Driving
6These systems are in no way designed 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
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle
touch screen menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Driver Attention Alert
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 the driver 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:
–

With the engine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
–


The ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes.
–


The 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 by
camera


Using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen, the system assesses the
driver's level of vigilance, fatigue or distraction 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)).
At a first-level alert, the driver is warned by the
“Take care! ” message, accompanied by an
audible signal.
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers
a further alert with the message " Dangerous
driving: take a break", accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
surface or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's level of
vigilance.
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–

lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow
,
mud) or multiple (roadworks);
–

close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings
not detected);
–


roads that are narrow
, winding, etc.
Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .


Using sensors located in the bumper, this
system signals the proximity of obstacles
(e.g.
pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in
their field of detection.

128
Driving
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.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
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) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
Adjusting the audible signalWith PEUGEOT Connect Radio or
PEUGEOT Connect Nav, pressing
this button opens the window for adjusting the
volume of the audible signal.
Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars on the screen that represent the
distance between the obstacle and the vehicle
(white: more distant, orange: close, red: very
close).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
Supplementing 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).
Front parking sensor operation is suspended if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected
or the vehicle speed exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle relative to
the vehicle, in front or behind it.
Side parking sensors

Using four additional sensors located on the
sides of the bumpers, the system records the
position of obstacles during the manoeuvre and
indicates them when they are located alongside
the vehicle.
Only fixed obstacles are indicated
correctly. Moving obstacles detected at
the beginning of the manoeuvre may be
indicated mistakenly, while moving obstacles
that appear alongside the vehicle but were
not previously recorded will not be indicated.
Objects memorised during the
manoeuvre will no longer be stored after
switching off the ignition.
Deactivation / Activation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle
touch screen menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.

129

The rear parking sensors system will be deactivated automatically if a trailer or
bicycle carrier is connected to a towing device
installed in accordance 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 while the
Park Assist and Full Park Assist functions are
measuring a space.
For more information on the Park Assist or the
Full Park Assist, refer to the corresponding
section.
When the vehicle is started, the visual
and audible aids will be available after
the touch screen has started up.
Operating limits
If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt,
affecting distance measurements.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction when
shifting to reverse, one of these
warning lamps comes on on the instrument
panel, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Visiopark 1
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .


As soon as reverse gear is engaged with the
engine running, this system displays views of
your vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch
screen using a camera located at the rear of the
vehicle.




The screen is divided into two parts with a
contextual view and a view from above the
vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the information
on the view from above the vehicle.
Various contextual views may be displayed:
–
Standard view
.
–

180° view
.
–

Zoom view
.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses to display the
best view (standard or zoom).
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.

130
Driving
Principle of operation

Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the brackets) in real time and as the
manoeuvre progresses.
It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when
parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle
to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
Rear vision

To activate the camera, located on the tailgate,
engage reverse and keep the speed of the
vehicle below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The system is deactivated:
–

Automatically
, at speeds above approximately
12 mph (20
km/h),
–

Automatically
, if the tailgate is opened.
–

When changing out of reverse gear
.
–

By pressing the white arrow in the upper-left
corner of the touch screen.
AUTO mode

This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the automatic
view changes from the rear view (standard) to
the 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.

131
Driving
6The blue lines 1 represent the width of your
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their direction
changes according to the position of the steering
wheel.
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper; the two blue lines 3 and 4
represent 1
m and 2 m, respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
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 nearby obstacles.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
It is important to monitor the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
Parking sensors also provide additional
information about the area around the vehicle.
180° view

The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a
parking space, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out a
complete manoeuvre.
It features 3 areas: left A, centre B and right C. This view is only available via the view selection
menu.
Park Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids
.
This system provides active parking assistance:
it detects a parking space and then steers in the
appropriate direction to park in the space while
the driver controls the driving direction, gear
changes, acceleration and braking.
To help the driver monitor the manoeuvre,
the system automatically triggers the display
of
Visiopark 1 and activates the parking sensors.
The system measures the available parking
spaces and calculates the distances to obstacles
using ultrasonic sensors built into the front and
rear bumpers of the vehicle.


The system assists with the following
manoeuvres:
A. Entering a "parallel" parking space
B. Leaving a "parallel" parking space
C. Entering a "bay" parking space

132

Parking space search
► You should drive at a distance of between
0.50 m and 1.50 m from the row of parked
vehicles, without ever exceeding 19
mph
(30
km/h), until the system finds an available
space.
The parking space search stops over this limit.
The function automatically deactivates once the
vehicle speed exceeds 31 mph (50
km/h).
For ''parallel'' parking, the space must at
a minimum be equal to the length of your
vehicle plus 0.60 m.
For ''bay'' parking, the width of the space
must be equal to the width of your vehicle
plus 0.70 m.
If the parking sensors function has been
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle menu
of the touch screen, it will be automatically
reactivated when the system is activated.


