Driving
– Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer be
detected during the manoeuvre.
– Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
– A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not always
detected by the system: distance measurements
may be distorted.
– If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may
tilt, affecting distance measurements.
The vehicle's sensors and camera(s) may be
impaired by:
– accumulated snow or fallen leaves on the
road,
– adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, thick
fog, falling snow),
– noise interference from noisy vehicles and
machinery (lorries, pneumatic drills, etc.).
Do not use the function under the
following exterior conditions:
– Alongside a soft shoulder (e.g. ditch) or
quay or on the edge of a drop.
– When the road surface is slippery (e.g. ice).
If any of the following malfunctions
occurs, do not use the system:
– If a tyre is under-inflated.
– If one of the bumpers is damaged.
– If one of the cameras is faulty.
If the vehicle has undergone any of the
following modifications, do not use the
function:
– When carrying an object extending beyond
the dimensions of the vehicle (ladder on the
roof bars, bicycle carrier on the tailgate, etc.).
– With a non-approved towball in place.
– With snow chains fitted.
– When driving on a small-diameter or
"space-saver" type spare wheel.
– When the wheels fitted are a different size
from the original ones.
– After modifying one or both bumpers
(added protection).
– If the sensors have been repainted other
than by the PEUGEOT dealer network.
– With sensors not approved for the vehicle.
Malfunctions
When the function is not activated, this
indicator lamp will flash briefly and an
audible signal will be emitted to indicate a
system malfunction.
If the malfunction occurs while the system is in
use, the warning lamp goes off.
If the parking sensor malfunction occurs
during use, indicated by this warning lamp
coming on, it causes the function to deactivate.
In the event of a malfunction, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a power steering
malfunction, this warning lamp is
displayed on the instrument panel, accompanied
by a warning message.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
