6Do not leave the vehicle while it is being 
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle 
with the engine running, apply the parking 
brake manually. Then check that the parking 
brake indicator lamp and the  P indicator lamp 
in the electric parking brake control are on 
fixed.
The hill start assist function cannot be  deactivated. However, using the parking 
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its 
operation.

gearbox.
–
 
If mode 
 D or M is selected on an automatic 
gearbox.
–
 
If mode 
 D or B is selected on the drive 
selector.
 
 
Facing downhill, with the vehicle stationary 
and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held 
for a short time when the driver releases the 
brake pedal.
Malfunction
If the event of a malfunction, these 
warning lamps light up on the 
instrument panel, accompanied by the display of 
a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

6Invalid value during manual 
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between 
two positions).
►
 
Place the selector "correctly" at a position.
Switching off the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, select position 
P then apply the parking brake to immobilise 
the vehicle, unless this is set to automatic mode 
(with electric parking brake).
Check that mode
  P has been engaged and that 
the electric parking brake has been applied 
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
The corresponding indicator lamps in the 
selector and the electric parking brake control 
lever must be on, as well as those on the 
instrument panel.
A point of resistance may be noticed  when moving to position  P.
If the selector is not in position P, when the 
driver's door is opened or approximately 45 
seconds after the ignition is switched off, 
an audible signal sounds and a message 
appears.
►
 
Return the drive selector to position  P
; 
the audible signal stops and the message 
disappears.
When positioned on a steep slope with a 
loaded vehicle,  depress the brake 
pedal, select position P, apply the parking 
brake, unless it is set to automatic mode (with 
electric parking brake), then release the brake 
pedal.
In all circumstances, ensure that the 
selector is in position  P before leaving 
your vehicle.
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, a message appears on 
the instrument panel to indicate a fault with the 
gearbox.
In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up 
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may feel a 
significant jolt (without risk to the gearbox) when 
changing from
 
P
 to R and from N to R.
Do not exceed 62 mph (100
  km/h), local speed 
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damaging the gearbox: –  If the accelerator and brake pedals are 
depressed simultaneously
.
–
 
In the event of a battery failure, forcing the 
selector from position  P
 to another position.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox, 
do not try to start the engine by pushing 
the vehicle.
Drive selector (Electric) 
 
The drive selector is a pulse selector with a 
regenerative braking function.
The drive selector provides traction control 
based on the driving style, the road profile and 
the vehicle load.
With regenerative braking activated, it also 
manages engine braking when the accelerator 
pedal is released.
P. Park
Button for parking the vehicle: the front 
wheels are locked (the button lights up to 
indicate that it is activated).
R. Reverse
To engage reverse gear, with your foot on the 
brake pedal.   

164
Driving
Brake system operational.
Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on roads with no or low 
curvature.
This warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel without any additional 
message, to indicate that the automatic braking 
system is not available.
This is a normal behavior indicating that a 
condition is not fulfilled and which does not 
request the support of a workshop.
In any situations with ignition on where automatic 
braking presents a risk, deactivating the 
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is 
recommended, for instance:
–
 
T
owing a trailer (particularly a trailer without its 
own braking system).
–
 
Carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack.
–
 
Driving with snow chains.
–
 
Using an automatic car wash.
–
 
Performing any maintenance (e.g.
   changing a 
wheel, working inside the engine compartment).
–
 
Placing the vehicle on a rolling bench in a 
workshop.
–
 
T
owing the vehicle.
–
 
Following a front bumper deformation.
–
 
Following 
 an impact to the windscreen close to 
the detection camera.
The system diagnoses permanently its  capability and may inhibit itself without 
specific driver indication, if the system is 
outside of the regular operating conditions 
(e.g. sensor initialization, board voltage out of 
regular range, activation of stability system).
Therefore, the system may not be available 
just after starting the vehicle.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake 
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The driver must not overload the vehicle  (keep within the GVW limit and load 
height limits for roof bars).
Following an impact (e.g.   a collision), the 
system is automatically deactivated.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver if there is a risk 
of collision with the preceding vehicle, or with a 
pedestrian or cyclist.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity 
with which the function warns of the risk of 
collision.
The threshold is set via the vehicle  configuration menu with the audio 
system or touch screen.
►
 
