PARKING ASSISTANCE
If fi tted on your vehicle, the system is audible and/or visual and consists of four proximity sensors, located in the front and/or rear bumper. The sensors detect any obstacle which enters the fi eld: person, vehicle, tree, gate, located in front of or behind the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
Objects the size or thickness of which is detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre, may no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre: due to blind spots between and below the sensors. Examples: stake, roadworks cone, kerbstone.
This system does not take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Switching the system on
The system is activated as soon as:
- reverse gear is engaged,
- the speed falls below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible signal and displaying of the vehicle, depending on the display.
The proximity information is given by:
- an audible signal, which becomes more rapid as the vehicle approaches the obstacle,
- a graphic on the display, with blocks which become progressively closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to the emission of the audible signal from the speakers, front or rear and right or left.
Switching the system off
Press the button again to re-activate the system. The indicator light on the button switches off.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, frost or snow.
In this case (e.g. sensors dirty), when reverse gear is engaged, the indicator light fl ashes, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the display.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Deactivation Press the button on the fascia to deactivate the system (to avoid waking a child...). The indicator light on the button comes on.
The system returns to the inactive status:
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed increases to above 6 mph (10 km/h),
- at the end of the manoeuvre, when the vehicle becomes stationary (front parking assistance only).
Re-activation
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous and the "Danger" symbol appears depending on the display.
This function will be deactivated automatically when the vehicle is towing a trailer or when a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle fi tted with towing attachment or bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT ).
