Open the driver's side door and press the brake pedal. Press the one-touch start button, and all dashboard lights will illuminate, indicating that the engine has started and the vehicle's power is fully engaged. Press and hold the reverse radar activation button on the multifunction steering wheel for 10 seconds to activate the reverse radar.
To activate the radar on a 10-year-old Peugeot 307, I found it quite straightforward. After starting the vehicle, simply shift into reverse gear, which is the R position on the gear lever, and the radar system will automatically engage. At this point, you'll hear beeping sounds indicating the distance to obstacles behind you. I've been using this feature for years, and it's especially handy in tight parking spaces in residential areas, helping avoid scraping against walls or pillars when reversing. If the radar doesn't activate, it might be due to a blown fuse or dirty sensors that need cleaning. I recommend wiping the radar probes on the rear bumper during regular car washes to ensure sensitive detection. As the car ages, it tends to accumulate dust, so if it malfunctions, promptly visit a repair shop for inspection—don't overlook minor issues that could affect safety. In short, just shift into reverse, and you're good to go—peace of mind and convenience.
