In the event of a problem on one of the tyres, a symbol or a message is \
displayed, depending on equipment, to identify it.
F

Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake
applications.
F


Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
F


In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or
the

spare wheel (according to equipment),


or
F

if you have a compressor
, the one in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre pressures when cold,


or
F

if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed.
UNdER-INFLATION ALERT
The alert is given by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a
message.
The loss of pressure detected does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check. With the ignition on, the pressure must be increased by at least
0.2

bar. If necessary, adjust the pressures to the values given on
the tyre pressure label. The
flashing and then fixed illumination of this warning
lamp accompanied by the illumination of the service
warning lamp indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.
This

alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not fitted
with a sensor (steel spare wheel).
Go

to a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked or

, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original
wheel,
equipped with a sensor, refitted.
OPERATING FAULT
The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired or replaced.

This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance of the driver.Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks cone, etc.) detected
initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they
are located in blind spots in the sensors' field of detection.
PARKING SENSORSREAR PARKING SENSORS
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, th\
e
frequency
of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on\

which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes
less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree,
gate,

etc.)

which

comes

within

the

field

of

detection

of

sensors

located

in the bumper

.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear. This is
accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out of reverse gear.

FRONT PARKING
SENSORS
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are
triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the
vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more \
than three seconds in forward gear, if no further obstacles are detected
or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
This supplements the audible signal by displaying bars in the
multifunction screen which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is displayed in
the

screen. The function is deactivated by pressing this button. The indicator lamp
in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the function. The indicator lamp in
the button goes off. The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the\

obstacle is in front or behind.

deactivation / Activation of the rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated or activated via the vehicle configuration menu.
The status of the function is stored when the ignition is switched off.
OPERATING FAULT
In the event of a malfunction of the system, when reverse gear
is engaged this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact
a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not
covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.)
may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being
towed

or

a

bicycle

carrier

is

fitted

(vehicle

fitted

with

a

towbar

or

bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not depen\
dent
on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Tyres
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer ,
observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical signalling on the trailer .
F
If the warning l
amp and the STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible. The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a
genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
When not towing a trailer, remove the quickly-detachable tow ball
before driving, so as to avoid masking the central rear lamp.
