– In certain cases, when a wheel of the vehicle
hits a pavement or a low obstacle.
–

T
riggering of anti-slip regulation on a slippery
road.
–

Sudden appearance in the field of the
manoeuvre of an obstacle not detected by the
system before the manoeuvre was started,
with the obstacle remaining for more than 30
seconds.
–


After 10 manoeuvres to enter or exit a
"parallel" parking space and after 7 manoeuvres
to enter a "bay" parking space,
–


System malfunction during the manoeuvre.
Abandoning the manoeuvre immediately
triggers the vehicle’

s brakes and automatically
deactivates the function.
This symbol is displayed accompanied by the message "Manoeuvre aborted".
A message prompts the driver to take back
control of the vehicle.
The function is deactivated after a few seconds; this indicator lamp goes off and
the initial display is resumed.
The system automatically engages gearbox
mode P after 4 seconds.
End of manoeuvre
The vehicle stops as soon as the manoeuvre is
completed.
This symbol is displayed accompanied by the message "Manoeuvre completed".
When the function is deactivated, this
indicator lamp goes off and the original
display is restored.
–

If entering a parking space, the driver may
be required to complete the manoeuvre.
The gearbox changes to


P
4 seconds after
completion of the manoeuvre.
–

When exiting a parking space, the gearbox
changes to

N when the manoeuvre is complete.
A message and symbols prompt the driver to
take back control of the vehicle.
The gearbox automatically changes to mode
P if no action is taken by the driver within 30
seconds.
Operating limits
– The system may suggest an inappropriate
parking space (parking prohibited, work in
progress with damaged road surface, location
alongside a ditch, etc.).
–

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 does not allow the vehicle to follow the
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 to perform parking
manoeuvres on a steep slope or on a sharp
curve.
– 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.).
–

The system may be impaired by incorrect
inflation of the vehicle’

s tyres.
–

The tilting of the vehicle if the boot is heavily
loaded can affect the distance measurements.
Do not use the function under the
following exterior conditions:
–

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


When the road surface is slippery (ice).
Do not use the function in the presence
of one of the following malfunctions:
–

If a tyre is under-inflated.
–


If one of the bumpers is damaged.
–


If one of the cameras is faulty
.
–

If the brake lamps are not working.
Do not use the function if the vehicle has
been subject to one of the following
modifications:

–


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 outside
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 Full Park Assist
malfunction.
If the malfunction occurs while in use, the
indicator lamp goes off.
If the parking sensor malfunction occurs
during Full Park Assist use, indicated by
this warning lamp coming on, the function is
deactivated.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a power steering
malfunction, this warning lamp lights up
on the instrument panel, accompanied by a
message.
You must stop the vehicle.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and
switch off the ignition.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

177
Practical information
7Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers
very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
Check regularly that the terminals are correctly
tightened (versions without quick-release
terminals) and that the connections are clean.
For more information on the precautions
to take before any work on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out only by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Passenger compartment
filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter
can adversely affect air conditioning
system performance and generate
undesirable odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of clogging of the particle filter is
indicated by the temporary lighting of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an alert
message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 37
mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice
water vapour coming from the exhaust while
accelerating. These emissions have no
impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the
environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles

only.
►

Refit the bolt covers to each of the bolts
(depending on equipment).
►


Store the tools.
After changing a wheel
With a "space-saver" type spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions
(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control,
etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum authorised
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) or the maximum
distance of 50 miles (80 km).
Driving with more than one "space-saver"
type spare wheel is prohibited.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Have the tightening of the spare wheel's bolts
and its tyre pressure checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must
be replaced.
Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Never look too closely at the light beam
of LED technology lamps - risk of serious
eye injury!

The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses with a protective coating:
–

Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products.
–


Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
–


When using a high-pressure washer on
persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the headlamps, lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to damage
their protective coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp /
lamp has been switched off for several
minutes - risk of serious burns!
Do not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers; use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
of the same type and specification. To avoid
lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.
Refitting the lamp units
Perform the operations in the reverse
order to dismantling.

192
In the event of a breakdown
Direction indicators
Rapid flashing of the indicator lamp for a
direction indicator (left or right) indicates
that one of the bulbs on the corresponding
side has failed.


► Turn the connector a quarter turn
anti-clockwise.
► Pull the bulb connector.
► Remove the bulb and replace it.
Amber-coloured bulbs must be replaced
by bulbs with identical specifications and
colour.
Light-emitting diode (LED)

Depending on version, the affected types of
headlamps/lamps are:
–

Full LED technology headlamps.
–


Offset daytime running lamps.
–


Direction indicator side repeaters.
–

Event data recorders
12Event data recorders
Electronic control units are installed in your
vehicle. Control units process data which is
received by vehicle sensors, for example, or
which they generate themselves or exchange
amongst themselves. Some control units are
necessary for the safe functioning of your
vehicle, others assist you while you drive (driver
assistance systems), while others provide
comfort or infotainment functions.
The following contains general information about
data processing in the vehicle. You will find
additional information as to which specific data is
uploaded, stored and passed on to third parties
and for what purpose in your vehicle under
the key word Data Protection closely linked
to the references for the affected functional
characteristics in the relevant owner's manual
or in the general terms of sale. These are also
available online.
Operating data in the
vehicle
Control units process data for operation of the
vehicle.
This data includes, for example:
–
vehicle status information (e.g. speed,
movement delay

, lateral acceleration, wheel
rotation rate, "seat belts fastened" display)
–

ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain
sensor

, distance sensor) As a rule such data is transient and is not stored
for longer than an operational cycle, and only
processed on board the vehicle itself. Often
control units include data storage (including the
vehicle key). This is used to allow information
to be documented temporarily or permanently
on vehicle condition, component stress,
maintenance requirements and technical events
and errors.
Depending on technical equipment levels, the
data stored is as follows:
–

system component operating states (e.g. fill
level, tyre pressure, battery status)
–

faults and defects in important system
components (e.g. lights, brakes)
–

system reactions in special driving situations
(e.g. triggering of an airbag, actuation of the
stability control systems)
–

information on events damaging the vehicle
–

for electric vehicles the amount of charge in
the high-voltage battery
, estimated range
In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle has detected
a malfunction), it may be necessary to save data
that would otherwise just be volatile.
When you use services (e.g. repairs,
maintenance), the operating data saved can
be read together with the vehicle identification
number and used where necessary. Staff
working for the service network (e.g. garages,
manufacturers) or third parties (e.g. breakdown
services) can read the data from the vehicle.
The same applies to warranty work and quality
assurance measures. Data is generally read via the OBD (On-Board
Diagnostics) port prescribed by law in the
vehicle. The operating data read documents the
technical condition of the vehicle or individual
components and assists with fault diagnosis,
compliance with warranty obligations and quality
improvement. This data, in particular information
on component stress, technical events, operator
errors and other faults, is transmitted to the
manufacturer where appropriate, together
with the vehicle identification number. The
manufacturer is also subject to product liability.
The manufacturer potentially also uses operating
data from vehicles for product recalls. This data
can also be used to check customer warranty
and guarantee claims.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be reset by a
service company when carrying out servicing or
repairs or at your request.
Comfort and infotainment
functions
Comfort settings and custom settings can be
stored in the vehicle and changed or reset at any
time.
Depending on the equipment level in question,
these include
–

seat and steering wheel position settings
–


chassis and air conditioning settings
–


custom settings such as interior lighting
Y

ou can input your own data in the infotainment
functions for your vehicle as part of the selected
features.
