A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
f
ixed , immediately, when being overtaken,
-
f
lashing , after a delay of about one second,
when overtaking a vehicle slowly, and when
the direction indicator is used. This system is designed to improve safety
when driving and is in no circumstances
a substitute for the use of the interior rear
view mirror and door mirrors. It is the
driver's responsibility to constantly check
the traffic, to assess the distances and
relative speeds of other vehicles and to
predict their movements before deciding
whether to change lane.
The alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle – car, lorry,
bicycle – is detected and the following
conditions are fulfilled:
-
a
ll the vehicles must be moving in the same
direction and in adjacent lanes,
-
t
he speed of the vehicle must be between 7
and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-
y
ou overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
-
a v
ehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 15 mph (25 km/h),
-
t
he traffic must be flowing normally,
-
i
n the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken returns to the blind spot,
-
y
ou are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-
y
our vehicle is not towing a trailer, a
caravan, etc.
Blind Spot Detection
This driving assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of his vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger. No alert will be given in the following situations:
-
i
n the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs, etc.),
-
w
ith vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
-
d
riving on a winding road or a sharp corner,

Activation/Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is set via
the vehicle configuration menu.
The system state remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
P E U G E O T.
Malfunction
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
correct operation of the system.

Fatigue detection system
Take a break as soon as you feel tired or at
least every two hours.
These systems cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver who must remain in control of their
decisions. It is never the intention of these
systems to keep the driver awake or to prevent
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated or
deactivated via the vehicle
configuration menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Driver Attention Warning
The system triggers an alert as soon
as it detects that the driver has not
taken a break after two hours of driving
at a speed above 40
mph (65 km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-
e
ngine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15
minutes,
-
t
he ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 40
mph (65 km/h), the system goes
into standby.
The driving time is counted again once the
speed is above 40
mph (65 km/h).
Driver Attention Alert
Depending on version, the "Driver Attention
Warning" system is combined with the "Driver
Attention Alert" system.Using a camera placed at the top of
the windscreen, the system assesses
the driver's level of vigilance by
identifying variations in trajectory
compared to the lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40
mph (65 km/h)).
When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain threshold of
driver fatigue or inattention, it triggers the first
level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
" Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.
Depending on version, the function consists of
just the "Driver Attention Warning" system or of
this combined with the "Driver Attention Alert"
system.

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.

S
top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F
i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F
i
f it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels. Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to the
recommendations on the tyre pressure
label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
The system is initialised with the ignition on and
the vehicle stationary. The new pressure parameters saved
are considered reference values by the
system.
Without audio system
F Press this button for about 3 seconds then
release it, an audible signal confirms the
reinitialisation.
With audio system or touch screen
The reinitialisation is carried out
via the vehicle configuration menu.
Malfunction
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Ser vice warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.

Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct
fuel before star ting the engine.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message.
Fuel cut- of f
When it first comes on, less than 6 litres of
f uel remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel. Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
Diesel misfuel prevention
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It helps
avoid the risk of engine damage that can result
from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the filler cap
is removed.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill the
t a n k s l ow l y.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in
direct contact with the flap of the misfuel
prevention device.
Driving abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the PEUGEOT dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel pumps in the country in which you
intend to travel.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
If the fuel filler flap is open and you try to
open the left-hand side door, a mechanism
prevents it from being opened.
The door can be opened half way however.
Close the fuel filler flap to regain use of
the door.
