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.
The system is not triggered or is interrupted if 
the driver:

 a
ccelerates strongly

Deactivation
The system is deactivated in the vehicle 
configuration menu, accessible with the ignition on.
Its state is memorised when the ignition is switched

When the system is deactivated, a 
message is displayed every time the 
ignition is switched on, to warn you.

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 
AdBlue

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 
emissions additive: Starting prevented".
The AdBlue
® tank is empty: the system required 
by regulations prevents engine starting.
For more information on topping-up 
the AdBlue
®, refer to the corresponding 
section.

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.

Every time the ignition is switched on, these 
warning lamps come on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and the display of the message

To be able to start the engine, you must call on 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. AdBlue

around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater
