(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.
It is possible that collision warnings are 
not given, are given too late or seem 
unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of the 
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time 
to avoid an accident.
Intelligent emergency 
braking assistance (iEBA)
This function increases vehicle deceleration 
if the driver does not brake enough to avoid a 
collision.
This assistance is only provided if the driver 
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake 
 
This function, also called "automatic emergency 
braking", intervenes after the acoustic alert if the 
driver does not operate the brake pedal quickly 
enough.
The system aims at reducing the speed of 
impact or avoiding a collision if the driver fails to 
react.
The speed will be reduced by a  maximum of 16 mph (25   km/h) (versions 
with camera only) or by a maximum of 31 
mph (50
  km/h) (versions with camera and 
radar).
Operation
The system operates subject to the following 
conditions:
–
 
At reduced speed in an urban environment, 
when a stationary vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist 
is detected.
–
 
The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and 
53 mph (10
  km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with 
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions 
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle 
is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for  approximately 10 seconds) as soon as 
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.
During the flashing time, the function is not 
available.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of 
automatic emergency braking, keep the brake 
pedal depressed, also after a complete stop is 
reached, to prevent the vehicle from rolling away.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic 
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a 
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can override the automatic  emergency braking at any time by firmly 
turning the steering wheel and/or firmly 
depressing the accelerator pedal.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m

6The 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.
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.
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.
Distraction detection
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Depending on version, the function consists of 
either the "Driver Attention Warning" system 
alone or combined with the "Driver Attention 
Warning by Camera" system.
These systems are in no way designed  to keep the driver awake or to prevent 
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel. 
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling 
tired.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least 
every 2 hours.
Activation/Deactivation
This function is set via the touch screen  Driving/Vehicle menu.
The state of the system is memorised when the 
ignition is switched off.
Driver Attention Warning
The system triggers an alert when it  detects that the driver has not taken a 
break after two hours of driving at a speed above 
43 mph (70   km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message 
encouraging the driver to take a break, 
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert 
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following 
conditions is met:
–
 
With the engine running, the vehicle has been 
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
–
 
The ignition has been switched off for a few 
minutes.
–
 
The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their 
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle  drops below 43   mph (70   km/h), the 
system goes into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once 
the speed reaches above 43
  mph (70   km/h).
Driver Attention Warning by 
Camera
Depending on version, the Driver Attention 
Warning system may be combined with the 
Driver Attention Warning by Camera system.

by the Service warning lamp coming on and the 
display of a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
The system may be temporarily disturbed  by certain climatic conditions (e.g.   rain, 
hail).
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 
sensors 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 front and rear bumpers with adhesive 
labels or other objects; they may hamper 
correct operation of the system.

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 
within the sensors’ detection zone.
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 signalDepending on version, with 
PEUGEOT Connect Radio or 
PEUGEOT Connect Nav, pressing this button 
opens the window for adjusting the volume of 
the audible signal.
Visual assistance 
 
This supplements the audible signal by 
displaying bars on the screen that represent 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.
Deactivation/Activation
The settings are changed via  the   Driving/Vehicle   touch screen menu.
The system status is memorised when the 
ignition is switched off.
The rear parking sensors system will be  deactivated automatically if a trailer or 
bicycle carrier is connected to a towing device

displayed on the touch screen using one camera 
for Visiopark 1 and two cameras for Visiopark 2.
 
 
 
 
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

is switched off.
Operating principle 
 
Using one or two cameras, the close 
surroundings of the vehicle are recorded whilst 
manoeuvring 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.
With Visiopark 2, the image is created using 
both cameras, when going forward and when 
reversing.
When the function is activated, it is possible 
that the view from above is not displayed. If   CarM an uals 2 .c o m
