Parking sensors
Engage reverse
gear
An audible signal confirms the activation of the
system by engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid 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.
Display in the screen
This completes the audible signal by the
display of bars in the multifunction screen,
which become closer and closer as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle. When very close to
the obstacle, the "Danger" symbol is displayed
in the screen.
The audible (front and rear) and visual (rear)
parking sensor system consists of proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper.
The sensors detect any obstacle which
enters its field of operation: person, vehicle,
tree, fence, behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the beginning of the
manoeuvre will no longer be detected at the
end of the manoeuvre due to the blind spots
between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or pavement
post.

Setting
Stopping the assistance
Switching off the assistance
Press; the indicator lamp comes on.
The state of the system is stored when the
vehicle is switched off.
Resuming assistance
Press again; the indicator lamp goes off.
AdviceChange to neutral.In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow.
The system will be deactivated automatically
if a trailer is being towed or if a bicycle carrier
is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle
carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).If this warning lamp comes on
when reverse gear is engaged,
accompanied by a message and/
or an audible signal, a fault has been detected.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified
workshop. The parking sensor system cannot in
any circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.

Reversing camera
The reversing camera function may be
completed with parking sensors.The reversing camera cannot in any
circumstances be a substitute for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The superimposed representation of guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre.
They are represented by lines marked "on
the ground" and do not allow the position of
the vehicle to be determined relative to tall
obstacles (for example: other vehicles, ...).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not
direct the lance within 30 cm of the
camera lens.
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed in the touch screen.
The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the difference corresponds to
the width of your vehicle without the mirrors).
The red lines represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines represent distances of about
1 and 2 metres beyond the edge of your
vehicle's rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves represent the
maximum turning circle. Opening the tailgate causes the display
to disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.

Park Assist
For entry into a parking space (parallel
parking) the system does not detect
spaces which are clearly much smaller
or larger than the size of the vehicle.
This "parking assistance" system
is activated automatically during
manoeuvres; it is therefore possible
that a symbol comes on in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal,
without affecting the manoeuvre.The selection of the type of manoeuvre
(entering or exiting a parallel parking
space) prevents a change to STOP
mode of Stop & Start.
In STOP mode, this selection restarts
the engine.
The Park Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of
their vehicle ensuring that the space
remains clear during the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors
may not detect small obstacles located
in their blind spots. During a manoeuvre the steering wheel
turns quickly: do not hold the steering
wheel, do not place your hand between
the spokes of the steering wheel and
take care with loose and bulky clothing,
scarves, handbags... There is a risk of
injury.
The driver can take back control of the steering
at any time.
Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres,
winter tyres, ...) can inter fere with
the correct operation of the parking
assistance system. The system provides assistance in entering and
exiting a parking space when parallel parking.
The system detects a parking space and then
provides assistance with the parallel parking
manoeuvres.
It controls the steering and provides visual and
audible information to the driver.
The driver manages the accelerator, brakes,
gears and the clutch in the case of a manual
gearbox.

Entering a parallel parking space
F When you have identified a free space,
reduce the speed of the vehicle to a
maximum of 12 mph (20 km/h).
To activate the Park Assist system:
F Select the enter parking space manoeuvre.
The indicator lamp in the control comes on. F
Operate the direction indicator on the

F Move for wards alongside the parking
space at a speed below 12 mph (20 km/h)
to measure it, keeping at a distance of
between 0.5 and 1.5 metres from the row of
parked vehicles.
Once measurement is complete, if the space is
large enough a message indicates that parking
is possible. F
Move your vehicle for ward until a new
message is displayed.
F Select reverse and release the steering
wheel.
A message is displayed in the screen. F Press this control to activate the system.

In bad weather and in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered by
road dirt, ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the system is deactivated during a
manoeuvre, the drive should reactivate
it manually to repeat the measurement. If the lateral distance between your vehicle
and the space is too great, the system may
not be able to measure the space.
Anything projecting beyond the envelope
of the vehicle (long or wide load) is not
taken into account by the Park Assist
system during a manoeuvre.
Deactivation
A message is displayed in the screen.
The driver then takes back control of the
vehicle's steering.
The system is deactivated automatically:
-
on switching off the ignition,
- if the engine stalls,
- if no manoeuvre is started within 5 minutes
of selection of the type of manoeuvre,
- after a prolonged stop of the vehicle during
a manoeuvre,
- if the road wheel anti-spin regulation (ASR)
is triggered,
- if the speed of the vehicle exceeds the
stated limit,
- when the driver interrupts movement of the
steering wheel,
- if the driver presses the Park Assist
control,
- if correct positioning of the vehicle is not
possible (too many manoeuvres needed to
insert or extract the vehicle),
- if the driver's door is open,
- if one of the front wheels encounters an
obstacle.
Switching off
The system is switched off automatically:
- when towing a trailer,
- if the driver's door is opened,
- if the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph
(70 km/h).
To switch the system of for a prolonged period,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. This warning lamp is displayed
in the instrument panel and/or a
message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible
signal (short beep).
The indicator lamp in the control flashes for a
few seconds. If the problem occurs while using
the system, the indicator lamp goes off.
These warning lamps
indicate a fault with the power
steering.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

The speed setting is selected with the engine
running, stationary or when driving. The
minimum speed setting possible is 20 mph
(30
km/h).
The vehicle responds to the accelerator until
resistance is felt in the pedal, which signifies
that the vehicle has reached the limiter speed
setting.
However, the limit speed can be exceeded by
pressing the accelerator pedal beyond the point
of resistance; simply release the accelerator
pedal to return to a speed below the limiter
setting.
Setting and operation of the system can be
done stationar y with the engine running or
when driving .
