"Hold the wheel" –

If, while correcting the trajectory
, the system detects
that the driver has not held the steering wheel for a few
seconds, it stops correcting and returns control to the
driver.
– If, while correcting the trajectory , the system determines
that the correction will not be enough and that a solid line
will be crossed (orange line): the driver is warned that they
must provide additional trajectory adjustment.
The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple
corrections are performed in quick succession. The
warning will become continuous, persisting until the driver
responds.
This message may also be displayed if you have your
hands on the steering wheel.
Operating limits
The system goes into standby automatically in
the following cases:
–

ESC deactivated or operation triggered.
–


Speed below 43 mph (70
km/h) or greater
than 112 mph (180
km/h),
–

Electrical connection of a trailer
.
–

Use of a"space-saver" spare wheel detected
(as detection is not immediate, deactivation of
the system is recommended).
–


Dynamic driving style detected, pressure on
the brake or accelerator pedal.
–


Driving where there are no lane markings.
–


Activation of the direction indicators.
– Crossing the inside line on a bend.

The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–

Insufficient contrast between the road
surface and the side of the road (e.g. shade).
–


Lane markings worn, hidden (snow
, mud)
or multiple (roadworks, etc.),
–

Roads that are narrow
, winding.
Risk of undesirable operation
We recommend deactivating the system in the
following driving situations:
–
driving on damaged, unstable or very slippery
(ice) road surfaces,
–


unfavourable weather conditions,
–


driving on a speed circuit,
–


driving on a rolling road.

Driving
6Rear view

To activate the camera located on the tailgate,
engage reverse gear and do not exceed a speed
of 6 mph (10 km/h).
The system is deactivated:
–

If a trailer is attached or a bicycle carrier
is fitted on a towing device (vehicle fitted
with a towing device installed in line with the
manufacturer's recommendations).
–


Automatically
, at speeds above approximately
6 mph (10
km/h),
–

Automatically
, if the tailgate is opened.
–

Upon changing out of reverse gear (the image
remains displayed for 7

seconds).
–

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. The 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.

124
Driving
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 then operates the
steering system to park in this space.
With a manual gearbox, the driver manages the
accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch.
With an automatic gearbox (EAT6/EAT8), the
driver manages the accelerator, brakes and
gears.
During phases of entry into and exit from a
parking space, the system provides visual and
audible information to the driver in order to make
the manoeuvres safe. Several forward and
reverse manoeuvres may be required.
At any time, the driver can take back control by
holding the steering wheel.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
The Park Assist system cannot work with the engine off.


The Park Assist system provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:
A. Entry into a "parallel" parking space.
B. Exit from a "parallel" parking space.
C. Entry into a "bay" parking space.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel performs rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could interfere
with the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scarves,
ties, etc.)- risk of injury!
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents
Stop & Start from going into STOP mode.
In STOP mode, activation of Park Assist
restarts the engine.
The Park Assist system takes control of the steering for a maximum of 4
manoeuvring cycles. The function is
deactivated after these 4 cycles. If you think
that your vehicle is not positioned correctly,

125
Driving
6you should then take over the steering to
finish the manoeuvre.
The sequence of manoeuvres and the driving instructions are displayed on the
touch screen.
Assistance is activated: the display of this symbol and a speed limit indicate
that the steering manoeuvres are controlled
by the system: do not touch the steering
wheel.
Assistance is deactivated: the display of this symbol indicates that the
steering manoeuvres are no longer controlled
by the system: you must take over the
steering.
You should always check the surroundings of your vehicle before
starting a manoeuvre.
The parking sensors function is not available during parking space
measurement. It intervenes later when
manoeuvring to warn you that your vehicle is
approaching an obstacle: the audible signal
becomes continuous when the obstacle is
less than thirty centimetres away.
If you have deactivated the parking sensors,
they are automatically reactivated during
assisted parking manoeuvres.
Activation of Park Assist deactivates the Blind Spot Monitoring.
Operation
Assistance with "parallel" parking manoeuvres
When you have located a parking space:► Select "Park Assist" in the Vehicle/
Driving menu, then the Driving
functions tab on the touch screen to activate the

workshop.
Malfunctions
This warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the lateral distance between your
vehicle and the space is too great, the
system may not be able to measure the
space.
Any object exceeding the dimensions of the
vehicle is not taken into account by the Park
Assist system during a manoeuvre.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by dirt, ice
or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

During a "bay" parking manoeuvre, the
Park Assist system is automatically
deactivated once the rear of the vehicle is
within 50
cm of an obstacle.
