km/h).
The programmed speed value remains in the
system memory when the ignition is switched

The speed limiter is a driving aid that
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need to obser ve speed limits or the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.

If needed (for overtaking, etc.) it is possible to
exceed the programmed speed by pressing the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is temporarily overridden
and the programmed speed setting flashes.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, the cruise control takes
over again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes fixed again.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
You may have to brake to control the
speed of your vehicle. In this case, the
cruise control is automatically paused.
To activate the system again, with the
speed of the vehicle above 25
mph
(40
km/h), press button 4 .
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the " 0" position:
the cruise control information disappears

Malfunction
Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the
cruise control.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. When cruise control is active, be careful
when holding one of the speed setting
buttons: this may result in a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle.
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.
On steep climbs or when towing, the
programmed speed may not be reached
or maintained.
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 positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-
n
ever fit one mat on top of another.

When the cruise control is paused, it
can only be reactivated when all of the
safety conditions are met. The "Activation
denied, conditions unsuitable" message is
displayed if reactivation is not possible.
Reactivating the function
With a manual gearbox
To reactivate the function, the driver must
accelerate to reach at least 19 mph (30 km/h),
then press one of the buttons 2 , 3 or 4.
With the EAT8 gearbox or with the BlueHDi
150 S&S EAT6 engine
Following braking of the vehicle bringing it to
a complete stop, the system holds the vehicle
stationary; the cruise control is paused.
The driver should press the accelerator pedal
to move off, then reactivate the system above
19
mph (30 km/h) by pressing button 2 , 3 or 4.
If the driver takes no action following this
immobilisation, the electric parking brake is
applied automatically after a while (approx. five
minutes).
As a safety measure, wait until the current
speed approaches the speed setting to
reactivate the function by pressing button 4 .
Modification of the speed
setting
With the engine running and cruise control on
(green), you can modify the speed setting.
Modification from the current

F
B

lower or raise the setting in steps of 5
mph

recognition and recommendation
, refer to
the corresponding section.
As a precaution, it is recommended
that you select a cruise speed close to
the current speed of your vehicle, so
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle.
Modification of the programmed
inter-vehicle distance
Three threshold settings are suggested for the
inter-vehicle distance:
- "Distant " (3 dashes),
-
"Normal " (2 dashes),
-
"Close " (1 dash).
Engine running and with the wheel at the
" CRUISE " position:

This setting remains in memory, whatever the state
of the system and when the ignition is switched off.
The selection also applies to the stopping
distance (with EAT6 and EAT8 automatic
gearbox).
Exceeding the programmed
setting
It is possible to exceed the speed setting
temporarily by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control no longer manages the
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 situations and

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
147
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.
In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
-
t
owing a trailer,
-
c
arrying long objects on roof bars or roof
rack,
-
w
ith snow chains fitted,
-
b
efore using an automatic car wash, with
the engine running,
-
b
efore placing the vehicle on a rolling road
in a workshop,
-
t
owed vehicle, engine running,
-
d
amaged front bumper,
-
f
ollowing impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera. The system is automatically deactivated
after the use of the "space-saver" type
spare wheel is detected, or if a fault with
the lateral brake lamps is detected.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay in control of
your vehicle and be prepared to react at
any time to avoid an accident.
After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
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.
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.
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.
Operation
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.
They take 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.
