Parking sensors


REAR PARKING SENSORS

The audible system consists of four
proximity sensors, fitted in the rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle which comes within
range: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
However, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle moves close to it.
This system does not take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Stop the assistance

Change to neutral.


Operating fault

If this warning lamp or the service
warning lamp comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by a message in the
screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.


Good practice

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.


Engage reverse gear

The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more frequent
as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
This function will be deactivated automatically
if a trailer is being towed. You are advised to
obtain a towbar recommended by PEUGEOT
and have it installed by a professional.
If anomalies are detected on engaging
reverse gear, the warning lamp comes on,
possibly accompanied by a message in the
screen.

QUICK HELP



Having your vehicle towed


BEING TOWED


The removable towing eye is located in the
tool kit behind the driver's seat (Light van) or
behind the rear bench seat (Combi).


From the front

In the front bumper, unclip the cover on the
right using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Then hook the towbar on the towing eye.
Unlock the steering by turning the the
ignition key one notch and release the
parking brake.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps on both
vehicles.
Move off gently and drive slowly, towing for
a short distance only.
On the towed vehicle, the gear
lever must be put in neutral; failure
to observe this special condition
may result in damage to certain braking
components (brakes, transmission...) and
the absence of braking assistance when the
engine is started.


From the rear

In the rear bumper, unclip the cover at the
bottom using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Then hook the towbar on the towing eye.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps on both
vehicles.
Move off gently and drive slowly, towing for
a short distance only.


General recommendations

Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle
is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off,
there is no longer any power assistance for
braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call
on a professional recovery service:


- vehicle broken down on a motorway or
fast road,

- 4 wheel drive vehicle,

- when it is not possible to put the gearbox
into neutral, unlock the steering, or
release the parking brake,

- towing with only two wheels on the
ground,

- where there is no approved towing bar
available...

Checks


CHECKS


Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter

If this warning lamp comes
on, you must bleed the filter;
otherwise bleed the filter
regularly, every time the engine
oil is changed.
To remove the water, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Operate until all of
the water has flowed out. Then tighten the
bleed screw or the water sensor.
HDi engines use advanced technology. All
work requires specialist knowledge, which
all PEUGEOT dealers have.


Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.


Air filter and passenger compartment filter

A blocked passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the warranty and maintenance record.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary, refer to the "Under the
bonnet" section of chapter 7.


Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the type of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the brake pad wear,
even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.


Brake disc / drum wear

For all information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.


Parking brake

Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.


Oil filter

Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.





The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates the
use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery
with special technology and specification.
The involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
