REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE
This system, installed in the rear
bumper, detects any obstacle (per
son, vehicle, tree, gate, kerb...)
located behind the vehicle.
To activate
With the engine running, the sys
tem is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged; a bleep
sounds to inform you that it is
active.
The proximity information is
given by an audible signal, con
sisting of bleeps which become
more and more rapid as the vehi
cle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obsta
cle is less than approximately
twentyfive centimetres, the
signal becomes con
tinuous.The system ceas
es to be active
when you change
to neutral. TYRE UNDERINFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure
during driving, and trigger a warn
ing if there is a malfunction (speed
greater than 15 mph (25 km/h).
Tyre underinflation
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied
by a bleep and the mes
sage 'Tyre(s) pressure
low', have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
Display of this warning
light, accompanied by an
audible signal and the
message 'Punctured
tyre(s) detected', is followed by
illumination of the STOPwarning
light.
Stop immediately, avoiding all
abrupt manoeuvres with the
steering wheel and the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured
or very underinflated) wheel and
have the tyre pressure checked
as soon as possible.
Note: if the damaged wheel is
stored temporarily in the boot, it
will again send this message as a
reminder of the necessity of hav
ing it repaired. This will prevent a
similar warning being displayed. Sensor(s) not detected
Display of this warning
light, accompanied by an
audible signal and the
message 'X tyre pres
sure sensor(s) missing', indi
cates that one or more wheels
are not being detected.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
replace the faulty sensor(s).
Warning: this message is dis
played when one of the wheels is
at a distance from the vehicle
(being repaired) or when a wheel
without a sensor is fitted (winter
fitting).
This system does not eliminate
the need to check the tyre
pressure regularly.
