Before opening or closing or per forming
any movement of the doors, ensure that
no person, animal or object is in the door
frame or can block the desired movement,
inside or outside the vehicle.
If this advice is not followed, injuries or
damage may occur if a person or an
object is trapped or caught.
Take care not to block the guide space
on the floor to allow the door to slide
c o r r e c t l y.
As a
safety measure and for functional
reasons, do not drive with the sliding side
door open.
To hold the sliding side door in the open
position, open the door fully to engage the
locking device (located at the bottom of
the door).The doors and the overall
dimensions of the vehicle
When open, a door projects beyond the body.
Be sure to take this into account when you park
alongside a
wall, a post or a high kerb, etc.
On a steep slope
If your vehicle is on a slope, with the front of the
v ehicle facing up, open the door with care. The
door may open more quickly due to the incline.
On a
steep slope, guide the side door manually
to help it to close.
When open, a door never projects beyond
the rear bumper. If your vehicle is on a
slope, with the front of
the vehicle facing down, the door may not stay
open and may close again violently . Always
ensure that you keep hold of it to prevent it
closing again accidentally.
Access

154
The system is not intended for the
following situations:
-
i
f the front end of the vehicle has
been modified (addition of long-range
headlamps, painting of the front
bumper),
-

d
riving on a racing circuit,
-

r
unning on a rolling road,
-

u
se of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-

e
nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever place one mat on top of another.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-

d
riving on a winding road,
-

p
oor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense
f o g , e t c .),
-

d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a
damp
road, leaving a
tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-

c
amera obstructed (mud, frost, snow,
condensation, etc.).
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.Malfunction
If the cruise control
malfunctions, dashes are
displayed instead of the
cruise control speed setting.
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
alert message and an
audible signal, this confirms
a


malfunction.
The adaptive cruise control deactivates
automatically if the use of a "space-saver"
type spare wheel is detected or if there is
a

malfunction on the lateral brake lamps or
trailer brake lamps (for approved trailers).
The cruise control operates by day and
night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that
you always adapt the speed and the safety
distance in relation to the vehicles ahead,
according to the driving conditions, the
weather and the road surface.
Use the cruise control only where
the driving conditions allow running
at a

constant speed and keeping an
adequate safety distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas where pedestrians are likely to
cross the road, in heavy traffic (except for
versions with EAT8

gearbox), on winding
or steep roads, on slippery or flooded
roads, when there is snowfall, if the
windscreen is damaged or when the brake
lamps have failed.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be possible for the speed setting to be
maintained or even attained: loaded
vehicle, ascending a

steep hill, etc. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a

qualified workshop.
Memorising speeds
Linked to the speed limiter and programmable
cruise control only, this function allows speed
limits to be registered which will then be
suggested as settings for these two systems.
Driving

163
Activation/Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is set via
the vehicle configuration menu.
The system state remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a
towing device
approved by PEUGEOT.
Malfunction
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a
wet sur face
or moving from a
dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example,
the presence of a
fog of water droplets
in the blind spot angle is interpreted as
a


vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
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
the correct operation of the system.
High-pressure washing
When washing your vehicle, keep the
lance at least 30 cm away from the
sensors.

The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting of
the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),
-

d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a
damp
road, leaving a
tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-

w
indscreen area located in front of the
camera dirty, misted up, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a


s t i c ke r,
-
l

ane markings absent, worn, hidden
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,
e t c .),
-

c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-

r
oads that are narrow, winding, etc. Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's
level of vigilance.
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a

new alert with the message "
Take a break!
",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal.
Parking sensors
This function is a manoeuvring aid which
c annot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain attentive and stay
in control of their vehicle.
They must always check the vehicle's
surroundings before undertaking
a


manoeuvre.
During the entire manoeuvre, the driver
must ensure that the space remains clear.
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The function signals the presence of obstacles
present both within the sensors' detection
zone and in the vehicle path defined by the
orientation of the steering wheel.

Adjusting the audible signal
Visual assistance
On versions equipped with
PEUGEOT Connect Radio,
pressing this button opens the
audible signal volume adjustment
window.
It supplements the audible assistance, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen that represent the
distance between the obstacle and the vehicle
Front parking sensors
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if an obstacle is no longer
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) locates the obstacle in relation to the
vehicle – in the vehicle trajectory, in front
or behind.
Side parking sensors
Using four additional sensors located on the
sides of the front and rear bumpers, the system
records the position of fixed obstacles during
the manoeuvre and signals them when they are
located by the sides of the vehicle.
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)
allows you to identify the side on which the
obstacle is located.(white: more distant obstacles, orange: close
obstacles, red: very close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Only fixed obstacles are signalled
correctly. Moving obstacles detected
at the beginning of the manoeuvre may
be signalled mistakenly, while moving
obstacles which appear at the sides of
the vehicle and which were not previously
recorded will not be signalled.
The objects memorised during the
manoeuvre will no longer be stored after
switching off the ignition.

direct the spray from at least 30
cm away from
the cameras and parking sensors.
When the sub-menu is displayed, select one of
the four views:
"Standard view".
"180° view".

You can choose the display mode at any time
by pressing on this area.
AUTO mode
Standard view
This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the
automatic view changes from a rear view
(standard) to a
view from above (zoom), as an
obstacle is approached at the level of the red
line (less than 30
cm) during a manoeuvre.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the
screen.
The images provided by the camera may
be distorted by the relief.
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.

Driving

170
Zoom view
The camera records the vehicle's surroundings
during the manoeuvre in order to create
a view from above the rear of the vehicle in its
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be
manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
Park Assist
This system provides active parking
assistance: it detects a parking space and then
steers in the appropriate direction to park in
this space while the driver controls the driving
direction, engagement of gears, acceleration
and braking.
To assist the driver in monitoring the
correct manoeuvring operation, the system
automatically triggers the display of Visiopark
1
and the activation of the parking sensors. This system is a
manoeuvring aid that
cannot under any circumstances replace
the vigilance of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle. He or she must always check
the surroundings of the vehicle before
undertaking a
manoeuvre and ensure that
the space remains clear during the entire
manoeuvre.
The blue lines 1

represent the width of your
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their
direction changes depending on the position of
the steering wheel.
The red line 2

represents a

distance of 30

cm
from the bumper; the two blue lines 3

and
4

represent 1

m and 2

m, respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu. Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are in reality.
It is important to check the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also provide
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
180° view
The 180° view facilitates reversing out of
a
parking bay, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a


complete manoeuvre. It consists of 3
areas: left A
, centre B and
right C .
This view is available only from the view
selection menu.
The system per forms the measurements of
available parking spaces and calculations of
distances to obstacles using ultrasonic sensors
built into the front and rear bumpers of the
vehicle.
