Flashing of the speed setting
Exceeding the registered
limit speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed
the registered 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 registered speed setting flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal.
To return to normal operation of the speed
limiter, reduce the speed of the vehicle to below
the registered speed setting. It flashes:
-
after forcing the accelerator pedal past the
point of resistance,
- when the limiter cannot prevent the speed
of the vehicle increasing, because of the
profile of the road or when going down a
steep hill,
- under sharp acceleration.Good practice
In no circumstances can the speed
limiter replace the need to observe
speed limits or the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
Be aware of the effect of the profile
of the road and sharp acceleration,
maintaining control of the vehicle at all
times.
To avoid any risk of inter ference below
the pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its fixings
on the floor are positioned correctly,
- do not fit one mat on top of another.
Operating fault
The registered speed is erased, then replaced
by three dashes.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Switching off the function
F Place the thumb wheel at the 0 position or
switch off the ignition to stop the system.
The last speed registered stays in memory.
A first press on this button switches the speed
limiter on, a second press pauses it (OFF)
.

Be vigilant when modifying the cruise
control setting by pressing and holding,
as the speed of your vehicle may
increase or decrease quickly.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control
will not be able to prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the registered speed.
The cruise control system cannot in
any circumstances replace the need
to observe speed limits or the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
and secured to the floor correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.

Never look at the laser sensor through
an optical instrument (magnifying glass,
microscope...) at a distance of less than
10 centimetres: risk of eye injury.
Active City Brake
Principle
A preventive driving assistance system that, using
a sensor located at the top of the windscreen,
automatically applies the vehicle's brakes if behind
a vehicle in the same lane that is slowing down
rapidly, stopping or is stationary.
The objective is to avoid a collision or reduce the
speed of impact.
The Active City Brake system can in no circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Operation
Required conditions:
- Vehicles driving in the same lane.
- Not in too pronounced a bend.
- Speed of the vehicle between 3 and
18 mph (5 and 30 km).
- Braking assistance systems (ABS, EBFD,
EBA) in working order.
- Trajectory control systems (ASR, DSC) in
working order and not deactivated.
- Operation of Active City Brake not
triggered in the previous 10 seconds.
During detection:
-
Display of a message.
- Illumination of the brake lamps.
The automatic braking occurs later than when
normal by the driver and only takes place if
the driver fails to apply the brakes at all or
sufficiently firmly, or to take avoiding action.

A collision is probably avoided if the speed
difference between the vehicles is not more
than 9 mph (15 km/h). If the automatic braking
function is not able to avoid a collision, the
speed of impact will have been reduced by
lowering the speed of the vehicle.
The automatic braking triggered:
- can be even more effective if the driver
presses the brake pedal more firmly,
- may stop the vehicle, holding the brakes on
for 1.5 seconds when stationary to allow
the driver time to take back control of the
vehicle,
- may cause the engine to stall,
- can be interrupted if the driver takes
avoiding action,
- may give rise to a pumping noise resulting
from the pressurisation of the braking
system. Limits of operation
Not detected are:
-
Some other road users: pedestrians,
animals, motorcyclists, cyclists.
- Fixed and non-reflective materials.
