changes down automatically to be in the
correct gear for the vehicle to accelerate again.
Under strong acceleration, the gearbox will not
change up without action by the driver at the
gear selector or the controls under the steering
wheel (unless the engine speed is close to its
maximum speed).Automatic mode (EASY)The gear change requests are acted upon only
if the engine speed allows. If they are rejected,
an audible signal sounds.

Gear shift indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
equipment of your vehicle, the system can
recommend you to change gear.
Gear shift recommendations are for information
only. In fact, the road layout, the traffic density
and safety remain the deciding factors when
choosing the best gear. The driver therefore
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the indications issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Example:
-
Y
ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-
T
he system may suggest that you engage
a

Temporarily exceeding the
speed setting
F Press firmly on the accelerator pedal,
going beyond the point of resistance, to
exceed the programmed speed limit.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
An audible signal accompanies the
flashing of the programmed speed when
exceeding the speed is not due to an
action by the driver (steep hill…).
As soon as the vehicle's speed returns to the
programmed value, the limiter operates again:
the display of the programmed speed becomes
steady again.
Switching off
F Press the end of the control: the display of information on the speed limiter disappears.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel it signals
a
malfunction of the limiter. Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
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 mats are secured correctly,
-
n
ever place one mat on top of another.
Active City Brake
Active City Brake is a driving assistance
s ystem that aims to avoid a frontal collision or
to reduce the speed of an impact if the driver
does not react or reacts too late (brake applied
too late).
This system has been designed to improve driving
safety.
It remains the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor the state of the traffic and to assess the
distances and relative speeds 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…) at a
distance of less than
10
centimetres: risk of eye injury.
Principle
Using a laser sensor and a camera located at
t he top of the windscreen, this system detects
a
vehicle moving in the same direction or
stationary ahead of your vehicle.
When necessary, the vehicle's braking system
is operated automatically to reduce the speed
of impact or to help avoid a
collision with the
vehicle ahead.
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 engine is running.
•
T
he vehicle is moving for ward.
•
For triggering the pre-collision warning :
-
t
he speed is between 9 and 87 mph
(15
and 140 km/h),
-
t
he difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one in front is more than
about 9
mph (15 km/h).
•
For help in braking :
-
t
he speed is between about 19 and
50
mph (30 and 80 km/h),
-
t
he difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one in front is more than
about 19
mph (30 km/h).
•
For automatic pre-collision braking :
-
t
he speed is between about 6 and
50
mph (10 and 80 km/h),
-
t
he difference in speed between your
vehicle and the one in front is more than
about 6
mph (10 km/h)
•
t
he braking assistance systems (ABS,
EBFD, EBA) are not faulty.
•
T
he trajectory control systems (TRC, DSC)
hare not deactivated or faulty.
•
T
he vehicle is not making a sharp turn.
•
T
he system has not triggered in the last ten
seconds.
Operation
Three functional stages are possible:
• P re-collision warning : if risk of a
collision
with a
vehicle is detected, a warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal, to warn the driver to take avoiding
action. The triggering thresholds of the
warning can be set.
•
Br
aking assistance : increases the braking
started by the driver, but only if a
risk of
collision is detected.
•
A
utomatic pre-collision braking : if
your vehicle is approaching the vehicle
in front of you too quickly, the system
will automatically engage the brakes to
reduce the speed of impact. The collision
can be automatically avoided if the speed
difference between your vehicle and the
one in front of you is not more than 18
mph
(30
km/h).Then you are alerted by the display
of this warning indicator in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal.
The brake lamps of your vehicle are lit to warn
other users.
The automatic braking can lead to the complete
stop of the vehicle if the situation requires. Unless the driver de-clutches quickly
enough during automatic braking,
triggering of the system may cause the
engine to stall.

Driving
89
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 above the bonnet nor at
the front of the roof: this could enter the
field of vision of the sensor and obstruct
detection.
Unwanted triggering
- passing a vehicle travelling in the other
direction, at a crossroads, when your
vehicle is turning left or right,
-
i
f the vehicle in front of you kicks up water or
snow,
-
i
f your vehicle stops very close to an
overhanging wall or other vehicles,
-
w
hen your vehicle quickly draws close to
a
vehicle in front,
-
i
f the vehicle is raised or lowered,
-
i
f the vehicle is passing through a plastic
curtain,
-
i
f you are driving in fog or smoke,
-
i
f the sensor is misaligned (replacement
after a
collision).
Operating faults
Sensor fault
Operation of the laser sensor may be
disrupted by accumulation of dirt, formation
of condensation on the windscreen or
the presence of a component causing an
obstruction (e.g. an open bonnet).
If this happens, you are alerted by
the flashing of this warning lamp in
the instrument panel. Do not stick or other wise attach any object
on the windscreen in front of the sensor.
System fault
If there is a system fault, you are
a lerted by the flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
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.
The system may detect a
risk of imminent
collision, particularly in the following conditions:
-
d
etection of an object close to the edge of
the road going into a
bend (safety rail, street
light, road sign),
-
d
etection of a
structure at the top or bottom
of a
sharp slope (advertising hoarding,
public lighting),
-
d
etection of reflective objects (central
reser vation, etc.) on the road,
-
d
etection of the top bar of a
bridge or
a
