Get Driving -> Parking sensors Guide for Peugeot Rifter 4 Door 2003-2017

Driving

After three first level alerts, the system triggers

a new alert with the message "Take a break!",

accompanied by a more pronounced audible

signal.

Clean the windscreen regularly,

This function is a manoeuvring aid which

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.

cannot, in any circumstances, replace the

need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

The driver must remain attentive and stay

in control of their vehicle.

They must always check the vehicle's

surroundings before undertaking

a manoeuvre.

In certain driving conditions (poor road

surface or strong winds), the system may

give alerts independent of the driver's

level of vigilance.

During the entire manoeuvre, the driver

must ensure that the space remains clear.

The following situations may interfere with

the operation of the system or prevent it

from working:

Rear parking sensors

Parking sensors

The system is switched on by engaging reverse

gear.

This is confirmed by an audible signal.

The system is switched off when you come out

of reverse gear.

poor visibility (inadequate lighting of

the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain,

dense fog, etc.),

dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming

vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp

road, leaving a tunnel, alternating

shade and light, etc.),

windscreen area located in front of the

camera dirty, misted up, frost-covered,

snow-covered, damaged or covered by

a sticker,

lane markings absent, worn, hidden

(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,

etc.),

Audible assistance

close to the vehicle ahead (lane

markings not detected),

roads that are narrow, winding, etc.

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.

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.

Without audio system

The sensors may be affected by poor

weather conditions (heavy rain, thick fog,

snowfall, etc.).

The parking sensors are deactivated while the

Park Assist system is measuring a space.

For more information on the Park Assist, refer

to the corresponding section.

F To deactivate or activate the system, press

this button.

The indicator lamp is illuminated when the

system is deactivated.

Maintenance

recommendations

With audio system or touch screen

Operating limits

In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the

sensors are not covered with mud, ice or

snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an

audible signal (long beep) indicates that

the sensors may be dirty.

Certain obstacles located in the sensors'

blind spots may not be detected or no

longer be detected during the manoeuvre.

Sounds such as those emitted by noisy

vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,

pneumatic drills, etc.) may interfere with the

vehicle's sensors.

The deactivation or activation

is carried out via the vehicle

configuration menu.

The state of the function stays in the memory

when the ignition is switched off.

Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound

waves: pedestrians may not be detected.

Accumulated snow or dead leaves on the

road surface can interfere with the vehicle's

sensors.

High pressure jet wash

When washing your vehicle, keep the

lance at least 30 cm away from the

sensors.
