Driving
In bad weather and in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered by road dirt, ice or snow. In the event of a fault, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the system is deactivated during a manoeuvre, the drive should reactivate it manually to repeat the measurement.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle and the space is too great, the system may not be able to measure the space. Anything projecting beyond the envelope of the vehicle (long or wide load) is not taken into account by the Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.
Deactivation
A message is displayed in the screen.
The driver then takes back control of the vehicle's steering.
The system is deactivated automatically: - on switching off the ignition, - if the engine stalls, - if no manoeuvre is started within 5 minutes of selection of the type of manoeuvre, - after a prolonged stop of the vehicle during a manoeuvre, - if the road wheel anti-spin regulation (ASR) is triggered, - if the speed of the vehicle exceeds the stated limit, - when the driver interrupts movement of the steering wheel, - if the driver presses the Park Assist control, - if correct positioning of the vehicle is not possible (too many manoeuvres needed to insert or extract the vehicle), - if the driver's door is open, - if one of the front wheels encounters an obstacle.
Switching off
The system is switched off automatically: - when towing a trailer, - if the driver's door is opened, - if the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph (70 km/h). To switch the system of for a prolonged period, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating faults
In the event of a fault with the system, this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep). The indicator lamp in the control flashes for a few seconds. If the problem occurs while using the system, the indicator lamp goes off.

Visibility
In good or rainy weather, both day and night, the front foglamps and the rear foglamp are prohibited. In these situations, the power of their beams may dazzle other drivers. They should only be used in fog or snow. In these weather conditions, it is your responsibility to switch on the foglamps and dipped beam headlamps manually as the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light. Do not forget to switch off the front foglamps and the rear foglamp when they are no longer necessary.
Switching on the lamps after the ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the ring to the "0" position - lamps off, then to the desired position. On opening the driver's door a temporary audible signal warns the driver that the lighting is on. The lamps, with the exception of the sidelamps, switch off automatically after a maximum duration of thirty minutes to prevent discharging of the battery.
Switching off the lamps when the ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the lamps turn off immediately, except for dipped beam if guide-me-home lighting is activated.

Safety
Dynamic stability control (DSC) and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started. As soon as they detect a problem of grip or trajectory, these systems act on the operation if the engine and brakes.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the DSC system, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip.
The DSC system offers exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed. The correct operation of the system depends on observation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking components, the electronic components and the PEUGEOT assembly and operation procedures. After an impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, this indicates a fault with the system. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h), except for 1.6 litre THP 155 and THP 200 petrol engines.
