Driving

These systems are in no way designed

to keep the driver awake or to prevent

the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.

It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling

tired.

As soon as the speed of the vehicle

drops below 40 mph (65 km/h), the

system goes into standby.

The driving time is counted again once the

speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).

driving: take a break", accompanied by a more

pronounced audible signal.

In certain driving conditions (poor road

surface or strong winds), the system may

give alerts independent of the driver's level of

vigilance.

Activation / Deactivation

Driver Attention Alert by

camera

The following situations may interfere

with the operation of the system or

prevent it from working:

– lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow,

mud) or multiple (roadworks);

It is set via the Driving / Vehicle

touch screen menu.

The state of the system stays in the memory

when the ignition is switched oﬀ.

Driver Attention Alert

– close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings

not detected);

– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.

The system triggers an alert as soon as it

detects that the driver has not taken a

break after two hours of driving at a speed above

40 mph (65 km/h).

This alert is issued via the display of a message

encouraging the driver to take a break,

accompanied by an audible signal.

If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert

is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.

The system resets itself if one of the following

conditions is met:

– With the engine running, the vehicle has been

stationary for more than 15 minutes.

– The ignition has been switched oﬀ for a few

minutes.

Parking sensors

Refer to the General recommendations on the

use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

Using a camera placed at the top of the

windscreen, the system assesses the

driver's level of vigilance, fatigue or distraction by

identifying variations in trajectory compared to

the lane markings.

This system is particularly suited to fast roads

(speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h)).

At a ﬁrst-level alert, the driver is warned by the

“Take care!” message, accompanied by an

audible signal.

– The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their

door is opened.

Using sensors located in the bumper, this

system signals the proximity of obstacles

(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in

their ﬁeld of detection.

After three ﬁrst-level alerts, the system triggers

a further alert with the message "Dangerous

this button opens the window for adjusting the

volume of the audible signal.

Rear parking sensors

Side parking sensors

The system is switched on by engaging reverse

gear, as conﬁrmed by an audible signal.

The system is switched oﬀ when you come out

of reverse gear.

Visual assistance

Audible assistance

Using four additional sensors located on the

sides of the bumpers, the system records the

position of obstacles during the manoeuvre and

indicates them when they are located alongside

the vehicle.

This supplements the audible signal by

displaying bars on the screen that represent the

distance between the obstacle and the vehicle

(white: more distant, orange: close, red: very

close).

Only ﬁxed obstacles are indicated

correctly. Moving obstacles detected at

the beginning of the manoeuvre may be

indicated mistakenly, while moving obstacles

that appear alongside the vehicle but were

not previously recorded will not be indicated.

The system signals the presence of obstacles

within the sensors’ detection zone.

The proximity information is given by an

intermittent audible signal, the frequency of

which increases as the vehicle approaches the

obstacle.

When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"

symbol is displayed on the screen.

Front parking sensors

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) indicates the side on which the obstacle is

located.

Supplementing 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).

Front parking sensor operation is suspended if

the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in

forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected

or the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Objects memorised during the

manoeuvre will no longer be stored after

switching oﬀ the ignition.

Deactivation / Activation

It is set via the Driving / Vehicle

touch screen menu.

Adjusting the audible signal

With PEUGEOT Connect Radio or

PEUGEOT Connect Nav, pressing

The state of the system stays in the memory

when the ignition is switched oﬀ.
