reverse gear
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear. Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
the lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged; an
audible signal is heard.
Refer to the "technology on board -

reduced by suggesting when to change up.
the gear engagement recommendations
should not be considered to be compulsory.
this because the configuration of the
road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear.
therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.

HILL StArt ASSISt
this system (also called HHC - Hill Holder
Control), linked to the dynamic stability
control system, makes hill starts easier and
is activated in the following conditions:
-
the vehicle must be stationary, engine
running, foot on the brake,
-
the gradient of the road must be steeper
than 5%,
-
uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or
in a gear other than reverse,
-
downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
the Hill Start
Assist system is a driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the brake
pedal, without using the parking brake, you
have approximately 2 seconds to move off
before the vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function
is deactivated automatically, gradually
releasing the braking pressure. During
this phase, the characteristic noise of
mechanical release of the brakes may be
heard, indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.
operating fault
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confirmed by a message
in the screen. Have the system checked by at
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
-
when the clutch pedal is released,
-
when the parking brake is applied,
-
when the engine is switched off,
-
when the engine stalls.

Good practice
Always remove the key from the ignition

AudIBLE rEAr PArKInG SEnSorS
If fitted on your vehicle, the system consists
of four proximity sensors, installed in the
rear bumper.
they detect any obstacle: person, vehicle,
tree, fence, behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
However, objects the size or thickness of
which are detected at the beginning of the
manoeuvre will no longer be detected at the
end of the manoeuvre: blind spots between
and below the sensors.
examples: stake,
roadworks cone or pavement post.
the rear parking sensor system may be
coupled with a reversing camera.operation
engage reverse gear with the gear lever.
the proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal of increasing frequency 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.
Switching off
Come our of reverse gear into neutral.

If your vehicle is fitted with this camera, it is
located at the rear, next to the third brake

the reversing camera may be coupled with
rear parking sensors.Screen
the camera sends the images to a 5 inch
LCD colour screen.
this screen is also
the one used by the touch screen audio-
telematic system.
Activation and deactivation of the system
is done in the settings menu of the touch
screen audio-telematic system.
operation
the camera comes into operation when
reverse gear is engaged and remains active
up to approximately 9 mph (15 km/h). It is
deactivated above 11 mph (18 km/h).
the camera also comes on, with the vehicle
stationary, when the rear doors are opened.
Switching off
When a forward gear is engaged, the last
image remains displayed for approximately
5
seconds then switches of
f.
In the same way, the last image also
remains displayed, with the vehicle
stationary, when the rear doors are closed.
Good practice
With optimum vehicle conditions (position
on the road, loading level) the maximum
area of visibility covered by the camera has
a field depth approximately 3 m long and
5.5
m wide.
the area of visibility may vary depending on
the external weather conditions (brightness,
rain, snow, fog,
...), the load in the vehicle
and the position of the vehicle on the road.
When cleaning the camera and the screen,
avoid using a detergent or a tool which may
scratch the glass.
use a non-abrasive cloth or a small brush.
