Driving
6mirrors, always leave your feet close to the
pedals and take a break every 2 hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar(s)
The operation of the radar(s), along with
any associated functions, may be affected
by the accumulation of dirt (e.g.
mud, ice),
in poor weather conditions (e.g.
heavy rain,
snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop;
certain types of paint could interfere with the
operation of the radar(s).


Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or
masked by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s)
displayed on the touch screen or on the
instrument panel may be distorted by the
terrain.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well as
any associated functions, may be disrupted
by noise pollution such as that emitted by
noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30
cm away
from the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims not
approved by PEUGEOT may interfere with
the operation of the speed limiter or cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–

Ensure that the mat is secured correctly
.
–

Never fit one mat on top of another
.

140
Driving
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–

Insufficient contrast between the road
surface and the verge or hard shoulder
(e.g.

shade).
–

Lane markings worn, hidden (snow
, mud)
or multiple (roadworks, etc.),
–

Close proximity to the vehicle in front (lane
markings may not be detected).
–


Roads that are narrow
, winding.
Risk of undesirable operation
The system should be deactivated in the
following situations:
–
When changing a wheel or working near a
wheel.
–


T
owing or with a bicycle carrier on a towing
device, especially with trailer not plugged in or
not approved.

Blind spot monitoring
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system warns the driver of a potential
danger posed by the presence of another vehicle
(car, lorry, motorcycle) in the vehicle's blind
spots (areas hidden from the driver's field of
vision) using sensors located on the sides of the
bumpers.


The warning is given by a fixed warning lamp
that appears in the door mirror on the side in
question:
–

immediately
, when being overtaken;
–

after a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly

.
Activation/Deactivation
It is set via the Driving/Vehicle touch
screen menu.
When starting the vehicle, the warning lamp
comes on in each mirror to indicate that the
system is activated.
The status of the system is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towing device
approved by PEUGEOT.
Operating conditions
– All vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes.
– The speed of your vehicle must be between
7 and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h) (versions
without Park Assist or Full Park Assist) or
between 19 and 87 mph (30 and 140 km/h)
(versions with Park Assist or Full Park Assist).
– When overtaking a vehicle, the speed
difference is less than 6 mph (10 km/h).
– When overtaken by a vehicle, the speed
difference is less than 16 mph (25 km/h).
– Traffic is flowing normally.
– Overtaking a vehicle over a certain period of
time and the vehicle being overtaken remains in
the blind spot.

vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs).
–

vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.
–


on winding roads or in case of sharp turns.
–

truck, bus), which is both
detected in a blind spot from behind and present
in the driver's field of vision from the front.
–

quick overtaking manoeuvre.
–


very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front
and behind are confused with a lorry or a
stationary object.
–


activation of the
Park Assist or Full Park
Assist
function.
Malfunction
If the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The system may be temporarily disturbed by certain climatic conditions (e.g. rain,
hail).
In particular, driving on a wet road or going
from a dry to a wet area can cause false
alerts (e.g.
presence of a cloud of water
droplets in the blind spot interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.

142
Driving
Take 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
correct operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot Detection
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the
door mirror on the side in question, a trajectory
correction will be felt if you attempt to cross
a lane marking with the direction indicator
activated, to help you avoid a collision.
This system is a combination of the Active
lane departure warning system and Blind spot
monitoring functions.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
The vehicle speed must be between 43 and
87 mph (70 and 140 km/h).
These functions are especially suitable for
driving on motorways and main roads.
For more information on the Active lane
departure warning system and Blind spot
monitoring , refer to the corresponding sections.
Parking sensors
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system detects and signals the proximity of
obstacles (e.g.
pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier)
using sensors located in the bumper.
Rear parking sensors
► Engage reverse gear to start the system
(confirmed by an audible signal).
The system is switched off when reverse gear is
disengaged.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of
the steering wheel.


Depending on version, in the example shown,
only the obstacles present in the shaded area
will be signalled by the audible assistance.
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 signalDepending on version, with
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, 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.