Select one of the three pre-defined 
thresholds: "
Far", "Normal" or "Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when 
the ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the collision risk detected by the 
system and the alert trigger threshold chosen 
by the driver, different levels of alert may be 
triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.
The system takes into account the vehicle 
dynamics, the difference speed of the own 
vehicle and the object identified for the 
collision risk, and the operation of the vehicle 
(e.g.
  actions on the pedals, steering wheel) to 
trigger the alert at the most relevant moment.
(orange)
Level 1: visual alert only, warning that the 
preceding vehicle is very close.
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.
(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning 
that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake! " is displayed.
While approaching a vehicle too quickly, 
the level 2 alert may be displayed 
directly.
Important: the level 1 alert depends on the 
trigger threshold selected. It reacts only on 
moving vehicles. It is disabled automatically 
at lower speed.   

166
Driving
The brake pedal may feel hard and vibrate slightly while the function is 
operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, 
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2 
seconds.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated 
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via the  vehicle configuration menu.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by 
the illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by the display of a message.
Malfunction
This warning lamp lights up on the  instrument panel with the message 
"Sensor blind " in certain cases.
Version with camera only: the system is 
deactivated.
Version with camera and radar: the system 
may continue to operate in a degraded mode.
This may be caused by a reduced visibility 
(e.g.
 
rain, fog, snow, blinding by low sun) or by 
a real sensor blockage. In this case, stop the 
vehicle and verify if the front camera or the front 
radar is covered by dirt, snow, ice or anything 
preventing the sensing.
In the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp lights up on the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the display of a message and 
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
If these warning lamps come on after the 
engine has been switched off and then 
restarted, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop to have the system checked.
These warning lamps light up on  the instrument panel and/or in the 
warning lamp display for seat belts and front 
passenger airbag to indicate that the driver's 
and/or front passenger's seat belt is not fastened 
(depending on version). The automatic braking 
system is deactivated until the seat belts are 
fastened.
Lane departure warning 
system
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
System that uses a camera to recognise 
continuous or broken lines on traffic lanes and 
triggers an alert if the vehicle wanders off line. 
If the direction indicator is not used at speeds 
above 50 mph (80
  km/h) and there is a risk of 
one of these lines on the road surface being 
crossed, the system triggers the alert.
This system is particularly useful on motorways 
and main roads.
Detection - Alert

Visiopark 1
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
As soon as reverse gear is engaged with the 
engine running, this system displays views of 
your vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch  screen using a camera located at the rear of the 
vehicle.
 
 
 
 
The screen is divided into two parts with a 
contextual view and a view from above the 
vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the information 
on the view from above the vehicle.
Various contextual views may be displayed:
–  
Standard view
 .
–
 
180° view
 .
–
 
Zoom view
 .
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view 
to display
  (standard or zoom).
You can change the type of view at any time 
during a manoeuvre.
The system status is not saved when the ignition 
is switched off.
Principle of operation 
 
Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close 
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres 
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close 
surroundings is reconstructed (represented 
between the brackets) in real time and as the 
manoeuvre progresses.
It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when 
parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle 
to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the 
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
The display disappears above  approximately 6 mph (10   km/h).
The system is automatically deactivated 
about 7 seconds after coming out of reverse 
or on opening a door or the boot.
Activation
Activation is automatic on engaging reverse gear 
at a speed lower than 6 mph (10   km/h).

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 traffic conditions allow, regenerate 
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37
  mph 
(60
 
km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500 
rpm, for about 15 minutes (until the warning lamp 
goes out).
If it is not possible to reach 37
  mph (60   km/h), 
leave the engine running at idle for about 15 
minutes, then drive with an engine speed
  above 
2,500 rpm for 15 minutes.
Do not switch off the engine until the filter 
is fully regenerated; repeated intervals 
can degrade the engine oil prematurely.
Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is 
stationary is not recommended.
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.
