The key contains an electronic chip which has
a special code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off, and prevents
the engine being started by anyone who does
not have the key.
In the event of a fault, you are informed
by illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

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
sur face.
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 urban
areas where pedestrians are likely to
cross the road, in heavy traffic (except for
versions with EAT8 gearbox), on winding
or steep roads, on slippery or flooded
roads, when there is snowfall, if the front
bumper 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 reached: loaded
vehicle, ascending a steep hill, etc.The system is not intended for the
following situations:
-

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

d
riving on a racing track,
-

d
riving 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,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-

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.),
-

c
amera or radar masked (mud, frost,
snow, condensation, etc.).
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.Malfunction
The adaptive cruise control deactivates
automatically if the use of a "space-saver"
type spare wheel is detected or if there is
a malfunction on the lateral brake lamps or
trailer brake lamps (for approved trailers). If the cruise control
malfunctions, dashes are
displayed instead of the
cruise control speed setting.
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an alert
message and an audible
signal, this confirms a
malfunction.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Active Safety Brake
with Distance Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
The system allows:
- t he driver to be warned that their vehicle is
at risk of collision with the vehicle in front,
-

a c
ollision to be prevented, or its severity to
be limited, by reducing the vehicle’s speed.
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,
-

A
ctive Safety Brake (automatic emergency
b r ak ing). The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen, and a radar located in the front
b u m p e r.
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 replace 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 slight
sensation of deceleration.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start. Deactivation of the system is signalled
by the illumination of this indicator
lamp, accompanied by the display of a
message.
Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The DSC system must not be deactivated. The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-

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.),
-
c
amera or radar obstructed (mud, frost,
snow, condensation, etc.).
On versions with the camera alone, this
message indicates to you that the camera
is obstructed: " Driving aids camera:
Visibility limited, see user guide".
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required.
Driving

150
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.
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. Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
Active Lane Keeping
Assistance
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the
ground, the system corrects the trajectory of
the vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects
a risk of involuntary crossing of a line.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between
40
mph and 112 mph (65 km/h and 180 km/h).
The driver must hold the steering wheel with both
hands.
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
The ESC system must be activated and fault-free.
This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the
driver’s own vigilance. The driver must
remain in control of the vehicle under all
circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when
there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane it is being driven
in. It does not manage the safe driving
distance, the speed of the vehicle or the
brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel
with both hands in a way that allows
control to be maintained in circumstances
where the system is not able to inter vene
(if lane markings disappear, for example).
It is necessary to obser ve the driving
regulations and take a break every two
hours.
