Driving

System which measures the parking space
available between two vehicles or obstacles.
It measures the size of the space and gives you
information on:


- the possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances needed for
manoeuvring,

- the level of difficulty of the parking
manoeuvre.
The system does not measure spaces which
are clearly much smaller or larger than the size
of the vehicle. The warning lamp in the control A

can have two different states:
Displays



- on fixed:
the system is switched on by a
press on control A
.

- off:
the system is not switched on.

Operation

When you have identified a parking space:


)
Engage a gear on a manual gearbox or put
the gear lever in position A
(electronic gear
control gearbox) or in position D
(automatic
gearbox).

)
Press button A
to star t the system.

)
Operate the direction indicator on the
side where the space is to be measured;
a message is displayed and the warning
lamp flashes to confirm that measurement
is in progress.

)
During measurement, go for ward the
length of the space, at a speed less than
12 mph (20 km/h), to prepare for your
manoeuvre.

)
Once the measurement has been
completed, the system informs you of
the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre
by a message in the multifunction screen
accompanied by an audible signal.

The system displays one of the following messages:


Parking possible


Parking difficult


Parking not advised


If the lateral distance between your
vehicle and the parking space is too
great, the system may not be able to
measure the space.

The system remains available after
each measurement and can therefore
measure several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are free of dir t, ice or snow.
The parking space sensor system
deactivates the front parking sensors
when measuring for wards.
If there is a fault, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The system switches itself off automatically:


- when you engage reverse gear,

- when you switch off the ignition,

- if measuring is not requested,

- within five minutes of switching on the
system,

- if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold
of 45 mph (70 km/h) for one minute.

Safety








Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.

Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph
(20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.
All repairs and changing of tyres on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres),
you must have the system reinitialised
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

This message is also displayed when
one of the wheels is away from the
vehicle (being repaired) or when one or
more wheels without a sensor are fitted.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.


This system does not avoid the need
to have the tyre pressures checked
regularly (refer to "Identification
markings") to ensure that the optimum
dynamic per formance of the vehicle
is maintained and prevent premature
wear of the tyres, particularly in arduous
driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remember to
check the pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system may experience temporary
inter ference due to electromagnetic
signals on a frequency close to that
used by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to
identify the wheel concerned.

Under-infl ated tyre

This warning lamp and
the STOP
warning lamp
come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the instrument
panel screen identifying the wheel concerned.


)
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and the
brakes.

)
Change the damaged wheel (punctured
or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.



Puncture

A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel or wheels which are not
detected or to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).


Sensor(s) not detected or faulty



)
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres
are cold.
