The laser beam is invisible. Never
look at the laser sensor through an
optical instrument (magnifying glass,
microscope...): risk of eye injury.
Active City Brake
A preventive driving assistance system
that, using a sensor located at the top of the
windscreen, automatically applies the vehicle's
brakes if driving behind a vehicle that is slowing
down rapidly, stopping or is stationary.
The objective is to avoid a collision or reduce
the speed of impact.
This system is designed to improve driving
safety.
It remains the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the traffic and
to assess the distances and relative speeds of
other vehicles.The Active City Brake system can in
no circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. If operation is triggered:
-

D
isplay of a message.
-

I
llumination of the brake lamps.
The automatic braking is triggered as a last
resort, if the driver fails to apply the brakes
sufficiently firmly or at all, or to take avoiding
action. When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly, the
system automatically applies the brakes to
avoid a collision. Conditions for operation:
-

V
ehicles driving in the same lane.
- N ot in too sharp a bend.
- S peed of your vehicle between 3 and
18 mph (5 and 30 km/h).
-

B
raking assistance systems (ABS, EBFD,
EBA) in working order.
-

T
rajectory control systems (ASR, DSC) in
working order and not deactivated.
-

O
peration of Active City Brake not
triggered in the previous 10 seconds.

The collision can be automatically
avoided if the speed difference between
your vehicle and the one ahead is not
more than 9 mph (15 km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will do
what is possible to avoid or reduce the
seriousness of the accident by lowering
the speed of impact.
The automatic braking triggered:
-

c

an be even more effective if the driver
presses the brake pedal more firmly,
-

m

ay stop the vehicle, holding the brakes on
for 1.5 seconds when stationary to allow
the driver time to take back control of the
vehicle,
-

m

ay cause the engine to stall,
-

m

ay give rise to a pumping noise, due to
the pressurisation of the braking system.

If the automatic emergency braking function is
deactivated, following each start a temporary
message will be displayed to signal this, once a
speed threshold (6 mph - 10 km/h) is exceeded.
To deactivate :
- F ollowing an impact to the windscreen

Limits of operation
Not detected are:
- Pe destrians, animals, motorcyclists,
cyclists.
-

F
ixed and non-reflective materials and
objects (cardboard box, wall, ...).
-

V
ehicles not travelling in the same
direction.
The system is not triggered or is interrupted if
the driver:
-

p
resses the accelerator pedal firmly,
-

t
urns the wheel sharply (avoiding
manoeuvre).
Operating faults
Clean or clear any dirt, mist or objects (stickers,
leaves, ...) from the top of the windscreen that
could obstruct the laser's field of vision.
Misting of the windscreen or accumulations
of snow on the bonnet could inter fere with the
operation of the laser. A message appears if
the laser is obstructed.
Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean
the area of the windscreen in front of the
sensor.
Be particularly vigilant when driving in poor
weather (very heavy rain, hail, fog, snow…).
This is because braking distances increase
while the laser's calculation parameters remain
the same. In the following cases, you should have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
-

T
he message "Automatic braking system
fault " accompanied by an audible signal
indicating that a fault has been detected.
-

F
ollowing an impact, the system is
automatically put out of service, it no longer
works. The system detects the deployment
of airbags.
Do not attempt to remove, adjust or test
the sensor.
Only a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop is able to work on the system.

Parking sensors
Engage reverse gear
An audible signal confirms the activation of the
system by engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately 30 centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous. This completes the audible signal by the
display of bars in the multifunction screen,
which become closer and closer as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle. When very close to
the obstacle, the "Danger" symbol is displayed
in the screen.
The audible (front and rear) and visual (rear)
parking sensor system consists of proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper.
The sensors detect any obstacle which
enters its field of operation (person, vehicle,
tree, fence, ...) behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the beginning of the
manoeuvre will no longer be detected at the
end of the manoeuvre due to the blind spots
between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or pavement
post.

Stopping the assistance
Switching off the assistance
Press; the indicator lamp comes on.
The state of the system is stored when the
vehicle is switched off.
Resuming assistance
Press again; the indicator lamp goes off.
Advice
Change to neutral. In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow.
The system will be deactivated automatically
if a trailer is being towed or if a bicycle carrier
is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle
carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).If this warning lamp comes on
when reverse gear is engaged,
accompanied by a message and/or
an audible signal, a fault has been
detected.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified
workshop. The parking sensor system cannot in
any circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.

Reversing camera
The reversing camera function may be
completed with parking sensors. The reversing camera cannot in any
circumstances be a substitute for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The superimposed representation of guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre.
They are represented by lines marked "on
the ground" and do not allow the position of
the vehicle to be determined relative to tall
obstacles (for example: other vehicles, ...).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not
direct the lance within 30 cm of the
camera lens.
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed in the touch screen.
The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the difference corresponds to
the width of your vehicle without the mirrors).
The red lines represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines represent distances of about 1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper. Opening the tailgate causes the display
to disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.

Park Assist
For entry into a parking space (parallel
parking) the system does not detect
spaces which are clearly much smaller
or larger than the size of the vehicle.
This "parking assistance" system
is activated automatically during
manoeuvres; it is therefore possible
that a symbol comes on in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal,
without affecting the manoeuvre. The selection of the type of manoeuvre
(entering or exiting a parallel parking
space) prevents a change to STOP
mode of Stop & Start.
In STOP mode, this selection restarts
the engine.
The Park Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of
their vehicle ensuring that the space
remains clear during the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors
may not detect small obstacles located
in their blind spots. During a manoeuvre the steering wheel
turns quickly: do not hold the steering
wheel, do not place your hand between
the spokes of the steering wheel and
take care with loose and bulky clothing,
scarves, handbags... There is a risk of
injury.
The driver can take back control of the steering
at any time by grasping the wheel.
Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres,
winter tyres, ...) can inter fere with
the correct operation of the parking
assistance system. The system provides assistance in entering and
exiting a parking space when parallel parking.
The system detects a parking space and then
provides assistance with the parallel parking
manoeuvres.
It controls the steering and provides visual and
audible information to the driver.
The driver manages the accelerator, brakes,
gears and the clutch in the case of a manual
gearbox.
