Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp and the indicator
lamp P in the control lever of the electric
parking brake are on fixed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated. However, use of the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts
its operation.
Operation
Uphill, with the vehicle stationar y, the
vehicle is held for a shor t time when you
release the brake pedal:
-
p
rovided you are in first gear or neutral on a
manual gearbox.
-

p
rovided you are in mode D or M with an
automatic gearbox. Downhill, with the vehicle stationary and
reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a shor t time when you release the brake
pedal.
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Active Suspension
Control
This suspension can modulate itself to the
following parameters: state and profile of the
road, load of the vehicle, driving style and
selected driving mode.
The mode can be selected using the driving
modes control on the central console.
For more information on the Driving modes
,
refer to the corresponding section. It is managed by a control unit, which interprets
the data transmitted by different sensors to
apply the optimal level of damping to each
shock absorber according to these parameters.
It offers three modes: Comfort , Normal and
Sport .
In Comfort mode, it favours soft damping to
improve comfort on poor road sur faces.
In Normal mode, it offers the best compromise
between comfort and handling.
In Sport mode, it favours firm damping to limit
body movements.
Driving modes
These various driving modes offered
correspond to specific vehicle settings.
This choice of driving modes depends on the
vehicle’s equipment.
Each time the ignition is switched on, " Normal"
is selected by default.

Malfunction

-

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
both 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,
-

i
f the Park Assist or Full Park Assist function
is activated.
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accompanied by 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.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towing device
approved by PEUGEOT.
High-pressure washing
When washing your vehicle, keep the lance
at least 12 inches (30 cm) away from the
sensors.Parking sensors
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.
Driving

177
This function is a manoeuvring aid which
cannot, 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.
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.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the sound signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
Adjusting the audible signalIn versions equipped with
PEUGEOT Connect Radio,
pressing this button opens the
audible signal volume adjustment
window. (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
Visual assistance
The function signals the presence of obstacles
both within the sensor detection zone and in
the vehicle path defined by the orientation of
the steering wheel. It supplements the audible assistance, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen that represent the
distance between the obstacle and the vehicle
6
Driving

178
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 function is deactivated and
activated in the Driving /Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
The state of the function 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.
In this case, the outline of a trailer is
displayed at the rear of the image of the
vehicle.
The parking sensors are deactivated during the
space measurement phase of the Park Assist
and Full Park Assist functions.
For more information on the Park Assist or the
Full 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.
-

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.
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.
-

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.).
