Detection of rainfall is by means of a rain/
sunshine sensor at the top centre of the
windscreen, behind the rear view mirror.

104
Driving
the speed to climactic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
check the traffic, to assess the relative
distances and speeds of other vehicles and to
anticipate their movements before indicating
and changing lane.
The systems cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel
with both hands, always use the interior and
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the
feet close to the pedals and take a break
every two hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the
associated functions may be impaired through
the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.), in
certain difficult weather conditions (very heavy
rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop;
certain types of paint could interfere with the
operation of the radar.


Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or
masked by a sticker.
On versions with camera alone, this message
indicates to you that the camera is obstructed:
"Driving aids camera: visibility limited, see
user guide".
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s)
displayed on the touch screen or on the
instrument panel may be distorted by the
relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors as well as
the associated functions may be disturbed
by sound interference such as that emitted
by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.

105
Driving
6Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30
cm away
from the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may interfere with the operation of
the speed limiter or cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
►

ensure that the mat is secured correctly
,
►

never fit one mat on top of another
.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Speed Limit Recognition

Malfunction
If the event of malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet surface or
moving from a dry area to a wet area can
cause false alerts (for example, the presence
of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot
angle is interpreted as a vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.

124
Driving
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on the
front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels
or other objects; they may hamper correct
operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot Monitoring System
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross
a lane marking with the direction indicator
activated, to help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active
Lane Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot
Monitoring System.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and 87
mph (65 and 140 km/h).
These functions are especially suitable for
driving on motorways and main roads.
For more information on the Active Lane
Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot
Monitoring System , refer to the corresponding
sections.
Active Safety Brake with Distance Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance

use of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system:
–
warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front, a pedestrian or
,
depending on version, a cyclist.
–

reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or limit its severity

.
The system also takes motorcyclists and animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5
m tall and objects on the road are
not necessarily detected.
This system is comprised of three functions:
–

Distance Alert.
–


Intelligent emergency braking assistance.
–


Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).


The vehicle has a multifunctional camera located
at the top of the windscreen and, depending on
version, a radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not avoid the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the driver
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor the state of the traffic, observing the
driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a potential obstacle, it prepares the braking
circuit in case automatic braking is needed.
This may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle
touch screen menu.

Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
It is important to monitor the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
Parking sensors also provide additional
information about the area around the vehicle.
180° view

The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a
parking space, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out a
complete manoeuvre.
It features 3 areas: left A, centre B and right C. This view is only available via the view selection
menu.
Park Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids
.
This system provides active parking assistance:
it detects a parking space and then steers in the
appropriate direction to park in the space while
the driver controls the driving direction, gear
changes, acceleration and braking.
To help the driver monitor the manoeuvre,
the system automatically triggers the display
of
Visiopark 1 and activates the parking sensors.
The system measures the available parking
spaces and calculates the distances to obstacles
using ultrasonic sensors built into the front and
rear bumpers of the vehicle.


The system assists with the following
manoeuvres:
A. Entering a "parallel" parking space
B. Leaving a "parallel" parking space
C. Entering a "bay" parking space
