Driving











Gear shift indicator *
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.


Operation

The system inter venes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

*
According to engine.

- You are in third gear.
Example:

- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a
higher gear, if appropriate.

The information appears in the instrument
panel screen in the form of an arrow
accompanied by the suggested gear.

In the case of driving which makes
par ticular demands on the per formance
of the engine (firm pressure on the
accelerator pedal, for example, when
over taking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging first gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.

Driving

In bad weather or in winter, 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 dir ty.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer tain sound
sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, etc.) may trigger the audible
signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event of a malfunction
of the system, when reverse
gear is engaged this warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal (shor t beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Operating fault

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 for ward gear, if no fur ther obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).








Front parking sensors



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).

Operation

When you have identified a parking space:


)
Engage a gear on a manual gearbox or put
the gear lever in position A
(electronic gear
control gearbox) or in position D
(automatic
gearbox).

)
Press button A
to star t the system.

)
Operate the direction indicator on the
side where the space is to be measured;
a message is displayed and the warning
lamp flashes to confirm that measurement
is in progress.

)
During measurement, go for ward the
length of the space, at a speed less than
12 mph (20 km/h), to prepare for your
manoeuvre.

)
Once the measurement has been
completed, the system informs you of
the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre
by a message in the multifunction screen
accompanied by an audible signal.

The system displays one of the following messages:


Parking possible


Parking difficult


Parking not advised


If the lateral distance between your
vehicle and the parking space is too
great, the system may not be able to
measure the space.

The system remains available after
each measurement and can therefore
measure several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are free of dir t, ice or snow.
The parking space sensor system
deactivates the front parking sensors
when measuring for wards.
If there is a fault, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The system switches itself off automatically:


- when you engage reverse gear,

- when you switch off the ignition,

- if measuring is not requested,

- within five minutes of switching on the
system,

- if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold
of 45 mph (70 km/h) for one minute.
