Special position of the
windscreen wipers
Automatic rain sensitive
windscreen wipers
The windscreen wipers operate automati-
cally, without any action on the part of the
driver, if rain is detected (sensor behind
the rear view mirror), adapting their speed
to the intensity of the rainfall.
Activation
This is controlled manually by the driver
by pushing the stalk downwards to the
"AUTO"
position.
It is accompanied by a message in the
screen. This position permits release of the
windscreen wiper blades.
It is used for cleaning or replacement
of the blades. It can also be useful, in
winter, to detach the blades from the
windscreen.
Do not cover the rain sensor,
linked with the sunshine sen-
sor and located in the centre
of the windscreen behind the rear
view mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain sensi-
tive wipers when using an automatic
car wash.
In winter, to avoid damaging the wiper
blades, it is advisable to wait until the
windscreen is completely clear of ice
before activating the automatic rain
sensitive wipers.
The automatic rain sensitive
wipers must be reactivated if
the ignition has been off for
more than one minute, by pushing
the stalk downwards.
Switching off
This is controlled manually by the driver
by moving the stalk upwards then re-
turning it to position "0"
.
It is accompanied by a message in the
screen.
Operating fault
If an automatic wiping malfunction oc-
curs, the wipers will operate in intermit-
tent mode.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
To maintain the effectiveness
of the "fl at-blade" type of wiper
blades, it is advisable to:
- handle them with care,
- clean them regularly using soapy
water,
- avoid using them to retain card-
board on the windscreen,
- replace them at the fi rst signs of
wear.
)
Any action on the wiper stalk in the
minute after switching off the igni-
tion places the blades vertically on
the screen.
)
To park the blades again, switch on
the ignition and operate the wiper
stalk.

PARKING SENSORS
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the fi eld of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, road-
works cone, etc.) detected initially will
no longer be detected at the end of the
manoeuvre due to the presence of blind
spots.
This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place
of the vigilance and responsi-
bility of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging
reverse gear. This is accompanied by
an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you
exit reverse gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency
of which increases as the vehicle ap-
proaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right
or left) indicates the side on which the
obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle becomes less than ap-
proximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal
by displaying bars in the multifunction
screen which move progressively nearer
to the vehicle. When the obstacle is near,
the "Danger" symbol is also displayed in
the screen.

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 inter-
rupted if the vehicle stops for more than
three seconds in forward gear, if no
further obstacles are detected or when
the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph
(10 km/h).
Front parking sensors
Deactivation/Activation of the front
and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing
this button. The indicator lamp in the
button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates
the function. The indicator lamp in the
button goes off.
Operating fault
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being
towed or a bicycle carrier is fi tted
(vehicle fi tted with a towbar or bicycle
carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible signal
(long beep) indicates that the sensors may
be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sound
sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals
of the parking sensor system.
In the event of a malfunction
of the system, when reverse
gear is engaged this warning
lamp is displayed in the instru-
ment panel and/or a message
appears in the screen, accompanied by
an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is in front or behind.
