If position R , D or M is selected when the 
engine is running at idle, with the brakes 
released, the vehicle moves even without 
the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children unsuper vised inside 
the vehicle with the engine running.
When carrying out maintenance with the 
engine running, apply the parking brake 
and select position P .
Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic  changing of 
the six gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive 
mode, without any inter vention on the part 
of the driver. It continuously selects the most 
suitable gear according to the style of driving, 
the profile of the road and the load in the 
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching 
the selector, press the accelerator fully down 
(kick-down). The gearbox changes down 
automatically or holds the gear selected until 
the maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down 
automatically to provide effective engine 
braking.
For better safety, the gearbox will not change 
up if you release the accelerator sharply.
Never select position N while the vehicle is 
moving.
Never select position P or R unless the vehicle 
is completely stationary.

Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message 
appears in the instrument panel screen 
to indicate a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up 
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may feel a 
substantial jolt when changing from P to R and 
from N to R. This will not cause any damage to 
the gearbox.
Do not exceed 62
 
mph (100   km/h), local speed 
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop. There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-
 
i
 f you press the accelerator and brake 
pedals at the same time,
-  
i
 f you force the selector from position P 
to another position when the battery is 
flat.

The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and 
the displayed programmed speed flashes.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return to 
the programmed speed.
On a steep descent or in the event of 
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will 
not be able to prevent the vehicle from 
exceeding the programmed speed.
You may have to brake to control the speed of 
your vehicle.
When the speed limit is exceeded but this is not 
due to action by the driver, an audible signal 
supplements the alert.
Once the vehicle slows down to the required 
setting, the speed limiter is active again: the 
speed setting display is fixed once more.
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the " 0" position: 
the display of information on the speed 
limiter disappears.
Malfunction
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 the mat is positioned 
c o r r e c t l y,
-
 
n
 ever fit one mat on top of another.
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the speed 
limiter.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Cruise control
The system automatically maintains 
the vehicle’s cruising speed at a 
setting programmed by the driver, 
without using the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on  manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25
  mph 
(40
 
km/h).
With a manual gearbox, it requires the 
engagement of third gear or higher.
With an automatic gearbox, it requires the 
engagement of the selector in mode D or of 
second or higher gear in mode M .Speed regulation remains active after 
changing gear on vehicles fitted with a 
manual gearbox and Stop & Start.
The operation of the cruise control can be 
interrupted (pause):
-  
b
 y pressing control 4 or by pressing the 
brake pedal,
-  
a
 utomatically, if operation of the dynamic 
stability control system is triggered.
Switching off the ignition cancels any 
programmed speed setting.
The cruise control system is a driving aid 
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace 
the need to obser ve speed limits, nor the 
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
As a safety measure, you are advised to 
keep your feet near the pedals at all times.

Level 2 (red): visual and audible 
alert, warning you that a collision is 
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
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 
for a stationary obstacle or when the 
" Close " trigger threshold has been 
selected.
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
Operation
- The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50   mph 
(80   km/h) when a stationary vehicle is 
detected.
-
 
T
 he vehicle's speed must be between 6   mph 
and 87
  mph (10   km/h and 140   km/h) when a 
moving vehicle is detected.
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.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of 
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle 
comes to a complete stop, keep the brake 
pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from 
starting off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of 
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle 
comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the 
vehicle at any time by sharply turning 
the steering wheel and/or pressing the 
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by 
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, 
the automatic braking is maintained for 1 
to 2
 
seconds.
This function, also called automatic emergency 
braking, inter venes following the alert if the 
driver does not react quickly enough and does 
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a 
frontal collision by your vehicle where the driver 
fails to react.
Level 1 (orange)
: visual alert only, 
signalling to you that the vehicle in 
front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is 
displayed.
The system operates under the following 
conditions:
-
 
T
 he vehicle's speed does not exceed 37   mph 
(60
  km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.

A.Parallel parking.
B. Exit from a parallel parking space.
C. Bay parking.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering 
wheel per forms rapid turns: do not hold 
the steering wheel, do not put your hands 
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could block 
the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scar ves, 
ties, etc.) - injury risk!
When the Park Assist is active, it prevents 
the Stop & Start going into STOP mode. 
In STOP mode, activating Park Assist 
restarts the engine. The Park Assist system takes control 
of the assistance for a maximum of 
4
  manoeuvre cycles. The function is 
deactivated after these 4 cycles. If you 
think that your vehicle is not positioned 
correctly, you should then take control of 
the steering to carry out the manoeuvre.
The sequence of manoeuvres and the 
driving instructions are displayed on the 
touch screen.
You should always check the surroundings 
of your vehicle before starting a 
manoeuvre. The parking sensors function is 
not available during parking space 
measurement. It intervenes later when 
manoeuvring to warn you that your vehicle 
is approaching an obstacle: the audible 
signal becomes continuous when the 
obstacle is less than thirty centimetres 
away.
If you have deactivated the parking 
sensors, they are automatically 
reactivated during assisted parking 
manoeuvres.
Activation of Park Assist deactivates the 
Blind Spot Detection.
