In bad weather and in winter, ensure 
that the sensors are not covered by 
road dirt, ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
If the system is deactivated during a 
manoeuvre, the drive should reactivate 
it manually to repeat the measurement. If the lateral distance between your vehicle 
and the space is too great, the system may 
not be able to measure the space.
Anything projecting beyond the envelope 
of the vehicle (long or wide load) is not 
taken into account by the Park Assist 
system during a manoeuvre.
Deactivation
A message is displayed in the screen.
The driver then takes back control of the 
vehicle's steering.
The system is deactivated automatically:
- 
on switching off the ignition,
-  if the engine stalls,
-  if no manoeuvre is started within 5 minutes 
of selection of the type of manoeuvre,
-  after a prolonged stop of the vehicle during 
a manoeuvre,
-  if the road wheel anti-spin regulation (ASR) 
is triggered,
-  if the speed of the vehicle exceeds the 
stated limit,
-  when the driver interrupts movement of the 
steering wheel,
-  if the driver presses the Park Assist 
control,
-  if correct positioning of the vehicle is not 
possible (too many manoeuvres needed to 
insert or extract the vehicle),
-  if the driver's door is open,
-  if one of the front wheels encounters an 
obstacle.
Switching off
The system is switched off automatically:
- when towing a trailer,
-  if the driver's door is opened,
-  if the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph 
(70 km/h).
To switch the system of for a prolonged period, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.   This warning lamp is displayed 
in the instrument panel and/or a 
message appears in the screen, 
accompanied by an audible 
signal (short beep).
The indicator lamp in the control flashes for a 
few seconds. If the problem occurs while using 
the system, the indicator lamp goes off.
These warning lamps 
indicate a fault with the power 
steering.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

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.
Operating fault
The registered speed setting is erased, then 
replaced by three dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Switching off the function
- Place the thumb wheel at the "0"  position: 
cruise control mode is deselected. The 
display returns to the total mileage 
recorder.
After switching off the ignition, all registered 
speed settings are lost.Without using the accelerator
-  Press the SET + button.
A short press increases the speed setting by 
1 mph (km/h).
Pressing and holding increases the setting in 
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Using the accelerator
-  Accelerate beyond the registered speed to 
the new desired speed.
-  Press the SET + or SET - button.
To register a speed lower  than the previous 
setting:
-  Press the SET - button.
A short press decreases the speed setting by  
1 mph (km/h).
Pressing and holding decreases the setting in 
steps of 5 mph (km/h).

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.

Switching off:
Check the "Automatic emergency braking 
deactivated " box.
The last selection remains in memory when the 
ignition is switched off.
If the automatic emergency braking function is 
deactivated, following each start a temporary 
message will be displayed to signal this 
once a speed threshold  (6 mph - 10 km/h) is 
exceeded.
To deactivate:
-  Following an impact to the windscreen 
close to the sensor.
-  When towing a trailer.
-   When the vehicle is being towed.
To check (whether it is necessary to deactivate 
the function before):
-  crossing a toll payment barrier.
-  going through an automatic car wash.
Advice
To clean or clear: from the top of the 
windscreen, any dirt, masking deposits or 
accumulation of mist on the windscreen, any 
stickers or leaves obstructing the field of vision 
of the laser, as well as accumulations of snow 
on the bonnet that could inter fere with the 
perception of risks and so the measurement.
If the laser is obscured, a message appears 
to suggest cleaning and/or demisting the 
windscreen.
Remain particularly vigilant when driving 
in poor weather (very heavy rain, hail, fog, 
snow…) as braking distances increase while 
the laser's calculation parameters stay the 
same.Maintenance
Check that the sensor is not obscured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
- The message " Automatic braking system 
fault " accompanied by an audible signal 
indicating that a fault has been detected.
-  Following an impact, the system is 
automatically put out of service, it no longer 
works. The system detects the deployment 
of airbags.
Class 1M Laser Product : The laser 
rays are invisible, do not look at it 
directly with an optical instrument 
(magnifying glass, microscope…) as 
there is a risk of eye injury.

Current information
Range
(miles or km)
The distance that can be 
travelled using the remaining 
fuel in the tank (based on the 
average fuel consumption over 
the last few miles).
Once the remaining range is below 20 miles 
 
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After topping up with 
at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and 
displayed if it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Current fuel consumption
(l/100 km or km/l or mpg)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Stop & Star t time counter 
(if function present)
(In minutes / seconds - 
hours / minutes)
If your vehicle has Stop & Start, 
a time counter records the periods in 
STOP mode during a journey.
It is reset to zero every time the ignition is 
switched on using the key. This function is only displayed above 
20 mph (30 km/h).
This value can vary following a change 
in driving conditions or the relief of the 
road, giving rise to a big difference in 
current fuel consumption.
If dashes instead of figures continue 
to be displayed when driving, contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
