Park Assist
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.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. Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres, 
winter tyres, ...) can inter fere with 
the correct operation of the parking 
assistance system.
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. 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 system provides assistance in entering and 
exiting a parking space when parallel parking. The driver can take back control of the steering 
at any time by grasping the wheel.
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.

Active City Brake
Active City Brake is a driving assistance 
system that aims to avoid a frontal collision 
or reduce the speed of an impact if the driver 
does not react sufficiently (inadequate brake 
application).
This system is designed to improve driving safety.
It remains the driver's responsibility to 
continuously monitor the state of the traffic and 
to assess the distances and relative speeds of 
other vehicles.
Active City Brake can in no circumstances replace 
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Never look at the laser sensor through 
an optical instrument (magnifying glass, 
microscope...) at a distance of less than 
10 centimetres: risk of eye injury.Automatic braking occurs later than if 
done by the driver, so as to intervene 
only when there is a high risk of 
collision.
Principle
Using a laser sensor located at the top of the 
windscreen, this system detects a vehicle 
running in the same direction or stationary 
ahead of your vehicle.
When necessary, the vehicle's braking system 
is operated automatically to avoid a collision 
with the vehicle ahead.
Conditions for activation
Active City Brake only operates if the following 
conditions are met:
●
 
i
 gnition on,
●
 
t
 he vehicle is in a for ward gear,
●
 
s
 peed is between about 3 and 18 mph  
(5 and 30 km/h),
●
 
t
 he braking assistance systems (ABS, 
EBFD, emergency braking assistance) are 
not faulty,
●
 
t
 he trajectory control systems (ASR, DSC) 
are not deactivated or faulty,
●
 
t
 he vehicle is not in a tight corner,
●
 
t
 he system has not been triggered during 
the previous 10 seconds.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to 
the axle and the nose weight approaches 
the maximum permitted without 
exceeding
 
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus 
reducing engine performance. Above 
1
  000   metres, the maximum towed load must 
be reduced by 10
  % for every 1   000 metres of 
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity  to side wind.For more information on weights (and 
the towed loads which apply to your 
vehicle) refer to the corresponding 
section.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the 
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling 
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
 
T
 o lower the engine speed, reduce your 
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline 
depends on the gradient and the ambient 
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant 
temperature.
F
 
I
 f the warning lamp and the 
STOP  warning lamp come on, 
stop the vehicle and switch off 
the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of 
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing  vehicle and of the trailer, observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam 
height of your vehicle.
For more information on adjusting the 
headlamp beam height, refer to the 
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically if a genuine 
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
