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

188
The cruise control operates by day and
night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended
that you always keep a safe distance
from vehicles ahead, according to the
driving conditions, the weather and the
road surface.
Use the cruise control only where
the driving conditions allow running
at a constant speed and keeping an
adequate safety distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in an
urban area where pedestrians are likely
to cross the road, in heavy traffic, on
winding or steep roads, on slippery or
flooded roads, when there is snowfall,
if the front bumper or the windscreen
is damaged, or when the brake lamps
have failed.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be possible for the speed setting to be
maintained or even attained: loaded
vehicle, ascending a steep hill, etc.The system is not intended for the
following situations:
-

i
f the front end of the vehicle has
been modified (addition of long-range
headlamps, painting of the front
bumper),
-

d
riving on a racing circuit,
-

r
unning on a rolling road,
-

u
se of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-

e
nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-

d
o not fit one mat on top of another.The camera may be disrupted or not
work in the following situations:
-

p
oor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, 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.),
-

c
amera or radar obstructed (mud,
frost, snow, condensation, etc.).
In these situations, detection
performance may be reduced.
Operation of the radar, located in the
front bumper, may be impaired by the
accumulation of dirt (dust, mud, etc.)
or in certain weather conditions (snow,
f r o s t , e t c .) .
Clean the front bumper regularly.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
detection camera.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on
the bonnet or roof of the vehicle, as this
could obscure the camera.

189
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the cruise
control, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp
and the display of a message in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Distance alert and Active
Safety Brake
This system is a driving aid that includes three
functions:
-

D
istance alert (alert if there is a risk of
collision),
-
I

ntelligent emergency braking assistance,
Activation and operating
conditions
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen, and depending on the version,
a radar located in the front bumper.
If the front bumper is to be repainted or
touched up, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could inter fere with the operation of
the radar.
-
A
ctive Safety Brake (automatic emergency
b r ak ing).
Distance alert : 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 supplements the braking action taken by the
driver if this is inadequate.
Active Safety Brake : it intervenes following
the alert 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.
The system is active from about 4 mph (7 km/h)
a nd is deactivated below about 3 mph (5 km/h).
It takes account of:
-

v
ehicles running in the same direction or
stationary,
-

p
edestrians in the traffic lane (bicycles,
motorcycles, animals and objects on the
road are not necessarily detected).
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.
As soon as the system detects a potential
obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in
case automatic braking is needed. This
may cause a slight noise and a sense of
deceleration.
Operating limits
In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
-
w
hen towing a trailer,

It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay alert and be
prepared to react at any time to avoid an
accident.
Distance alert
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.Level 1 (orange)
: visual alert only,
signalling to you that the vehicle in
front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front.
Level 2 (red) : 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: 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.
