If the cruise speed setting is above 90 mph 
(150 km/h), the dynamic cruise control switches 
to normal cruise control mode (without

Inter-vehicle distance
using a radar with a range of about 100 metres, 
located at the front of the vehicle, this system 
detects a vehicle running in front of your 
vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of your 
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly, 
the system progressively reduces the speed of 
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the 
driver had pressed the " -" b ut to n).
If your vehicle is too close to, or approaching 
too quickly the vehicle in front, the dynamic 
cruise control is automatically deactivated. 
The driver is then alerted by an audible signal, 
accompanied by a message.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes 
lane, the dynamic cruise control progressively 
accelerates your vehicle to return to the 
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to 
overtake a slower vehicle, the dynamic cruise 
control allows your vehicle to temporarily 
approach the vehicle in front to assist the 
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding 
the programmed speed.

Modification of the  
inter-vehicle distanceIn the event of the presence of a vehicle 
detected by the inter-vehicle distance 
radar, if the speed selected is too far 
above the speed of that vehicle, the 
system is not activated and the alert 
message "Activation not possible, 
conditions unsuitable" is displayed until 
driving conditions are safe to allow 
activation of the system.
The inter-vehicle distance setting 
is memorised when the ignition is 
switched off.
Exceeding the programmed 
speed
Simply release the accelerator pedal 
to return to the programmed speed. It is possible to exceed the 
programmed speed temporarily by 
depressing the accelerator pedal. The dynamic cruise control can be paused
 
manually with the control, or automatically:

 "Detection of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your vehicle's 
cruise speed setting.
The system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle (within a limit of 20 mph (30 km/h)) 
and then hold it at the speed of the vehicle in front so as to observe the programmed inter-
vehicle time.
When automatically slowing down behind a vehicle, your true speed may be higher than

 "When the adjusted speed reaches the limit of regulation (speed setting less than 20

automatic deactivation of the system is imminent.
"Cruise control paused" If the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment possible by the system and in the 
absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change of lane, 
reduction of the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused.
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.

When the dynamic cruise control is 
automatically paused, it can only be 
reactivated when safe conditions are 
restored. The message "Activation 
not possible, conditions unsuitable" 
is displayed while reactivation is not 
possible.
When the conditions allow, it is 
recommended that the function be 
reactivated by pressing button 2 (Se T+) 
or 3 (S
eT
-), which will make the current 
speed of your vehicle the new cruise 
speed setting, rather than by pressing 
button 4 (on/pause) which reactivates 
the cruise control using the old cruise 
speed setting, which may be very 
different from the current speed of your 
vehicle. The speed regulation range is limited to a 
maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h) 
between the speed setting and the speed of 
the vehicle in front.
Above this, the system goes into pause if the 
safe distance becomes too small.
The dynamic cruise control uses only engine 
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the 
vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing 
the accelerator pedal.
The system is paused automatically:
-
 
i
 f the vehicle in front slows down too much 
or too suddenly, and the driver does not 
brake,
-
 
i
 f a vehicle comes between your vehicle 
and the vehicle in front,
-
 
i
 f the system does not slow the vehicle 
enough to continue to maintain a safe 
distance, for example when descending a 
steep hill.Limits of operation
As the radar's field of detection is quite narrow, 
it is possible that the system may not detect:
-
 
v
 ehicles of reduced width, such as 
motorcycles, for example, -
 
v
 ehicles not running in the middle of the 
lane,
-
 v
 ehicles entering a corner,
-  
v
 ehicles changing lane at the last moment.
The cruise control does not take 
account of:
- s tationary vehicles,
-
 
v
 ehicles driving in the opposite 
direction.

In the event of a fault with the dynamic cruise 
control, you are alerted by an audible signal 
and display of the message message "Driving 
aid functions fault".
Have the system checked by a P
e
ugeo
T 
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating faultThe dynamic cruise control operates 
by day and at night, in fog or moderate 
rainfall. When the cruise control is working, take 
care if making a maintained press on 
one of the cruise control programmed 
speed modification buttons: this can 
lead to a very quick change in the 
speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the dynamic cruise control 
on slippery sur faces or in heavy traffic.
When descending a steep hill, the 
cruise control may not be able to 
prevent the vehicle from exceeding the 
programmed speed.
When ascending a steep hill or when 
towing, it might not be possible to 
achieve or maintain the programmed 
speed.

 ay inter fere with the 
operation of the dynamic cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-
 
e
 nsure that mats are secured 
c o r r e c t l y,
-
 
n
 ever fit one mat on top of another.
It is recommended that you always keep 
your feet close to the pedals.
If the difference between the 
programmed speed setting and the 
speed of the vehicle in front is too 
great, the speed cannot be adjusted: 
the cruise control is automatically 
deactivated. The system does not act on the braking 
system, but works only with engine 
braking.
The regulation range is limited: there 
will no longer be any adjustment of 
speed if the difference between the 
programmed speed setting and the 
speed of the vehicle in front becomes 
too high.
The dynamic cruise control cannot 
in any circumstances replace the 
observation of speed limits, nor the 
need for the vigilance on the part of 
the
 
driver.

in the following cases:
-
 
i
 f the windscreen has impact damage close 
to the detection camera,
-
 
w
 hen towing a trailer or caravan,

Collision Risk Alert
Depending on the degree of risk of collision 
detected by the system and the alert threshold 
chosen, different levels of alert can be 
triggered and displayed in the instrument panel 
or the head-up display.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle 
time between your vehicle and the vehicle 
ahead. Level 1
  : visual alert only, warning 
you that the vehicle ahead is very 
close.
A message on your vigilance is 
displayed as you close on the vehicle 
ahead.
This information also appears in the 
head-up display.
For more information on the Head-up 
display
, refer to the corresponding 
section. 
Driving  

241
Traveller-VP_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016
This level of alert is based on the time before 
collision. It takes account of the vehicle 
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the 
one in front, the environmental conditions, the 
operation of the vehicle (cornering, pedals 
pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best 
moment.Level 2
: visual and audible alert, 
warning you that a collision is 
imminent.
A message indicating that you should 
brake is displayed.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too 
high 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.
Furthermore, the level 1 alert is never 
displayed with the " Close" threshold.
Poor weather conditions (very heavy 
rain, accumulation of snow in front of 
the radar and the camera) may hinder 
the operation of the system, with the 
display of an operating fault message. 
The system remains out of service until 
the message disappears.
Programming the alert 
thresholds
The thresholds for triggering an alert determine 
how you wish to be warned of the presence of a 
vehicle moving or stationary ahead of you, or a 
pedestrian in your traffic lane.
You can select one of three thresholds:
-
  "Distant ", to be warned early (cautious 
driving).
-
  "Normal ".
-
  "Close ", to be warned later.
In the vehicle settings menu, activate/
deactivate "Collision risk alert and automatic 
braking ".
With the touch screen With the audio system
In the "Personalisation-configuration " 
menu, activate/deactivate " Auto. emergency 
braking ".
Then modify the alert threshold.
Then modify the alert threshold.
Press on " Confirm" to save the change.
