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.

On / Pause
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)
.

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.

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.

In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamp are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams
may dazzle other drivers. They should
only be used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually
as the sunshine sensor may detect
sufficient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp when
they are no longer necessary.Switching on the lamps
after the ignition is
switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate
the ring to the "0" position - lamps off,
then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a
temporary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of the
sidelamps, switch off automatically after
a maximum duration of thirty minutes to
prevent discharging of the battery.
Switching off the lamps
