Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the
lateral airbags. For information on the
product range of seat covers suitable for
your vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.) as this could
cause injuries to the thorax or arm when
the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include
side impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior
trim could compromise the operation of
these sensors – risk of malfunction of the
lateral airbags!
Such work must only be done by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.General points relating to
child seats
The regulations on carrying children are
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
-

I

n accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt
or ISOFIX mountings.
-

S
tatistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the rear
seats.
-

A c
hild weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the rear ward facing position
both in the front and in the rear.
It is recommended that children travel on
the rear seats of your vehicle:
-
"rearward facing " up to the age of 3,
-
"forward facing " over the age of 3. Ensure that the seat belt is positioned and
tightened correctly.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the support leg is in firm and steady
contact with the floor.
In the front: if necessary, adjust the
passenger seat.
At the rear: if necessary, adjust the
relevant front seat.
Remove and stow the head restraint
before installing a child seat with backrest
on a passenger seat.
Refit the head restraint once the child seat
has been removed.
Child seat at the rear
"Rearward facing"
When a "rear ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat
, move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the "rear ward facing" child seat does
not touch the vehicle's front seat.

Malfunction
Blind Spot Detection
This system is designed to improve safety
when driving and is in no circumstances
a substitute for the use of the interior
rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is
the driver's responsibility to constantly
check the traffic, to assess the distances
and relative speeds of other vehicles
and to anticipate their movements before
deciding whether to change lane.
The Blind Spot Detection system does not
avoid the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver.
Operation
The function is activated and
deactivated in the Vehicle/Driving
menu, then the Driving functions tab
of the touch screen.
The state of the system stays in memory when
switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towing device
approved by PEUGEOT.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle – car, lorry,
bicycle – is detected and the following
conditions are fulfilled:
-

a

ll the vehicles are moving in the same
direction and on adjacent lanes,
-

t

he speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
87

mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-

y

ou overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6
mph (10 km/h),
-

w

hen a vehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 16
mph (25 km/h),
-

t

he traffic is flowing normally,
In the event of a fault with the system, you are
alerted by the illumination of these warning
lamps in the instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an audible signal.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
This driving assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger.
A fixed warning lamp appears in the door mirror
on the side in question:
-
i

mmediately, when being overtaken,
-

a

fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.

155
No alert will be given in the following situations:
- i n the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs, etc.),
-

w
ith vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
-

d
riving on a winding road or a sharp corner, -

w
hen overtaking or being overtaken by a
very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) which
is both detected in the rear blind spot and
present in the driver’s front field of vision,
-
i
n very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry or
a stationary object,
-
w
hen overtaking quickly.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, this warning
lamp comes on.
The alert is accompanied by a
message and an audible signal.Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
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.
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
the 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 cross a lane marking
with the direction indicators on, to help you
avoid a collision.
Conditions for operation
The following systems must be activated:
- B lind Spot Detection,
-

A
ctive Lane Keeping Assistance.
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and 87
mph (65 and 140 km/h) inclusive.
Parking sensors
This system cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance Visual assistance
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (examples: pedestrian, vehicle, tree,
gate) which comes within the field of detection of sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (examples: post,
roadworks cone) detected initially will no longer
be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they are located in blind spots in the sensors'
field of detection.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 sound signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
locates the obstacle in relation to the vehicle, in
front or behind.
Front parking sensors
In addition to 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).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if an obstacle is no longer
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
This supplements the audible signal by displaying
bars on the screen that move progressively
nearer to the vehicle. When the obstacle is very
close, the "Danger" symbol is displayed.

Reversing camera
The reversing camera cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.They are represented as lines marked
"on the ground" and do not indicate the
position of tall obstacles (for example:
other vehicles, etc.) relative to the vehicle.
Some distortion of the image is normal.
It is normal to have a part of the number
plate showing in the bottom of the screen.
The blue lines 1 represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the gap represents the width of
your vehicle except for the door mirrors).
The red line 2 represents a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines 3 represent distances of about
1 m and 2 m beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves 4 represent the
maximum turning circle.
Opening the tailgate causes the display to
disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not direct
the lance closer than 30
cm to the lens of
the camera.
Visiopark 1
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed on the touch screen.
The representation with overlaid lines helps
with the manoeuvre. With the engine running, and as soon as
reverse gear is engaged, this system allows
views of your vehicle’s close surroundings to
be displayed on the touch screen using a rear
camera.
The screen is divided into two parts: on the
left, a contextual view; on the right, a view from
above the vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the
information on the view from above the vehicle.

The blue lines 1 represent the width of your
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their
direction changes depending on the position of
the steering wheel.
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30
cm
from the bumper; the two blue lines 3 and 4
represent 1
m and 2 m, respectively.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information from the parking sensors.
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
The state of the system is not kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.Principle of operation
Using the rear camera, the vehicle's
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is created in real time, as the
vehicle manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen.
This image is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
This system is a visual aid that cannot in
any circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. The images provided by the camera 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.

m and 2 m, respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the
screen. 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 obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
Driving

161
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are in reality.
It is important to check the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also provide
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
180° viewRecommendations on care
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors and camera are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
Check the cleanliness of the camera lens
regularly.
If necessary, clean the camera with a soft, dry
cloth.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the lance at least 30
cm away from the
camera and parking sensors.
The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a
parking bay, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a complete manoeuvre. It consists of 3 areas: left A
, centre B and
right C .
This view is available only from the view
selection menu.
Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking: it detects a parking space then
operates the steering system to park in this
space.
With a manual gearbox , the driver manages
the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch.
With an automatic gearbox (EAT6/EAT8) , the
driver manages the accelerator, brakes and
gears. During phases of entry into and exit from a
parking space, the system provides visual
and audible information to the driver in order
to make the manoeuvres safe. It may be
necessary to move for wards and backwards
more than once.
The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.
This manoeuvring assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle ensuring that the space remains
clear throughout the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
The Park Assist system cannot work with
the engine off.

A.Parallel parking.
B. Exit from a parallel parking space.
C. Bay parking.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel per forms rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could block
the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scar ves,
ties, etc.) - injury risk!
When the Park Assist is active, it prevents
the Stop & Start going into STOP mode.
In STOP mode, activating Park Assist
restarts the engine. The Park Assist system takes control
of the assistance for a maximum of
4
manoeuvre cycles. The function is
deactivated after these 4 cycles. If you
think that your vehicle is not positioned
correctly, you should then take control of
the steering to carry out the manoeuvre.
The sequence of manoeuvres and the
driving instructions are displayed on the
touch screen.
You should always check the surroundings
of your vehicle before starting a
manoeuvre. The parking sensors function is
not available during parking space
measurement. It intervenes later when
manoeuvring to warn you that your vehicle
is approaching an obstacle: the audible
signal becomes continuous when the
obstacle is less than thirty centimetres
away.
If you have deactivated the parking
sensors, they are automatically
reactivated during assisted parking
manoeuvres.
Activation of Park Assist deactivates the
Blind Spot Detection.
