Parking sensors


AUDIBLE REAR PARKING SENSORS

If fitted on your vehicle, the system consists
of four proximity sensors, installed in the
rear bumper.
They detect any obstacle: person, vehicle,
tree, fence, behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
However, objects the size or thickness of
which are detected at the beginning of the
manoeuvre will no longer be detected at the
end of the manoeuvre: blind spots between
and below the sensors. Examples: stake,
roadworks cone or pavement post. Engage reverse gear
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
The system cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance and
responsibility of the driver.
Stop the assistance

Change to neutral.


Malfunction

If this warning lamp comes on
on the instrument panel, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.
If your vehicle is
fitted with this screen,
a message appears.


Good practice

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.

BOARD
Reversing camera
REVERSING CAMERA
If your vehicle is fitted with this camera,
it is located at the rear of the van, next to
the third brake lamp.
It sends views to the screen installed
in the cab. This rear vision is an aid to
manoeuvring.

Screen

The camera sends the images to a 4 inch or
6.5 inch adjustable colour LCD which takes
the place of the interior rear view mirror.
Press the button and place the screen in the
required position.

Activation

With the key in the running position, unfold
the screen.
The camera comes into operation when
reverse gear is engaged and remains active
up to approximately 9 mph (15 km/h). It is
deactivated above 11 mph (18 km/h).
When a forward gear is engaged, the last
image remains displayed for approximately
5 seconds then switches off.
Fold the screen.
Buttons

Brightness adjustment.
Back-lighting adjustment.
ON/OFF enables you to see rear
views without engaging reverse
gear.

Reversing camera

Initial settings

With reverse gear not engaged,
press and hold the ON/OFF button
for approximately 3 seconds.
The button fl ashes twice to confi rm
the reinitialisation.

Alarm display on the screen
In the ON position, information in text
format accompanies the manoeuvre and is
displayed on the screen:


- each time reverse gear is engaged,
a message appears before the first view
is transmitted,

- at 11 mph (18 km/h) in reverse gear,
the rear view disappears and the
screen switches to "Stand by". The view
appears again when the vehicle returns
to a speed below 9 mph (15 km/h).


Change of language
With reverse gear not engaged, press
the ON/OFF button and any other button
simultaneously.
Scroll through the languages by pressing
ON/OFF.
When the language has been selected, wait
approximately 3 seconds for it to be stored.
Good practice
When vehicle conditions are optimum
(position on the road, loading level)
the maximum area of visibility covered by
the camera has a field depth approximately
3 m long and 5.5 m wide.
The area of visibility may vary depending on
the external weather conditions (brightness,
rain, snow, fog, ...), the load in the vehicle
and the position of the vehicle on the road.
Please store the screen in its housing when
no longer in use.
When cleaning the camera and the screen,
avoid using a detergent or a tool which may
scratch the glass.
Use a non-abrasive cloth or a small brush.
Following a collision, if the screen glass has
cracked and allows liquid crystal to flow out:
do not touch it.
If you have come into contact with it, quickly
wash the contaminated part of the body with
soapy water.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the screen repaired.

Driving safely
SAFETY
DRIVING SAFELY
PARKING BRAKE HAZARD WARNING LAMP
S
Press this button, the direction indicators
flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only be
used in dangerous situations, when stopping
in an emergency or when driving in unusual
conditions.
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
If the parking brake is still on or has not
been released properly, this is indicated
by this warning lamp which comes on on
the instrument panel.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear after parking
the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is loaded.


Releasing

Pull the lever and press the button to lower
the parking brake lever.

Towing a trailer


TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...

For more information about weights,
refer to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...)
Distribution of loads:
distribute the load in
the trailer so that the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and the nose
weight is close to the maximum authorised
without, however, exceeding it. Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

Towing a trailer

ACCESSORIE
S


Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower
the engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 9) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to
a PEUGEOT dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
Good practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
Brakes:
towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.

Side wind:
sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.

ABS:
the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.

Rear parking

Checks


CHECKS
Air filter and passenger compartment filter

A clogged passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the servicing booklet.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary, refer to the "Under the
bonnet" section of chapter 7.


Manual gearbox

Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, PEUGEOT
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
Parking brake

Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.


Bleeding the water contained in
the Diesel filter
If this warning lamp comes on,
bleed the filter, otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine oil
is changed.
To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Leave open until
all of the water has been drained out. Then
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.
HDi engines use advanced technology. All
work requires a special qualification which is
guaranteed by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status

For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.


Oil filter

Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
