Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at
a constant speed and at an adequate safe
distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, or in
conditions of poor visibility (heavy rain,
fog, falling snow, etc.).
In some circumstances, it may not be
possible to maintain or reach the cruise
speed set: towing, vehicle heavily loaded,
steep climb.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-
d
o not fit one mat on top of another.Adaptive cruise control
It manages the acceleration and deceleration
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the
engine and the braking system. Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motor ways, this system only
works on moving vehicles
, driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.
Principle of operation
The system automatically adapts the speed of
your vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to
maintain a
constant distance.
If the vehicle in front is driving more slowly, the
system slows, or even stops your vehicle, using
engine braking and the braking system (for
versions fitted with an automatic gearbox).
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a
direction indicator to
overtake a
slower vehicle, the cruise control
allows your vehicle to temporarily approach
the vehicle in front to assist the overtaking
manoeuvre, though never exceeding the
programmed speed.
The brake lamps illuminate as soon as
the braking system is activated with
deceleration of the vehicle.
This system provides the following
functions:
-
A
utomatic regulation of the
vehicle speed at the value
programmed by the driver.
-
W
ith a
manual gearbox,
automatic adjustment of the
distance between your vehicle
and the one in front.
-
W
ith an automatic gearbox,
automatic adjustment of the
distance between your vehicle
and the one in front, which may
cause your vehicle to come to
a
complete stop.
To do so, it has a
camera located at the top of
the windscreen and a
radar located in the front
b u m p e r.

buttons 2 ,
3 or 4.
As a safety measure, wait until the current
speed reaches the speed setting to
reactivate the function by pressing button 4 .
Versions fitted with an automatic
gearbox
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
few

distance
Three threshold settings are suggested for the
inter-vehicle distance:
-
"Distant " (3
dashes),
-
"Normal " (2
dashes),
-
"Close " (1
dash). This setting remains in memory, whatever the
state of the system and when the ignition is
switched off.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. 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.

- Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency b r ak ing).
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.
Intelligent emergency braking assistance:
it supplements the braking action taken by the
driver if this is inadequate.
Active Safety Brake : it intervenes following
the alert if the driver does not react quickly
enough and does not operate the vehicle's
brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes
towards avoiding a
collision or limiting
its severity by reducing the speed of your
vehicle.
Activation and operating
conditions
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
t he windscreen, and depending on the version,
a radar located in the front bumper. The system is active from about 4
mph (7 km/h)
and is deactivated below about 3 mph (5 km/h).
It takes account of:
-
v
ehicles running in the same direction or
stationary,
-
p
edestrians in the traffic lane (bicycles,
motorcycles, animals and objects on the
road are not necessarily detected).
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 avoid 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 sense of
deceleration.

The driver can take back control of the vehicle
at any time by sharply turning the steering
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.The point at which braking is triggered
may be adjusted depending on the driving
actions of the driver, such as movement
of the steering wheel or actions at 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.
With a
manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a
complete stop, the
engine may stall.
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. After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Consult a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
The system can be deactivated or activated via
the vehicle settings menu. Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a

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 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.
Specific conditions for operation

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.
