Manoeuvre cautiously, at low
speed
The dimensions of your vehicle differ from
those of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as
well as in length, and some obstacles will be
more difficult to notice.
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no
obstacles at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the
vehicle.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders
are fitted.
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load carried, the vehicle must remain
within the maximum authorised weight, the
Gross Vehicle Weight.
To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle,
the load should be centred and the heaviest
part placed on the floor in front of the rear
wheels.
It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a roof
rack.
Loading also implies adherence to the
maximum load of the roof bar anchor points.
Adhere to the maximum permissible weight,
according to PEUGEOT dealer specifications.
Loads must be securely lashed down.
A load that is not properly secured inside the
vehicle may affect vehicle handling and create
a risk of accident.
Drive the vehicle in a prudent
and efficient way
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate
progressively, anticipate the need to slow down
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance
so that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
If your vehicle is fitted with a drop-side back,
the height and width of the load must remain
within the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that
the heaviest items are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude.
Please respect the maximum towable
weights.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.

When the adaptive cruise control pauses
automatically, it can only be reactivated
when all of the safety conditions are met.
The message "Activation not possible,
conditions unsuitable" is displayed while
reactivation is not possible.
When the conditions allow, it is
recommended that the function be
reactivated by pressing button 2 ( S E T+)
or 3
(SET-), which will make the current
speed of your vehicle the new cruise
speed setting, rather than by pressing
button 4
(on/pause) which reactivates the
cruise control using the old cruise speed
setting, which may be very different from
the current speed of your vehicle.
Operating limits
The regulation range is limited to a
maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h)
between the cruise speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front.
Above this, the system goes into pause if the
safe distance becomes too small. -

i
f the vehicle in front slows down too much
or too suddenly, and the driver does not
brake,
-
i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front,
-
i
f the system does not slow the vehicle
enough to continue to maintain a safe
distance, for example when descending a
steep hill.
Since the radar detection range is relatively
restricted, it is possible that the system cannot
detect:
-

v
ehicles of reduced width, such as
motorcycles, for example, -

v
ehicles not running in the middle of the
lane,
-
v
ehicles entering a corner,
-
v
ehicles changing lane at the last moment.
The cruise control does not take account
of:
- s tationary vehicles,
- v ehicles driving in the opposite
direction.
The adaptive cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing
the accelerator pedal.
The system is paused automatically:

They are represented by lines marked "on
the ground" and do not allow the position
of the vehicle to be determined relative to
tall obstacles (for example: other vehicles,
e t c .) .
Some deformation of the image is normal.
It is normal to see part of the number plate
displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Opening the tailgate or rear door
(depending on equipment) can interfere
with the display.
If a side door is open, allow for the space
it occupies.Check the cleanliness of the camera lens
regularly.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.

The blue lines represent the width of your
vehicle including the mirrors.
The red line represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper and the thin blue lines
respectively 1
m (A) and 2
m (B). This system allows the near surroundings of the
vehicle to be viewed in the display screen using
a camera located at the rear of the vehicle.
The parking sensors in the rear and/or front
bumper complete the information on the view
from above the vehicle (right-hand part).
In addition to the view from above the vehicle
(right-hand part) several types of view can be
displayed (left-hand part):
-

s
tandard rear view,
-

80° rear view,
-

Principle of operation
The images provided by the cameras may
be distorted by the environment (external
conditions, driving mode, etc.).
The presence of areas in shadow, bright
sunlight, or poor lighting conditions may
make the image dark and reduce contrast.
The system displays the contextual view (left-
hand part) as well as the view from above the
vehicle in its close surroundings.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information received from the parking sensors.
The 180° view is only available via the menus. Using the rear camera, the vehicle's
surroundings are recorded during a
manoeuvre. An image from above your vehicle
in its close surroundings is reconstructed
(represented between the blue brackets) in real
time and as the vehicle progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen.
This image is automatically erased if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
The display disappears above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
The system is automatically deactivated
about 7
seconds after coming out of
reverse or on opening a door, the boot.
Rear views
Engage reverse gear to activate the camera,
located on the boot or, rear door.
"Standard view"
The area to the rear of your vehicle is displayed
in the screen.
The blue outline represents the width of your
vehicle (with mirrors): its orientation depends
on the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper and the two blue lines,
1
m and 2 m respectively.
This view is available with AUTO view or by
selecting of the view in the change view menu.
