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the

speed of your vehicle and the one in front, the

environmental conditions, the operation of the

vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals, etc.)

to trigger the alert at the best moment.

This function, also called automatic emergency

braking, intervenes following the alerts if the

driver does not react quickly enough and does

not operate the vehicle's brakes.

It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid

a frontal collision by your vehicle where the

driver fails to react.

6

Intelligent emergency

braking assistance

If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid

a collision, this system will supplement the

braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.

This assistance will only be provided if you

press the brake pedal.

Operation

The system operates under the following

conditions:

Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,

signalling to you that the vehicle in

front is very close.

The message "Vehicle close" is

displayed.

-

The vehicle's speed does not exceed

37 mph (60 km/h) when a pedestrian is

detected.

The vehicle's speed does not exceed

50 mph (80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle

is detected.

are alerted by the continuous illumination

of this warning lamp, accompanied by the

display of a message and an audible signal.

Conditions for operation

The speed of the vehicle must be between

40 mph and 112 mph (65 km/h and 180 km/h).

The driver must hold the steering wheel with

both hands.

The change of trajectory must not be

accompanied by operation of the direction

indicators.

If these warning lamps come

on after the engine has been

switched off and restarted, contact

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system

checked.

With an automatic gearbox, in the event of

automatic emergency braking until the vehicle

comes to a complete stop, keep the brake

pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from

starting off again.

The ESC system must be activated and fault-

free.

With a manual gearbox, in the event of

automatic emergency braking until the vehicle

comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.

Active Lane Departure

Warning System

Using a camera located at the top of the

windscreen to identify lane markings on the

ground and the edges of the road (depending

on version), the system corrects the trajectory

of the vehicle while alerting the driver if it

detects a risk of involuntarily crossing a line or

roadside (depending on version).

This system is a driving aid that cannot, in

any circumstances, replace the driver's own

vigilance. The driver must remain in control

of the vehicle under all circumstances.

The system helps the driver only when

there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily

wandering from the lane it is being driven

in. It does not manage the safe driving

distance, the speed of the vehicle or the

brakes.

The driver must hold the steering wheel

with both hands in a way that allows control

to be maintained in circumstances where

the system is not able to intervene (if lane

markings disappear, for example).

It is necessary to observe the driving

regulations and take a break every two

hours.

The driver can maintain control of the

vehicle at any time by sharply turning

the steering wheel and/or pressing the

accelerator pedal.

This system is particularly useful on motorways

and main roads.

Operation of the function may be felt by

slight vibration in the brake pedal.

If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,

the automatic braking is maintained for

1 to 2 seconds.

158

Driving

Operation

Deactivation/Activation

Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle

involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings

detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border),

it makes the correction to the trajectory

necessary to return the vehicle to its initial path.

The driver will notice a turning movement of the

steering wheel.

While the direction indicators are on and for

a few seconds after switching them off, the

system considers that any change of trajectory

is voluntary and no correction is triggered

during this period.

F Press and hold this button to deactivate the

system at any time.

The system is reactivated automatically

every time the ignition is switched on.

The driver can prevent the correction by

keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during

an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).

The correction is interrupted if the

direction indicators are operated.

If the system detects that the driver is not

holding the wheel firmly enough during

an automatic correction of trajectory,

it interrupts the correction. An alert is

triggered to encourage the driver to take

back control of the vehicle.

Deactivation is signalled by the

illumination of the warning lamp in

the button and of this warning lamp

in the instrument panel.

6

Reactivation is achieved by a short press.

162

Driving

Activation/Deactivation

The system may suffer temporary

interference in certain weather conditions

(rain, hail, etc.).

In particular, driving on a wet surface

or moving from a dry area to a wet area

can cause false alerts (for example,

the presence of a fog of water droplets

in the blind spot angle is interpreted as

a vehicle).

Activation or deactivation is set via

the vehicle configuration menu.

In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the

sensors are not covered by mud, ice or

snow.

The system state remains in memory

when the ignition is switched off.

Take care not to cover the warning zone in

Depending on version, the function relies either

on the "Driver Attention Warning" system alone

or combined with the "Driver Attention Alert"

system.

This alert is issued via the display of

a message encouraging you to take a break,

accompanied by an audible signal.

If the driver does not follow this advice, the

alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is

stopped.

These systems cannot in any circumstances

replace the need for vigilance on the part

of the driver who must remain in control

of their decisions. In no case can these

systems keep the driver awake or prevent

them from falling asleep at the wheel.

It is the driver's responsibility to stop if they

feel tired.

The system resets itself if one of the following

conditions is met:

-

engine running, the vehicle has been

stationary for more than 15 minutes,

the ignition has been switched off for a few

minutes,

the driver's seat belt is unfastened and their

door is open.

Using a camera placed at the top

of the windscreen, the system

assesses the driver's level of

vigilance by identifying variations

in trajectory compared to the lane

markings.

Activation/Deactivation

As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops

below 40 mph (65 km/h), the system goes

into standby.

The driving time is counted again once the

speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).

The function is activated or

deactivated via the vehicle

configuration menu.

This system is particularly suited to fast roads

(speed faster than 40 mph (65 km/h)).

