Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the ECO
OFF switch warning lamp flashes then comes
on fixed.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If a fault occurs in STOP mode, the vehicle
may stall. All of the instrument panel warning
lamps come on. It is then necessary to switch
the ignition off and to restart the engine using
t h e key.The Stop & Start system requires a
12
V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12
V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
Speed limiter "LIMIT"
The system prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed setting programmed by
the driver.
Steering mounted controls
1. Speed limiter mode selection / off.
2. Increases the set value.
3. Decreases the set value.
4. Speed limiter On / Pause. The vehicle responds to the accelerator until
resistance is felt in the pedal, which signifies
that the vehicle has reached the limiter speed
setting.
However, pressing the pedal beyond this point
of resistance to the floor permits exceeding
of the programmed speed. To resume use of
the limiter, simply reduce the pressure on the
accelerator pedal gradually and return to a
speed below that programmed.
Setting and operation of the system can be
done stationar y with the engine running or
when driving.
Selection
F Place the thumbwheel at the "LIMIT"

position: the speed limiter mode is selected
but is not switched on (PAUSE).
Switching the speed limiter on is not required to
set the speed limit.
The speed setting is selected with the engine
running, stationary or when driving. The
minimum speed setting possible is 20

mph
(30


km/h).

Operating faults
Clean or clear any dirt, mist or objects (stickers,
leaves, etc.) from the top of the windscreen that
could obstruct the laser's field of vision. In the following cases, you should have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop:
-

T
he message "
Automatic braking system "
fault detected accompanied by an audible
signal indicates that a fault has been
detected.
-
F
ollowing an impact, the system is
automatically put out of ser vice, it no longer
works. The system detects the deployment
of airbags.
Do not attempt to remove, adjust or test
the sensor.
Only a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop is able to work on the system.
Misting of the windscreen or accumulations
of snow on the bonnet could inter fere with the
operation of the laser. A message appears if
the laser is obstructed.
Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean
the area of the windscreen in front of the
sensor.
Be particularly vigilant when driving in poor
weather (very heavy rain, hail, fog, snow, etc.).
This is because braking distances increase
while the laser's calculation parameters remain
the same.

Park Assist
The system detects a parking space and then
provides assistance with the parallel parking
manoeuvres.
It controls the steering and provides visual and
audible information to the driver.
The driver manages the accelerator, brakes,
gears and the clutch in the case of a manual
gearbox.
The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.The Park Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle ensuring that the space remains
clear during the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel per forms rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could block
the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scar ves,
ties, etc.) – Risk of injury! For entry into a parallel parking space the
system does not detect spaces which are
clearly much smaller or larger than the
size of the vehicle.
The "Parking sensors" function activates
automatically during the manoeuvres, it is
possible that a warning lamp illuminates
on the screen, accompanied by an audible
signal, without affecting the parking.
Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres, winter
tyres, etc.) can inter fere with the correct
operation of the parking assistance
system.
When the Park Assist is active, it prevents
the Stop & Start going into STOP mode.
In STOP mode, activating Park Assist
restarts the engine.
