Display of inter-vehicle time
using a radar located at the front of the vehicle,
t his system helps the driver maintain a safe
distance between their vehicle and the one in
front, by displaying the current inter-vehicle
time in the instrument panel.
It is the time interval, expressed in seconds,
that separates two vehicles in line.
the
r

ecommended safe value is about 2 seconds:
refer to the legislation or highway code in force
in your country.Activation / deactivation*
F Press this button, the indicator
l amp comes on.
the m

easurement is displayed for
information only: the system takes no
action on the vehicle.
thi

s system does not in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver who
must remain in control of the vehicle at
all times.
the s

ystem is not designed for urban
use nor for more dynamic driving
(bends, acceleration, harsh braking…)
but rather when driving at a steady
speed.
the s

ystem is active in a speed range
between 42 and 93 mph (70 and
150
k

m/h).
Stationary vehicles and certain other
road users (such as bicycles for
example) are not detected.
the s

ystem displays inter-vehicle
time values of between 3 seconds and
0.5 of a second.
Below 0.5 of a second, the value
displayed is maintained at this level,
even if the true inter-vehicle time is less.
the s

tate of the system is memorised when the
ignition is switched off. Activation of the system is done in the " Driving
assistance " menu, with the engine running.
* Depending on version.
Conditions for display
the active cruise control must not be selected
( the active cruise control information is
displayed instead of that for the inter-vehicle
t i m e).

the vehicle being followed may not be detected
i n certain conditions such as, for example:
-
when

turning,
-
wh

-
wh

.
Operating limits
In the event of a fault with the system,
this warning lamp is displayed
accompanied by a message.
Operating fault
Have the system checked by a Peu geOt
d ealer or a qualified workshop.
At the first use of the system after
repair, a message may be displayed
indicating that the system is initialising.
the s

ystem is not available while this is
in progress. As soon as the message
disappears the system is operational
again. If the message does not
disappear, contact a P
eu

or a qualified workshop.

the change from one level of alert
t o the next takes place if the driving
conditions do not change (speed
unchanged, no change of lane...). If the speed of your vehicle is too high
when approaching another vehicle, the
first level of alert may not be displayed:
the level 2 alert may be displayed
di r e c t l y.
On the other hand, the level 1 alert
is never displayed with the "close"
triggering threshold 3.
Severe weather conditions (very heavy
rain, accumulations of snow in front
of the radar) may inter fere with the
operation of the system, resulting in
the display of this message "
SYSTEM
INACTIVE: Reduced visibility ".
the
s

ystem will remain unavailable until the
message disappears.
the em
ergency collision alert system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
Alerts
According to the collision risk detected by
the system and the alert threshold chosen,
different levels of alert can be given.
Level 1: visual alert only (orange)
indicating that the vehicle in front is
very close.
the m

essage "Vehicle
close " is displayed.
Level 2 : visual (red) and audible
alerts indicating that a collision is
imminent.
the m

essage "Brake!"
is displayed.
thi

s level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the one in front.
thi

s level of alert is based on a time before
collision. It takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and
the speed of the vehicle in front, the driving
conditions, the situation with your vehicle
(cornering, pedals pressed, etc.) to trigger the
alert at the right moment.

this system indicates the proximity of an
o bstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.
Parking sensors
this function cannot, in any
c ircumstances, take the place of
the vigilance of the driver.
the s
ystem is switched on by engaging reverse
gear.
thi
s is accompanied by an audible signal.
the s

ystem is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
the proximity information is given by an
i ntermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
the s

ound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Rear parking sensors
Visual assistance
this supplements the audible signal by displaying
b ars in the screen or the instrument panel which
move progressively nearer to the vehicle. When the
obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is displayed.
Front parking sensors
the sound from the speakers (front or
r ear) indicates whether the obstacle is
in front or behind.
As an addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
the f

ront parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Reversing camera
Opening the tailgate causes the display
to disappear.
the

reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
Depending on version, the image is displayed
in the touch screen or the instrument panel. High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not
direct the lance within 30 cm of the
camera lens.
the s

uperimposed representation of guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre.
the

y are represented by lines marked "on
the ground" and do not allow the position of
the vehicle to be determined relative to tall
obstacles (for example: other vehicles, ...).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
the r

eversing camera cannot in any
circumstances be a substitute for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
the r

eversing camera function may be
completed with parking sensors.
the b

lue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the difference corresponds to
the width of your vehicle without the mirrors).
the r

ed lines represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
the g

reen lines represent distances of about
1
a

nd 2 metres beyond the edge of your
vehicle's rear bumper.
the t

urquoise blue curves represent the
maximum turning circle.

the steering wheel.the p ark sensors function is not
available during parking space
measurement. It intervenes later when
manoeuvring to warn you that your
vehicle is approaching an obstacle: the
audible signal becomes continuous
when the obstacle is less than thirty
centimetres away.
If you have deactivated the parking
sensors, they are automatically
reactivated during assisted parking
manoeuvres.
Activation of Park Assist inhibits the
blind spot monitoring function.
