Night Vision
This system identifies and signals the presence
of pedestrians and animals in the driver's field
of vision, in low exterior light conditions, using
an infrared camera located at the front of the
vehicle.
Select the "Night vision " display mode if you
want the infrared camera image to be displayed
constantly on the instrument panel. When the
conditions are met, an alert is triggered if there is
a risk of collision.
The permanent
display disappears upon
switching off the ignition or if the conditions are
not met.
This system is a driving aid system that cannot, under any circumstances,
replace the driver's assessment of night-time
visibility and traffic conditions.
In some cases, the differences in temperature
are insufficient and the system may not detect
all dangers or, conversely, it may give false
warnings (e.g. engines of lorries parked by
the side of the road).

Front intermittent wiping
In Intermittent mode, the driver can adjust the
wiping frequency by turning the ring to one of the
5 available positions.


The first (upper) position corresponds to the
longest time interval between 2 wipes for light
rain.
The last (lower) position corresponds to the
shortest time interval between 2 wipes for heavy
rain.
A rotation of the ring from a higher position to a
lower position triggers a confirmation wiping.
After the ignition has been switched off for more than 1 minute with the wiper
control stalk in the INT, 1 or 2
position, when
the ignition is switched on again:
–

the system works as soon as the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), if the outside
temperature is below +3°C.
–


the system works immediately
, if the
outside temperature is above +3°C.
Automatic windscreen wipers
In AUTO mode, the front wipers work
automatically and adapt to the intensity of
precipitation depending on the sensitivity of the
sensor selected.
The rainfall detection function uses a rain/
sunshine sensor located at the top centre of the
windscreen, behind the rear view mirror.
In certain weather conditions (e.g. fog,
frost, snow , projections on salty roads),
the driver may have to return to manual
wiping.
Switching on/off
To switch on:
► Put the wiper control stalk in the AUT
O
position.
►

T
urn the ring to adjust the sensitivity of the
sensor.
A wiping cycle, accompanied by the display of
a message, confirms that the request has been
taken into account.
►

T
o switch off, put the wiper control stalk in
another position or in the 0 position.
Adjusting the sensitivity

The first position (upper) corresponds to the
lowest sensitivity of the sensor.
The last position (lower) corresponds to the
highest sensitivity of the sensor.
The higher the sensitivity, the faster the system
reacts and increases the wiping frequency.
A rotation of the ring from a higher position to a
lower position triggers a confirmation wiping.
After the ignition has been switched off
for more than 1 minute with the wiper
control stalk in the AUTO position, when the
ignition is switched on again:
–

the system works, depending on the
volume of rain detected, as soon as the
vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), if the
outside temperature is below +3°C.
–


the system works immediately
, depending
on the volume of rain detected, if the outside
temperature is above +3°C.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor.
When using an automatic car wash,
switch off the automatic wipers and the
ignition.
In winter, wait until the windscreen is
completely clear of ice before activating the
automatic wipers.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the automatic wipers, the
wipers operate in intermittent mode.

Driving
6Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the door and interior
mirrors, always leave your feet close to the
pedals and take a break every 2 hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar(s)
The operation of the radar(s), along with
any associated functions, may be affected
by the accumulation of dirt (e.g.
mud, ice),
in poor weather conditions (e.g.
heavy rain,
snow), by the masking of the detection zone
with adhesive labels or other objects, or if the
bumpers are damaged.
If the front or 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 radar(s).
Take care not to cover the detection zones
on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may hamper
correct operation of the associated system.


Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or
masked by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (e.g.
inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(e.g.
headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low
sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a
tunnel, alternating shade and light) can also
impair detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s)
displayed on the touch screen or on the
instrument panel may be distorted by the
terrain.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well as
any associated functions, may be disrupted
by noise pollution such as that emitted by
noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance

Long-distance blind spot
monitoring
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system warns the driver of vehicles
approaching rapidly from the rear in adjacent
lanes (up to around 75
m) and of the presence of
a vehicle in the blind spots of their vehicle, using
corner radars located in the rear bumper.
This system takes into account vehicles such as cars, lorries and motorcycles by
monitoring the blind spots or areas hidden
from the driver's field of vision.


A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the
side in question:
–

Fixed
, immediately when another vehicle is in
the blind spot or is approaching in an adjacent
lane.
–

Flashing , after about 1

second when the
direction indicator is used.
Activation/Deactivation
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
When starting the vehicle, the
warning lamp
comes on in each mirror to indicate that the
system is activated.
The status of the system is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towing device
approved by PEUGEOT.
Operating conditions
– All vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes.
–

When overtaking a vehicle, the speed
difference is less than 9

mph (15 km/h).
– Traffic is flowing normally.
– Overtaking a vehicle over a certain period of
time and the vehicle being overtaken remains in
the blind spot.
Operating limits
No alert is triggered in the following conditions:
– presence of stationary objects (e.g. parked
vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs).
–

vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.
–


if the rear bumper is damaged.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
This system does not replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. Always
check in the mirrors and look over your
shoulders before changing lanes 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
If the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message.

Driving
6The system may be temporarily disturbed by certain weather conditions (e.g. heavy
rain, hail or extreme temperature changes).
In particular, driving on a wet road or going
from a dry to a wet area can cause false
alerts (e.g.
presence of a cloud of water
droplets in the blind spot interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the

radars are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors, or the detection zones on
the rear bumper, with adhesive labels or
other objects; they may hamper the correct
operation of the system.
Parking sensors
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system detects and signals the proximity of
obstacles (e.g.
pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier)
using sensors located in the bumper.
Rear parking sensors
► Engage reverse gear to start the system
(confirmed by an audible signal).
The system is switched off when reverse gear is
disengaged.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of
the steering wheel.


Depending on version, in the example shown,
only the obstacles present in the shaded area
will be signalled by the audible assistance.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
Adjusting the audible signalPressing this button opens the
window for adjusting the volume
of the audible signal.
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). CarM an uals 2 .c o m
