Driving -> Park Assist for Your Peugeot Rifter 4 Door 2003-2017

Driving  
The blue lines 1 represent the width of your  
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their  
direction changes depending on the position of  
the steering wheel.  
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30 cm  
from the bumper; the two blue lines 3 and  
4 represent 1 m and 2 m, respectively.  
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the  
view selection menu.  
It consists of 3 areas: left A, centre B and  
right C.  
This view is available only from the view  
selection menu.  
Obstacles may appear further away than  
they actually are in reality.  
It is important to check the sides of the  
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the  
mirrors.  
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.

Parking space search  
At any time, up to starting the entry  
manoeuvre or leaving the parking space,  
pressing the arrow located in the top  
left-hand corner of the display page  
deactivates the function.  
F You should drive at a distance of between  
0.50 m and 1.50 m from the row of parked  
vehicles, without ever exceeding 19 mph  
(30 km/h), until the system finds an available  
space.  
The parking space search stops over this limit.  
The function automatically deactivates once  
the vehicle speed exceeds 31 mph (50 km/h).  
Select type of manoeuvre  
The system assists with the following  
manoeuvres:  
A. Parking when entering a "parallel" parking  
space.  
For "parallel" parking, the space must at  
a minimum be equal to the length of your  
vehicle plus 0.60 m.  
For "bay" parking, the width of the space  
must be equal to the width of your vehicle  
plus 0.70 m.  
B. Leaving a "parallel" parking space.  
C. Parking when entering a "bay" parking  
space.  
Operation  
F When approaching a parking area, reduce  
the speed of your vehicle to 19 mph  
(30 km/h) or less.

Driving  
-
If the boot is heavily loaded, the tilt of the  
vehicle towards the rear may interfere with  
the distance measurements.  
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  
was 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.  
-
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.  
With snow chains fitted.  
When driving on a small-diameter or  
"space-saver" type spare wheel.  
When the wheels fitted are a different  
size from the original ones.  
After modifying one or both bumpers  
(added protection, etc.).  
If the sensors have been repainted  
outside the PEUGEOT dealer network.  
With sensors not approved for your  
vehicle.  
-
-

-
-
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.).  
Do not use the function under the  
following exterior conditions:  
-
Alongside a soft shoulder (ditch, etc.)  
or quay or on a cliff edge.  
When the road surface is slippery (ice,  
etc.)  
-
Certain obstacles located in the sensors'  
blind spots may not be detected or no  
longer be detected during the manoeuvre.  
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound  
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.  
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can  
upset the sensor settings which is not  
always detected by the system: distance  
measurements may be falsified.
