Parking sensors
This function is a manoeuvring aid which
c annot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain attentive and stay
in control of their vehicle.
They must always check the vehicle's
surroundings before undertaking
a


manoeuvre.
During the entire manoeuvre, the driver
must ensure that the space remains clear.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
Audible assistance
Visual assistance
It supplements the audible signal by displaying
bars on the screen that move progressively
nearer to the vehicle (white: more distant
obstacles; orange: close obstacles; red: very
close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
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 an obstacle is no longer
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) locates the obstacle in relation to the
vehicle – in the vehicle trajectory, in front
or behind.
It is only available with Park Assist.
For more information on Park Assist , refer to
the corresponding section.
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
The information on proximity is given by an
intermittent audible signal, whose frequency
becomes quicker as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
allows the side on which the obstacle is located
to be identified.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

Deactivation/activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
Without touch screen
F To deactivate or activate the system, press this button.
The indicator lamp is illuminated when the
system is deactivated.
The deactivation or activation of
the function is done in the Driving/
Vehicle menu.
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a
trailer is being towed
or a
bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted
with a
towing device or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
Operating limits
- Certain obstacles located in the sensors' blind spots may not be detected or no
longer be detected during the manoeuvre.
-

S
ounds such as those emitted by noisy
vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills, etc.) may inter fere with the
vehicle's sensors.
-

C
ertain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
-

A
ccumulated snow or dead leaves on the
road sur face can inter fere with the vehicle's
sensors.
-

A f
ront or rear impact to the vehicle can
distort the settings of the sensors, which is
not always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be incorrect.
-

T
he tilting of the vehicle if the boot is
very loaded can affect the distance
measurements.
-

T
he sensors may be affected by poor
weather conditions (heavy rain, thick fog,
snowfall, etc.).
Maintenance
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.
High-pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, keep the
lance at least 12
inches (30 cm) away from
the sensors.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs when shifting
t o reverse, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a
message and an
audible signal (short beep).
Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed on the touch screen.
The reversing camera function may be
supplemented with parking sensors.
The superimposed representation of guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre.
They are represented as lines marked "on the
ground" and do not indicate the position of the
vehicle in relation to tall obstacles (e.g. other
vehicles).
Some distortion of the image is normal.
The blue lines 1 represent the general direction of
t he vehicle (the distance between them represents
the width of your vehicle without the door mirrors).
The red line 2
represents a distance of about
30
cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines 3
represent distances of about
1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.
The reversing camera cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
High-pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not direct
the lance from less than 30
cm from the
lens of the camera.
Opening the tailgate causes the display to
disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a
soft, dry cloth.
Park Assist
The system detects a parking space and then
p rovides assistance with the parallel parking
manoeuvres.
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.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel per forms rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could block
the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scar ves,
ties, etc.) – Risk of injury!
It controls the steering and provides visual and
audible information to the driver.
If you have a
manual gearbox, the driver
manages the acceleration, braking, gears and
clutch.
With an automatic gearbox, the driver manages
the acceleration, braking and gears.
The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.
Driving

101
For entry into a parallel parking space, the
system does not detect spaces which are
clearly much smaller or larger than the
size of the vehicle.
The "Parking sensors" function activates
automatically during the manoeuvres, so it
is possible that a


warning lamp illuminates
on the screen, accompanied by an audible
signal, without affecting the parking.
Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres, winter
tyres, etc.) can inter fere with the correct
operation of the parking sensors system.
When the Park Assist is active, it prevents
Stop & Start going into STOP mode.
In STOP mode, activating Park Assist
restarts the engine.
Entering a parallel parking
space
F Once you have detected an available space,
limit the speed of the vehicle to 12 mph
(20


km/h).
The system provides assistance in entering and
exiting a


parking space when parallel parking.

The assisted exit from parking manoeuvre is in
progress.
Without exceeding 3 mph (5 km/h), continue
the manoeuvres following the information given
by the "Parking sensors" system, until the end
