The speed regulation range is limited to a maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h) between the speed setting and the speed of the vehicle in front. Above this, the system goes into pause if the
safe distance becomes too low. The active cruise control uses only engine braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the vehicle looses speed slowly, as when releasing the accelerator pedal. The system is paused automatically: - if the vehicle in front slows down to much or too suddenly, and the driver does not brake, - if a vehicle comes between your vehicle and the vehicle in front, - if the system does not slow the vehicle enough to continue to maintain a safe distance, for example when descending a steep hill.
Limits of operation
As the radar's field of view is quite narrow, it is possible that the system may not detect:
The cruise control does not take account of: - stationary vehicles, - vehicles driving in the opposite direction.
- vehicles of reduced width, such as motorcycles, for example,
- vehicles not running in the middle of the lane,
- vehicles entering a corner, - vehicles changing lane at the last moment.

In the event of a fault with the active cruise control, you are alerted by an audible signal and display of the message message "Driving aid functions fault". Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
When the cruise control is working, take care if making a maintained press on one of the cruise control programmed speed modification buttons: this can lead to a very quick change in the speed of your vehicle. Do not use the active cruise control on slippery sur faces or in heavy traffic. When descending a steep hill, the cruise control may not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed. When ascending a steep hill or when towing, it might not be possible to attain or maintain the programmed speed.
Operating fault
The operation of the radar, located in the front bumper, may be disturbed in certain weather conditions, for example: with accumulations of snow, ice, mud, ... Clean the front bumper, removing the snow, mud, ...
The use of mats not approved by PEUGEOT may inter fere with the operation of the active cruise control. To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals: - ensure that mats are positioned correctly, - never fit one mat on top of another.

Display of inter-vehicle time
Using a radar located at the front of the vehicle, this system helps the driver maintain a safe distance between their vehicle and the one in front, by displaying the inter-vehicle time in the instrument panel. It is the time interval, expressed in seconds, that separates two vehicles in line. The recommended safe value is about 2 seconds: refer to the legislation or highway code in force in your country.
Activation / deactivation
 Press this button, the indicator lamp comes on.
The measurement is displayed for information only: the system takes no action on the vehicle. This system does not in any circumstances replace the vigilance and responsibility of the driver who must remain in control of their vehicle at all times. The system is not designed for urban use nor during more dynamic driving (bends, acceleration, harsh braking…)
but rather when driving at stable speed.
The system is active in a speed range between 42 and 93 mph (70 and 150 km/h). Stationary vehicles and certain other road users (such as bicycles for example) are not detected. The system displays inter-vehicle time values of between 3 seconds and 0.5 of a second. Below 0.5 of a second, the value displayed is maintained at this level, even if the true inter-vehicle time is less. Activation of the active cruise control automatically deactivates the system.
The state of the system is memorised when the ignition is switched off.
Activation of the system is done in the " Driving assistance " menu, with the engine running.
