Driving
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater 
demands on the towing vehicle and 
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable 
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower 
air density at high altitudes decreases engine 
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the 
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles 
(1,000 kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the 
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the 
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest items are as close as possible to the 
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it 
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum 
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer 
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is 
used, the rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible 
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant 
temperature to increase. The maximum towable 
load depends on the gradient and the exterior 
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not 
increase with engine speed.
►
 
Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to 
limit heating up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant 
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the  STOP 
warning lamp come on, stop the 
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as 
possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a 
trailer. To avoid overheating the brakes, the use 
of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more 
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys include an electronic engine 
immobiliser system, with a code that must be 
recognised in order for starting to be possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the 
display of a message, the engine will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Driving
– With a manual gearbox: with the gear lever in 
neutral and the clutch pedal released.
–
 
With an 
 automatic gearbox: with the brake 
pedal depressed until the vehicle stops or the 
gear selector in position  N, with the vehicle 
stopped.
Time counter
A time counter adds up the time spent in standby 
during a journey. It resets to zero every time the 
ignition is switched on.
Special cases:
The engine will not go into standby if all of the 
conditions for operation are not met and in the 
following cases.
–
 
Steep slope (ascending or descending).
–
 
V
 ehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10   km/h) 
since the last engine start (with the key or the 
“START/STOP” button).
–
 
Needed 
 to maintain a comfortable temperature 
in the passenger compartment.
–
 
Demisting active.
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes 
for a few seconds, then goes off.
After the engine has restarted, STOP mode is not available until the vehicle 
has reached a speed of 5 mph (8
  km/h).
During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode 
is not available for a few seconds after 
coming out of reverse gear or turning the 
steering wheel.
Engine restarting (START mode)
The engine automatically restarts as soon as the 
driver indicates the intention of moving off again.

operating conditions are met again and in the 
following cases.
– 
With a manual gearbox: vehicle speed 
exceeds 2.5 mph (4
  km/h),
–
 
With an automatic gearbox, in mode  N
, vehicle 
speed exceeds 0.6 mph (1
  km/h).
In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes 
for a few seconds, then goes off.
Malfunctions
In the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp flashes for a few moments, then 
remains on, accompanied by an onscreen 
message.
Have the vehicle checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come 
on if there is a fault.
►
 
Switch off the ignition then start the engine 
again with the key or the " ST
ART/STOP" button.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V 
battery of specific technology and 
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be 
carried out only by a PEUGEOT
 dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures  of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel 
speed sensors with  reference values, which 
must be reinitialised every time the tyre 
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it 
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or 
more tyres.
Under-inflation detection does not 
replace the need for vigilance on the part 
of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to 
regularly check the tyre pressures (including 
the spare wheel) as well as before a long 
journey.

Driving
6These systems are in no way designed to keep the driver awake or to prevent 
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel. 
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling 
tired.
Activation / Deactivation
It is set via the  Driving   / Vehicle 
touch screen menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory 
when the ignition is switched off.
Driver Attention Alert
The system triggers an alert as soon as it  detects that the driver has not taken a 
break after two hours of driving at a speed above 
40 mph (65
  km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message 
encouraging the driver to take a break, 
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert 
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following 
conditions is met:
–
 
With the engine running, the vehicle has been 
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
–
 
The ignition has been switched off for a few 
minutes.
–
 
The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their 
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle  drops below 40 mph (65   km/h), the 
system goes into standby.
The driving time is counted again once the 
speed is above 40 mph (65
  km/h).
Driver Attention Alert by 
camera
 
 
Using a camera placed at the top of the 
windscreen, the system assesses the 
driver's level of vigilance, fatigue or distraction by 
identifying variations in trajectory compared to 
the lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads 
(speed higher than 40 mph (65
  km/h)).
At a first-level alert, the driver is warned by the 
“Take care! ” message, accompanied by an 
audible signal.
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers 
a further alert with the message " Dangerous 
driving: take a break", accompanied by a more 
pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road 
surface or strong winds), the system may 
give alerts independent of the driver's level of 
vigilance.
The following situations may interfere  with the operation of the system or 
prevent it from working:
–
 
lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow
 , 
mud) or multiple (roadworks);
–
 
close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings 
not detected);
–
 
roads that are narrow
 , winding, etc.
Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
Using sensors located in the bumper, this 
system signals the proximity of obstacles 
(e.g.
  pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in 
their field of detection.  
Page 130 of 260

