Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
For more information on the
Identification markings
, refer to the
corresponding section.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed
.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.

Memorising speeds
This function allows speeds to be saved, which can then be offered to set the two systems: the speed limiter (to limit the speed of the vehicle) or the
cruise control (for a vehicle cruising speed).
You can memorise up to six speed settings for each of the two systems.
By default, some speed settings are already memorised.As a safety measure, the driver must
only modify the speed settings when
stationary.This function is accessible in the
Driving
menu of the touch screen.

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.

System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
The speed limiter is a driving aid that
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the

for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually.
The minimum programmed speed is 20 mph
(30 km/h).

brake pedal,
-
a
utomatically, if operation of the dynamic
stability control system is triggered.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.The cruise control is switched on

It requires a minimum vehicle speed of
25 mph (40 km/h) as well as:
-
w

engagement of third gear or higher,
-

Speed regulation remains active after
changing gear on vehicles fitted with a
manual gearbox and Stop & Start.
System which automatically maintains the cruising speed of the vehicle at a setting programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to observe speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
As a safety measure, you are advised to
keep your feet near the pedals at all times.

Distance alert and Active Safety Brake
This system includes three functions:
- D istance alert (alert if there is a risk of
collision),
-
I
ntelligent emergency braking assistance,
-
A
ctive Safety Brake (automatic emergency
b r ak ing).
Points on the Active Safety Brake
function
The speed of the vehicle must be between 3
and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h) when a moving
vehicle is detected.
The speed of the vehicle must not be higher
than 50 mph (80 km/h) when a stationary
vehicle is detected.
The speed of the vehicle must not be higher
than 36 mph (60 km/h) when a pedestrian is
detected.
The DSC system must not be deactivated or
faulty.
All occupants must have fastened their seat
belts.
Driving at steady speed on roads with few
bends is required.
This system is designed to assist the
driver and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of
the traffic, observing the driving
regulations.
This system does not avoid the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The vehicle is fitted with a radar located in the
front bumper and a camera at the top of the
windscreen.
Conditions for activation and operation
The system is active from about 4 mph (7 km/h)
and is deactivated below about 3 mph (5 km/h).
It takes account of:
-
r
egistered vehicles running in the same
direction or stationary,
-
p
edestrians present in the traffic lane
(bicycles, motorcycles, animals and objects
on the road are not necessarily detected).
Distance aler t: it warns the driver if their
vehicle is at risk of collision with the
vehicle in front or a pedestrian present in
their traffic lane.
Intelligent emergency braking assistance:
it completes the braking action taken by the
driver if this is inadequate.
Active Safety Brake: it inter venes following
the aler t if the driver does not react quickly
enough and does not operate the vehicle's
brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes
towards avoiding a collision or limiting
its severity by reducing the speed of your
vehicle. Following an impact, the system
is automatically disabled; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
