Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this 
warning lamp flashes for a few 
moments in the instrument panel, accompanied 
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.

Driving
 
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 
installed in accordance with the 
manufacturer's recommendations.
The parking sensors are deactivated while the 
Park Assist function is measuring a space.

Visiopark 1 - Visiopark 2
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
With the engine running, these systems allow 
views of your vehicle’s close surroundings to be 
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
 .
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.
►
 
Press the button in the bottom left-hand 
corner of the touch screen.

The display is immediately updated with the type 
of view selected.
The system status is not saved when the ignition 
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

6Park Assist
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system provides active parking assistance: 
it detects a parking space then operates the 
steering system to park in this space.
With a manual gearbox, the driver manages the 
accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch.
With an automatic gearbox (EAT6/EAT8), the 
driver manages the accelerator, brakes and 
gears.
During phases of entry into and exit from a 
parking space, the system provides visual and 
audible information to the driver in order to make 
the manoeuvres safe. Several forward and 
reverse manoeuvres may be required.
At any time, the driver can take back control by 
holding the steering wheel.
 
 
The Park Assist system provides assistance for 
the following manoeuvres:
A. Entry into a "parallel" parking space
B.Exit from a "parallel" parking space
C. Entry into a "bay" parking space
The Park Assist system cannot operate 
with the engine switched off.
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents 
Stop & Start from going into STOP mode. In 
STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts 
the engine.
The Park Assist system takes control of  the steering for a maximum of 4 
manoeuvring cycles. It is deactivated after 
these 4 cycles. If the vehicle is not positioned 
correctly, take back control to complete the 
manoeuvre.
The sequence of manoeuvres and the  driving instructions are displayed in the 
instrument panel.
The assistance is activated: the display  of this symbol and a speed limit 
indicate that the steering manoeuvres are 
controlled by the system: do not touch the 
steering wheel.
The assistance is deactivated: the  display of this symbol indicates that the 
steering manoeuvres are no longer controlled 
by the system: take over the steering.
Activation of Park Assist deactivates the  Blind spot monitoring.
The Parking sensors function is not available during parking space 
measurement. It intervenes later when 
manoeuvring to warn that the vehicle is 
approaching an obstacle: the audible signal 
becomes continuous when the obstacle is 
less than 30 centimetres away.
If the Parking sensors function has 
been deactivated, it will be automatically 
reactivated during the assisted manoeuvring 
phases.
During parking and exit from parking 
manoeuvres, the Visiopark 1 - Visiopark 
2 functions may come into operation. They 
allow better monitoring of the surroundings of 
the vehicle, by displaying additional 
information in the touch screen.
For more information on the  Visiopark 
1 - Visiopark 2
  functions, refer to the 
corresponding section.
In some circumstances, the sensors may 
not detect small obstacles located in their 
blind spots.
Any object exceeding the size of the vehicle 
(e.g.
  roof ladder, towball) is not taken 
into account by the Park Assist during a 
manoeuvre.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Driving
Always check the surroundings of the vehicle before starting a manoeuvre.
If the lateral distance between the vehicle and 
the space is too great, the system may not be 
able to measure the space.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering 
wheel performs rapid turns: do not hold 
the steering wheel or put your hands between 
the spokes of the steering wheel.
Beware of any object likely to block the 
manoeuvre (e.g.
  loose clothing, scarves, ties) 
- risk of injury!

Advice on care and  maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid 
damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in 
the engine compartment - risk of 
damaging the electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or 
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle in an 
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure 
to lock the doors and, depending on version, 
move the electronic key away and deactivate 
the "hands-free" function (Hands-Free 
Tailgate Access).
When using a pressure washer, keep the jet 
nozzle at a minimum distance of 30 cm from 
the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas 
containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing 
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's 
paintwork (including tree resin, bird 
droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).
Depending on the environment, clean the 
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits 
(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas) 
and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These 
substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop for advice on removing stubborn 
stains requiring special products (such as tar 
or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Interior
When washing the vehicle, never use a 
water hose or high-pressure jet to clean 
the interior.
Liquids carried in cups or other open 
containers can spill, presenting a risk of 
damage to the instruments and controls and 
the controls located on the centre console. Be 
vigilant!
To clean instrument panels, touch screens 
or other displays, wipe gently with a soft, 
dry cloth. Do not use products (e.g. alcohol, 
disinfectant) or soapy water directly on these 
surfaces - risk of damage!   CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Vehicle data recording and privacy
Vehicle data recording 
and privacy
Electronic control units are installed in your 
vehicle. These control units process data 
received from the vehicle's sensors, for example, 
or data they generate themselves or exchange 
with each other. Some of these control units are 
required for the correct operation of your vehicle, 
some others assist you while driving (driving or 
manoeuvring aids), while others provide comfort 
or infotainment functions.
The following contains general information about 
how data is processed within the vehicle.
You will find additional information about the 
specific data which is downloaded, stored 
and transmitted to third parties and what it is 
used for in your vehicle under the keyword 
"Data protection". This information is directly 
associated with the references for the functions 
in question contained in the corresponding 
vehicle handbook, or in the general terms and 
conditions of sale.
This information is also available online.
Vehicle operating data
The control units process the data used for the 
operation of the vehicle. 
This data includes, for example: 
– 
Information about the state of the vehicle 
(e.g.
  speed, travel time, lateral acceleration, 
wheel rotation rate, fastened seat belts display).  –
 
Environmental conditions (e.g.
   temperature, 
rain sensor, distance sensor). 
As a general rule, this data is temporary, is 
not stored for longer than one operating cycle 
and is only used within the vehicle itself. The 
control units often record this data (including the 
vehicle's key). This function allows either the 
temporary or permanent storage of information 
about the state of the vehicle, stresses on 
components, servicing requirements, as well as 
events and technical errors. 
Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, the 
data stored is as follows: 
–  
Operating state of system components 
(e.g.
   filling level, tyre pressures, battery charge 
status). 
–  
Faults and malfunctions in important system 
components (e.g.
   lamps, brakes). 
–  
System reactions in specific driving situations 
(e.g.
   deployment of an airbag, triggering of 
stability control and braking systems). 
–  
Information about events which have 
damaged the vehicle. 
–
  
For electric and rechargeable hybrid vehicles, 
the traction battery charge level and the 
estimated driving range. 
In particular circumstances (e.g.
   if the vehicle 
has detected a malfunction), it may be necessary 
to record data which would otherwise simply not 
be stored. 
When taking your vehicle in for servicing 
(e.g.
  repairs, maintenance), the stored operating 
data may be read along with the vehicle's  identification number and used if necessary. 
The personnel working for the servicing network 
(e.g.
  garages, manufacturers) or third parties 
(e.g.   roadside assistance agents) may read 
the vehicle's data. This also applies to work 
carried out under warranty and quality assurance 
measures. 
This data is generally read via the OBD 
(On-Board Diagnostics) port fitted by law to 
the vehicle. It is used to report on the technical 
state of the vehicle or its components and 
facilitates the diagnosis of malfunctions, in 
compliance with warranty obligations and for 
quality improvement. This data, in particular the 
information relating to stress on components, 
technical events, operator errors and other 
malfunctions, is sent to the Manufacturer, if 
necessary, along with the vehicle's identification 
number. The Manufacturer's liability may also be 
engaged. The Manufacturer may also use the 
operating data taken from the vehicle for product 
recalls. This data may also be used to check the 
customer's warranty and any claims made under 
warranty. 
Any malfunctions stored in the vehicle may be 
reset by an after-sales service company during 
servicing or repair work, or at your request.    CarM an uals 2 .c o m
