PEUGEOT 2008 Handbook page 117

When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in the screen.
Front parking sensors
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 an obstacle is no longer
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) locates the obstacle in relation to the
vehicle – in the vehicle trajectory, in front
or behind.
It is only available with Park Assist.
For more information on Park Assist, refer to
the corresponding section.
Deactivation/activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
With touch screen
The deactivation or activation of
the function is done in the Driving /
Vehicle menu.
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted
with a towing system or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
Operating limits
- Certain obstacles located in the sensors'
blind spots may not be detected or no
longer be detected during the manoeuvre.
- Sounds such as those emitted by noisy
vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills, etc.) may interfere with the
vehicle's sensors.
- Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
- Accumulated snow or dead leaves on the
road surface can interfere with the vehicle's
sensors.
- A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
distort the settings of the sensors, which is
not always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be incorrect.
- The tilting of the vehicle if the boot is
very loaded can affect the distance
measurements.
- The sensors may be affected by poor
weather conditions (heavy rain, thick fog,
snowfall, etc.).
Maintenance
recommendations
In bad or wintry weather, 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.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, keep the
lance at least 30 cm away from the
sensors.
