Deactivation
Reactivation
F Press button 1 again to reactivate the system.
T

he last value programmed is retained and
the indicator lamp comes on.
Operating limits
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 on the movement
of your vehicle. It provides information
but cannot, in any circumstances, take
the place of vigilance on the part of the
driver.
F

P

ress button 1 to deactivate the system,
the indicator lamp goes off. 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:
-
w

hen turning,
-
w

hen changing lane,
-

w

hen 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.

Tyre under-inflation 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
each tyre (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 vigilance on
the part of the driver.
Driving

173
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.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
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. F

R

movements or harsh brake applications.
F
S
top as soon as it is safe to do so.
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.
F

I

f you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
I

f it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.


or
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment).
Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not
detected by your vehicle (fitting snow
tyres for example), you must have the
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

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
:
- b y engaging reverse gear,
-

a
t 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:
-
a n audible signal which becomes more
rapid as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle,
-

a
n image 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 version of
multifunction screen.
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.

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 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.

between two vehicles or obstacles, this system
gives you information on:
-
t
he possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances needed for
manoeuvring,
-

t
he 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:
-

o

ff: the function is not selected,
