Malfunction
Depending on your vehicle's equipment:
orThe warning lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. In the event of a fault, this warning lamp(s)
flashes.
Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear, as confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear. 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.
Audible assistance
The function signals the presence of obstacles
present within the sensors’ detection zone.
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 audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
allows you to identify the side on which the
obstacle is located.
Visual assistance
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
P E U G E O T.

It supplements the audible signal by displaying
bars on the screen that move progressively
nearer to the vehicle (green: more distant
obstacles; yellow: 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 front or behind.
Deactivation/Activation
Without audio system
With audio system or touch
screen
The deactivation or activation
is carried out via the vehicle
configuration menu.
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.

Zoom view
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.
AUTO mode
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.
Standard view
The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the
screen.
The blue lines 1 represent the width of your
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their
direction changes depending on the position of
the steering wheel.
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30 cm
from the bumper; the two blue lines 3 and 4
represent 1 m and 2 m, respectively.

Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.
F

A
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
F

F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 31 mph
(50


km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim. Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
You can also use snow socks.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Towing device
Load distribution
F
D istribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10
% for every
1,000 metres of altitude. Use towing devices and their unmodified
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. It
is recommended that the installation be
per formed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by
a PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring
assistance functions are automatically
disabled if an approved towbar is used.
Obser ve the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the Technical data

section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (towball)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