When the system finds an available space, " OK"
is displayed on the parking view, accompanied
by an audible signal.

The maximum speeds during manoeuvres are
indicated by these symbols:
75 mph or 7 km/h, for parking space entry.
53 mph or 5 km/h, for parking space exit.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel performs rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel or put your hands between
the spokes of the steering wheel. Watch out
for any objects that could interfere with the
manoeuvre (loose clothing, scarf, tie, etc.).
Risk of injury!
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor the traffic, especially vehicles coming
towards you.
The driver should check that no objects or
people are obstructing the vehicle’s path.
The images from the camera(s) displayed on the touch screen may be
distorted by the terrain.
In shady areas, or in inadequate sunlight
or lighting conditions, the image may be
darkened and with lower contrast
The manoeuvre can be permanently interrupted

deactivates the function.
The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,
accompanied by the " Manoeuvre cancelled"
message on the touch screen.
A message prompts the driver to take back
control of the vehicle.
The function is deactivated after a few seconds; this warning lamp goes off and
the function returns to the initial display.
End of the parking space entry or exit
manoeuvre
The vehicle stops as soon as the manoeuvre is
completed.
The manoeuvring symbol is displayed in red
accompanied by the message “ Manoeuvre
completed” on the touch screen.
Deactivation of the function is confirmed
by this indicator lamp going off,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If entering a parking space, the driver may be
required to complete the manoeuvre.
Operating limits
– The system may suggest an inappropriate
parking space (parking prohibited, work in
progress with damaged road surface, location
alongside a ditch, etc.).

134
Driving
– The system may indicate that a space has
been found but will not offer it because of a fixed
obstacle on the opposite side of the manoeuvre,
which would not allow the vehicle to follow a
trajectory required for parking.
–

The system may indicate that a space has
been found but the manoeuvre will not be
triggered, because the width of the lane is
insufficient.
–


The system is not designed for performing the
parking manoeuvre on a sharp bend.
–


The system does not detect spaces that
are much larger than the vehicle itself or that
are delimited by obstacles that are too low
(pavements, studs, etc.) or too thin (trees, posts,
wire fences, etc.).
–


If the boot is heavily loaded, the tilt of the
vehicle towards the rear may interfere with the
distance measurements.
Do not use the function under the
following exterior conditions:
–

Alongside a soft shoulder (e.g. ditch) or
quay or on the edge of a drop.
–


When the road surface is slippery (e.g. ice).
If any of the following malfunctions
occurs, do not use the system:
–

If a tyre is under-inflated.
–


If one of the bumpers is damaged.
–


If one of the cameras is faulty
.
If the vehicle has undergone any of the
following modifications, do not use the
function:
–

When carrying an object extending beyond
the dimensions of the vehicle (ladder on the
roof bars, bicycle carrier on the tailgate, etc.).
–


With a non-approved towball in place.
–


With snow chains fitted.
–


When driving on a small-diameter or
"space-saver" type spare wheel.
–


When the wheels fitted are a different size
from the original ones.
–


After modifying one or both bumpers
(added protection).
–


If the sensors have been repainted other
than by the PEUGEOT

dealer network.
–

With sensors not approved for the vehicle.
Malfunctions
When the function is not activated, the
temporary flashing of this indicator lamp
and an audible signal indicate a system
malfunction.
If the malfunction occurs while the system is in
use, the indicator lamp goes off.
If the parking sensor malfunction
occurs during use, indicated by
one of these warning lamps coming on, it causes
the function to deactivate.
In the event of a malfunction, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a power steering
malfunction, this warning lamp is
displayed on the instrument panel, accompanied
by a warning message.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Full Park Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system provides active parking assistance
for vehicles fitted with the EAT8 automatic
gearbox or a gear selector: it detects a free
"parallel" or "bay" parking space and then
operates the vehicle, parking it with no need for
driver intervention. It also allows you to drive out
of a "parallel parking" space automatically.
The system controls the steering, direction,
acceleration and braking. The system measures
the available parking spaces and calculates
the distances to obstacles using 12 ultrasonic
sensors built into the front and rear bumpers of
the vehicle.
To help the driver monitor the successful
completion of the manoeuvre, the system
automatically displays the Visiopark 1 and
activates the parking sensors.
