Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen whose location
represents the distance between the obstacle
and the vehicle (white: more distant, orange:
close, red: very close).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the
vehicle is below 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front parking sensor operation is suspended if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected
or the vehicle speed exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle relative to
the vehicle, whether in front of or behind it on
its path.

6Operating principle



When an approaching obstacle is detected, the
symbol 1 or 2 flashes on the touch screen, in the
Parking sensors view or in the various contextual
views of the Visiopark 1 or Visiopark 2 functions
(depending on version).
The symbol is complemented by an audible
signal when the vehicle is reversing.
An obstacle is approaching in the blind spot on the rear right-hand/
left-hand side or on both sides of the vehicle.
In the event of a malfunction of these functions
or of the touch screen, or if the driver deactivates
the views from these functions on the touch
screen, detection of an approaching obstacle
is still indicated by the audible signal when the
vehicle is reversing.
Activation/Deactivation
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
The system's status is saved when the ignition is
switched off.
Operating limits
The system may not work in the following cases:
– T owing a trailer.
–

Using a bicycle carrier on a towing device.
–


Extreme temperature changes.
–


If the rear bumper is damaged.
–


Accumulation or
projection of external
elements (e.g.
mud, ice, snow), application of
stickers.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay in control of your
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
If the rear bumper is to be repainted,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop; certain types of paint could
interfere with the operation of the radars.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction when

Towing device
Load distribution
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance.
The maximum towable load
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000
metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and wiring
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. We
recommend having them fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, they must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Important: if the vehicle has a motorised
tailgate and Hands-Free Tailgate Access
function, and a towing device has been fitted
outside the PEUGEOT dealer network, it
is essential to visit a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop to have the detection
system recalibrated
- risk of malfunction of the
Hands-Free Tailgate Access function.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
For more information about driving with a
towing device fitted to a trailer and associated
with the Trailer stability assist, refer to the
corresponding section.
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, on the
manufacturer's label and in the Technical
data section of this guide.
