speed.
The speed displays immediately in the
instrument panel as the new speed setting.
For more information on the Speed Limit
recognition and recommendation , refer to
the corresponding section.
As a precaution, it is recommended
that you select a cruise speed close to
the current speed of your vehicle, so
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle.
Modification of the programmed
inter-vehicle distance
Three threshold settings are suggested for the
inter-vehicle distance:
- "Distant " (3 dashes),
-
"Normal " (2 dashes),
-
"Close " (1 dash).
Engine running and with the thumbwheel at the
" CRUISE " position:
F

P
ress button 6 to display the selection
screen for inter-vehicle distance.
F

B
y pressing button 6 repeatedly, cycle
through the predefined settings.
The selection screen closes after a few
seconds.
The change then takes effect.
This setting remains memorised, whatever the
state of the system and when the ignition is
switched off.
The selection also applies to the stopping
distance (with EAT6 and EAT8 automatic
gearbox).
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.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return
to the programmed speed.
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.
Driving situations and
associated alerts
To benefit from all necessary information in the
instrument panel, you must previously select
the "DRIVING" display mode.
The table below describes the alerts and
messages displayed depending on the driving
situation.
The display of these alerts is not sequential.

During the vehicle immobilisation phase,
it is recommended:
-

N
ot to open the doors.
-

N
ot to drop off or pick up passengers.
-
N

ot to engage reverse gear.
When the vehicle restarts, watch out for
cyclists, pedestrians or animals which may
not be detected properly.
Operating limits
The system cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
Certain situations cannot be managed by the
system and require the driver to take back
control of the vehicle.
Cases of non- detection by the system:
-

Pe
destrians, some cyclists, animals.
-

S
tationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown,
e t c .) . When the driver must suspend the cruise
control system:
Cases where the driver is urged to take
back control immediately:
-
E
xcessively sharp deceleration of the
vehicle in front of you.
-

V
ehicles crossing your lane.
-

V
ehicles driving in the opposite direction. -

V
ehicles in a tight bend.
-
W
hen approaching a roundabout.
-
W
hen following a narrow vehicle.
Reactivate cruise control when conditions
permit.
-

W
hen a vehicle cuts in sharply between
your vehicle and the one in front. The system must not be activated in the
following situations:
-

U
se of the "space-saver" type spare wheel
(depending on version).
-

To w i n g .
-
F
ollowing an impact on the windscreen
close to the camera or on the front bumper
(versions with radar).
-
A
dverse weather conditions (especially for
versions with camera only).
Be particularly careful:
-
W
hen motorcycles are present and
when there are vehicles staggered
onto the traffic lane.
-

W
hen you enter a tunnel or cross a
bridge.

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 adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go function must be active.
-

T
he vehicle must be travelling in a traffic
lane clearly delimited on both sides.
-

T
he ESC system must be operating.
-

T
he ASR must not be deactivated.
-

N
o trailer detected.
-
S

mall-diameter, "space-saver" type spare
wheel not being used.
-

T
he vehicle must not be subjected to strong
lateral accelerations.
-

T
he direction indicators must not be
activated.
Activation/Deactivation
The state of the system stays in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
F

W
ith the adaptive cruise control with Stop &
Go function activated, press this button.

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.
On action by the driver: suspension
- A ctivation of the direction indicators.
-
T

ravelling outside the lane limits.
-

T
oo tight a grip on the steering wheel or
dynamic action on the steering wheel.
-

A
ction on the brake pedal (pausing the
cruise control until its reactivation) or
accelerator pedal (suspension during
the
time when the pedal is pressed).
-

P
ausing the cruise control.
-

D
eactivation of the ASR.
After suspension due to the prolonged
release of pressure holding the steering
wheel, you must reactivate the function by
pressing the button again.

This system allows:
- t he driver to be warned that their vehicle is
at risk of collision with the vehicle in front, a
pedestrian or, depending on the version, a
cyclist,
-

a c
ollision to be prevented, or its severity to
be limited, by reducing the vehicle’s speed.
The system also takes motorcyclists and
animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5
m and objects on the road are
not necessarily detected.
The system must not be activated in the
following situations:

W

hen driving on a small-diameter
spare wheel.
-

W

hen towing, especially with an
unconnected or unapproved trailer.
-
Un

favourable climatic conditions.
