Other wise, the last setting made will be used
when switching on the system.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
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

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 must press the
accelerator pedal to start off again, then
reactivate the system by exceeding
18
mph (30 km/h) and by 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.

Exceeding the programmed
setting
It is possible to exceed the speed setting
temporarily by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control no longer manages the
braking system during this period.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return
to the programmed speed.
If the programmed speed setting is exceeded,
the display of the speed setting disappears
and a message "Cruise control suspended"
is displayed until the accelerator pedal is
released.
Driving situations and
associated alerts
To benefit from all necessary information on
the instrument panel, you must previously
select the "DRIVING" display mode.
The table below describes the alerts and
messages displayed depending on the driving
situation.
The display of these alerts is not sequential.
6
Driving
217
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 directly.
Important: alert level 1
is never displayed
when the " Close" trigger threshold has
been selected.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish to be
warned of the presence of a vehicle moving
or stationary in front of you, or a pedestrian
present in your traffic lane.
The current threshold can be modified via the
vehicle configuration menu.
You can select one of three predefined
thresholds:
-
"Distant ",
-
"Normal ",
-
"Close ".
The last threshold selected is kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid
a collision, this system will supplement the
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you
press the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake
If the camera and/or radar have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes once the function is acting
on the vehicle's brakes.
Level 2
: visual and audible alert,
warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or
avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle where
the driver fails to react.
Using a camera and, depending on the version,
radar, this function acts on the vehicle's braking
system.
6
Driving
219
The camera may be disrupted or not work
in the following situations:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense
f o g , e t c .),
-
d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-
o
bstruction of the camera or radar
(mud, frost, snow, etc.).
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
Clean the front bumper, especially around
the radar, removing mud, snow, etc. If the front bumper is to be repainted or
re-touched, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could inter fere with the operation of
the radar.Fatigue detection system
It is recommended that you take a break as
soon as you feel tired or at least every two
hours.
Depending on version, the function either
has the "Driving time warning" only, or this
combined with the "Driver inattention alert".
The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
Do not take the wheel if you are tired.
Activation / Deactivation
The system is activated or deactivated via the
vehicle configuration menu.
For more information on the menu, refer to the
part covering your screen in the "Dashboard
instruments" section.
The state of the system stays in memory when
the ignition is switched off.

220
Driving time warning
The system triggers an alert once it
detects that the driver has not taken
a break after two hours of driving at
a speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-
e
ngine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15
minutes,
-
t
he ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is open. As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 40
mph (65 km/h), the system goes
into standby.
The driving time is counted again once the
speed is above 40
mph (65 km/h).
Driver inattention alert
Depending on version, the "Driving time
warning" may be combined with the "Driver
inattention alert".
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message "Take a break!",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's
level of vigilance.
This alert is issued via the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped.
Using a camera placed at the top
of the windscreen, the system
assesses the driver's level of
vigilance by identifying variations
in trajectory compared to the lane
markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40
mph (65 km/h)). When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain fatigue or
inattention threshold on the part of the driver, it
triggers the first level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
"
Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.

The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting of
the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),
-
d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-
w
indscreen area located in front of the
camera: dirty, misted up, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a s t i c ke r,
-
l
ane markings absent, worn, hidden
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,
e t c .),
-
c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-
r
oads that are narrow, winding, etc.Lane Departure Warning
System
System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane
markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops
and the speed is higher than 37 mph (60 km/h),
triggers a warning if there is an unexpected
change of direction.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Activation / Deactivation
This function cannot be deactivated on
versions without a touch screen.
Activation and deactivation of the
system is done in the Vehicle /
Driving menu of the touch screen.
Select the " Driving functions " then the "Lane
departure warning system " tab.
The system state remains in memory when the
ignition is switched off.
Detection
If an unexpected change of direction
is detected, you are alerted by
this warning lamp flashing in the
instrument panel and an audible
signal.
No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is active and for approximately
20
seconds after the direction indicator is
switched off.
This system is a driving aid which cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
