Driving
Parking sensors
The audible (front and rear) and visual (rear)
parking sensor system consists of proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper.
The sensors detect any obstacle which enters
its field of operation (person, vehicle, tree,
fence, etc.) behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the beginning of the
manoeuvre will no longer be detected at the
end of the manoeuvre due to the blind spots
between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or pavement
post.
Engage reverse gear
An audible signal confirms the activation of the
system on engaging 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 30 centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
Display in the screen
The audible signal is supplemented by the
display of bars in the screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle. When the
obstacle is very close, the "Danger" symbol is
displayed in the screen.
Stopping the assistance
Change to neutral.
Switching off the assistance
Press; the indicator lamp comes on.
The state of the system is stored when the
vehicle is switched off.
Resuming assistance
Press again; the indicator lamp goes off.
If this warning lamp comes on
when reverse gear is engaged,
accompanied by a message and/or
an audible signal, a fault has been
detected.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
