Parking sensors
The audible (front and rear) and visual (rear)
parking sensor system consists of proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper.
The sensors detect any obstacle which enters
its field of operation (person, vehicle, tree,
fence, etc.) behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the beginning of the
manoeuvre will no longer be detected at the
end of the manoeuvre due to the blind spots
between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or pavement
post.
Engage reverse gear
An audible signal confirms the activation of the
system on engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately 30

centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
Display in the screen
The audible signal is supplemented by the
display of bars in the screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle. When the
obstacle is very close, the "Danger" symbol is
displayed in the screen.
Stopping the assistance
Change to neutral.
Switching off the assistance
Press; the indicator lamp comes on.
The state of the system is stored when the
vehicle is switched off.
Resuming assistance
Press again; the indicator lamp goes off.
If this warning lamp comes on
when reverse gear is engaged,
accompanied by a message and/or
an audible signal, a fault has been
detected.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed or if
a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with
a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended
by PEUGEOT).
The parking sensor system cannot in
any circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed on the touch screen.
The reversing camera function may be
supplemented with parking sensors.They are represented by lines marked "on
the ground" and do not allow the position of
the vehicle to be determined relative to tall
obstacles (for example: other vehicles, etc.).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the gap represents the width of
your vehicle except for the door mirrors).
The red lines represent a distance of about
30
cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines represent distances of about 1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.
The superimposed representation of guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre. The reversing camera cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not direct
the lance within 30
cm of the camera lens.
Opening the tailgate causes the display to
disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.

Park Assist
The system detects a parking space and then
provides assistance with the parallel parking
manoeuvres.
It controls the steering and provides visual and
audible information to the driver.
The driver manages the accelerator, brakes,
gears and the clutch in the case of a manual
gearbox.
The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.The Park Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle ensuring that the space remains
clear during the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel per forms rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could block
the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scar ves,
ties, etc.) – Risk of injury! For entry into a parallel parking space the
system does not detect spaces which are
clearly much smaller or larger than the
size of the vehicle.
The "Parking sensors" function activates
automatically during the manoeuvres, it is
possible that a warning lamp illuminates
on the screen, accompanied by an audible
signal, without affecting the parking.
Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres, winter
tyres, etc.) can inter fere with the correct
operation of the parking assistance
system.
When the Park Assist is active, it prevents
the Stop & Start going into STOP mode.
In STOP mode, activating Park Assist
restarts the engine.
Entering a parallel parking
space
F Once you have detected an available space,
limit the speed of the vehicle to 12 mph
(20


km/h).
F

P

indicator lamp goes off.
These warning lamps indicate a fault
with the power steering.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle
and the space is too great, the system may
not be able to measure the space.
Anything projecting beyond the dimensions
of the vehicle is not taken into account by
the Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.
In bad weather and in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by road dirt,
ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Under-inflation detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure (including the spare
wheel) every month as well as before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on Identification
markings , including in particular the tyre
pressure label, refer to the corresponding
section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
In the contrary case(hot), add 0.3
bar to
the values indicated on the label.
Under-inflation alert
This is indicated by fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, an audible
signal and, depending on the
equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.
F

R

educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking. The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not be satisfied with just a visual
check.
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F
i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F
i
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
F

S
top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.

Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
Without touch screen
F With the ignition on and the vehicle stationary, press this button for about
3
seconds then release it, an audible signal
confirms the reinitialisation.
With touch screen
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Ser vice warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
After carrying out any work on the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
Initialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.
The guide-me-home lighting can be
configured in the menu Driving /
Vehicle.
The new pressure parameters saved are
treated as reference values by the system.

Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank:
- approximately 50
litres (petrol engines).
-


approximately 50
litres (Diesel engines).
-


approximately 45


litres (Diesel BlueHDi
engines).
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel. There remains
approximately 5


litres of fuel in
the tank. When the warning lamp
flashes, there is ver y little fuel left .
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel) , refer to the associated section.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
Refuelling
A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type. To refuel in complete safety:
F

Y
ou must switch off the engine.
F
O
pen the fuel filler flap 1.
F
I
nsert the key in the cap 2
, then turn it to the
left, F
F
ill up the tank but do not continue after
the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle ; this could
cause malfunctions.
When you have finished filling the tank:
F

R

efit the filler cap.
F

T

urn the key to the right, then remove it from
the cap.
F

C

lose the fuel filler flap.
The key cannot be removed from the lock
until the cap is refitted.
Opening the filler cap may result in an
inrush of air. This is entirely normal and
results from the sealing of the fuel system.
If you have added the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, the fuel tank must be
drained and filled with the correct fuel
before star ting the engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5

litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
