Tyre under-infl ation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving. The system continuously monitors the pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving. A pressure sensor is located in the valve of a each tyres (except the spare wheel). The system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures regularly (including the spare wheel) and before a long journey. Driving with under-inflated tyres adversely affects road holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear, particularly under arduous conditions (vehicle loaded, high speed, long journey).
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label (see the "Identification markings" section). The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after driving for less then 6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed). Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values indicated on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases fuel consumption.
The tyre under-inflation detection system is an aid to driving which does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive responsibly.

Safety141
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by the illumination of the "service" warning lamp indicates a fault with the system.
This alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example, a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal, and depending on equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres , the symbol or the message appears, according to equipment, to identify it.
 Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake applications.  Stop 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 (according to equipment), or  if you have a compressor, the one in the temporary puncture repair kit for example, check the four tyre pressures when cold, or  if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at reduced speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not always lead to visible deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired or replaced. The spare wheel (space-saver type or a steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Operating fault
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked or, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.

Deactivation
Reactivation
 Press button 1 again to reactivate the system. The last value programmed is retained and the indicator lamp comes on.
Operating limits
The system switches to standby automatically if the sensor does not detect the vehicle in front correctly (very difficult weather conditions, sensor out of adjustment, ...). A message is displayed in the multifunction screen. The vehicle being followed may not be detected in certain conditions such as, for example: - when turning, - when changing lane, - when the vehicle in front is either too far ahead (maximum range of the sensor: 100 m) or stationary (in a traffic jam, ...), When the vehicle being followed is much too near (time between the two vehicles less than 0.5 seconds), the display remains fixed at 0.5 seconds.
If the indicator lamp in button 1 flashes, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. This system is not an anti-collision radar and it does not act of the movement of your vehicle. It provides information but cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
 Press button 1 to deactivate the system, the indicator lamp goes off.

Visual and audible front and rear parking sensors
System consisting of four proximity sensors, installed in the front and/or rear bumper. It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, barrier...) located behind the vehicle, however, it will not be able to detect obstacles located immediately below the bumper.
The parking sensors are switched on : - by engaging reverse gear, - at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal and display of the vehicle in the multifunction screen.
The proximity information is indicated by: - an audible signal which becomes more rapid as the vehicle approaches the obstacle, - a graphic in the multifunction screen, with blocks which move closer to the vehicle. The obstacle is located in relation to the emission of the audible signal by the speakers;
front or rear and right or left. When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous and/or the "Danger" symbol appears, depending on the multifunction screen version.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks cone or any other similar object may be detected at the start of the manoeuvre but may no longer be detected when the vehicle moves nearer to it.

Driving
The parking sensors are switched off : switched off : switched off - when you exit reverse gear, - when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in for ward gear, - when the vehicle has been stationary for more than three seconds in for ward gear.
Deactivation Operating fault
 Press button A again, the warning lamp switches off, the system is reactivated.
 Press button A , the warning lamp comes on, the system is fully deactivated.
If an operating fault occurs, this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the multifunction screen, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep), when reverse gear is engaged. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. The parking sensor system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
The system will be deactivated automatically when a trailer is being towed or when a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty. When the vehicle is being driven at a speed below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sources of noise (motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic drills, ...) may trigger the parking sensor audible signals.

Parking space sensors
After measuring the parking space available between two vehicles or obstacles, this system gives you information on: - the possibility of fitting into a free space, depending on the dimensions of your vehicle and the distances needed for manoeuvring, - the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre to be performed.
The system does not measure spaces which are clearly much smaller or larger than the size of the vehicle.
Displays in the instrument panel
The parking space sensor function warning lamp can have three different states:
- off: the function is not selected, - on fixed: the function is selected but the
conditions for measurement are not yet met (direction indicator not operating, speed too high) or the measurement phase has ended, - flashing: measurement is in progress or the message is being displayed. You can activate the "parking space sensor" function by pressing button A. The fixed illumination of the warning lamp indicates that the function is selected.

190Driving
Operation
You have identified a parking space:  Press button A to activate the function.  Activate the direction indicator on the side where the space is to be measured.  During the measuring, go for ward the length of the space, at a speed less than 12 mph (approximately 20 km/h), to prepare for your manoeuvre. The system then measures the size of the space.  The system informs you of the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre via a message in the multifunction screen accompanied by an audible signal.
The function displays the following types of message:
Parking possible
Parking difficult
Parking not advised
The function deactivates itself automatically: - when you engage reverse gear, - when you switch off the ignition, - five minutes after activation of the function or after the last measurement operation, - if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold of 45 mph (approximately 70 km/h) for one minute.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle and the parking space is too great, the system may not operate.
- The function remains available after each measurement and so can measure a number of places su c c e s s i ve l y. - In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered by dirt, or by ice or snow. - The parking space sensor function deactivates the front parking sensors during the space measuring phase when you are in forward gear. If there is a malfunction, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
