Blind Spot Monitoring System
This 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.
Activation / Deactivation
Activation and deactivation of the
system is done in the Driving menu
of the touch screen.
Select the " Driving assistance " tab, then
" Blind spot monitoring ".
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.
This 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.
This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver. This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
To deactivate the system, select
"
Blind spot monitoring " again in the
" Driving assistance " tab.
The indicator lamp goes off.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The state of the system remains in memory on
switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
P E U G E O T.

Operating fault
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, direct the
lance at least 30 cm away from the
sensors.The 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.
Take 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.
In the event of a fault, this warning lamp flashes
for a few moments in the instrument panel,
accompanied by illumination of the Service
warning lamp and the display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you cross a lane marking
with the direction indicators on, to help you
avoid a collision.

Parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (examples: pedestrian, vehicle, tree,
gate) which comes within the field of detection
of sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (examples: stake,
roadworks cone) 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.
This system cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the 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.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in the screen.

Front parking sensors
The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being
towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
installed in line with the manufacturer's
recommendations).In bad or wintry weather, 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 sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is in front or behind.
Deactivation / Activation
The deactivation or activation of the system
is done in the vehicle parameters menu in the
screen.
The state of the system is held in memory when
the ignition is switched off.
The parking sensors are deactivated while the
Park Assist system is measuring a space.
For more information on Park Assist
, refer to
the corresponding section.
Operating fault
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not
direct the lance within 30 cm of the
sensors. In the event of a fault, when reverse
gear is engaged this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal
(short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
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 for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Panoramic vision
General points
Visiopark 1 - Visiopark 2
With the engine running, this system allows
views of the vehicle's surroundings to be
displayed in the touch screen, using one
camera for Visiopark 1, and two cameras for
Visiopark 2.The screen is divided into two parts: on the
left, a contextual view; on the right, a view from
above the vehicle.
The parking sensors complete the information
on the view from above the vehicle.
Different contextual views can be displayed in
the left-hand part:
-
s
tandard view,
-
1
80° view,
-
r

The images provided by the camera(s)
may be distorted by the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade,
or in conditions of bright sunlight or
inadequate lighting, the image may be
darkened and with lower contrast.
Maintenance
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors and camera lenses are not covered
with mud, ice or snow.
Check the cleanliness of the camera lenses
regularly.
If necessary, clean the camera lenses with a
soft, dry cloth.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, keep the tip of the
lance at least 30 cm from the cameras.
This system is a visual aid that cannot
in any circumstances replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Principle of image reconstruction
Using one or both cameras, this system
records the vehicle's surroundings during the
manoeuvre.
An image from above your vehicle in its near
surroundings is reconstructed in real time, as
you progress in the manoeuvre.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen.
This reconstructed view is automatically
deleted if the vehicle remains stationary for
too
long. With Visiopark 2, the view is reconstructed
using both cameras, when going for ward and
when reversing.
On activation of the system, it is possible
that the central view is not reconstructed. If
the system is activated after the vehicle has
already been driven, the central view may be
completely reconstructed.
