In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear isengaged, an audible signal (long beep)indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer tain soundsources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
In th
e event of a malfunction
of the system, when reversegear is engaged this warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
wor
kshop.

Operating fault

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
forward gear, if no fur ther obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front par king sensors
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being towedor a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).

Deactivation/Activation of the front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates thefunction. The indicator lamp in the buttongoes off.



The sound emitted by the speaker (frontor rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front or behind.

Operation

When you have identified a parking space:)Engage a gear on a manual gearbox or put
the gear lever in position A (electronic gear control gearbox) or in position D(automaticgearbox).)Press button Ato star t the system. )Operate the direction indicator on theside where the space is to be measured; a message is displayed and the warning
lamp flashes to confirm that measurement
is in progress.
)During measurement, go for ward the
length of the space, at a speed less than
12 mph (20 km/h), to prepare for your manoeuvre.)Once the measurement has beencompleted, the system informs you of
the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre
by a message in the multifunction screen accompanied by an audible signal.
The system displays one of the following messages:
Parking possible
Parking difficult
Parking not advised


If the lateral distance between your vehicle and the parking space is toogreat, the system may not be able to measure the space.


The system remains available after each measurement and can therefore measure several spaces in succession. In poor or wintry weather, ensure thatthe sensors are free of dir t, ice or snow.
The parking space sensor systemdeactivates the front parking sensorswhen measuring forwards.
If there is a fault, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The s
ystem switches itself off automatically:


- when you engage reverse gear,

- when
you switch off the ignition,

- if measuring is not requested,

- within five minutes of switching on thesystem,

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

Lighting left on audible signal
An audible signal when a front door is opened warns the driver that the vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with theignition off and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging the battery.
In some weather conditions (e.g. lowtemperature or humidity), the presenceof misting on the internal sur face of the glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it disappears after the lampshave been on for a few minutes.

Daytime lighting, compulsory in cer tain
countries, which comes on automatically when
the engine is star ted making the vehicle more
visible to other road users.
Daytime running lamps

This function is assured:


- in countries where it is imposed by
regulations, by illumination of the dippedbeam headlamps with the sidelamps and number plate lamps.

- for other countries where it is provided,
by the use of dedicated lamps.

This function can be activatedor deactivated via the vehicleconfiguration menu.



The lighting goes off when you switchoff the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lighting control stalk.

136
Visibility
Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of
the sidelamps on the traffic side only. ) Within one minute of switching off the
ignition, operate the lighting control stalk upor down depending on the traffic side (for example: when parking on the left; lightingcontrol stalk upwards; the right hand sidelamps are on).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and
illumination of the corresponding direction
indicator warning lamp in the instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the middle position or
switch on the ignition.
Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the ignition has beenswitched off makes the driver's exit easier when
the light is poor.
Manual guide-me-home
lighting
Switching on
)Within 30 seconds or a minute after
switching of the ignition (according to theautomatic guide-me-home lighting durationprogrammed in the configuration menu), "flash" the headlamps using the lighting stalk.)A further "headlamp flash" switches the
function off.

Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting switches
off automatically after about 30 seconds.

Safety








Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.

Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.


All repairs and changing of tyres on awheel fitted with this system must becarried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install awheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres), you must have the system reinitialised
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.
This message is also displayed whenone of the wheels is away from thevehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted.


The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem is an aid to driving which doesnot replace the need for the driver to bevigilant or to drive responsibly.

This system does not avoid the need to have the tyre pressures checked regularly(refer to "Identification markings") to ensure that the optimum dynamicperformance of the vehicle is maintainedand prevent premature wear of the tyres,particularly in arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember to check the pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detection system may experience temporary inter ference due to electromagnetic signals on a frequency close to that used by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panelscreen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel concerned.

Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp and
the STOPwarning lamp come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in theinstrument panel screen identifying the wheelconcerned. )Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and the brakes.) Change the damaged wheel (punctured
or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.

Puncture
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel or wheels which are not
detected or to indicate a fault in the system.Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifiedworkshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
)Check the tyre pressures as soon aspossible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.
