After braking causing the vehicle to stop completely, if the vehicle in front restarts almost immediately, the system restarts the vehicle gradually,
keeping the safety distance as programmed up to the speed setting.
If the vehicle is immobilised for more than 3 seconds, simply press button 4 or the accelerator pedal to restart as soon as traffic conditions allow.
The vehicle will accelerate gradually up to the speed setting.
If the vehicle continues to be immobilised, the electric parking brake is applied automatically after a while (approx. five minutes). To restart the vehicle,
the driver must press the accelerator pedal. 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 by pressing one of buttons 2 , 3 or 4. If the driver takes no action
following this immobilisation, the electric parking brake is applied automatically after a while (approximately 5 minutes).

If the front bumper is to be repainted or
retouched, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could inter fere with the operation of
the radar.
Malfunction
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.
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).
Lane Positioning Assist
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen, the system identifies lane
markings and steers the vehicle inside this lane
to keep it in the lateral position chosen by the
driver.
This function is primarily suitable for driving on
motor ways and main roads.
This system is a driving aid that cannot,
under any circumstances, replace driver
vigilance and respect of the speed limits
and safety distances.
The system does not assess the
behaviour of other vehicles. Therefore,
the
driver must be ready at all times
to retake control of their vehicle by
permanently holding the steering wheel
with both hands and keeping their feet
near the brake and accelerator pedals.
The function cannot be used to
compensate for loss of vigilance caused
by driver inattention or fatigue. It is
recommended to take a break every two
hours.
Conditions for operation

The colour of the symbol depends on the
operating state of the system:(grey colour)
At least one of the operating
conditions is not met, the system
is


paused.
(green colour)
All operating conditions are met,
the
system is active.
(orange colour)
The system has a fault.
The action is confirmed by:
-

I
llumination of the green button indicator lamp.
-
D
isplay of the following symbol in the
instrument panel.
If the driver no longer wishes to benefit from
the system, they can deactivate it by pressing
the


button again.
The button indicator lamp goes off and the
symbol disappears from the instrument panel.
Regulation
The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.
When regulation is activated, the symbol is
displayed in green: by small steering actions,
the system directs the vehicle and keeps it in the
position chosen by the driver, in the traffic lane.
The driver can feel movements in the steering
wheel. This position is not necessarily the centre of the
lane.
The driver can change the position of the vehicle
at any time, by turning the steering wheel. When
the driver feels that the vehicle’s position is
appropriate, whilst keeping hands on the steering
wheel, they must release the pressure to let
the system resume control of the steering, but
the vehicle will not get centred within the lane
automatically.
Pausing/Suspension of the
system
The driver must inter vene as soon as they
believe that the traffic conditions or state
of the road sur face make this necessary
by moving the steering wheel to suspend
the system temporarily. Pressing the brake
pedal to pause the cruise control will also
pause the system.
If the system detects that the driver is
not holding the wheel firmly enough, it
triggers a series of gradual alerts and then
deactivates if there is no reaction from the
driver.
Automatic pausing:
-

T
riggering of the ESC.
-
P
rolonged failure to detect one of the lane
markings. In this case, the Active Lane
Keeping Assistance function can take over,
and the system will reactivate itself once the
operating conditions are met once again.

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 multifunctional camera
located at the top of the windscreen, and,
depending on the version, a radar located in
the front bumper. 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.
This system can be deactivated
or activated via the touch screen’s
Driving/Vehicle menu.
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 ASR must not be deactivated.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required. 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 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.
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.
Clean the front bumper, especially around
the radar, removing mud, snow, etc.

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,
-

f
ollowing impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated
after detecting the use of certain "space-
saver" type spare wheels (smaller
diameter).
The system is automatically deactivated
after detecting a fault with the brake pedal
switch or with at least two brake lamps.
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.
If the front bumper is to be repainted or
retouched, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could inter fere with the operation of
the radar.
Distance Alert
It warns the driver if their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front, a pedestrian
or a cyclist present in their traffic lane.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish to
be alerted of the presence of a moving or
stationary vehicle in front of you, a pedestrian
or a cyclist present in your traffic lane.
The current threshold can be
modified via the touch screen’s
Driving/Vehicle menu. You can select one of three predefined
thresholds:
-
"
Distant ",
- "
Normal ",
- "
Close ".
The last threshold selected is memorised 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, actions on the pedals, etc.)
to trigger the alert at the best moment.
Level 1 (orange) : visual alert only,
signalling to you that the vehicle in
front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.
Level 2 (red) : visual and audible
alert, warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
Level 3 : finally, in some cases, a
haptic alert in the form of micro-
braking may be given to confirm the
risk of collision.
