VISUAL AND AUDIBLE REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot
detect obstacles located just below
the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a
roadworks cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre, but
may no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it.
Note: this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle
c a r r i e r i s i t t e d ( v e h i c l e i t t e d w i t h
towing attachment or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow. When reverse
gear is engaged, an audible signal
(long bleep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty. The proximity information is given
by:
- an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a graphic on the multifunction display, with blocks which become
progressively closer to the vehicle.
Depending on the multifunction
display, the audible signal is
transmitted by a buzzer or by the rear
speakers which transmit:
- on the right if an obstacle is detected on the right,
- on the left if an obstacle is detected on the left,
- on the right and on the left if an obstacle is detected in the centre.
When the distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle
is less than approximately thirty
centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous and the
"Danger" symbol appears depending
on the multifunction display.
Change to neutral, the system is
again inactive.
If there is an operating
fault, when reverse gear is
engaged, the service warning
light comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal (short bleep)
and a message on the multifunction
display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation/Deactivation
Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and displaying of the vehicle,
depending on the multifunction
display. The system can be activated
or deactivated from the
multifunction display
c o n i g u r a t i o n m e n u .
The activation and deacti-
vation of the system are memorised
when the engine is switched off.

A = maximum
N e v e r i l l p a s t t h i s m a r k .
B = minimum
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.

In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.

Diesel additive level (Diesel
w i t h p a r t i c l e e m i s s i o n f i l t e r )
If the service warning light comes on,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, this indicates a low
diesel additive level.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
Brake fluid level
* According to engine.
Oil level
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.
The level should always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark.
P o w e r s t e e r i n g r e s e r v o i r
Remove the style trim * (see §
"Changing a bulb - Front lights").
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT.
Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).
Check the level with the ve-
hicle level, engine cold, using the oil
level gauge on the instrument panel
or the dipstick. Replacement must be car-
ried out according to the
manufacturer’s servicing
schedule.
