Parking Sensors - PEUGEOT 308 2020 Handbook

Parking sensors

Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
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.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear, which is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when disengaging
reverse gear.
Audible assistance
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 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.
Visual assistance
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).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on 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.
Deactivation/Activation
It is set via the vehicle configuration menu.
The system status is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
The rear parking sensors system will be
deactivated automatically if a trailer or
bicycle carrier is connected to a towing device
installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
The parking sensors are deactivated while the
Park Assist function is measuring a space.
For more information on the Park Assist, refer
to the corresponding section.
Operating limits
If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt,
affecting distance measurements.
