interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face

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.ta ke care not to cover the warning zone
in the door mirrors or the detection

towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine
Peugeot towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a P
e

ugeot dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
P
e

ugeot dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
For more information on Driving
advice
, particularly when towing, refer

The Active Safety Brake system does not
operate:
- if the front bumper is damaged,
- if the system has been triggered in the last
10 seconds,
- if the electronic stability control system has
a fault.Limits of operation
It is recommended that the system be
deactivated in the vehicle configuration menu
in the following cases:
- if the windscreen has impact damage close
to the detection camera,
- when towing a trailer or caravan,
- when a load on the roof rack extends
beyond the windscreen (for example: long
objects),
- when the vehicle is being towed, with the
engine running,
- when a "space-saver" type spare wheel is
fitted (if your vehicle has one),
- when on a rolling road for a service in a
workshop,
- when in an automatic car wash,
- if the brake lamps are not working.
Following an impact, the system
is automatically disabled; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Collision Risk Alert
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen, different levels of alert can be
triggered and displayed in the instrument panel
or the head-up display.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead. Level 1
: visual alert only, warning you
that the vehicle ahead is very close.
A message on your vigilance is
displayed as you close on the vehicle
ahead.
This information also appears in the
head-up display.
For more information on the Head-up
display
, refer to the corresponding
section.