When the system interprets the behaviour of

the vehicle as indicating a certain fatigue or

inattention threshold on the part of the driver, it

triggers the first level of alert.

The driver is then alerted by the message

"Take care!", accompanied by an audible

signal.

The state of the system stays in the memory

when the ignition is switched off.

Using sensors located in the bumper, this

function warns of the proximity of obstacles

(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering

their field of detection.

The function signals the presence of obstacles

present both within the sensors' detection

zone and in the vehicle path defined by the

orientation of the steering wheel.

165

Driving

The proximity information is given by an

intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which

increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.

When the distance between the vehicle and

the obstacle becomes less than about thirty

centimetres, the audible signal becomes

continuous.

The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)

allows you to identify the side on which the

obstacle is located.

(white: more distant obstacles, orange: close

obstacles, red: very close obstacles).

When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"

symbol is displayed on the screen.

Side parking sensors

Front parking sensors

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the

front parking sensors are triggered when an

obstacle is detected in front and the speed of

the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).

The front parking sensors are interrupted if

the vehicle stops for more than three seconds

in forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer

detected or when the speed of the vehicle

exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Using four additional sensors located on the

sides of the front and rear bumpers, the system

records the position of fixed obstacles during

the manoeuvre and signals them when they are

located by the sides of the vehicle.

Adjusting the audible signal

On versions equipped with

PEUGEOT Connect Radio,

pressing this button opens the

audible signal volume adjustment

window.

Only fixed obstacles are signalled

correctly. Moving obstacles detected

at the beginning of the manoeuvre may

be signalled mistakenly, while moving

obstacles which appear at the sides of

the vehicle and which were not previously

recorded will not be signalled.

Visual assistance

The sound emitted by the speaker (front or

rear) locates the obstacle in relation to the

vehicle – in the vehicle trajectory, in front

or behind.

The objects memorised during the

manoeuvre will no longer be stored after

switching off the ignition.

It supplements the audible assistance, without

taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by

displaying bars on the screen that represent the

distance between the obstacle and the vehicle

166

Driving

A front or rear impact to the vehicle can

distort the settings of the sensors, which is

not always detected by the system: distance

measurements may be incorrect.

The tilting of the vehicle if the boot is

very loaded can affect the distance

measurements.

Deactivation/Activation

The rear parking sensors system will

be deactivated automatically if a trailer

or bicycle carrier is connected to

a towing device installed in line with the

manufacturer's recommendations.

In this case, the outline of a trailer is

displayed at the rear of the image of the

vehicle.

Park Assist

The rear parking sensors also provide

information on the vehicle's surroundings.

This system provides active parking

assistance: it detects a parking space and then

steers in the appropriate direction to park in

this space while the driver controls the driving

direction, engagement of gears, acceleration

and braking.

180° view

Zoom view

To assist the driver in monitoring the

correct manoeuvring operation, the system

automatically triggers the display of Visiopark

1 and the activation of the parking sensors.

This system is a manoeuvring aid that

cannot under any circumstances replace

the vigilance of the driver.

The driver must remain in control of their

vehicle. He or she must always check

the surroundings of the vehicle before

undertaking a manoeuvre and ensure that

the space remains clear during the entire

manoeuvre.

The camera records the vehicle's surroundings

during the manoeuvre in order to create

a view from above the rear of the vehicle in its

near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be

manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.

This view is available with AUTO mode or in the

view selection menu.

The 180° view facilitates reversing out of

a parking bay, making it possible to see the

approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.

This view is not recommended for carrying out

a complete manoeuvre.

The system performs the measurements of

available parking spaces and calculations of

distances to obstacles using ultrasonic sensors

built into the front and rear bumpers of the

vehicle.

Operating limits

Do not use the function in presence of one

of the following modifications:

-

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

a fixed obstacle on the opposite side of

the manoeuvre which would not allow the

vehicle to follow a trajectory required for

parking.

-

When carrying an object extending

beyond the vehicle size (ladder on

the roof bars, bicycle carrier on the

tailgate, etc.).

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.).

-

With a non-approved towball in place.

Regularly check that the sensors and

cameras are clean.

If necessary, clean the camera lenses with

a soft, dry cloth.

If using a high-pressure washer, do not

direct the spray less than 30 cm from the

sensors and cameras.

In bad weather, or during the winter, ensure

that the sensors and cameras are not

covered with mud, ice or snow.

Do not use the function in presence of one

of the following malfunctions:

-

Under-inflation of a tyre.

If one of the bumpers is damaged,

If one of the cameras is faulty.

Driving

The system monitors the pressure in all four

tyres, once the vehicle is moving.

Operating faults

The tyre pressure specifications for your

vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure

label.

For more information on the

Identification markings, refer to the

corresponding section.

Tyre pressures should be checked when

the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for

1 hour or after a journey of less than

6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).

Otherwise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the

pressures shown on the label.

It compares the information given by the

wheel speed sensors with reference values,

The tyre under-inflation detection system

does not replace the need for vigilance on

the part of the driver.

This system still requires you to check

the tyre inflation pressures (including

the spare wheel) every month as well as

before a long journey.

Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs

handling, extends braking distances and

causes early tyre wear, particularly in

adverse conditions (heavy loads, high

speeds, long journeys).

In the event of a fault, have the system checked

by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
