Driving on flooded roads
Operating fault
System malfunction is signalled by the display
of a message and, depending on version, by:The button indicator lamp flashing.
or
This warning lamp flashing in the
instrument panel.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If a fault occurs in STOP mode, the vehicle may
stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on.
Depending on the version, an alert message may
also be displayed, asking you to place the gear
lever in position N and put your foot on the brake
pedal.
You must switch off the ignition, then start the
engine again.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V
b attery with a special specification and
technology.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12
V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
Before driving in a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.

flooded roads, refer to the corresponding
section.
Memorising speeds
Touch screen
Linked to the speed limiter and programmable
cruise control only, this function allows speed
limits to be registered which will then be
suggested as settings for these two systems.
You can memorise several speed settings for
each system.
By default, some speed settings are already
memorised.
As a safety measure, the driver must
only modify the speed settings when
stationary.

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.

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,
-

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.

Driving

148
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.

149
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system,
you are alerted by the continuous
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
Fatigue detection system
Take a break as soon as you feel tired or at
least every two hours.
These systems cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver who must remain in control
of their decisions. In no case can these
systems keep the driver awake or prevent
them from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if they
feel tired.
Activation/Deactivation
The system is activated or deactivated via the
vehicle configuration menu.
For more information on the menu, refer to the
part covering your screen in the "Instruments"
section.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Driver Attention Warning
The system triggers an alert once it
detects that the driver has not taken
a break after two hours of driving at
a speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-

e

ngine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15


minutes,
-

t

he ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes,
-

t

he driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is open.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 40
mph (65 km/h), the system goes
into standby.
The driving time is counted again once the
speed is above 40
mph (65 km/h).
Driver Attention Alert
Depending on version, the "Driver Attention
Warning" may be combined with the "Driver
Attention Alert".
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen, the system assesses the
driver's level of vigilance by identifying
variations in trajectory compared to the
lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed faster than 40
mph (65 km/h)).
When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain fatigue or
inattention threshold on the part of the driver, it
triggers the first level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
" Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.

Driving

151
Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected on the ground or a lane limit (e.g.
grass border), it makes the correction to the
trajectory necessary to return the vehicle to its
initial path.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
If the driver wishes to maintain the
trajectory of the vehicle, they can prevent
the correction by keeping a firm grip on
the wheel (during an avoiding manoeuvre,
for example).
The correction is interrupted if the
direction indicators are operated.
If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough during
an automatic correction of trajectory,
it interrupts the correction. An alert is
triggered to encourage the driver to take
back control of the vehicle.
Driving situations and
associated alerts
The table below describes the alerts and
messages displayed depending on the driving
situation.
The display of these alerts is not sequential.
The instrument panel display screen "Driving
aids" tab must have been selected first.
While the direction indicators are on and for
a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that any change of trajectory
is voluntary and no correction is triggered
during this period.
However, with the Blind Spot Detection
activated, if the driver starts changing lanes
and another vehicle is detected in the vehicle's
blind spot, the system will correct the trajectory
of the vehicle even though the direction
indicators are on.
For more information on the Blind Spot
Detection , refer to the corresponding section.
