Note: this function will be de-
activated automatically when
a trailer is being towed (vehicle
fi t t e d w i t h a t o w b a r r e c o m -
mended by PEUGEOT). If there is an operating fault,
when reverse gear is engaged,
t h e i n d i c a t o r l i g h t fl a s h e s ,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the multi-
function display.
Reactivation
Press button
A again to reactivate the
system. The indicator light on the but-
ton is switched off.
The proximity of the obstacle is indi-
cated by:
- an audible signal which becomes more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle,
- a graphic on the multifunction dis-play, with blocks which become
increasingly close to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; that is, front or rear and
right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approxi-
mately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous and/or the
"Danger" symbol appears on the multi-
function display.
The system becomes inactive again:
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h),
- at the end of the manoeuvre, when stationary, after a few seconds
(front parking assistance only).

CHECKING THE LEVELS
These are normal maintenance opera-
tions which keep your vehicle in good
working order. Consult the instructions
in the PEUGEOT Network or in the
servicing booklet enclosed with this
handbook.
Dipstick There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = m a x i m u m

B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
the engine having been off for more
than 15 minutes, using the dipstick. Oil change

As a safety precaution, in certain circum-stances, a mechanism prevents fuel from reaching the engine. To re-establish the fuel supply:
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is neces-
sary to re-prime the circuit.
The repriming pump and the degas
screw are located under the bonnet
(see corresponding illustration in the
t e c h n i c a l d a t a s e c t i o n ) :

litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, until fuel appears
in the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
2 litre 16V HDI engine
- fi l l t h e f u e l t a n k w i t h a t l e a s t fi v e litres of diesel,
- unscrew the degas screw,
- squeeze and release the manual repriming pump until diesel is seen
escaping via the degas screw,
- retighten the degas screw,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Brake pad wear depends on
the style of driving, in particu-
lar for vehicles which are used
in town, over short distances.