128
Driving
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse 
gear, as confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out 
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance 
 
The system signals the presence of obstacles 
within the sensors’ detection zone.
The proximity information is given by an 
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of 
which increases as the vehicle approaches the 
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and 
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty 
centimetres, the audible signal becomes 
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or 
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is 
located.
Adjusting the audible signalWith PEUGEOT Connect Radio or 
PEUGEOT Connect Nav, pressing 
this button opens the window for adjusting the 
volume of the audible signal.
Visual assistance 
 
This supplements the audible signal by 
displaying bars on the screen that represent the 
distance between the obstacle and the vehicle 
(white: more distant, orange: close, red: very 
close).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger" 
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
Supplementing 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).
Front parking sensor operation is suspended if 
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in 
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected 
or the vehicle speed exceeds 6
  mph (10   km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle relative to 
the vehicle, in front or behind it.
Side parking sensors 
 
Using four additional sensors located on the 
sides of the bumpers, the system records the 
position of obstacles during the manoeuvre and 
indicates them when they are located alongside 
the vehicle.
Only fixed obstacles are indicated 
correctly. Moving obstacles detected at 
the beginning of the manoeuvre may be 
indicated mistakenly, while moving obstacles 
that appear alongside the vehicle but were 
not previously recorded will not be indicated.
Objects memorised during the 
manoeuvre will no longer be stored after 
switching off the ignition.
Deactivation / Activation
It is set via the  Driving   / Vehicle 
touch screen menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory 
when the ignition is switched off.

The rear parking sensors system will be deactivated automatically if a trailer or 
bicycle carrier is connected to a towing device 
installed in accordance with the 
manufacturer's recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a trailer is displayed 
at the rear of the image of the vehicle.
The parking sensors are deactivated while the 
Park Assist and Full Park Assist functions are 
measuring a space.
For more information on the  Park Assist or the 
Full Park Assist, refer to the corresponding 
section.
When the vehicle is started, the visual 
and audible aids will be available after 
the touch screen has started up. 
Operating limits
If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt, 
affecting distance measurements.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction when 
shifting to reverse, one of these 
warning lamps comes on on the instrument 
panel, accompanied by the display of a message 
and an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
Visiopark 1
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
As soon as reverse gear is engaged with the 
engine running, this system displays views of 
your vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch 
screen using a camera located at the rear of the 
vehicle.
 
 
 
 
The screen is divided into two parts with a 
contextual view and a view from above the 
vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the information 
on the view from above the vehicle.
Various contextual views may be displayed:
–  
Standard view
 .
–
 
180° view
 .
–
 
Zoom view
 .
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses to display the 
best view (standard or zoom).
You can change the type of view at any time 
during a manoeuvre.
The state of the function is not saved when the 
ignition is switched off.

Driving
Principle of operation 
 
Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close 
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres 
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close 
surroundings is reconstructed (represented 
between the brackets) in real time and as the 
manoeuvre progresses.
It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when 
parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle 
to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the 
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
Rear vision 
 
To activate the camera, located on the tailgate, 
engage reverse and keep the speed of the 
vehicle below 6 mph (10  km/h).
The system is deactivated:
–
 
Automatically
 , at speeds above approximately 
12 mph (20
  km/h),
–
 
Automatically
 , if the tailgate is opened.
–
 
When changing out of reverse gear
 .
–
 
By pressing the white arrow in the upper-left 
corner of the touch screen.
AUTO mode 
 
This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the automatic 
view changes from the rear view (standard) to 
the view from above (zoom) as an obstacle is 
approached at the level of the red line (less than 
30
  cm) during a manoeuvre.
Standard view 
 
The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the 
screen.

Driving
6The blue lines 1 represent the width of your 
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their direction 
changes according to the position of the steering 
wheel.
The red line  2 represents a distance of 30
  cm 
from the rear bumper; the two blue lines  3 and 4 
represent 1
  m and 2   m, respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the 
view selection menu.
Zoom view 
 
The camera records the vehicle's surroundings 
during the manoeuvre in order to create a 
view from above the rear of the vehicle in its 
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be 
manoeuvred around nearby obstacles.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the 
view selection 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
