To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and
drive carefully!
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The trailer stability control system provides an extra safety feature under
normal driving conditions, when following the
recommendations for use of trailers and
current legislation in force in your country. It
must not encourage the driver to take extra
risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable
conditions of operation (e.g.
excessive load,
exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated
tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at
excessive speed.
In certain cases, the system may not detect
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the
system may not be able to prevent sudden
trailer snaking.
Seat belts
Inertia reel
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia
reel which allows the strap length to adjust
automatically to the shape of the user. The seat
belt returns to its storage automatically when it
is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which
automatically locks the strap in the event of a
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls
over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Pyrotechnic pretensioning
This system improves safety in the event of a
frontal or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are
enabled when the ignition is on.
Force limiting system
This system reduces the pressure of the seat
belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving
their protection.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts, the pyrotechnic
device may trigger before and independently
of airbag deployment. Deployment of the
pretensioners is accompanied by a slight
discharge of harmless smoke and a noise,
due to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belt
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning system and a force limiting
system.
Rear seat belts

Each of the rear seats has a three-point seat belt
with inertia reel.
The outer seats are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning and force limiting system.
When carrying heavy loads in the boot, the rear
seat belts should be fastened.
Fastening
► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.

Driving
6Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen whose location
represents 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 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.
Side parking sensors

Using four additional sensors located on the
sides of the bumpers, the system records the
position of obstacles during the manoeuvre and
indicates them when they are located alongside
the vehicle.
Only fixed obstacles are indicated
correctly. Moving obstacles detected at
the beginning of the manoeuvre may be
indicated mistakenly, while moving obstacles
that appear alongside the vehicle but were
not previously recorded will not be indicated.
Objects memorised during the
manoeuvre will no longer be stored after
switching off the ignition.
Deactivation/Activation
The settings are changed via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.
The system status is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.


The rear parking sensors system will be deactivated automatically if a trailer or
bicycle carrier is connected to a towing device
installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a trailer is displayed
at the rear of the image of the vehicle.
The parking sensors are deactivated while the
Park Assist and Full Park Assist functions are
measuring a space.
For more information on the Park Assist
function or Full Park Assist function, refer to the
corresponding section.
When the vehicle is started, the visual
and audible aids will be available after
the touch screen has started up.
Operating limits
If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt,
affecting distance measurements.

Full Park Assist
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system provides active parking assistance
for vehicles fitted with the EAT8 automatic
gearbox: it detects a free "parallel" or "bay"
parking space and then operates the vehicle,
parking it with no need for driver intervention. It
also allows you to automatically exit a
"parallel"
parking space.
The system controls the steering, direction,
acceleration and braking. The system measures
the available parking spaces and calculates
the distances to obstacles using 12 ultrasonic
sensors built into the front and rear bumpers of
the vehicle.
To help the driver monitor the successful
completion of the manoeuvre, the system
automatically displays the Visiopark 1 or
Visiopark 2 and activates the parking sensors.
