REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper,
and a special speaker fitted in the
fascia.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, pavement etc.)
behind the vehicle.
Note: this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle
carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with
towing attachment or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
In wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with frost or
snow.
Deactivation  Change to neutral, the system is
again inactive.
Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged; an audible
bleep shows that it is active.
The proximity information is given by
an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach
es the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is
less than approximately twentyfive
centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous.
Detection zone
If there is an operating
fault, the audible signal will
be a short bleep followed
by a long bleep when
changing to reverse gear.

MANUAL GEARBOX
Reverse
*
To change to reverse gear, lift the
ring under the gear lever knob and
push the gear lever to the left then to
the front.
Reverse gear can only be
engaged when the vehicle is sta
tionary with the engine idling.
* According to engine. AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occu
pants in the event of serious colli
sions. They work in conjunction with
the forcelimiting seat belts. The
electronic detectors register and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle : if the triggering thresh
old is reached, the air bags inflate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in the
case of collisions which are not seri
ous, for which the seat belt is suffi
cient to ensure maximum protection.
The seriousness of a collision
depends on the nature of the obsta
cle and the speed of the vehicle at
the moment of the collision.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the passen
ger air bag is disarmed.
Front air bag fault
If this warning light comeson, accompanied by an
audible signal and the mes
sage "Air bag fault" on the
multi–function display, con
tact a PEUGEOT dealer to
