Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.This system does not eliminate 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
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Tyre pressure should be checked 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 (30 kPa) to the
values indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings , including the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding section.
Under-inflation alert
This is indicated by continuous
illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.

or
-
i
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a simple visual check.
The alert continues until the tyre or tyres
concerned are reinflated, repaired or
replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver or a steel
rim type) does not have a sensor.

Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the Ser vice warning
lamp, and depending on equipment,
the display of a message indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, the pressure in the tyres is no
longer monitored.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels are not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel spare
wheel).
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have the
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
Tyre under-inflation
detection with
reinitialisation
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change .
The system triggers an alert once a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.

When changing the programmed
reference speed by means of a maintained
press, remain vigilant as the speed can
increase or decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
The cruise control system cannot in
any circumstances replace the need
to obser ve speed limits or the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
To avoid any jamming under the pedals:
-
e

secured to the floor correctly,
-
n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
Active City Brake
Active City Brake is a driving assistance
system that aims to avoid a frontal collision
or reduce the speed of an impact if the driver
does not react sufficiently (inadequate brake
application). This system has been designed to
improve driving safety.
The driver must always check the traffic
and assess the distance and relative
speed of other vehicles.
Active City Brake cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Never look at the laser sensor through
an optical instrument (magnifying glass,
microscope, etc.) at a distance of less
than 10
centimetres: risk of eye injury!
Principle
Using a laser sensor located at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects a vehicle
running in the same direction or stationary
ahead of your vehicle.Automatic braking occurs later than if
done by the driver, so as to inter vene only
when there is a high risk of collision.
Conditions of activation
Active City Brake functions if the following
conditions are met:
-
t
he ignition is on,
-
t
he vehicle is moving for ward,
-
t
he speed is between 3 and 19 mph (5 and
30
km/h),
-
t
he braking assistance systems (ABS,
EBFD, EBA) have not failed,
-
t
he trajectory control systems (ASR, DSC)
are not deactivated or faulty,
-
t
he vehicle is not making a sharp turn,
-
t
he system has not triggered in the last ten
seconds.
If necessary, the vehicle's braking system is
operated automatically to avoid a collision with
the vehicle ahead.
Driving

121
Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly, the
system automatically applies the brakes to
avoid a collision.
You are then warned by the display of a
message.
Your vehicle's brake lamps come on to warn
other road users.The collision can be avoided if the speed
difference between your vehicle and
the one ahead is not more than 9
mph
(15
km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will do
what is possible to avoid or reduce the
accident by lowering the speed of impact.
The automatic braking can bring the vehicle to
a complete stop if the situation requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held stationary
temporarily (for about 1.5
seconds) to allow
the driver to take back control by pressing the
brake pedal.
Unless the driver presses the clutch
quickly enough during automatic braking,
triggering of the system may cause the
engine to stall. During automatic braking, the driver can
always obtain a higher rate of deceleration
than that controlled by the system, by
pressing firmly on the brake pedal.
After an impact, the system is
automatically put out of ser vice: it no
longer operates.
You must go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system
made operational again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that are
stationary or moving in the same direction as
your vehicle.
It does not detect small vehicles (bicycles,
motorcycles), pedestrians or animals, nor
non-reflective stationary objects.
This system will not trigger or will be interrupted
if the driver:
-
a
ccelerates hard
-
o
r turns the steering wheel sharply
(avoidance manoeuvre). When weather conditions are difficult
(extremely heavy rain, snow, fog, hail,
etc.), braking distances increase, which
may reduce the system’s ability to avoid a
collision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularly cautious.
Never let snow build up on the bonnet
or any object beyond the bonnet or the
front of the roof: this could enter the
field of vision of the sensor and obstruct
detection.Deactivation
The system is deactivated in the vehicle
configuration menu, accessible with the ignition
on.
Its status is stored when the ignition is switched off.
When the system is deactivated, a
message is displayed every time the
ignition is switched on, to warn you.

Operating faults
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may suffer
inter ference from accumulations of dirt or
misting of the windscreen. In this case you are
warned by the display of a message.
Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean
the area of the windscreen in front of the
sensor. Do not stick or other wise attach any object
on the windscreen in front of the sensor.
System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, you
are warned by an audible signal and the display
of the message " Automatic braking system
fault ".
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of an impact to the
windscreen at the sensor, deactivate the
system and contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop
to have your
windscreen replaced. 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.
When towing a trailer or when the vehicle
is being towed, the system must be
deactivated.
Parking sensors
The audible (front and rear) and/or visual (rear)
parking sensor system consists of proximity
sensors installed in the bumpers.
They detect any obstacle which enters the
field of vision (person, vehicle, tree, fence,
etc.) behind or in front of the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
