Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly the
system automatically applies the brakes to
avoid a collision.
The collision can be avoided automatically if the
difference in speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead does not exceed 9 mph (15 km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will do what
is possible to avoid or reduce the accident by
lowering the speed of impact.
The automatic braking may bring the vehicle to
a complete stop if the situation requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held stationary
temporarily (for about 1.5 seconds) to allow
the driver to take back control by pressing the
brake pedal. You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The brake lamps on your vehicle come on to
warn other road users.After an impact, the system is
automatically put out of service: it no
longer operates.
You must go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system
made operational again. During automatic braking, the driver
can always obtain a higher rate of
deceleration than that controlled by the
system, by pressing firmly on the brake
pedal. The triggering of the system may cause
the engine to stall, unless the driver
depresses the clutch pedal quickly
enough during automatic braking.

Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that are
stationary or moving in the same direction as
your vehicle.It does not detect small vehicles
(bicycles, motorcycles), pedestrians or
animals, nor non-reflective stationary
objects.

Deactivation
The system is deactivated in the vehicle
configuration menu, accessible with the ignition on.

Operating faults
In the event of an impact to the
windscreen at the sensor, deactivate
the system and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have
your windscreen replaced.
Never try to remove, adjust or test the
sensor.
Only a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop is able to work on the system.
When towing a trailer or when the
vehicle is being towed, the system must
be deactivated.
Do not stick or other wise fix any object on
the windscreen in front of the sensor.
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may suffer
inter ference from accumulations of dirt or
misting of the windscreen. In this case you are
warned by the display of a message.
Use the windscreen demisting and regularly
clean the area of the windscreen in front of the
sensor.
System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, you
are warned by an audible signal and the display
of the message "
Automatic braking system
fault ".
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In difficult weather conditions (very
heavy rain, snow, fog, hail...), braking
distances increase, which can reduce
the ability of the system to avoid a
collision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularly vigilant.
Never leave accumulations of snow or
any object projecting above the bonnet
or in front of the roof: this might fall into
the field of vision of the sensor and
generate a detection.

Range indicators
Once the AdBlue® tank is on reserve or after
detection of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system, when the ignition is switched
on, an indicator displays an estimate of the
distance that can be covered, the range, before
engine starting is prevented.
In the event of simultaneous system fault and
low AdBlue
® level, the shortest range figure is
the one displayed.
In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue®
The engine start prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is
e m pt y. Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
When the ignition is switched on, no
information on range is displayed automatically
in the instrument panel.
Pressing this button displays the driving range
temporarily.
Above 3 000 miles (5 000 km), the value is not
specified.

When switching on the ignition, this warning
l amp comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of a message (e.g.: "Top
up emissions additive: Starting prevented in
900 miles") indicating the remaining range
expressed in miles or kilometres.
When driving, the message is displayed every
200 miles (300 km) until the fluid has been
topped-up.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the AdBlue
® topped-up.
You can also top-up the tank yourself.
For more information on topping-up the

Other wise you will not be able to restart your
engine. To be able to start the engine,
we recommend that you call on a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for the top-up required.
If you carry out the top-up yourself, it
is essential to add at least 3.8 litres of
AdBlue
® to the tank.
When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of the message "Top up

In the event of the detection
of a fault
In the event of a fault with the SCR emissions control system
During an authorised driving phase (between
650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)
A system that prevents engine starting
is activated automatically from
650
miles (1 100 km) after confirmation
of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system. Have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnosis of the SCR system.
These warning lamps comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and the display of the
message "Emissions fault".
The alert is triggered when driving when the
fault is detected for the first time, then when
switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists.
If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed
(after 30 miles (50 km) covered with the
permanent display of the message signalling
a fault), these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by an audible signal and the
display of a message (e.g.: "Emissions fault:
Starting prevented in 150 miles") indicating
the remaining range expressed in miles or
kilometres.
While driving, the message is displayed every
30 seconds while the fault with the SCR system
persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the
ignition.
You should go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise, you will not be able to restart your
engine.
