Tyre under-inflation 
detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre 
pressure while driving.
The system continuously monitors the 
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the 
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of 
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it 
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more 
tyres.This system does not eliminate the need 
to check the tyre 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.
Tyre pressure 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, add 0.3
  bar (30   kPa) to the 
values indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification 
markings , including the tyre pressure 
label, refer to the corresponding section.

concerned are reinflated, repaired or 
replaced.

Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed 
illumination of this under-inflation 
warning lamp accompanied by the 
illumination of the Ser vice warning 
lamp, and depending on equipment, 
the display of a message indicates a 
fault with the system.
In this case, the pressure in the tyres is no 
longer monitored.
This alert is also displayed when one or 
more wheels are not fitted with a sensor 
(for example, a space-saver or steel spare 
wheel).
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked or, 
following the repair of a puncture, to have the 
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
Tyre under-inflation 
detection with 
reinitialisation
The system monitors the pressure in all four 
tyres, as soon as 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 once a drop in 
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system does 
not replace the need for vigilance on the 
part of the driver.

When changing the programmed 
reference speed by means of a maintained 
press, remain vigilant as the speed can 
increase or decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery 
roads or in heavy traffic.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise 
control system cannot prevent the vehicle 
from exceeding the programmed speed.
The cruise control system cannot in 
any circumstances replace the need 
to obser ve speed limits or the need for 
vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the 
pedals.
To avoid any jamming under the pedals:
- 
e
 nsure that the mat is positioned and 
secured to the floor correctly,
-
 
n
 ever fit one mat on top of another.
Active City Brake
Active City Brake is a driving assistance 
system that aims to avoid a frontal collision 
or reduce the speed of an impact if the driver 
does not react sufficiently (inadequate brake 
application). This system has been designed to 
improve driving safety.
The driver must always check the traffic 
and assess the distance and relative 
speed of other vehicles.
Active City Brake cannot in any 
circumstances replace the need for 
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Never look at the laser sensor through 
an optical instrument (magnifying glass, 
microscope, etc.) at a distance of less 
than 10
  centimetres: risk of eye injury!
Principle
Using a laser sensor located at the top of the 
windscreen, this system detects a vehicle 
running in the same direction or stationary 
ahead of your vehicle.Automatic braking occurs later than if 
done by the driver, so as to inter vene only 
when there is a high risk of collision.
Conditions of activation
Active City Brake functions if the following 
conditions are met:
-
 
t
 he ignition is on,
-
 
t
 he vehicle is moving for ward,
-
 
t
 he speed is between 3 and 19   mph (5 and 
30
 
km/h),
-
 
t
 he braking assistance systems (ABS, 
EBFD, EBA) have not failed,
-
 
t
 he trajectory control systems (ASR, DSC) 
are not deactivated or faulty,
-
 
t
 he vehicle is not making a sharp turn,
-
 
t
 he system has not triggered in the last ten 
seconds.
If necessary, the vehicle's braking system is 
operated automatically to avoid a collision with 
the vehicle ahead. 
Driving  

121
Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or 
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly, the 
system automatically applies the brakes to 
avoid a collision.
You are then warned by the display of a 
message.
Your vehicle's brake lamps come on to warn 
other road users.The collision can be avoided if the speed 
difference between your vehicle and 
the one ahead is not more than 9
  mph 
(15
 
km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will do 
what is possible to avoid or reduce the 
accident by lowering the speed of impact.
The automatic braking can bring the vehicle to 
a complete stop if the situation requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held stationary 
temporarily (for about 1.5
  seconds) to allow 
the driver to take back control by pressing the 
brake pedal.
Unless the driver presses the clutch 
quickly enough during automatic braking, 
triggering of the system may cause the 
engine to stall. During automatic braking, the driver can 
always obtain a higher rate of deceleration 
than that controlled by the system, by 
pressing firmly on the brake pedal.
After an impact, the system is 
automatically put out of ser vice: it no 
longer operates.
You must go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop to have the system 
made operational again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that are 
stationary or moving in the same direction as 
your vehicle.
It does not detect small vehicles (bicycles, 
motorcycles), pedestrians or animals, nor 
non-reflective stationary objects.
This system will not trigger or will be interrupted 
if the driver:
-
 
