The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
This should be taken into account in order
to 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 set to those
for the country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is
a driving assistance 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.
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. To maintain correct operation of the
system:
-
R
egularly clean the area in front of the
camera.
-
D
o not carry out any repairs in the area
of the windscreen close to the camera
lens.
When replacing headlamp bulbs, you
are strongly recommended to fit genuine
replacement parts.
The use of other bulbs could reduce the
per formance of the system.
Principles Display in the touch screen
then in the instrument
panel
The signs are displayed in the following two
phases:
-
A
ll new recognised traffic signs are
displayed in the touch screen in the form of
a
pop-up for 40 seconds.
-
T
hese traffic signs are then displayed in the
instrument panel.
The system can display two traffic signs (speed
limit and no overtaking/end of no overtaking) at
the same time in the two specific areas of the
instrument panel.
If an additional traffic sign is detected, such as
one for a
reduced speed limit when the road is
wet, this is displayed in an empty window below
the corresponding sign. Using the camera located at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects and reads
speed limit and no overtaking traffic signs and
signs that indicate the end of these restrictions.
The sign is read by the camera, and then when
the vehicle passes it (at its level), it is displayed
in the instrument panel.

Additional traffic signs are filtered as follows:
- S igns related to snow or ice are displayed
only if the exterior temperature is below
3°C.
-
S
igns related to snow, rain or fog are
displayed only if the wipers are on and the
exterior temperature is below 3°C.
-
S
igns related to heavy goods vehicles are
only displayed if they apply to vehicles
weighing less than 4
tonnes.
-
S
igns related to farm vehicles are not
displayed.
Signs such as the no overtaking sign disappear
after about 40
seconds in the instrument panel.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is set with the MODE button; in
the "Traffic Sign" menu, select "ON" or "OFF".
For more information on Vehicle
configuration , refer to the corresponding
section.
Operating limits
The legislation on speed limits is specific to
each country.
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits in the following cases:
-
p
oor weather (rain, snow),
-
a
tmospheric pollution,
-
t
railer, caravan,
-
d
riving with snow chains fitted,
-
d
riving with a non-genuine suspension kit,
-
p
uncture repair using the temporary repair
kit,
-
y
oung drivers. The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
p
oor visibility (dazzling sun, inadequate
street lighting, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, vehicle too far from the
traffic sign),
-
l
ow temperatures and particularly
severe climatic conditions,
-
w
indscreen area in front of the camera
being: dirty, misted up, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a
s t i c ke r,
-
f
ault with the camera,
-
o
bsolete or incorrect mapping,
-
o
bstructed road signs (by other
vehicles, vegetation, snow),
-
t
raffic signs that do not conform to the
standard, are damaged or distorted,
-
r
oad inclination causing the sign to be
out of the camera view (for example, to
one side).
-
v
ariation of load causing the camera
to be significantly inclined (the system
may not work for a
moment while the
camera recalibrates itself).

Speed limiter
The system prevents the vehicle
from exceeding the speed setting
programmed by the driver.
Speed selection is made with the vehicle
stationary and the engine running or with
the vehicle moving and 2nd gear or higher
engaged.
The minimum speed that can be programmed
is 19
mph (30 km/h).
The vehicle responds to the driver's foot
pressure on the accelerator until resistance is
felt in the pedal, which signifies that the vehicle
has reached the programmed speed.
However, pressing the pedal beyond this point
of resistance to the floor permits exceeding
the programmed speed. To resume use of
the limiter, simply reduce the pressure on
the accelerator pedal gradually and return to
a
speed below the programmed speed. 1.
Selecting the limiter function.
2. Activation/deactivation of the function.
3. Programming a
speed.
The function selection status and the
programmed speed are displayed in the
instrument panel screen. The speed limiter is a
driving aid that
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need to obser ve speed limits or the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Selecting the function
F Turn the ring fully downwards. The speed limiter is selected but
is not yet active.
The display indicates OFF and the last
programmed speed.
Programming a speed
A speed can be programmed without activating
the limiter but with the engine running.
To enter a
speed higher than the previous one:
F
M
ove the control up (+).
A short press increases the speed by 1
mph
(km/h).
Holding it increases the speed in steps of
5
mph (km/h).
To enter a
speed lower than the previous one:
F
M
ove the control down (-).
A short press decreases the speed by 1
mph
(km/h).
Holding it decreases the speed in steps of
5
mph (km/h).

Activation/Deactivation
Exceeding the programmed
speed
F Press f irmly on the
accelerator pedal, going
beyond the point of
resistance , to exceed
the programmed speed
limit. On a
steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
Switching off the function
F Place the ring in the central O position or switch off the ignition
to switch the system off.
The last programmed speed remains in the
memory.
Malfunction
Pressing the button for the first time activates
the speed limiter.
OFF disappears from the screen and
a
message appears to confirm activation.
A second press deactivates it, OFF reappears
in the screen and a
message appears to
confirm deactivation. The limiter is deactivated temporarily and the
programmed speed flashes.
To return to the limiter function, reduce your
speed below the programmed speed.
Fixed speed limiter
If your vehicle is so equipped, you can limit it to
a
fixed speed of 56 or 62 mph (90 or 100 km/h).
A label in the passenger compartment indicates
this maximum speed.
The fixed speed limiter is not a
function like
the cruise control. It cannot be activated or
deactivated by the driver while driving. The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of 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.
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by dashes.
Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by
a
qualified workshop.

The maximum speed set in the factory
depends on the legislation in force in the
country of sale.
This maximum speed cannot be modified
by the driver.
If you want the maximum speed modified,
go to a PEUGEOT dealer.
Cruise control

Malfunction
In the event of a fault, the system is
s witched off and the indicator goes
out.
Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by
a
qualified workshop. Use the cruise control only when traffic
conditions allow you to travel at a
constant
speed for a
certain period of time whilst
keeping a
sufficiently safe distance from
other vehicles.
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
programmed speed: towing, vehicle
heavily loaded, steep climb, etc. The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may impair the operation of the
cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:

Lane Departure Warning
System
System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
A camera fitted at the top centre of the
windscreen monitors the road and detects lane
markings and the position of the vehicle with
respect to them.
With the vehicle running at a
speed higher than
37
mph (60 km/h), it triggers a warning if the
vehicle drifts off line.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
