VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT AND REAR PARKING SENSORS
To ensure optimum operation,
in bad weather or in winter,
ensure that the sensors are
not covered with mud, frost or
snow.
This system consists of proximity
sensors:
- four in the front bumper,
and
- four in the rear bumper. Detection zone
The system is deactivated if
the vehicle is stationary for
more than 3 seconds.
Detection
The system is activated when:
- reverse gear is engaged,
- the speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h)
in forward gear.
It is accompanied by an audible signal
and/or displaying of the vehicle on the
multifunction screen.
It detects any obstacle (person, ve-
hicle, tree, gate, etc.) in front of or be-
hind the vehicle. However, it cannot
detect obstacles located directly under
the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, cone or any
other similar object may be detected
at the beginning of the manoeuvre but
may no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it.

Deactivation
Press button A to deactivate the sys-
tem (child asleep in the rear...). The in-
dicator lamp on the button comes on.

Note: this function will be de-
activated automatically when
a trailer is being towed (vehi-
cle fi tted with a towbar recom-
mended by PEUGEOT). If there is an operating fault,
when reverse gear is en-
gaged, the indicator lamp
fl ashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
multifunction screen.
Reactivation
Press button
A again to reactivate the
system. The indicator lamp 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 ap-
proaches the obstacle,
- a graphic on the multifunction screen, 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 ve-
hicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous
and/or the "Danger" symbol appears
on the multifunction screen.
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 sensors only).
