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 .

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

-

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.

Reversing camera
The reversing camera cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.They are represented as lines marked
"on the ground" and do not indicate the
position of tall obstacles (for example:
other vehicles, etc.) relative to the vehicle.
Some distortion of the image is normal.
It is normal to have a part of the number
plate showing in the bottom of the screen.
The blue lines 1 represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the gap represents the width of
your vehicle except for the door mirrors).
The red line 2 represents a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines 3 represent distances of about
1 m and 2 m beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves 4 represent the
maximum turning circle.
Opening the tailgate causes the display to
disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not direct
the lance closer than 30
cm to the lens of
the camera.
Visiopark 1
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed on the touch screen.
The representation with overlaid lines helps
with the manoeuvre. With the engine running, and as soon as
reverse gear is engaged, this system allows
views of your vehicle’s close surroundings to
be displayed on the touch screen using a rear
camera.
The screen is divided into two parts: on the
left, a contextual view; on the right, a view from
above the vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the
information on the view from above the vehicle.
Driving

161
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are in reality.
It is important to check the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also provide
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
180° viewRecommendations on care
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors and camera are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
Check the cleanliness of the camera lens
regularly.
If necessary, clean the camera with a soft, dry
cloth.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the lance at least 30
cm away from the
camera and parking sensors.
The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a
parking bay, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a complete manoeuvre. It consists of 3 areas: left A
, centre B and
right C .
This view is available only from the view
selection menu.
Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking: it detects a parking space then
operates the steering system to park in this
space.
With a manual gearbox , the driver manages
the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch.
With an automatic gearbox (EAT6/EAT8) , the
driver manages the accelerator, brakes and
gears. During phases of entry into and exit from a
parking space, the system provides visual
and audible information to the driver in order
to make the manoeuvres safe. It may be
necessary to move for wards and backwards
more than once.
The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.
This manoeuvring assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle ensuring that the space remains
clear throughout the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
The Park Assist system cannot work with
the engine off.

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.
