2016 Peugeot Expert VU warning

251
Expert_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016
using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen, the system assesses the driver's
level of vigilance by identifying variations in
trajectory compared to the lane markings.
th
is system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h))
Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time
warning system" may be combined with the
"Fatigue detection system".
th

e system cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Do not drive if you are tired or taking
medicines that can cause drowsiness.
on
ce the system considers that the behaviour
of the vehicle suggests a certain level of fatigue
or inattention by the driver, it triggers the first
level of alert.
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message " Take a break!",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal. In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system
may give alerts independent of the
driver's level of vigilance.
th

e following situations may inter fere
with operation of the system or prevent
it working:
-
p

oor visibility (inadequate lighting
of the roadway, falling snow, heavy
rain, dense fog, ...),
-

d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on
a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light, ...),
-

w
indscreen area located in front
of the camera: dirty, misted, frost-
covered, snow-covered, damaged
or covered by a sticker,
-

l
ane markings absent, worn,
masked (snow, mud) or multiple
(roadworks, ...),
-

c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-

r
oads that are narrow, winding, ...
th
e driver is then alerted by the message
" Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.

Blind spot monitoring system
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
i
mmediately, when being overtaken,
-

a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.th
is driving assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger.
th
e alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle - car, lorry,
bicycle - is detected and the following
conditions are fulfilled:
-
a
ll the vehicles must be moving in the
same direction and on adjacent lanes,
-
t
he speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-
w
hen you overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
- w hen a vehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 15 mph (25 km/h),
-

t
he traffic must be flowing normally,
-

i
n the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken returns to the blind spot,
-

y
ou are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-

y
our vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a
caravan...
th

is system is designed to improve
safety when driving and is in no
circumstances a substitute for the use
of the interior rear view mirror and door
mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility to
constantly check the traffic, to assess
the distances and relative speeds
of other vehicles and to predict their
movements before deciding whether to
change lane.
th

e blind spot sensor system does not
replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.

Operating fault
Have it checked by a PEugEo t dealer or a
qualified workshop.
th
e system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud,
ice or snow.ta ke care not to cover the warning zone
in the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with adhesive labels or other objects;
they may hamper the correct operation
of the system.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment:
With the touch screen
In the Driving
menu, activate/deactivate " Blind
spot monitoring ".
In the event of a fault, these warning lamps
flash.
th

e indicator lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal.

Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
th

e under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
th

e under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
th

is is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message. It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
and after changing one or more wheels.

excessive steering movements and sudden
braking.

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so. F

I

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F

i

f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F

i

f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
th

e loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
th

e alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.
Initialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.
the

new pressure settings registered
are considered to be reference values
by the system.

Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in
the tank is reached, this
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision. When it first comes on, less than 8 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the tank
drained and refilled with the correct
fuel before you star t the engine.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
Diesel misfuel
prevention
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids
the risk of engine damage that can result from
filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the filler cap
is removed.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap.
t
h
e system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler
nozzle.
If your vehicle has sliding side doors, do
not open the left hand sliding door as
there is a risk of damaging the fuel filler
flap when refuelling.
