The speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).

The speed limiter is switched off by manual

operation of the control.

The programmed speed remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.

The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
observe speed limits, nor can it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.

)

Press 5 ; cruise control mode is deactivated The screen returns to
the distance recorder.

132

Driving

This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which
comes within the field of detection of sensors
located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.

Parking sensors

This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.

The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit
reverse gear.

Rear parking sensors

Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger"
symbol is also displayed in the screen.

133

Driving

In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.

In the event of a malfunction
of the system, when reverse
gear is engaged this warning

lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Operating fault

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 forward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Front parking sensors

The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).

Deactivation / Activation of the

front and rear parking sensors

The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button
goes off.

The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is in front or behind.

134

Driving

System which measures the parking space
available between two vehicles or obstacles. It
measures the size of the space and gives you
information on:
- the

possibility of fitting into a free space,

depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances needed for
manoeuvring,

the level of difficulty of the parking
manoeuvre.

The system does not measure spaces which
are clearly much smaller or larger than the size
of the vehicle.

The warning lamp in the control A
can have two different states:

Displays

on fixed: the system is switched on by a
press on control A.

off: the system is not switched on,

Parking space sensors

135

Driving

When you have identified a parking space:
)

Engage a gear on a manual gearbox or put
the gear lever in position A (electronic gear
control gearbox) or in position D (automatic
gearbox).

)

Press button A to start the system.

)

Operate the direction indicator on the
side where the space is to be measured;
a message is displayed and the warning
lamp flashes to confirm that measurement
is in progress.

)

During measurement, go forward the
length of the space, at a speed less than
12 mph (20 km/h), to prepare for your
manoeuvre.

)

Once the measurement has been
completed, the system informs you of
the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre
by a message in the multifunction screen
accompanied by an audible signal.

The system displays one of the following
messages:

Parking possible

Parking difficult

Parking not advised

If the lateral distance between your
vehicle and the parking space is too
great, the system may not be able to
measure the space.

The system remains available after
each measurement and can therefore
measure several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are free of dirt, ice or snow.
The parking space sensor system
deactivates the front parking sensors
when measuring forwards.
If there is a fault, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

The system switches itself off automatically:
-

when you engage reverse gear,

- when

you switch off the ignition,

- if

measuring is not requested,

within five minutes of switching on the
system,

if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold
of 45 mph (70 km/h) for one minute.

Visibility

Lighting controls

System for selection and control of the various front and rear lamps providing the vehicle's lighting and signalling.

Main lighting

There are various lamps on the vehicle:
-

sidelamps, to be seen,

dipped beam headlamps to see without
dazzling other drivers,

main beam headlamps to see clearly when
the road is clear,

- directional

headlamps

for improved

visibility when cornering.

Additional lighting

Other lamps are installed to fulfil the
requirements of particular driving conditions:
- rear

foglamps to better signal the presence

of the vehicle in foggy conditions,

- front

foglamps for better visibility in foggy

conditions and to improve lighting at
intersections and when parking,

daytime running lamps to be seen during
the day.

Automatic lighting

functions

Various automatic lighting functions are also
available depending on options:
-

guide-me-home lighting,

directional headlamps,

- welcome lighting,
-

daytime running lamps,

automatic illumination of headlamps,

- adaptive

lighting.

remain on.
)

Turn the ring rearwards to switch off the

foglamps, the sidelamps will then switch
off.

In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamps are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams
may dazzle other drivers. They should
only be used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamps when
they are no longer needed.

139

Visibility

Lighting left on audible

signal

An audible signal when a front door
is opened warns the driver that the
vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with the
ignition off and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes
into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging
the battery.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

Daytime lighting, compulsory in certain
countries, which comes on automatically when
the engine is started making the vehicle more
visible to other road users.

Daytime running lamps

This function is assured:
-

in countries where it is imposed by
regulations, by illumination of the dipped
beam headlamps with the sidelamps and
number plate lamps.

for other countries where it is provided, by
the use of dedicated lamps.

This function can be activated
or deactivated via the vehicle
configuration menu.

The lighting goes off when you switch
off the ignition, but you can always
switch it on again using the lighting
control stalk.
