PARKING SPACE SENSORS

After measuring the parking space avail-
able between two vehicles or obstacles,
this system gives you information on:


- the possibility of fi tting into a free
space, depending on the dimen-
sions of your vehicle and the dis-
tances needed for manoeuvring,

- the level of diffi culty of the manoeu-
vre 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 fi xed:
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,

- fl ashing:
measurement is in prog-
ress or the message is being dis-
played. You can activate the "parking space
sensor" function by pressing button A.

The fi xed illumination of the warning
lamp indicates that the function is se-
lected.

Operation

You have identifi ed a parking space:


)
Press button A
to activate the func-
tion.

)
Activate the direction indicator on
the side where the space is to be
measured.

)
During the measuring, go forward
the length of the space, at a speed
less than 12 mph (approximately
20 km/h), to prepare for your ma-
noeuvre.
The system then measures the size
of the space.

)
The system informs you of the level
of diffi culty 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 diffi cult


Parking not advised

The function deactivates itself automati-
cally:


- when you engage reverse gear,

- when you switch off the ignition,

- fi ve minutes after activation of the
function or after the last measure-
ment operation,

- if the vehicle speed exceeds the
threshold of 45 mph (approximately
70 km/h) for one minute.



- The function remains avail-
able after each measure-
ment and so can measure
a number of places succes-
sively.

- In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
by dirt, or by ice or snow.

- The parking space sensor func-
tion deactivates the front parking
sensors during the space mea-
suring phase when you are in for-
ward gear.
If there is a malfunction, have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

If the lateral distance between
your vehicle and the parking
space is too great, the system
may not operate.

CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.

Brake fluid level

Oil level


The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched on
using the oil level indicator on
the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
This manual check will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level in-
dicator in the instrument panel will only be
valid 30 minutes after topping up. The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.


Power steering fluid level

The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the
engine cold, to check the level.


Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
low fl uid level is indicated by an
audible signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen.
Top up the reservoir when you stop the
vehicle.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.
When the engine is warm, the temperature
of the coolant is regulated by the fan. This
can operate with the ignition off.

On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the fan may operate
after the vehicle has been switched off,
even if the engine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the
cap by two turns to allow the pressure to
drop. When the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap and top up the level.

Coolant level

The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.

When working under the bon-
net, take care, as certain areas
of the engine may be extremely
hot (risk of burns).


It is normal to top up the oil level
between services. PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the
oil level and top up if necessary every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).


Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.


Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

CHECKS
177
Avoid prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harm-
ful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids
into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
(France) or to an authorised waste
disposal site.










Diesel additive level (Diesel engine
with particle emission filter)
The additive reservoir low level is indicated
by fi xed illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible warning and a
message in the multifunction screen.

Brake disc wear














Brake pads

Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

Maintenance of the particle emission fi l-
ter must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

On a new vehicle, the fi rst few
particle emissions fi lter regenera-
tions may be accompanied by a
"burning" smell, which is perfectly nor-
mal. Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice water vapour from the exhaust
on acceleration. This does not affect the
performance of the vehicle or the envi-
ronment.


Dust filter/Anti-odour filter
(activated carbon)
Your vehicle is fi tted with a fi lter which
traps certain dust and limits odours in
the ventilation and air conditioning.
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for its replacement interval.
Do not hesitate to change it if you notice
unpleasant odours, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter may reduce the performance of the air
conditioning system and produce un-
pleasant odours.
