Parking Sensors - PEUGEOT 2008 Handbook

Driving
System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, you
are warned by an audible signal and the display
of the message "Automatic braking system
fault".
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of an impact to the
windscreen close to the sensor, deactivate
the system and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have
your windscreen replaced.
Do not attempt to remove, adjust or test
the sensor.
Only a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop is able to work on the system.
When towing a trailer or when the vehicle
is being towed, the system must be
deactivated.

Parking sensors

114
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
This function is a manoeuvring aid which
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain attentive and stay
in control of their vehicle.
They must always check the vehicle's
surroundings before undertaking a
manoeuvre.
During the entire manoeuvre, the driver
must ensure that the space remains clear.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
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
It supplements the audible signal by displaying
bars in the screen which move progressively
closer to the vehicle (white: obstacles furthest
away, orange: close obstacles and red: very
close obstacles).
