or holds the gear selected until the maximum
engine speed is reached.
The steering mounted controls allow the driver
to temporarily select a gear, if the road and
engine speed permit.
Special aspects of manual mode
The change from one gear to another takes
place only if the road speed and engine speed
permit.
Starting the vehicle

Driving on flooded roads
Before driving in a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations
, particularly on flooded
roads, refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system,
this warning lamp flashes for a few

All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on.
The system can be deactivated at any time,
once the ignition is switched on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it restarts
immediately.
The Stop & Start system is reactivated
automatically every time the ignition is
switched

on.It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again with the " START/STOP"
button.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressures while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised ever y time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres. The Stop & Start system requires a
12
V battery of specific technology and
specification.
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.

driving in.
It should be taken into account so that you
obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is a
driving aid system and does not always
display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed of
the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic
conditions.
It is possible for the system to not display
the speed limit if it does not detect a
speed limit sign within a preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs.

For this purpose there is a camera located at the
top of the windscreen, and, depending on the
version, a radar installed in the front bumper.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).
For versions fitted with the EAT8 automatic
gearbox, if traffic conditions allow and the
stop was for less than 3 seconds, your vehicle
restarts automatically.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed. The brake lamps illuminate as soon as
the braking system is activated with
deceleration of the vehicle.
This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need to
obser ve speed limits and safety distances,
nor the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver.
Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be poorly
interpreted by the camera and/or radar
(e.g. a lorry), which may lead to a poor
assessment of the distances and lead to
the vehicle inappropriately accelerating or
braking.
The driver must be ready at all times
to retake control of their vehicle by
permanently holding both hands on the
steering wheel and keeping their feet near
the brake and accelerator pedals.
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.
vehicle to come to a complete stop.
For the versions fitted with the EAT8 gearbox,
your vehicle can restart automatically. The cruise control remains active after
changing gear regardless of the gearbox
type.
It manages the acceleration and deceleration
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the
engine and the braking system.
Adaptive cruise control
This system provides the following
functions:
-

A
utomatically maintains the vehicle
at the speed set by the driver.
-

A
utomatic adjustment of the
distance between your vehicle and
the one in front.
With an automatic gearbox, automatic
adjustment of the distance can cause your

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:
-

This driving aid system is designed to
improve safety when driving and is in no
circumstances a substitute for the use
of the interior rear view mirror and door
mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility to
constantly check the traffic, to assess the
relative distances and speeds of other
vehicles and to anticipate their movements
before deciding whether to change lane.
This system is a driving aid which cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated and
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
The state of the system is memorised when
switching off the ignition. The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towing device
approved by PEUGEOT.
Operation
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.

Principle of operation
With Visiopark 2, the image is created using
both cameras, when going for ward and when
reversing.
When the function is activated, it is possible
that the view from above is not displayed.
If
the function is activated after the vehicle has
already been driven, the view from above may
be completely displayed. Using one or both cameras, the vehicle's close
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is created in real time, as the
vehicle manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen.
This image is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
