when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a

on their person, the vehicle unlocks as they
approach and locks when they walk away.
Key recognition zones:


Zone A: welcome lighting on approaching
the vehicle (between 3 and 5 metres from the
vehicle).
Zone B: automatic locking on leaving the vehicle
(about 2
metres from the vehicle).
Zone C: automatic unlocking and welcome
lighting on approaching the vehicle (between 1

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.

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.
