Driving





Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space.
It controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit froma parking space, the system provides visual and audible information to the driver in order to make the manoeuvre safe. It may be necessary to move
forwards and backwards more than once.

For entry into a parking space (parallel
parking) the system does not detect spaces which are clearly much smaller or larger than the size of the vehicle.
This "parking assistance" systemis activated automatically duringmanoeuvres; it is therefore possiblethat a symbol comes on in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal,without affecting the manoeuvre.
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents a change to STOP mode of Stop & Star t. In STOP mode, activationof Park Assist restarts the engine.



The Park Assist system cannot in anycircumstances replace the care and responsibility of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their vehicle ensuring that the space remains clear during the manoeuvre. In some circumstances, the sensors may not detect small obstacles located in their blind spots.
During a manoeuvre the steering wheel
turns quickly: do not hold the steering wheel, do not place your hand between the spokes of the steering wheel andtake care with loose and bulky clothing,scarves, handbags... There is a risk of injury.

The s
ystem provides assistance in entering and exiting a parking space when parallel parking.
The driver can take control at any time by gripping the steering wheel.

Driving
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensorslocated in the bumper.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 function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility 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 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 approximatelythirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.



Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal bydisplaying 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.

Driving
that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear isengaged, an audible signal (long beep)indicates that the sensors may be dirty. Cer tain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parking
sensor system. In th
e event of a malfunction of
t
he system, when reverse gear
is engaged this warning lamp is
displa
yed 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 qualified
workshop.

Operating fault
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being towedor a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).




Deactivation / Activation of the
rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this switch. The indicator lamp in the switch comes on.
Pressing this switch again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the switch
goes off.

Practical information
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)Distribute the load in the trailer so that theheaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
)Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.

Cooling

To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electricall
y controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.)
To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
tem
perature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
)If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.



Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.

Tyres
)Check the tyre pressures of the towingvehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.



Lighting
)Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.


The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
R
efer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
