Malfunction
- with 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
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

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.).

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.

that the driver must take back
control of their vehicle).
For wards.
Reverse.
During the manoeuvring stages, the
steering wheel rotates rapidly: do not hold
the steering wheel nor place your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for anything likely to block the
manoeuvre (loose and bulky clothing,
scar ves, ties, etc.) – risk 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 might hinder the advance of the
vehicle.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen 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.
The driver must check the sides of the
vehicle, using the mirrors.
If the vehicle slows down significantly, the
brake lamps may come on. The manoeuvre can be interrupted temporarily
at any time, either automatically by the system
if an obstacle is detected, or by driver action.
If the driver sees a hazard risk, they can also
permanently interrupt the manoeuvre.
To suspend the manoeuvre, the driver can:
-

r
elease the function control button,
-

p
ress the brake pedal,
-

r
esume control of the steering,
or
-

c
