AUTOMATIC RAIN SENSITIVE WINDSCREEN
WIPERS
The windscreen wipers operate automatically, 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.
Switching off
This is controlled manually by the driver by moving the stalk upwards
then returning it to position "0"
.
It is accompanied by a message in the screen.
Operating fault
If an automatic wiping malfunction occurs, the wipers will operate in
intermittent mode.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. The automatic rain sensitive wipers must be reactivated if the
ignition has been off for more than one minute, by pushing the
stalk downwards.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with the sunshine sensor
and located in the centre of the windscreen behind the rear view
mirror.

SAFETY
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically and continuously checks the pressure of
the tyres while driving.
The tyre under-infl ation detection system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive
responsibly. Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a warning in the event of a problem
(speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
Under-inflated tyre
This warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
accompanied by an audible signal and an alert message
identifying the wheel concerned.
)
Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.
HORN
Audible warning to alert other road users to an imminent danger.
)
Press one of the spokes of the steering wheel.
EMERGENCY OR ASSISTA NCE
CALL
This system allows you to make an emergency or assistance call to the
emergency services or to the dedicated PEUGEOT service.
For more information on the use of this function, refer to the "Audio
equipment and telematics" section.

All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fi tted with this
system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected
by your vehicle (example: fi tting of snow tyres), you must have
the system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
This system does not avoid the need to have the tyre pressures
checked regularly (refer to the "Identifi cation markings" section)
to ensure that the optimum dynamic performance 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 also check the pressure of the spare wheel if your
vehicle has one.
The tyre under-infl ation detection system may experience
temporary interference due to electro-magnetic signals on a
frequency close to that used by the system.
Puncture
The STOP
warning lamp comes on and this warning lamp is
displayed in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible
signal and an alert message identifying the wheel concerned.
)
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding any sudden movement
of the steering wheel and the brakes.
)
Repair or change the damaged wheel (punctured or very defl ated
tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
accompanied by an alert message to identify the wheel or wheels
which are not detected or to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to replace the
faulty sensor(s).
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 fi tted.
If your vehicle has a spare wheel, this does not have a sensor.

This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks cone, etc.) detected
initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre due
to the presence of blind spots.
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.
REAR PARKING SENSORS
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.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the
frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches 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 approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

Deactivation / Activation of the front and rear parking sensors
Visual assistance
FRONT PARKING SENSORS
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 interrupted 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).
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 displayed in the
screen.
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.
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the
obstacle is in front or behind.

Deactivation / Activation of the rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated or activated via the vehicle
confi guration menu.
The status of the function is stored when the ignition is switched off.
For more information on access to the parking sensors menu,
refer to the section covering the confi guration of vehicle systems.
OPERATING FAULT
In the event of a malfunction of the system, when reverse gear
is engaged this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not
covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.)
may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
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).
