The direction of the manoeuvre is indicated by
these symbols:
The central arrow is green whilst the vehicle
is moving, or white to indicate the next
manoeuvring direction.Throughout the whole manoeuvre,
indicated by a green " AUTO" symbol, the
driver must hold the selector button down. Manoeuvre completed or
abandoned (white arrows indicate
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
hange the status of the gearbox (except
changing to P ).
Suspending the manoeuvre leads to the
immediate immobilisation of the vehicle.
It is confirmed by the display of
this symbol accompanied by the
message " Manoeuvre suspended ".

touch screen, accompanied by the
message " Manoeuvre abandoned ".
A message encourages the driver to take back
control of their vehicle. The function is deactivated after
a few seconds, this indicator lamp
goes off and the initial display is
resumed.
The system automatically engages mode P of
the gearbox after 4 seconds.

manoeuvre, the gearbox changes to N .
With a message and symbols, the driver
is encouraged to resume control of their
vehicle: take hold of the steering wheel,

Driving

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!

Practical information

221
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake, unless it is
programmed to be in automatic mode;
switch off the ignition and with a manual
gearbox, engage first gear so as to lock
the wheels.
Apply the parking brake, unless it is
programmed to be in automatic mode;
switch off the ignition and with an
automatic gearbox, select mode P so as
to lock the wheels.
Check that the parking brake warning
lamps in the instrument panel are on fixed.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be
changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand. F

whichever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.

minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum ser vice life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
-

i
f you only use your vehicle for short
journeys,
-

i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you wish to charge your vehicle's battery
yourself, use only a charger compatible
with lead-acid batteries with a nominal
voltage of 12 V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.

In the event of a breakdown

236
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise certain systems,
such

as:
-

t
he electronic key,
-

t
he sunroof and its electric blind,
-

t
he electric windows,
-

t
he date and time,
-

t
he preset radio stations.The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
next engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8 hours).
Towing the vehicle
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or
for towing another vehicle using a removable
towing device.
Access to the tools
The towing eye is stored in a toolbox, under the
boot floor.
