FRONT AND/OR REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE 
 
If fi tted on your vehicle, the system is 
audible and/or visual and consists of 
four proximity sensors, located in the 
front and/or rear bumper. The sensors 
detect any obstacle which enters 
the fi eld: person, vehicle, tree, gate, 
located in front of or behind the vehicle 
during the manoeuvre. 
  Objects the size or thickness of which 
is detected at the beginning of the 
manoeuvre, may no longer be detected 
at the end of the manoeuvre: due to 
blind spots between and below the 
sensors. Examples: stake, roadworks 
cone, kerbstone. 
  This system does not take the place of 
the vigilance and responsibility of the 
driver. 
   
Switching the system on 
 
The system is activated as soon as: 
   
 
-   reverse gear is engaged, 
   
-   the speed falls below 6 mph 
(10 km/h) in forward gear.  
  This is accompanied by an audible 
signal and displaying of the vehicle, 
depending on the display. 
  The proximity information is given by: 
   
 
-   an audible signal, which becomes 
more rapid as the vehicle 
approaches the obstacle, 
   
-   a graphic on the display, with 
blocks which become progressively 
closer to the vehicle.  
  The obstacle is located in relation to 
the emission of the audible signal from 
the speakers, front or rear and right or 
left. 
   
Switching the system off 
 
 
Press the button again to re-activate 
the system. The indicator light on the 
button switches off. 
  In bad or wintry weather, ensure 
that the sensors are not covered 
with mud, frost or snow. 
  In this case (e.g. sensors dirty), when 
reverse gear is engaged, the indicator 
light fl ashes, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message on the 
display. 
  Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.  
 
 
Deactivation  
Press the button on the fascia 
to deactivate the system (to 
avoid waking a child...). The 
indicator light on the button 
comes on.    The system returns to the inactive 
status: 
   
 
-   when you exit reverse gear, 
   
-   when the speed increases to above 
6 mph (10 km/h), 
   
-   at the end of the manoeuvre, when 
the vehicle becomes stationary 
(front parking assistance only).  
 
 
RE-ACTIVATION 
 
When the distance between the vehicle 
and the obstacle is less than approximately 
thirty centimetres, the audible signal 
becomes continuous and the "Danger" 
symbol appears depending on the display.  
 
This function will be deactivated 
automatically when the vehicle is 
towing a trailer or when a bicycle 
carrier is fi tted (vehicle fi tted with 
towing attachment or bicycle carrier 
recommended by PEUGEOT).

  When the ignition is on, the ASR and 
ESP systems are always active.  
 
 
Disarming the ASR/ESP 
systems 
  In certain conditions (vehicle stuck in 
mud or snow, or on loose ground...), it 
could prove useful to disarm the ASR 
and ESP systems to make the wheels 
spin and regain grip.

  Press the switch, situated under 
the steering wheel on the left of the 
fascia.  
  The indicator light comes on 
accompanied by a message: 
the ESP and ASR systems 
no longer act on the engine 
operation, but continue to act 
on the brakes.    
Operating check 
  The ASR/ESP systems offer 
increased safety during normal 
driving, but should not incite the 
driver to take risks or to drive at high 
speed. 
  The operation of these systems is 
ensured if the recommendations 
of the manufacturer regarding 
the wheels (tyres and rims), the 
braking components, the electronic 
components and the fi tting and repair 
procedures within the PEUGEOT 
network are observed. 
  After an impact, have these systems 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.  
     
They engage again:

Operation of the ASR and 
ESP systems 
  The warning light fl ashes if 
the ASR or ESP is activated.  
     
These systems are linked and 
complement the ABS. 
  The ASR system optimises drive to 
prevent the wheels skidding, by acting 
on the brakes of the drive wheels 
and on the engine. It also allows the 
directional stability of the vehicle to be 
improved on acceleration. 
  If there is a variation between the 
trajectory followed by the vehicle and 
that required by the driver, the ESP 
system automatically acts on the 
engine and the brake of one or more 
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back 
on course, within the limits of the laws 
of physics.   When a malfunction of the 
systems occurs, the indicator 
light comes on, accompanied 
by an audible signal and a 
message on the display. 
  Consult a PEUGEOT dealer to have 
the system checked.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
 
Sensors check the tyre pressure during 
driving, and trigger a warning in the 
event of a malfunction (speed greater 
than approx.15 mph [25 km/h]) or 
puncture. 
  An outline representing one or more 
wheels fl ashing indicates the location 
of the wheel or wheels concerned. 
   
Flat tyre 
 
The SERVICE warning light 
comes on, accompanied 
by the message  "Tyre(s) 
defl ated" 
, an outline on the display, 
and an audible signal. 
  Check the tyre pressure as soon as 
possible.    If the damaged tyre is temporarily 
stored in the boot, it will again emit 
this message to remind you of the 
necessity of having it repaired. This will 
prevent another warning of the same 
type being displayed.  
 
 
Sensor(s) not detected 
 
The SERVICE warning light 
comes on, accompanied 
by the message  "X tyre 
pressure sensor(s) missing" 
, an 
outline on the display and an audible 
signal. 
  Under-infl ation detection is absent 
from one (or several) tyre(s). Consult a 
PEUGEOT dealer to replace the faulty 
sensor(s).   This message is also displayed 
when one of the tyres is away 
from the vehicle (being repaired) 
or when a wheel without a sensor is 
fi tted. 
  All repairs and changing of 
tyres on a wheel fi tted with this 
system must be carried out by a 
PEUGEOT dealer. 
   
The tyre under-infl ation detection 
system is a driving aid which does 
not take the place of the vigilance or 
the responsibility of the driver. 
 
  This system does not remove the 
need to have the tyre pressure 
checked regularly (including the spare 
wheel), to ensure that the dynamic 
performance of the vehicle remains at 
its best and to avoid premature wear 
of the tyres, in particular in the case 
of arduous driving (heavy load, high 
speed). 
  The system may temporarily be 
disturbed by radio broadcasts on a 
frequency close to it.  
 
 
Puncture 
 
The STOP warning light 
comes on, accompanied 
by the message 
  "Punctured tyre(s)" 
, an outline on the 
display and an audible signal. 
  Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden 
movement of the steering wheel and 
the brakes. 
  Change the damaged (punctured or 
very defl ated) tyre, and have the tyre 
pressure checked as soon as possible. 
  Refer to the "Changing a wheel"
