Driving
6In certain driving conditions (poor road
surface or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's level of
vigilance.
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–
lane markings absent, worn, hidden
(e.g.
snow, mud, dead leaves) or multiple
(roadworks).
–
close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings
not detected).
–
roads that are narrow
, winding.
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 a potential
danger posed by the presence of another vehicle
(car, lorry, motorcycle) in the vehicle's blind
spots (areas hidden from the driver's field of
vision) using sensors located on the sides of the
bumpers.
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the
side in question:
–
fixed
, immediately, when being overtaken.
–
flashing , after a delay of about one second,
when overtaking a vehicle slowly
, and when the
direction indicator is used.
Operation
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon as
a vehicle - car, lorry, bicycle - is detected.
The following conditions must be met for this:
–
all vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes,
–
the speed of your vehicle must be between 7
and 87 mph (12 and 140
km/h), –
you overtake a vehicle with a speed difference
of less than 6 mph (10
km/h),
–
a vehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 16 mph (25
km/h),
–
the traffic is flowing normally
,
–
overtaking a vehicle over a certain period of
time where the vehicle being overtaken remains
in the blind spot,
–
you are driving on a straight or slightly curved
road,
–
your vehicle is not towing a trailer
, a caravan,
etc.

No alert will be given in the following situations:
– in the presence of non-moving objects (parked
vehicles, safety barriers, street lamps, road
signs, etc.),
–
with vehicles moving in the opposite direction,
–
driving on a winding road or sharp bends,
–
when overtaking or being overtaken by a very
long vehicle (lorry
, bus, etc.) which is both in the
rear blind spot and present in the driver’s front
field of vision,
–
when overtaking quickly
,
–
in very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry or a
stationary object.

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.

Driving
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
With dashboard button
► To deactivate or activate the system, press
this button.
The indicator lamp is on when the system is
deactivated.

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.

Practical information
Load reduction mode
This system manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates certain
functions, such as the air conditioning and the
heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels.
They must never be fitted to "space-saver"
type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Only use chains that have been designed for the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle.

225/55 R17
You can also use snow socks.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
►
Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
►
Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer
.
►
Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31
mph (50 km/h).
►
Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
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.
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. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
189
Practical information
7If using accessories attached to the
towing device (e.g. bicycle carriers, tow
boxes):
–
Comply with the maximum authorised nose
weight.
–
Do not transport more than 4 conventional
bicycles or 2 electric bicycles.
When loading bicycles onto a bicycle carrier
on a towball, be sure to place the heaviest
bicycles as close as possible to the vehicle.
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Electric motor
An electric vehicle may be fitted with a
towing device.
It is therefore possible to tow a trailer or
caravan.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified
workshop for more information and to obtain a
suitable towing device.
Roof bars/Roof rack
As a safety measure and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the roof bars and roof racks approved for your
vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars and racks.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each
trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer
needed.
As this value may change, please verify the maximum load quoted in the guide
supplied with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to
avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings
on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
Roof bars
A maximum of 3 roof bars (or 2 bars for the
version with panoramic sunroof) can be installed
- use the positions marked in green.

®
intermediate top-ups of 5
litres or more.
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty
– which is confirmed by the message
“Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible ” – it is
essential to add at least 10
litres.
Top-up detection may not be instantaneous
after addition. It may take a few minutes of
driving before the top-up detection is effective.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, it is necessary to put the
vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on
a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode),
rail or sea transport).
The procedure varies according to the type of
gearbox and parking brake.
Never leave the vehicle unattended with