a
 ccelerates hard
-
 
o
 r turns the steering wheel sharply 
(avoidance manoeuvre). When weather conditions are difficult 
(extremely heavy rain, snow, fog, hail, 
etc.), braking distances increase, which 
may reduce the system’s ability to avoid a 
collision.
The driver must therefore remain 
particularly cautious.
Never let snow build up on the bonnet 
or any object beyond the bonnet or the 
front of the roof: this could enter the 
field of vision of the sensor and obstruct 
detection.Deactivation
The system is deactivated in the vehicle 
configuration menu, accessible with the ignition 
on.
Its status is stored when the ignition is switched off.
When the system is deactivated, a 
message is displayed every time the 
ignition is switched on, to warn you.

Operating faults
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may suffer 
inter ference from accumulations of dirt or 
misting of the windscreen. In this case you are 
warned by the display of a message.
Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean 
the area of the windscreen in front of the 
sensor. Do not stick or other wise attach any object 
on the windscreen in front of the sensor.
System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, you 
are warned by an audible signal and the display 
of the message " Automatic braking system 
fault ".
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of an impact to the 
windscreen at the sensor, deactivate the 
system and contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop
  to have your 
windscreen replaced. Do not attempt to remove, adjust or test 
the sensor.
Only a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop is able to work on the system.
When towing a trailer or when the vehicle 
is being towed, the system must be 
deactivated.
Parking sensors
The audible (front and rear) and/or visual (rear) 
parking sensor system consists of proximity 
sensors installed in the bumpers.
They detect any obstacle which enters the 
field of vision (person, vehicle, tree, fence, 
etc.) behind or in front of the vehicle during the 
manoeuvre. 
Driving  

123
Certain objects detected at the beginning of the 
manoeuvre will no longer be detected at the 
end of the manoeuvre due to the blind spots 
between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or pavement 
post.
Engage reverse gear
An audible signal confirms the activation of the 
system by engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by an 
audible signal which becomes more rapid as 
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of 
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than 
approximately 30
 
centimetres, the audible 
signal becomes continuous.
Display in the screen
Engage a forward gear
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 remains below 6
  mph (10   km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or 
rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in 
front or behind.
Stopping the assistance
Change to neutral.
Activation/Deactivation 
Operating fault
In the event of a an operating fault, the LED 
in the button comes on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message on the screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop. In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the 
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or 
snow.
You activate or deactivate the system by 
pressing this button.
The activation or deactivation of the system is 
stored when the vehicle stops.

The system will be deactivated 
automatically if a trailer is being towed or if 
a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with 
a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended 
by PEUGEOT).
The parking sensor system cannot in 
any circumstances replace the need for 
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Reversing camera
The image is displayed in the touch screen.
The reversing camera function may be 
supplemented with parking sensors.The reversing camera cannot, in any 
circumstances, replace the need for 
vigilance on the part of the driver. The representation with overlaid lines helps 
with the manoeuvre.
They are represented as lines marked "on the 
ground" and do not indicate the position of tall 
obstacles (for example: other vehicles, etc.) 
relative to the vehicle.
Some distortion of the image is normal.
Blue lines represent the general direction of the 
vehicle (the distance between them represents 
the width of your vehicle without the door 
m i r r o r s).
The red line represents a distance of about 
30
  cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear 
b u m p e r.
The green lines represent distances of about 1 
and 2
  metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's 
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue cur ves represent the 
maximum turning circle.
Opening the tailgate will cause the display 
to disappear.
High pressure washing
When washing your vehicle, do not direct 
the lance from less than 30
  cm from the 
lens of the camera.
Clean the reversing camera regularly 
using a soft, dry cloth.
It is advisable to deactivate the system if 
your vehicle is fitted with a rear ladder or if 
you are transporting a load longer than the 
length of the vehicle.
The reversing camera is activated automatically 
when reverse gear is engaged.
