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.

Characteristics of engines and towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are detailed on the
vehicle's registration certificate, and in the
sales documentation.
Weights and towed loads
When the ambient temperature is high,
leaving the engine running for 1 to
2 minutes after stopping the vehicle to
allow it to cool is recommended.
The weights and towed loads relating to your
vehicle are stated in the registration certificate,
and in the sales documentation.
These values are also shown on the
manufacturer's nameplate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are
valid up to a maximum altitude of 1,000 metres.
The towed load value must be reduced by 10%
for each additional 1,000 metres of altitude.
The recommended nose weight corresponds
to the weight permitted on the towbar
(dismantlable with or without a tool).
GT W:
Gross train weight High ambient temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of
the vehicle to protect the engine. If the
ambient temperature is above 37°C, limit
the towed load.
Towing with a towing vehicle which is only
slightly laden may negatively affect its
handling.
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
With a towing vehicle, never exceed the
speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) (obser ve the
local legislation in force).
The maximum power corresponds to
the value type-approved on a test bed,
according to the conditions defined in
European legislation (Directive 1999/99/
EC).
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
