Visiopark 1 - Visiopark 2
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.


With the engine running, these systems allow
views of your vehicle’s close surroundings to
be displayed on the touch screen using one
camera for the Visiopark 1 and two cameras for
Visiopark 2.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
within the sensors’ detection zone.
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 audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
Adjusting the audible signalWith PEUGEOT Connect Radio or
PEUGEOT Connect Nav, pressing
this button opens the window for adjusting the
volume of the audible signal.
Visual assistance



This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars on the screen that represent the
distance between the obstacle and the vehicle
(white: more distant, orange: close, red: very
close).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
Supplementing 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).
Front parking sensor operation is suspended if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected
or the vehicle speed exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle relative to
the vehicle, whether in front of or behind it on
its path.
Deactivation / Activation
It is set via the vehicle
configuration menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory

Towing device
Distribution of loads
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance.
The maximum load which
can be towed must be reduced by 10% per
1,000
metres of altitude.
Use towing devices and their genuine
wiring harnesses approved by
PEUGEOT. It is recommended that the
installation be performed by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, it must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Important: with a motorised tailgate and its
"Hands-Free Tailgate Access" function, if a
towing device is fitted outside the PEUGEOT
dealer network, it is essential to visit a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
to recalibrate the detection system - risk of
"Hands-Free Tailgate Access" function failure.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated if an approved
towing system is used.
Observe the maximum authorised
towable weight, indicated on the vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the Technical data section
of this guide.
Complying with the maximum authorised
nose weight (towball) also includes the
use of accessories (bicycle carriers, tow
boxes, etc.).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
