6Audible assistance 
 
The function signals the presence of obstacles 
present 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) 
allows you to identify the side on which the 
obstacle is located.
Visual assistance 
 
 
 
This supplements the audible signal by 
displaying bars on the screen that move 
progressively nearer to the vehicle (green: more 
distant obstacles; yellow: close obstacles; red: 
very close obstacles).
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, in front or behind it.
Deactivation/Activation

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).

left corner of the touch screen.
AUTO mode 
 
This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the automatic 
view changes from the rear view (standard) to 
the view from above (zoom) as an obstacle is 
approached at the level of the red line (less than 
30
  cm) during a manoeuvre.
Standard view 
 
The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the 
screen.
The blue lines  1 represent the width of your 
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their direction 
changes according to the position of the steering 
wheel.
The red line  2 represents a distance of 30   cm 
from the rear bumper; the two blue lines  3 and 4 
represent 1
  m and 2   m, respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the 
view selection menu.
Zoom view 
 
The camera records the vehicle's surroundings 
during the manoeuvre in order to create a 
view from above the rear of the vehicle in its 
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be 
manoeuvred around nearby obstacles.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the 
view selection menu.
Obstacles may appear further away than 
they actually are.
It is important to monitor the sides of the 
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the 
mirrors.
Parking sensors also provide additional 
information about the area around the vehicle.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Practical information
The fluids must comply with the Manufacturer's requirements and with 
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the  bonnet, as certain areas of the engine 
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the 
cooling fan could start at any time (even with 
the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or  fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and 
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into 
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved 
for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine  having been switched off for at least 30 
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil 
level indicator in the instrument panel when the 
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped 
with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two 
services (or oil changes). It is recommended 
that you check the level, and top up if necessary, 
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the 
engine and emissions control system, 
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer 
to the illustration of the corresponding engine 
compartment.
►
 
Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and 
pull it out completely
.
►
 
Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, 
lint-free cloth.
 
 
► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, 
then pull it out again to visually check the oil 
level: the correct level is between marks
 
A
  (max) 
and
  B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
–
 
above mark
   A: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop.
–
 
below mark
  
B
 : top up the engine oil 
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the 
engine oil, check that the oil is suitable 
for your engine and complies with the 
recommendations in the service schedule 
supplied with the vehicle (or available 
from your PEUGEOT dealer or qualified 
workshop).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate 
your warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please 
refer to the corresponding engine compartment 
illustration.
►
 
Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills 
on engine components (risk of fire).
►
 
W
 ait a few minutes before checking the level 
again using the dipstick.
►
 
T
 op up the level if necessary.
►
 
After checking the level, carefully screw the 
oil filler cap back on
  and replace the dipstick in 
its tube.
The oil level indication displayed on the  instrument panel when the ignition is 
switched on is not valid for 30 minutes 
following an addition of oil.   CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these 
components in accordance with the 
Manufacturer's service schedule and according 
to your engine.
Otherwise, 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 with 
special technology and specifications.
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 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.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m

The drive selector does not require any maintenance.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel 
or decreased effectiveness, the parking 
brake must be adjusted, even between two 
services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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 
used in town, over short distances. It may be 
necessary to have the condition of the brakes 
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the 
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads 
are worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in  wintry conditions, ice can form on the 
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may 
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and 
defrost them.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any information on checking brake 
disc/drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres,  including the spare wheel, must be 
checked on "cold" tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure 
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven 
for more than 10
  minutes or more than 6 miles 
(10
 
kilometres) at over 31 mph (50   km/h), add 
0.3
 
bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the 
label.
Under-inflation increases energy 
consumption. Non-compliant tyre 
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely 
and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's 
road holding - risk of accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the 
braking and road holding performance of the 
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the 
tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as 
the presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set 
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is 
less than 1.6
  mm; replace the tyres as soon as 
possible.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those 
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel 
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer 
reading and have an adverse effect on road 
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles 
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres 
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer 
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away 
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be 
identified by this symbol on their 
sidewalls.
