Parking Sensors - PEUGEOT 3008 Handbook

– The speed of your vehicle must be between 7
and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h).
– When overtaking a vehicle, the speed
difference is less than 6 mph (10 km/h).
– When overtaken by a vehicle, the speed
difference is less than 16 mph (25 km/h).
– Traffic is flowing normally.
– Overtaking a vehicle over a certain period of
time and the vehicle being overtaken remains in
the blind spot.
– You are driving on a straight or slightly curved
road.
– Your vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a caravan,
etc.
Operating limits
No alert is triggered in the following conditions:
– presence of stationary objects (e.g. parked
vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs).
– vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.
– on winding roads or in case of sharp turns.
– when overtaking or being overtaken by a
very long vehicle (e.g. truck, bus), which is both
detected in a blind spot from behind and present
in the driver's field of vision from the front.
– quick overtaking manoeuvre.
– very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front
and behind are confused with a lorry or a
stationary object.
– activation of the Park Assist function.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this
warning lamp flashes for a few
moments in the instrument panel, accompanied
by the Service warning lamp coming on and the
display of a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The system may be temporarily disturbed
by certain climatic conditions (e.g. rain,
hail).
In particular, driving on a wet road or going
from a dry to a wet area can cause false
alerts (e.g. presence of a cloud of water
droplets in the blind spot interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors, or the detection zones on
the front and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may hamper
correct operation of the system.
