In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.In the event of a malfunction of
the system, when reverse gear

Blind spot monitoring system
this driving assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger.A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
i

mmediately, when being overtaken,
-

a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
th
is system is designed to improve
safety when driving and is in no
circumstances a substitute for the use
of the interior rear view mirror and door
mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility to
constantly check the traffic, to assess
the distances and relative speeds
of other vehicles and to predict their
movements before deciding whether to
change lane.
th
e blind spot sensor system can never
replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.

No alert will be given in the following situations:
- i n the presence of immobile objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs...),
-

w
ith vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
-

d
riving on a sinuous road or a sharp
c o r n e r,
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
th

e alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle - car, lorry,
cycle

- is detected.
For this, the following conditions must be met:
-

a

ll the vehicles must be moving in the
same direction,
-

t

he speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
75 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-
w
hen you overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
-

w

hen a vehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 15 mph (25 km/h),
-

t

he traffic must be flowing normally,
-

i

n the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken remains in the blind spot,
-

y

ou are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-

y

our vehicle is not pulling a trailer,
a


caravan...

- when overtaking (or being overtaken by) a very long vehicle (lorry, coach...) which is
at the same time detected at the rear in the
blind spot angle and present in the driver's
forward field of vision,
-

i
n very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry
or a stationary object,
-

w
hen overtaking quickly. F
t
o d
eactivate the system, press
this button again; the warning
lamp goes off.
Operating fault
the system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud, ice
or snow.
ta

ke care not to cover the warning zone
in the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with adhesive labels or other objects;
they may hamper the correct operation
of the system. In the event of a fault, the warning
lamp in the button flashes then
goes


off.
Have it checked by a P

Ease of use and comfort
508-additif_en_Chap03_ergonomie-et-confort_ed01-2016
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below:  To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.  Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.  Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in per fect working order.  Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly. We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).  To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.  If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.
Contains fluorinated greenhouse gas R134A. Depending on version and country of sale, the air conditioning system contains fluorinated greenhouse gas R134A. Gas capacity 0.525 kg (+/- 0.025 kg), GWP index 1 430 t (equivalent CO2: 0.751 t).
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few moments. Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
