Operating fault
If a fault occurs when shifting
to 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.
Visiopark 1 – Visiopark 2
Different contextual views can be displayed in
the left-hand part:
-
s
tandard view,
-

1
80° view,
-

z
oom view.
With the engine running, these systems allow
views of your vehicle’s close surroundings to
be displayed on 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 in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the
information on the view from above the vehicle.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information from the parking sensors.
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.

The display is immediately updated with the
type of view selected.
The state of the system is not memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
Principle of operation
With Visiopark 2, the image is created using
both cameras, when going for ward and when
reversing.
When the function is activated, it is possible
that the view from above is not displayed.
If
the function is activated after the vehicle has
already been driven, the view from above may
be completely displayed. Using one or both cameras, the vehicle's close
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is created in real time, as the
vehicle manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen.
This image is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.

This system is a visual aid that cannot in
any circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
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.
Recommendations on care
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 cameras with a soft,
dry cloth.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the lance at least 30 cm away from the
cameras and parking aid sensors.

Zoom view
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.
AUTO mode
The camera records the vehicle's surroundings
during the manoeuvre in order to create a
view from above the rear of the vehicle in its
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be
manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the
automatic view changes from a rear view
(standard) to a view from above (zoom), as an
obstacle is approached at the level of the red
line (less than 30 cm) during a manoeuvre.
180° view
Visiopark 2
The vehicle has a camera at the front, fitted
in the grille, and a camera at the rear, located
close to the number plate lamps.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.
It consists of 3 areas: left A
, centre B and
right C
.
This view is available only from the view

Park Assist
This system provides active parking
assistance: it detects a parking space and then
steers in the appropriate direction to park in
this space while the driver controls the driving
direction, engagement of gears, 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.This system is a manoeuvring aid that
cannot under any circumstances replace
the vigilance of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle. He or she must always check
the surroundings of the vehicle before
undertaking a manoeuvre and ensure that
the space remains clear during the entire
manoeuvre.
The system per forms the measurements of
available parking spaces and calculations of
distances to obstacles using ultrasonic sensors
built in the front and rear bumpers of the
vehicle. The system assists with the following
manoeuvres:
Operation
A.
Parking when entering a "parallel" parking
space.
B. Leaving a "parallel" parking space.
C. Parking when entering a "bay" parking
space.

Parking space search
F You should drive at a distance of between 0.50 m and 1.50 m from the row of parked
vehicles, without ever exceeding 19 mph
(30
km/h), until the system finds an available
space.
The parking space search stops over this limit.
The function automatically deactivates once
the vehicle speed exceeds 31 mph (50 km/h).
For "parallel" parking, the space must at
a minimum be equal to the length of your
vehicle plus 0.60 m.
For "bay" parking, the width of the space
must be equal to the width of your vehicle
plus 0.70 m.
If the parking sensors function has been
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle menu
of the touch screen, it will be automatically
reactivated when the system is activated. When the system finds an available space,
"
OK " is displayed on the parking view,
accompanied by an audible signal.

During a manoeuvre, the steering wheel
turns quickly: do not hold the steering
wheel, do not place your hand between
the spokes of the steering wheel. Watch
out for anything likely to block the
manoeuvre (loose and bulky clothing,
scar ves, ties, etc.) – Risks of injury!
It is the driver's responsibility to monitor
the state of the traffic continuously,
especially vehicles coming towards you.
The driver should check that no object
or person can hinder the advance of the
vehicle.

Operating limits
- The system may suggest an inappropriate
parking space (parking prohibited, work
in progress with damaged road sur face,
location alongside a ditch, etc.).
-

T
he system may indicate that a space
was found but will not offer it because of
a fixed obstacle on the opposite side of
the manoeuvre which would not allow the
vehicle to follow a trajectory required for
parking.
-

T
he system is not designed for per forming
the parking manoeuvre on a sharp curve.
-

T
he system does not detect spaces that are
much larger than the vehicle itself or that
are delimited by obstacles that are too low
(pavements, studs, etc.) or too thin (trees,
posts, wire fences, etc.).
-

C
ertain obstacles located in the sensors’
blind spots may not be detected or no
longer be detected during the manoeuvre.
-

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

A f
ront or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be falsified.
-
I
f the boot is heavily loaded, the tilt of the
vehicle towards the rear may inter fere with
the distance measurements.
The vehicle's sensors and camera(s) may be
impaired by:
-

a
ccumulated snow or fallen leaves on the
road,
