T
 urn the ring rear wards to switch the 
foglamps off; the sidelamps will then switch 
of f. In good or rainy weather, by both day 
and night, using the front foglamps and 
the rear foglamp is prohibited. In these 
situations, the power of their beams may 
dazzle other drivers. They should only be 
used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your 
responsibility to switch on the foglamps 
and dipped headlamps manually as the 
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient 
light.
Do not forget to turn off the front foglamps 
and the rear foglamp as soon as they are 
no longer necessary.
Switching off the lighting when the 
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the 
lamps turn off immediately, except for 
dipped beam if automatic guide-me-home 
lighting is activated.
Switching on the lighting after 
switching off the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, 
rotate the ring to the "0" position – lighting 
off, then to the desired position.
When the driver's door is opened, a 
temporary audible signal warns you that 
the vehicle's lighting is on.
The lighting, with the exception of the 
sidelamps, switches off automatically after 
a maximum duration of thirty minutes to 
prevent discharging of the battery.
Daytime running lamps
(Depending on the country of sale.)
When starting the vehicle, the daytime running 
lamps come on automatically, if the lighting 
control is in the "0" position.
The daytime running lamps go off 
when the sidelamps, dipped beam 
or main beam headlamps are 
switched on.
This function cannot be deactivated.

Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective, 
observe the safety recommendations 
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting 
position.
Fasten your seat belt, ensuring it is 
positioned correctly.
Do not leave anything between the 
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, 
object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything 
close to the inflation trajectory of the 
airbags; this could cause injuries during 
their deployment.
Never modify the original layout of your 
vehicle, particularly in the area directly 
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has 
been stolen or broken into, have the 
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be 
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned 
are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor 
burns to the head, chest or arms when an 
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. 
The bag inflates almost instantly (within 
a few milliseconds) then deflates within 
the same time discharging the hot gas via 
openings provided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its 
spokes or resting your hands on the centre part 
of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the 
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags 
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a 
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or 
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering 
wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries 
with deployment of the airbags.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, 
compatible with the deployment the lateral 
airbags. For information on the variety of 
seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you can 
contact a PEUGEOT
  dealer.
Do not attach anything to or hang anything 
from the seat backrests (clothes, etc.) as this 
could cause injuries to the thorax or arm when 
the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any 
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side 
impact sensors. A damaged door or any unauthorised or 
incorrectly executed work (modification or 
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim 
could compromise the operation of these 
sensors – risk of malfunction of the lateral 
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Never select position N while the vehicle 
is moving.
Never select position P or R unless the 
vehicle is completely stationary.
Reverse gear
When selecting reverse R with the ignition 
on, the rear parking sensors are activated 
automatically.
For more information on Rear parking 
sensors, refer to the corresponding section.
Autonomous traction function 
(moving without using the 
accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the 
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic 
jams, etc.).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released 
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle 
moves  as soon as you take your foot off 
the brake pedal (even without pressing the 
accelerator).
Sport and snow programmes
These two special programmes supplement the 
automatic operation in very specific conditions 
of use.
Sport programme "S"
For maximum acceleration without touching 
the selector, press the accelerator pedal down 
fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down 
automatically or maintains the gear selected 
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down 
automatically to provide efficient engine 
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the 
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for 
safety reasons.

F Press the " T" button, after starting the 
engine.
The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery 
roads.
This programme improves starting and traction 
when grip is poor.

Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the 
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four 
tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the wheel 
speed sensors with reference values, which 
must be reinitialised ever y time the tyre 
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it 
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more 
tyres.
The under-inflation detection system does 
not replace the need for vigilance on the 
part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to 
check the tyre pressures (including the 
spare wheel) every month as well as 
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres worsens 
road-holding, lengthens braking distances, 
causes premature wear of the tyres, 
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy 
loads, high speeds, long journeys). Driving with under-inflated tyres 
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for your 
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure 
label.
For more information on the 
Identification markings , refer to the 
corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the tyres 
are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or 
after a journey of less than 6
  miles (10   km) 
at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3
  bar to the pressures 
shown on the label.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by 
continuous illumination of this 
warning lamp, an audible signal and 
a message displayed on the screen. F
 
R
 educe speed immediately, avoid excessive 
steering movements and sudden braking.
F  
S
 top as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not 
always cause visible bulging of the tyre. 
Do not rely on a simple visual check.
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. If it is not possible to make this check 
immediately, drive carefully at reduced 
speed. 
or
F  
I
 n the event of a puncture, use the 
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare 
wheel (depending on equipment).
The warning remains active until the 
system is reinitialised.Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any 
adjustment to the pressures of one or more 
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.

Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control fault, the speed 
is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes. 
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.When the cruise control is switched on, 
be careful if you maintain the pressure on 
one of the programmed speed changing 
buttons: this may result in a very rapid 
change in the speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery 
roads or in heavy traffic.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise 
control system cannot prevent the vehicle 
from exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
 
E
 nsure that mats are secured correctly.
-
 
D
 o not fit one mat on top of another.
Rear parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an 
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) 
entering the field of detection of sensors 
located in the bumper.
Due to blind spots, obstacles of certain types 
(posts, roadworks cones, etc.) which were 
detected initially will no longer be by the end of 
the operation.
This system cannot in any circumstances replace 
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse 
gear. It is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out 
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an 
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which 
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or 
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is 
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and 
the obstacle becomes less than approximately 
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes 
continuous.
6 
Driving  
Page 100 of 260
98
This supplements the audible signal by 
displaying 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.
Deactivation/Activation
The function is deactivated or activated via the 
vehicle configuration menu.
With audio system
The parking sensors can be 
configured in the "Personalisation 
– Configuration " menu.
With touch screen
The parking sensors can be 
configured in the Driving /Vehicle  
menu.
The function will be deactivated 
automatically if a trailer is being towed or 
a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with 
a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended 
by PEUGEOT).
Operating fault
In the event of a system fault when 
engaging the reverse gear, this 
warning lamp is displayed in the 
instrument panel and/or a message 
appears in the screen, accompanied 
by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop to have the 
system checked. In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the 
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or 
snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an 
audible signal (long beep) indicates that 
the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle, 
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger 
the audible signals of the parking sensor 
system.

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.
The superimposed representation of guide 
lines helps with the manoeuvre.
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 turquoise blue cur ves represent the 
maximum turning circle.
The reversing camera is only an aid and the 
driver must remain cautious at all times.
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.
