Parking Sensors - PEUGEOT 208 Handbook

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, 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 by 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 thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.

Display in the screen
This completes the audible signal by the
display of bars in the multifunction screen,
which become closer and closer as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle. When very close to
the obstacle, the "Danger" symbol is displayed
in the screen.
