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.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
F
A
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.
F
F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F
M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
km/h).
F
S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.

For versions with a spare wheel:
F unclip the carrier box by pulling it up,
F u nclip the two fixings to open its cover. All of these tools are specific to your
vehicle and can vary according to
equipment.
Do not use them for any other
purposes.
The jack must only be used to change
a wheel with a damaged or punctured
tyre.
Do not use any jack other than the one
supplied with this vehicle.
If the vehicle does not have its original
jack, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to obtain the correct
jack for it.
The jack meets European standards,
as defined in the Machinery
Directive
2006/42/CE.
The jack does not require any
maintenance.
