Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.


Using sensors located in the bumper, this
system signals the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear, which is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when disengaging
reverse gear.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
within the sensors’ detection zone.
Operating limits

Assist function is activated.
Malfunction
If the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet surface or
moving from a dry area to a wet area can
cause false alerts (for example, the presence
of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot can
be 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.
Active Blind Spot Monitoring System
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross a
lane marking with the direction indicators on, to
help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active
Lane Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot
Monitoring.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and 87 mph (65 and 140
km/h) inclusive.
These functions are especially suitable for
driving on motorways and main roads.
For more information on the Active Lane
Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot
Monitoring , refer to the corresponding sections.
This system is a driving aid which
cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

6Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.


Using sensors located in the bumper, this
system signals the proximity of obstacles
(e.g.
pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear, which is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when disengaging
reverse gear.
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.
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
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front
parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle
is still below 6 mph (10
km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if the
vehicle stops for more than three seconds in
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected
or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6
mph
(10
km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle in relation to
the vehicle, in the vehicle trajectory, in front or
behind.
Deactivation/Activation
It is set via the vehicle configuration 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

Visiopark 1
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 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.

124
Driving
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.
180° view

The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a
parking space, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out a
complete manoeuvre.
It features 3 areas: left A, centre B and right C.
This view is only available via the view selection
menu.
Park Assist
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.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
The Park Assist system cannot work with the engine off.


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.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel performs 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 interfere
with the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scarves,
ties, etc.)- risk of injury!
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. The function is
deactivated after these 4 cycles. If you think
that your vehicle is not positioned correctly,

125

by the system: do not touch the steering
wheel.
Assistance is deactivated: the display of this symbol indicates that the
steering manoeuvres are no longer controlled
by the system: you must take over the
steering.
You should always check the surroundings of your vehicle before
starting a manoeuvre.
The parking sensors function is not available during parking space
measurement. It intervenes later when
manoeuvring to warn you that your vehicle is
approaching an obstacle: the audible signal
becomes continuous when the obstacle is
less than thirty centimetres away.
