Programming
Your vehicle may also include some functions 
that can be activated/deactivated:
– automatic windscreen wipers,
–  rear wiping on engaging reverse gear.
The system will be operational as soon 
as you exceed 16 mph (25   km/h).
If the speed drops below 9 mph (15
  km/h), the 
system no longer operates.
 
 
Activation/Deactivation
Activation and deactivation  are done via the vehicle 
configuration menu.
When deactivated, the lighting system changes 
to "automatic illumination of headlamps" mode.
The state of the system stays in the memory 
when switching off the ignition.
Operation
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the 
traffic conditions do not allow the main beam 
headlamps to be lit:
– The dipped beam headlamps 
remain lit.  These indicator lamps 
come on on the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is very low and traffic 
conditions permit:
– The main beam headlamps 
come on automatically . These 
indicator lamps come on on the instrument 
panel.
The function is deactivated if the fog lamps are 
switched on or the system detects dense fog.
When the fog lamps are switched off or the 
vehicle leaves the area of dense fog, the function 
is automatically reactivated.
This indicator lamp goes out when the  function is deactivated.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp 
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
► A "headlamp flash" pauses the 
function and the system changes to 
"automatic illumination of headlamps" mode:
–
 
if the "AUT
 O" and "Dipped beam" indicator 
lamps were on, the system changes to main 
beam,
–
 
if the "AUT
 O" and "Main beam" indicator 
lamps were on, the system changes to dipped 
beam.
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps 
again.
The system may suffer interference or  not work correctly:
–
 
under conditions of poor visibility (snow
 , 
heavy rain, etc.),
– if the windscreen in front of the camera is 
dirty , misted or obscured (for example, by a 
sticker, etc.),
–
 
if the vehicle is facing highly reflective 
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it 
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
–
 
road users that do not have their own 
lighting, such as pedestrians,
–
 
vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for 
example: vehicles running behind a safety 
barrier on a motorway),
–
 
vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep 
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Clean the windscreen regularly, 
particularly the area in front of the 
camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can 
also become misted around the camera. 
In humid and cold weather, demist the 
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the 
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could 
obstruct the detection camera.

Driving
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the 
surroundings of the vehicle before and during 
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the 
mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the 
associated functions may be impaired through 
the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.), in 
certain difficult weather conditions (very heavy 
rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop; 
certain types of paint could interfere with the 
operation of the radar.
 
 
Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions 
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen 
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty, 
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or 
masked by a sticker.
On versions with camera alone, this message 
indicates to you that the camera is obstructed: 
"Driving aids camera: visibility limited, see 
user guide".
In humid and cold weather, demist the 
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting, 
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle 
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun, 
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel, 
alternating shade and light) can also impair 
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to recalibrate the camera; 
otherwise, the operation of the associated 
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s) 
displayed on the touch screen or on the 
instrument panel may be distorted by the 
relief.
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.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors as well as 
the associated functions may be disturbed 
by sound interference such as that emitted 
by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries, 
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of 
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the 
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible 
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors 
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can 
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not 
always detected by the system: distance 
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect 
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs) 
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind 
spots may not be detected or may no longer 
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound 
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and 
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure, 
direct the spray from at least 30
  cm away 
from the sensors and cameras.
Mats
The use of mats not approved by 
PEUGEOT may interfere with the operation of 
the speed limiter or cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
►  ensure that the mat is secured correctly,
►  never fit one mat on top of another.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed 
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are 
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is 
stationary, set the display to the required 
units of speed so that it complies with what is 
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
Speed Limit Recognition 
and Recommendation
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
This system displays the maximum authorised 
speed in the instrument panel, according to 
the speed limits in the country in which you are

6The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or 
prevent it from working:
–
 
poor visibility (inadequate lighting of the 
road, falling snow
, heavy rain, dense fog, 
etc.);
–
 
dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, 
low sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a 
tunnel, alternating shade and light, etc.);
–
 
windscreen area located in front of the 
camera: dirty
, misted, frost-covered, snow-
covered, damaged or covered by a sticker.
–
 
lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow
 , 
mud) or multiple (roadworks, etc.);
–
 
close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings 
not detected);
–
 
roads that are narrow
 , winding, etc.
In certain driving conditions (poor road 
surface or strong winds), the system may 
give alerts independent of the driver's level of 
vigilance.

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.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse 
gear, which is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when disengaging 
reverse gear.
Audible assistance 
 
The system signals the presence of obstacles 
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone 
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of 
the steering wheel.
 
 
Depending on version, in the example shown, 
only the obstacles present in the shaded area 
will be signalled by the audible assistance.
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.   

128
Driving
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
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 
forward 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 the vehicle trajectory, in front or 
behind.
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.
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.
The objects memorised during the  manoeuvre will no longer be stored after 
switching off the ignition.
