Memorising the speed 
setting
This memorisation is in addition to the display 
of Speed limit recognition.
The driver can choose to adapt the speed 
setting to the speed limit suggested, by 
pressing the memorisation button for the speed 
limiter, the standard cruise control and the 
dynamic cruise control with Stop function.
This speed setting then replaces the previous 
speed setting for the speed limiter and/or cruise 
control. For more information on the Speed 
limiter,  Cruise control , or Dynamic 
cruise control with Stop function , 
refer to the corresponding sections.

On a steep descent or in the event of 
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter 
will not be able to prevent the vehicle 
from exceeding the programmed speed.The use of mats not approved by 
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the 
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the 
pedals:
-
 e nsure that the mat is positioned 
c o r r e c t l y,
-
 
d
 o not fit one mat on top of another.
Temporarily exceeding the 
programmed speed

the accelerator pedal, going beyond the 
point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily 
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
Switching off
When the limit speed is exceeded but is not 
due to action by the driver, there is an audible 
signal to complete the alert.
Once the speed of the vehicle returns to 
the programmed setting, the speed limiter 
functions again: the display of the programmed 
speed setting becomes steady again.
F
 
T
 urn the thumbwheel 1 to the "0"  position:

As a precaution, it is recommended 
that the cruise speed chosen be close 
to the current speed of your vehicle, so 
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or 
deceleration of the vehicle.
Temporarily exceeding the 
programmed speed
When descending a steep hill, the 
cruise control system cannot prevent 
the vehicle from exceeding the 
programmed speed.
When required (overtaking manoeuvre...), it is 
possible to exceed the programmed speed by 
pressing the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is temporarily overridden 
and the programmed speed setting flashes.
To return to the programmed speed, simply 
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the 
programmed speed, the cruise control takes 
over again: the display of the programmed 
speed setting becomes steady again.
You may have to brake to control the speed of 
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is 
automatically paused.
To activate the system again, with the speed 
of the vehicle above 25 mph (40 km/h), press 
button 4
.
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "0"  position: 
the cruise control information disappears

Switching on
The cruise control is switched on manually, it 
requires a vehicle speed of between 18 and  
112 mph (30 and 180 km/h).
An automatic gearbox must be in position D 
or M . F

to the " CRUISE " position: cruise control 
mode is selected, but not started (grey).
F  
V
 ehicle moving, press one of the buttons   2 
or 3 : the current speed of your vehicle 
becomes the cruise speed setting.
The cruise control is activated (green).
By default, the inter-vehicle distance is set at 
"Normal"  (2 dashes).
Otherwise, the last setting made will be used 
when switching on the system.
When the cruise control is operating, 
Stop & Start is automatically 
deactivated.
Pause
The dynamic cruise control can be paused  
manually by:
-
 
a
 ction by the driver:
●
 
o
 n button 4 ,
●
 
o
 n the brake pedal,
●
 
o
 n the electric parking brake control,
●
 
w
 hen changing from D to N with an 
automatic gearbox.
-
 
o
 r automatically, if operation of the ESC 
system is triggered for reasons of safety.
Following braking of the vehicle 
bringing it to a complete stop, the 
system holds the vehicle stationary; 
the cruise control is paused. The driver 
should press the accelerator pedal to 
move off, then reactivate the system 
by exceeding 18
  mph (30 km/h) and 
pressing button
  2, 3 or 4 .
If the driver takes no action following 
this immobilisation, the electric parking 
brake is applied automatically after a 
few minutes.
Switching off the ignition cancels any 
programmed speed setting.

Limits of operation
The system cannot exceed the limits of the 
laws of physics.
It is recommended that the system be 
deactivated when the "space-saver" spare 
wheel is in use.
The system should not be activated when 
towing a trailer.
In certain critical situations, the system will 
encourage the driver to immediately take back 
control:
- 
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. As the radar's field of detection is quite narrow, 
it is possible that the system may not detect:
-
 
v
 ehicles of reduced width (motorcycles, 
scooters...),
-
 
v
 ehicles not running in the middle of the 
lane,
-
 v
ehicles entering a corner,
-
 v
ehicles suddenly pulling out.The cruise control does not take account of:
-
 
p
 edestrians, cyclists, animals,
-
 
s
 tationary vehicles (traffic jam, red light, 
breakdown...),
-
 
v
 ehicles crossing a junction,
-
 
v
 ehicles driving in the opposite direction.

Depending on the degree of risk of collision 
detected by the system and the alert threshold 
chosen by the driver, different levels of alert can be 
triggered and displayed in the instrument panel.
Because of limits in the operation of the 
system, it is possible that warnings are 
not given, are given too late or seem 
unjustified.
Consequently, the driver must always 
remain attentive and able to react at any 
time to avoid an accident.
Distance alert
Level 1: visual alert only, signalling 
to you that the vehicle in front is very 
close.
The message " Vehicle close" is 
displayed.
Limits of operation
In the following cases, it is recommended 
that the system be deactivated in the vehicle 
configuration menu:
-
 
w
 hen towing a trailer or caravan,
-
 
w
 hen carrying long objects on roof bars or 
a roof rack,
-
 
b
 efore using an automatic car wash, with 
the engine running,
-
 
b
 efore placing the vehicle on a rolling road 
in a workshop,
-
 
w
 hen the vehicle is being towed, with the 
engine running,
-
 
w
 hen a "space-saver" type spare wheel is 
fitted (depending on version),
-
 
f
 ollowing impact damage to the windscreen 
close to the detection camera,
-
 
i
 f the front bumper has been damaged,
-
 
i
 f the brake lamps are not working. This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle 
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in 
front.
Level 2: visual and audible alert, 
warning you that a collision is 
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
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. 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.
Important
: the level 1 alert is never 
displayed if the " Close" threshold has 
been selected.
