Audio and Telematics
The table below gives answers to the most frequently asked questions on your audio system.
QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
With the engine off, the audio system switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio system operating time depends on the state of charge of the battery. The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display.
In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal protection mode leading to a reduction in volume or CD play stopping.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool.
Frequently asked questions
QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between the different audio sources (radio, CD...).
For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience and Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources, which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio, CD...).
Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience and Loudness) are adapted to the sources listened to. It is advisable to set the audio functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear Balance and Left-Right Balance) to the middle position, select the musical ambience "None" and set the loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.

The programmable heating operates independently from the engine.
With the engine off, it preheats the coolant circuit to ensure optimal engine operating temperature
as soon as it is started up.
The programmable heating is switched on by the long range remote control. It may be immediate or
deferred thanks to a programming function.
Programmable heating
Always switch off the programmable heating when refuelling to avoid any risk of fire or
explosion.
The programmable heating is powered by the vehicle fuel tank. Before use, ensure that
the remaining quantity of fuel is sufficient. If the fuel tank is in its reser ve, we strongly
recommend you do not programme the heating.
To avoid the risks of intoxication or asphyxia, the programmable heating must not be used,
even for short periods, in a closed environment such as a garage or workshop which are not
equipped with an exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a flammable sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper, etc.) - risk of
fire!
The volumetric alarm movement detector
may be disrupted by the programmable
heating air flows when it is operating.
To avoid any untimely triggering of the
alarm when using the programmable
heating, it is advisable that the volumetric
monitoring is deactivated. Adapting the programmable heating
enables you to use it to preheat the
passenger compartment of your vehicle.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Trailer stability assist
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the vehicle or trailer swaying.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability programme (ESC) must
not have any faults.
Between 36 and 100 mph (60 and 160 km/h),
if the system detects swaying movements in
the trailer, it acts on the brakes to stabilise the
trailer and, if necessary, reduces engine power
to slow down the vehicle.The correction is signalled by the
flashing of the indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and activation of
the brake lights.
Operating fault
Should a fault occur with the system,
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal. The trailer stability assist system
offers increased safety in normal
driving conditions, provided that the
recommendations on towing a trailer are
obser ved. It must not encourage the driver
to take additional risks, such as towing
a trailer in adverse operating conditions
(overloading, failure to obser ve the trailer
nose weight, worn or under-inflated tyres,
faulty braking system, etc.) or drive at too
high a speed.
In certain cases, the swaying of the trailer
may not be detected by the ESC system,
particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor sur faces,
the system may not be able to prevent
sudden swaying of the trailer.
If you continue to tow a trailer, reduce your
speed and drive carefully!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
For information on the weights and towed
loads, refer to the "Technical data" section or
the registration certificate for your vehicle.
For advice on driving safely when Towing a
trailer , refer to the corresponding section.

Operating limits
In the following cases, deactivating the
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is
recommended:
- when towing a trailer,
- when carrying long objects on roof bars or
a roof rack,
- before using an automatic car wash, with
the engine running,
- before placing the vehicle on a rolling road
in a workshop,
- when the vehicle is being towed, with the
engine running,
- when a "space-saver" type spare wheel is
fitted (depending on version),
- following impact damage to the windscreen
close to the detection camera,
- if the front bumper has been damaged,
- if the brake lamps are not working. Because of limits in the operation of the
system, it is possible that warnings are
not given, are given too late or seem
unjustified.
Consequently, the driver must always
remain attentive and able to react at any
time to avoid an accident.
Distance alert
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, different levels of
alert can be triggered and displayed in the
instrument panel.
Level 1: visual alert only, signalling
that the vehicle in front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front. Level 2: visual and audible alert,
warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
This level of alert is based on the time before
collision. It takes into account the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the
one in front, the environmental conditions, the
operating conditions of the vehicle (on a cur ve,
pedals pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the
relevant moment.

If the camera and/or radar have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes once the function is acting on
the vehicle's brakes.
Important: if operation of the
automatic emergency braking is
triggered, you must take back control
of your vehicle and brake with the
pedal to supplement or finish the
automatic braking action.
The driver can take back control of the vehicle
at any time by sharply turning the steering
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal. The point at which braking is triggered
may be adjusted according to the reaction
from the driver, such as movement of the
steering wheel or pressing the accelerator
pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for 1
to 2 seconds.
With a manual gear box, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, the
engine may stall.
With an automatic gear box, in the event
of automatic emergency braking until
the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
maintain the brake pedal down to stop the
vehicle from starting off again.Specific conditions for operation
The vehicle's speed must be between 3 mph
and 53 mph (5km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera alone) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle
is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 50 mph
(80km/h) when a stopped vehicle is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 37 mph
(60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
The ESC system must not be defective.
The CDS must not be deactivated.
All passengers seatbelts must be fastened.
Driving at steady speed on roads with few
bends is required. After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.

Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start-up.
The system can be deactivated or activated via
the vehicle settings menu.Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message. Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
Clean the front bumper, removing mud,
snow, etc.
If the front bumper is to be repainted or
retouched, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could inter fere with the operation of
the radar.
Operating fault
Check that the sensors (camera and radar) are
not covered by dirt, mud, frost, snow, etc.
If the fault persists, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.In the event of a fault with the system,
you are alerted by the tell-tale lighting
up, accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
The camera my be disrupted or not work
in the following situations:
- poor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),
- dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on
a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light, etc.),
- obstruction of the camera or radar
(mud, frost, snow, etc.).
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.

Raise palette A as much as possible.
F Replace clamp B open on the (+) terminal
F Press clamp B up to the stop.
F Lower palette A to lock clamp B .
Do not press too hard on the palette
because if the clamp is badly positioned it
will then be impossible to lock; restart the
procedure.
After re-connection
During the trip following the initial starting
of the engine, the Stop & Start may not be
operational.
In this case, the function will only be
available after the vehicle has been
continuously immobile, the duration
of which will depend on the ambient
temperature and the battery charge state
(up to around 8 hours)
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
allow the electronic systems to initialise. For versions with right-hand drive, when
the odometer reaches 100 km (65 miles),
you should wait 15 minutes before starting
the engine.
However, if slight perturbations persist after
this, check with your PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
When referring to the corresponding column,
your should reinitialise some equipment such
as:
- The remote control key or electronic key
(depending on the version)
- The sunroof and its electric privacy drape
- The electric window winder
- The date and time
- The memorised radio stations
Disconnecting the (+) terminal Reconnecting the (+) terminal
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of ser vice for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F close all openings (doors, tailgate,
windows, sunroof),
F switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.),
F switch off the ignition and wait for four
minutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to
disconnect the (+) terminal.
