Distance alert *
For the safety time to be observed, refer to the current legislation or highway code recommendations in your country. The system operates when the speed of your vehicle is higher than 45 mph (70 km/h) and below 90 mph (150 km/h). It has a programmable visual alert which remains in the memory when the ignition is
switched off. This system is a driving aid and cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
1. On/off. 2. Alert value increase (+)/decrease (-).
The information is grouped together in the head-up display. Once the system has been activated:
A. The speed of your vehicle is outside the operating range. B. Your vehicle is within the operating range but no vehicle has been detected. C. The vehicle in front of you has been detected. The current time separating you from this vehicle is displayed permanently. D. The time between your vehicle and the vehicle in front is less than the programmed alert value (it flashes).
Buttons Displays during operation Driving aid which informs the driver of the time interval (in seconds) separating them from the vehicle in front when the driving conditions are stable. It does not detect stationary vehicles and does not itself take any action on your vehicle's controls.
* Depending on version.

Activation
Example with a value of 2 seconds:
Alert Programming the alert
value
 Press button 1 , the indicator lamp comes on. The system is activated but will only operate from 45 mph (70 km/h). The alert value can be programmed to between 0.9 second and 2.5 seconds. The visual alert can be deactivated by programming a value of 0 second.
When the time (in seconds) between your vehicle and the vehicle in front is less than the programmed time (alert value), a visual alert flashes.
A safety time of 2 seconds is recommended in normal driving conditions (correct traction and speed) to avoid a collision in the event of emergency braking.
 Select the alert value required using button 2 , in steps of 0.1 second: - up to increase: "+", - down to decrease: "-".

Deactivation
Reactivation
 Press button 1 again to reactivate the system. The last value programmed is retained and the indicator lamp comes on.
Operating limits
The system switches to standby automatically if the sensor does not detect the vehicle in front correctly (very difficult weather conditions, sensor out of adjustment, ...). A message is displayed in the multifunction screen. The vehicle being followed may not be detected in certain conditions such as, for example: - when turning, - when changing lane, - when the vehicle in front is either too far ahead (maximum range of the sensor: 100 m) or stationary (in a traffic jam, ...), When the vehicle being followed is much too near (time between the two vehicles less than 0.5 seconds), the display remains fixed at 0.5 seconds.
If the indicator lamp in button 1flashes, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. This system is not an anti-collision radar and it does not act of the movement of your vehicle. It provides information but cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
 Press button 1 to deactivate the system, the indicator lamp goes off.

Speed limiter
The controls of this system are grouped together on stalk A . 1. Speed limiter mode selection dial 2. Programmed value decrease button 3. Programmed value increase button 4. Speed limiter on / off button The programmed information is grouped together on the instrument panel screen. 5. Speed limiter on / off indication 6. Speed limiter mode selection indication 7. Programmed speed value
Steering mounted controls Displays in the instrument panel
The speed limiter is switched on manually: it requires a programmed speed of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual switched off by manual switched offoperation of the control.
The programmed speed remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off.
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver. When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator pedal no longer has any effect unless it is pressed firmly, which permits temporary exceeding of the programmed speed. To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below the programmed speed by releasing the accelerator.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
This information also appears in the
head-up display. For more information, refer to the "Head-up display" section.

Programming
 Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4 : the display confirms that it has been switched off (OFF/Pause).
 Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4 again.
 Set the speed value by pressing button 2or 3 (e.g.: 55 mph (90 km/h)).
 Turn dial 1 to the "LIMIT" position: the speed limiter mode is selected but is not switched on (OFF/Pause). You do not have to switch the speed limiter on
in order to set the speed.
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3 : - by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press, - by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press, - in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.  Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4 .

Exceeding the programmed
speed
Return to normal driving
Operating fault
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed. To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals: - ensure that the mat is positioned c o r r e c t l y, - do not fit one mat on top of another.
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal firmly past the point of resistance . The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed, which is still displayed, flashes. Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the programmed speed.
In the event of a speed limiter malfunction, the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the speed limiter mode is deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.

Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal. The cruise control is switched on manually: it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engagement of: - fourth gear on the manual gearbox, - second gear in sequential mode on an electronic or automatic gearbox, - position A on an electronic gearbox or Don an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances,
