PEUGEOT i-Cockpit
Before taking to the road and to make the most of the special ergonomics of the PEUGEOT i- Cockpit, carry out these adjustments in the following order: - height of the head restraint, - backrest angle, - cushion height, - longitudinal position of the seat, - reach and then height of the steering wheel, - the interior and door mirrors.
Once these adjustments have been made, ensure that from your driving position you can see the "head-up" instrument panel clearly, over the reduced diameter steering wheel.
Before moving the seat backwards, ensure that there is nothing that might prevent the full travel of the seat, so as to avoid the risk of of jamming the seat caused by the presence of objects on the floor behind the seat or rear passengers. If the seat jams, stop the movement immediately.

Rear screen demist - defrost
Switching on
Switching off
Press this button to demist /defrost the rear screen and (depending on version) the door mirrors. The indicator lamp associated with the button comes on.
The demisting/defrosting switches off automatically to prevent an excessive consumption of current.
The rear screen demist - defrost can only operate when the engine is running.
Switch off the heating of the rear screen and door mirrors as soon as you judge it possible, as reducing the consumption of electrical current reduces fuel consumption.
It is possible to stop the demisting/defrosting operation before it is switched off automatically by pressing the button again. The indicator lamp associated with the button switches off.

Blind spot sensors
Operation
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the side in question: - immediately, when being overtaken, - after a delay of about one second, when overtaking a vehicle slowly.
This driving assistance system warns the driver of the presence of another vehicle in the blind spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from the driver's field of vision), as soon as this presents a potential danger.
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel. Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers monitor the blind spots.
This system is designed to improve safety when driving and is in no circumstances a substitute for the use of the interior rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility to constantly check the traffic, to asses the distances and relative speeds of other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane. The blind spot sensor system can never replace the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Activation of the system is done in the " Driving assistance " menu of the touch screen.
Press this button to activate the function; the associated indicator lamp comes on.

The alert is given by a warning lamp which comes on in the door mirror on the side in question as soon as a vehicle - car, lorry, bicycle - is detected and the following conditions are fulfilled: - all the vehicles must be moving in the same direction, - the speed of your vehicle is between 7 and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h), - the difference in speed between your vehicle and the other vehicles must be less than 6 mph (10 km/h), - the traffic must be flowing normally, - in the case of an overtaking manoeuvre, if this is prolonged and the vehicle being overtaken remains in the blind spot, - you are driving on a straight or slightly curved road, - your vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a caravan...
No alert will be given in the following situations: - in the presence of stationary objects (parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps, road signs...), - with vehicles moving in the opposite direction, - driving on a sinuous road or a sharp c o r n e r,
- when overtaking (or being overtaken by) a very long vehicle (lorry, coach...) which is at the same time detected at the rear in the blind spot angle and present in the driver's for ward field of vision, - in very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front and behind are confused with a lorry or a stationary object, - when overtaking quickly.

To deactivate the system, press this button again; its indicator lamp goes off as well as the associated indicator in the instrument panel.
In the event of a fault, the warning lamp flashes then goes off.
Operating fault
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towbar approved by P E U G E O T.
The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions (rain, hail...). In particular, driving on a wet sur face or moving from a dry area to a wet area can cause false alerts (for example, the presence of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot angle is interpreted as a vehicle). In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow. Take care not to cover the warning zone in the door mirrors or the detection zones on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels or other objects; they may hamper the correct operation of the system.
The state of the system remains in memory on switching off the ignition.
High pressure jet wash When washing your vehicle, direct the lance at least 30 cm away from the sensors.
