Adjusting the audible signalOn versions equipped with
PEUGEOT Connect Radio,
pressing this button opens the
audible signal volume adjustment
window.
Visual assistance
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
(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
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.
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).
Side parking sensors
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.
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.
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.
Depending on version, in the example shown,
only the obstacles present in the shaded area
will be signalled by the audible assistance.

Malfunction
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.
Reversing camera
With the ignition on, this system uses a camera
located near the third brake lamp to display a
view of the rear of your vehicle on the output
screen (if it is a panel van or has a solid
partition).
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged. The image is
displayed on the output screen. The output
screen switches off when the gearbox is in
neutral or in a for ward gear. The blue lines 1 represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the gap corresponds to the width
of your vehicle with the mirrors).
The red line 2 represents a distance of about
30
cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines 3 represent distances of
about 1 and 2
metres beyond the edge of your
vehicle's rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves 4 represent the
maximum turning circle.
The reversing camera is a driving aid which
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Some objects may not be seen by the
camera. Certain vehicles may be difficult to see
(dark colours, headlamps off) when the
brightness of the screen is reduced by the
vehicle’s lighting dimmer.
The image quality may be affected by the
environment, the exterior conditions (rain,
dirt, dust), the driving mode, the lighting
conditions (night, low sun).
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.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are in reality.
During parking manoeuvres and lane
changes, it is important to check the sides
of the vehicle using the mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also provide
information on the vehicle's surroundings.

If a trailer is attached to the towball,
when reverse gear is engaged the visual
reversing aid will no longer work until the
trailer is disconnected. The monitoring
rear view becomes the default view.
If the system develops a malfunction, go
to a PEUGEOT dealer to avoid any safety
problems.
Maintenance
recommendations
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors and cameras 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 spray from at least 30
cm away from
the cameras and parking sensors.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check
the tyre inflation pressures (including
the spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3
bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by fixed
illumination of the warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
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
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:

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 original
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
deactivated if an approved towbar is used.

Overload indicator
The overload indicator is a driving aid and
informs you that the maximum authorised
weight has been exceeded; this may be
either the gross vehicle weight (GV W) or the
maximum authorised weight on either axle
(front and rear) (GAWR).
The indicator does not relieve the user
from the responsibility.
Even if you correctly measure the weight
of the vehicle's load, any factor that
may vary this weight (seating the driver/
additional passengers or taking on
additional fuel) after the measurement
may put the vehicle into the overload
condition. -
T
he load includes the weight of the
items stored in the loading area
(including any fittings such as shelves),
but also the weight of all persons on
board the vehicle, the amount of fuel
and various equipment fitted on the
vehicle.

Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is signalled by the temporary
illumination of one of these warning
lamps, accompanied by a message
warning of the risk of the filter
clogging up.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed
of at least 37
mph (60 km/h) until the
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section. On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc wear
For all information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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.
