INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Water in Diesel * .
If this is displayed, it indicates
the presence of water in the
Diesel fi lter.
There is a risk of damage to the injection
system on Diesel engines. Automatic headlamp
adjustment.
If this is displayed, it indicates the
occurrence of a fault in the auto-
matic headlamp adjustment.
Particle emission fi lter (Diesel).
If this is displayed, linked with
the service warning lamp, it in-
dicates the start of saturation
of the particle emission fi lter or a low
Diesel additive reservoir level.
As soon as traffi c conditions permit, re-
generate the fi lter by driving at a speed
of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the
service warning lamp is switched off.
If the service warning lamp is still dis-
played, the additive level is low. Have it
topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer with-
out delay.
Under-infl ated tyre.
If this is displayed, it indicates
low pressure in one or more
wheels.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible.
Punctured tyre.
If this is displayed, it indicates
that one or more wheels are
punctured. Stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
Change the damaged wheel and have it
repaired by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Tyre under-infl ation
detection.
If this is displayed, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault on one
of the sensors or in the tyre under-infl a-
tion detection system.
It may also indicate the absence of a
sensor when the spare wheel, which
does not have a sensor, is fi tted in place
of a punctured wheel.
Automatic lighting.
If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a fault in the au-
tomatic lighting.
Use the other positions of the lighting
stalk to control the lighting manually.
Visual and/or audible
parking sensors.
If this comes on, in forward and/
or reverse gear, it indicates a fault
in the parking sensor system.
Automatic gearbox.
If this is displayed, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in the
automatic gearbox. The gear-
box will then operate in down-grade
mode, locked on 3rd gear.
It may also be displayed if a door is
opened.
Invalid value.
If this is displayed, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in the
programme of the automatic
gearbox.
Position P or N.
If this is displayed, it indicates
that the gear lever must be
placed in position
P or N in or-
der to start the engine.
* According to country.
Power steering.
If this is displayed, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in the
power steering. Stop the vehicle
as soon as it is safe to do so.

SAFETY
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically and contin-
uously checks the pressure of the tyres
while driving. All repairs and changing of tyres on
a wheel fi tted with this system must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
by your vehicle (example: fi tting
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
This system does not avoid the
need to have the tyre pressures
checked regularly (refer to the
"Identifi cation markings" section) to
ensure that the optimum dynamic
performance of the vehicle is main-
tained and prevent premature wear
of the tyres, particularly in arduous
driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnetic
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of problem (speed
above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
This warning lamp is displayed on the in-
strument panel and/or a message appears
on the multifunction screen, accompanied
by an audible signal, to locate the wheel
concerned.

 Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres are
cold.

Under-infl ated tyre
The STOP warning lamp comes on
and/or this warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel, accom-
panied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen
locating the wheel concerned.

 Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoid-
ing any sudden movement of the steering
wheel and the brakes.

 Repair or change the damaged wheel
(punctured or very defl ated tyre), and
have the tyre pressure checked as soon
as possible.
Puncture
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to
be vigilant or to drive responsibly. Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears on the multifunction screen,
accompanied by an audible signal, to
locate the wheel or wheels which are not de-
tected or to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fi tted.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
spare wheel, this is not fi tted with
a sensor.

DRIVING
PARKING SENSORS
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the fi eld of detection
of sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, road-
works cone, etc.) detected initially will
no longer be detected at the end of the
manoeuvre due to the presence of blind
spots. This function cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver. Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by
a discontinuous audible signal, the fre-
quency 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 ap-
proximately thirty centimetres, the audi-
ble signal becomes continuous.
The system is switched on by engaging
reverse gear. This is accompanied by
an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you
exit reverse gear.
This supplements the audible signal by
displaying segments in the multifunc-
tion screen which move progressively
nearer to the vehicle. When the obsta-
cle is near, the "Danger" symbol is also
displayed in the screen.

DRIVING
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 sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle is
in front or behind.
The front parking sensors are interrupted
if the vehicle stops for more than three
seconds in forward gear, if no further ob-
stacles are detected or when the speed
of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Deactivation/Activation of the front
and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing
this button. The indicator lamp on the
button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates
the function. The indicator lamp on the
button switches off. Deactivation/Activation of the rear
parking sensors
The function will be deactivated au-
tomatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle car-
rier recommended by PEUGEOT). Operating fault
If an operating fault occurs,
when reverse gear is engaged
this warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/or
a message appears on the screen, ac-
companied by an audible signal (short
bleep).
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long bleep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at
a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h),
certain sound sources (motorcy-
cle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may
trigger the audible signals of the
parking sensor system.
The function is deactivated
or activated via the vehicle
confi guration menu.
The status of the function
is stored when the ignition
is switched off.
For more information on
access to the parking sen-
sors menu, refer to the section covering
the confi guration of vehicle systems.
