this indicator lamp temporarily
flashing and an audible signal
indicate a system fault.
If the fault occurs during the use of the system,
the indicator lamp goes off. If the fault in the parking sensors,
indicated by this warning lamp
coming on, occurs during use, it
causes the function to deactivate.
In the event of a fault, have the system checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault with the
power steering, this warning lamp
flashes in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

n bad weather, or during the winter, ensure
that the sensors and cameras are not
covered with mud, ice or snow.
Full Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking: it detects a parking space then
operates the vehicle to park it in this space,
without intervention from the driver.
Associated with the EAT8 automatic gearbox,
the system manages control of the steering,
direction, acceleration and braking.
To assist the driver in monitoring the
correct manoeuvring operation, the system
automatically triggers the display of Visiopark 1
or Visiopark 2 and the activation of the parking
sensors.
Driving

189
The driver's seat belt must be fastened
and remain in place for the entire
manoeuvre.Full Park Assist is a manoeuvring aid that
cannot under any circumstances replace
the vigilance of the driver.
The manoeuvre remains the responsibility
of the driver.
Full Park Assist is not always able to react
automatically and appropriately due to the
performance limits of the sensors used.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop the
vehicle when necessary to ensure the
safety of their immediate environment
(particularly where there are pedestrians).
The driver must remain in control of
their vehicle. They must always check
the area surrounding the vehicle before
undertaking a manoeuvre.
Throughout the entire manoeuvre, the
driver must ensure the parking space
remains free of obstruction. They must
remain in the driving seat and must never
try to lock the function control button.
The driver can interrupt the manoeuvre
at any time by pressing the brake pedal,
by retaking control of the steering or by
releasing the function control button.
The driver must hold the function control
button, located on the gear selector, down for
the whole duration of the automatic manoeuvre.
The system per forms the measurements of
available parking spaces and calculations of
distances to obstacles using 12 ultrasonic
sensors built in the front and rear bumpers of
the vehicle.
The Full Park Assist system provides
assistance for the following manoeuvres:
-
p

arking when entering and exiting a
"parallel" parking space.
-

p
arking when entering a "bay" parking
space.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
specific check. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake , refer to the corresponding
section.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a month and before a long
j o u r n ey. Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's
steering. Regular inspections of the condition
of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are
recommended as well as making sure that
valves are fitted.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,
wheel rotation, ground clearance and the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
The pressures given on the tyre pressure label
are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for
more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles (10
kilometres) at more than 31 mph (50 km/h),
0.3 bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values
given on the label.
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption.
Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature
wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the
vehicle's road holding – Risk of an accident!
