No alert will be given in the following situations:
- i n the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, safety barriers, street
lamps, road signs, etc.),
-

w
ith vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
-

d
riving on a winding road or a sharp corner,
-

w
hen overtaking or being overtaken by a
very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) which is
also in the rear blind spot and present in the
driver's front field of vision,
-

w
hen overtaking quickly,
-

i
n very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry or
a stationary object.
-

t

he traffic is flowing normally,
-

i

n the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken remains in the blind spot,
-

y

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

y

our vehicle is not towing a trailer, a
caravan, etc.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, this warning
lamp flashes for a few moments in the instrument
panel, accompanied by the Service warning lamp
coming on and the display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail, etc.).
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.

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.
Side parking sensors
Using four additional sensors located on the
sides of the front and rear bumpers, the system
records the position of fixed obstacles during
the manoeuvre and signals them when they are
located by the sides of the vehicle.
Only fixed obstacles are signalled
correctly. Moving obstacles detected
at the beginning of the manoeuvre may
be signalled mistakenly, while moving
obstacles which appear at the sides of
the vehicle and which were not previously
recorded will not be signalled.
Deactivation/Activation
The system is activated or deactivated via the
vehicle settings menu in the screen.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The rear parking sensors system will
be deactivated automatically if a trailer
or bicycle carrier is connected to a
towing device installed in line with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
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 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.

Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are in reality.
It is important to check the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also provide
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
180° view
The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a
parking bay, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a complete manoeuvre.
Visiopark 2
The vehicle has a camera at the front, fitted
in the grille, and a camera at the rear, located
close to the tailgate opening control.
Using these cameras, the system displays
the vehicle's near surroundings in the touch
screen, offering views from the rear of the
vehicle (rear vision), when reverse gear is
engaged and views from the front of the vehicle
(front vision), when the gearbox is in neutral or
a gear is engaged.
Rear vision
It consists of 3 areas: left A, centre B and
right C.
This view is available only from the view
selection menu.
If a trailer or a bicycle carrier is fitted to
the towball, the zone behind the vehicle
on the top view goes dark.
The surroundings are reconstructed by
the front camera only.
The rear vision views are similar to those for
the Visiopark 1.
For more information on Visiopark 1 , refer to
the corresponding section.
Front and rear vision
The system is deactivated:
- a utomatically above about 6 mph (10 km/h),
-

w
hen shifting out of reverse (the rear view
image is replaced by the front view image
for 7
seconds),
-

b
y pressing the red cross in the top left-
hand corner of the touch screen.
The system activates automatically when
reverse gear is engaged.

workshop.
Operating faults
In the event of a fault, this warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds,
accompanied by an audible signal.
In the event of a fault with the
power steering, this warning lamp
is displayed in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle
and the space is too great, the system may
not be able to measure the space.
Any object projecting beyond the
dimensions of the vehicle (e.g. a ladder on
the roof or a towball) will not be taken into
account by the Park Assist system during
a manoeuvre.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by dirt, ice
or


snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, keep the lance at
least 12
inches (30 cm) away from the sensors.
If the fault occurs during the use of the system,
the warning lamp goes off.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of
your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular
fuel may be required (specific octane
rating, specific trade name, etc.) to ensure
correct operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a dealer.
Towing device
Load distribution
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude. Use towing devices and their genuine
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. It
is recommended that the installation be
per formed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Important: for versions equipped with
the motorised tailgate with Hands-Free
Tailgate Access function, if a towing
device other than a genuine PEUGEOT
one is installed, it is imperative to visit
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the detection
system: risk of Hands-Free Tailgate
Access function failure.
Certain driving assistance or
manoeuvring assistance functions are
automatically disabled if an approved
towbar is used. Observe the maximum authorised
towable weight, indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, the
manufacturer's label as well as in the
Technical data
section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (ball joint)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
Vehicle equipped with motorised
tailgate with "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function
To avoid unwanted opening of the tailgate
when using the towing device:
-

d
eactivate the Hands-Free Tailgate
Access function in advance in your
vehicle's configuration menu,
-

o
r remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate
