Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Switching off
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.
In bad weather or 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.
The indicator lamp for the function flashes for a few seconds. If the fault occurs during the use of the system, the indicator lamp goes off.

Under-inflation alert Reinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure that the pressures of the four tyres are correct for the use of the vehicle and in line with the recommendations on the tyre pressure label. The under-inflation detection system does not give a warning if a pressure is incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
This is given by fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and after changing one or more wheels. A label attached to the middle pillar, driver's side, gives a reminder of this.
 Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive steering movements and sudden braking  Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
 In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending on equipment), or  if you have a compressor, such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit, check the pressures of the four tyres when cold, or  if it is not possible to make this check immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not always cause visible bulging of the tyre. Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual check. The alert is maintained until the system is reinitialised.

Sit in a normal upright position. Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt. Do not leave anything between the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, object...). This could hamper the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants. After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems checked. All work on the airbag system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The bag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the same time discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you can contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Refer to the "Accessories" section. Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed. Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel. Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard. If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe. Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the curtain airbag is deployed. If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in securing the curtain airbags.
