In fog or snow, the sunshine
sensor may detect suffi cient
light. In this case, the lighting
will not come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
coupled with the rain sensor and lo-
cated in the centre of the windscreen
behind the rear view mirror; the as-
sociated functions would no longer
be controlled.


Automatic "guide-me-home" lightingAutomatic illumination of headlamps

When a low level of ambient light is de-
tected by a sunshine sensor, the num-
ber plate lamps, sidelamps and dipped
beam headlamps are switched on auto-
matically, without any action on the part of
the driver. They can also come on if rain is
detected, at the same time as automatic
operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a
suffi cient level or after the windscreen
wipers are switched off, the lamps are
switched off automatically.

Activation


)
Turn the ring to the "AUTO"
posi-
tion. The activation of the function
is accompanied by the display of a
message in the screen.


Deactivation


)
Turn the ring to another position.
Deactivation of the function is accom-
panied by the display of a message in
the screen.

Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of
the sunshine sensor, the lighting
comes on, this warning lamp is
displayed in the instrument panel
and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal.

Special position of the
windscreen wipersAutomatic 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 wip-
er 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.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving.
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 en-
sure that the optimum dynamic perfor-
mance 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-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electromagnetic
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.

Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of malfunction
(speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).

The spare wheel is not fi tted with a sensor.

This warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the multifunction screen,
accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel concerned.


)
Check the tyre pressures as soon
as possible.
This check must be carried out when
the tyres are cold.
Under-infl ated tyre The STOP
warning lamp
comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message in the multifunc-
tion screen 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.

)
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very defl ated tyre), and
have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.

Puncture

The tyre under-infl ation detec-
tion system is an aid to driving
which does not replace the
need for the driver to be vigilant or to
drive responsibly.


Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears in the multifunc-
tion 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 quali-
fi ed workshop to replace the faulty
sensor(s).

This message is also dis-
played when one of the wheels
is away from the vehicle (being
repaired) or when one or more wheels
without a sensor are fi tted.

Example with a value of 2 seconds:


Operating limits

The system switches to standby auto-
matically if the sensor does not detect
the vehicle in front correctly (very dif-
fi cult weather conditions, sensor out of
adjustment, ...). A message is displayed
in the multifunction screen.
The vehicle being followed may not be
detected in certain conditions such as,
for example:


- when turning,

- when changing lane,

- when the vehicle in front is either
too far ahead (maximum range of
the sensor: 100 m) or stationary (in
a traffi c jam, ...),
When the vehicle being followed is
much too near (time between the two
vehicles less than 0.5 seconds), the dis-
play remains fi xed at 0.5 seconds.

Programming the alert value



)
Select the alert value required using
button 2
, in steps of 0.1 second:


- up to increase: "+",

- down to decrease: "-".

This system is not an anti-colli-
sion radar and it does not act of the
movement of your vehicle. It pro-
vides information but cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver.


)
Press button 1
, the indicator lamp
comes on.
The system is activated but will only
operate from 45 mph (70 km/h).
The alert value can be programmed to
between 0.9 second and 2.5 seconds.
The visual alert can be deactivated by
programming a value of 0 second. When the time (in seconds) between
your vehicle and the vehicle in front is
less than the programmed time (alert
value), a visual alert fl ashes.


A safety time of 2 seconds is
recommended in normal driv-
ing conditions (correct traction
and speed) to avoid a collision
in the event of emergency
braking.

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT
AND/OR REAR PARKING
SENSORS
System consisting of four proximity sen-
sors, installed in the front and/or rear
bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, barrier...) located behind the vehi-
cle, however, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below
the bumper. The parking sensors are switched on
:


- by engaging reverse gear,

- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in
forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and display of the vehicle in the mul-
tifunction screen.
An object, such as a stake, a
roadworks cone or any other
similar object may be detected
at the start of the manoeuvre but may
no longer be detected when the ve-
hicle moves nearer to it. The proximity information is indicated by:


- an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle,

- a graphic in the multifunction screen,
with blocks which move closer to the
vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to the
emission of the audible signal by the
speakers; front or rear and right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approxi-
mately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous and/or the
"Danger" symbol appears, depending
on the multifunction screen version.

The parking sensor system
cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part
of the driver. The parking sensors are switched off
:


- when you exit reverse gear,

- when the speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h) in forward gear,

- when the vehicle has been station-
ary for more than three seconds in
forward gear.
Deactivation
Operating fault
The system will be deacti-
vated automatically when a
trailer is being towed or when
a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle fi t-
ted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).

Reactivation


)
Press button A
again, the warning
lamp switches off, the system is re-
activated.


)
Press button A
, the warning lamp
comes on, the system is fully deacti-
vated. In bad weather or in winter, en-
sure 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.
When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h), certain sources of noise
(motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic
drills, ...) may trigger the parking sen-
sor audible signals.
If an operating fault occurs,
this warning lamp is displayed
in the instrument panel and/
or a message appears in
the multifunction screen, ac-
companied by an audible signal (short
beep), when reverse gear is engaged.

PARKING SPACE SENSORS

After measuring the parking space avail-
able between two vehicles or obstacles,
this system gives you information on:


- the possibility of fi tting into a free
space, depending on the dimen-
sions of your vehicle and the dis-
tances needed for manoeuvring,

- the level of diffi culty of the manoeu-
vre to be performed.
The system does not measure spaces
which are clearly much smaller or larger
than the size of the vehicle.
Displays in the instrument panel

The parking space sensor
function warning lamp can
have three different states:


- off:
the function is not selected,

- on fi xed:
the function is selected
but the conditions for measurement
are not yet met (direction indicator
not operating, speed too high) or the
measurement phase has ended,

- fl ashing:
measurement is in prog-
ress or the message is being dis-
played. You can activate the "parking space
sensor" function by pressing button A.

The fi xed illumination of the warning
lamp indicates that the function is se-
lected.

171
Operation
You have identifi ed a parking space:


)
Press button A
to activate the func-
tion.

)
Activate the direction indicator on
the side where the space is to be
measured.

)
During the measuring, go forward
the length of the space, at a speed
less than 12 mph (approximately
20 km/h), to prepare for your ma-
noeuvre.
The system then measures the size
of the space.

)
The system informs you of the level
of diffi culty of the manoeuvre via a
message in the multifunction screen
accompanied by an audible signal.
The function displays the following
types of message:

Parking possible


Parking diffi cult


Parking not advised

The function deactivates itself automati-
cally:


- when you engage reverse gear,

- when you switch off the ignition,

- fi ve minutes after activation of the
function or after the last measure-
ment operation,

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



- The function remains avail-
able after each measure-
ment and so can measure
a number of places succes-
sively.

- In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
by dirt, or by ice or snow.

- The parking space sensor func-
tion deactivates the front parking
sensors during the space mea-
suring phase when you are in for-
ward gear.
If there is a malfunction, have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

If the lateral distance between
your vehicle and the parking
space is too great, the system
may not operate.
