DRIVING
Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode dis-
play fl ashes, the vehicle switches auto-
matically to front "2WD" transmission
mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A .
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is dis-
played on the instrument panel, let the
transmission cool down then wait for
the display to clear before setting off
again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed
alternately and if "MAINTENANCE
REQUIRED" is displayed on the instru-
ment panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without
delay. Do not subject the vehicle to ex-
cessive conditions while driving.
As the engine torque is applied
to all four wheels, the condition
of the tyres has a considerable
impact on the performance of
the vehicle.
Ensure that all four tyres are in
good condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in sandy
or muddy areas or in other areas
in which the wheels could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the
transmission components under
pressure and could cause a se-
rious malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through
deep water.

Have your vehicle towed on a
fl atbed.
The vehicle must not be towed
with the front or rear wheels on
the ground even if it is in front
"2WD" (2 wheel drive) mode.

AUDIBLE REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE
System consisting of proximity sensors,
installed in the rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, ...) located behind the vehi-
cle, but it cannot detect obstacles locat-
ed immediately below the bumper. Activation
The parking assistance is activated by
engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated
by an audible signal which becomes
more frequent as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle.
When a certain distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is
reached, the audible signal becomes
continuous:
An object such as a stake, a road
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre but
may no longer be detected when
the vehicle moves closer to it.
Location of the sensors
The vehicle is fi tted with four sensors:
- two side sensors
A
- two central sensors B . Vehicle only
Vehicle fi tted with a towbar
Detection zones
The detection zones differ according to
the vehicle’s equipment, with or without
towbar.
Therefore, you can select the towbar
mode, the fi tting zone
C is excluded
from the detection zones.
The parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the need for
vigilance and responsibility on
the part of the driver.

Sensors

Distance between
vehicle and
obstacle less than:
Side A Approximately 25 cm
Central B
without towbar Approximately 40 cm

Brake pads Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn. Brake disc wear status
For any information relating to
checking of the brake disc wear
status, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Handbrake If the handbrake travel is too
long or if you notice a loss
of effectiveness of this sys-
tem, the handbrake must be
adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specifi cations. In order to optimise the opera-
tion of units as important as
the braking system, PEUGEOT
selects and offers very specifi c
products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compart-
ment is strictly prohibited.
