Inter-vehicle distance Changing the inter-vehicle distance
This value remains in memory, regardless of
the state of the system.
In the event of the presence of a vehicle
detected by the inter-vehicle distance
radar, if the speed selected is too far
above the speed of that vehicle, the
system is not activated and the alert
message "Activation not possible,
conditions unsuitable" is displayed until
driving conditions are safe to allow
activation of the system.
The inter-vehicle distance setting is
memorised when the ignition is switched
of f.
Exceeding programmed
speed
Using radar with a range of about 100 metres,
l ocated at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a vehicle travelling in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adjusts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the " -" b u t to n).
If your vehicle is too close to the vehicle in
front or is approaching it too quickly, adaptive
cruise control is automatically deactivated.
The driver is then alerted by an audible signal
accompanied by a message.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the adaptive cruise control gradually
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the adaptive cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed. F

P
ress button 6 to select a new inter-vehicle
distance setting from the 3
levels ("Close",
" Normal ", "Distant "). It is possible to exceed the
programmed speed temporarily by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
Simply release the accelerator pedal
to return to the programmed speed.
If the programmed setting is unintentionally
exceeded, descending a steep hill for example,
the speed setting in the instrument panel
flashes as a warning.

SymbolAssociated message Comment
No vehicle detected: the system operates as a standard cruise control.
Detection of a vehicle, at the limit of the range of the radar: the system operates as a
standard cruise control.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your vehicle's
cruise speed setting.
The system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle (within a limit of 20
mph (30 km/h))
and then keeps it at the speed of the vehicle in front so as to obser ve the programmed
inter-vehicle time.
When automatically slowing down behind a vehicle, your true speed may be higher than
the "adjusted speed" displayed.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" When the adjusted speed reaches the limit of regulation (speed setting – 20
mph
(30
km/h)), the adjusted speed flashes together with the speed setting to signal that
automatic deactivation of the system is imminent.
"Cruise control paused". If the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment that it can make and in the absence of
any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change of lane, reduction in
the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused.
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.
Driving

217
When the adaptive cruise control pauses
automatically, it can only be reactivated
when all of the safety conditions are met.
The message "Activation not possible,
conditions unsuitable" is displayed while
reactivation is not possible.
When the conditions allow, it is
recommended that the function be
reactivated by pressing button 2 ( S E T+)
or 3
(SET-), which will make the current
speed of your vehicle the new cruise
speed setting, rather than by pressing
button 4
(on/pause) which reactivates the
cruise control using the old cruise speed
setting, which may be very different from
the current speed of your vehicle.
Operating limits
The regulation range is limited to a
maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h)
between the cruise speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front.
Above this, the system goes into pause if the
safe distance becomes too small. -

i
f the vehicle in front slows down too much
or too suddenly, and the driver does not
brake,
-
i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front,
-
i
f the system does not slow the vehicle
enough to continue to maintain a safe
distance, for example when descending a
steep hill.
Since the radar detection range is relatively
restricted, it is possible that the system cannot
detect:
-

v
ehicles of reduced width, such as
motorcycles, for example, -

v
ehicles not running in the middle of the
lane,
-
v
ehicles entering a corner,
-
v
ehicles changing lane at the last moment.
The cruise control does not take account
of:
- s tationary vehicles,
- v ehicles driving in the opposite
direction.
The adaptive cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing
the accelerator pedal.
The system is paused automatically:

Driving

218
The system does not act on the braking
system, but works only with engine
braking.
The regulation range is limited: there will
no longer be any adjustment of speed if
the difference between the programmed
speed setting and the speed of the vehicle
in front becomes too high.
If the difference between the programmed
speed setting and the speed of the
vehicle in front is too great, the speed
cannot be adjusted: the cruise control is
automatically deactivated.
Collision Risk Alert and
Active Safety BrakeConditions for operation
The Collision Risk Alert system only
operates:
-

w
ith a vehicle pointing in the same direction,
moving or stationary,
-

w
ith pedestrians,
-

a
bove 4 mph (7 km/h) (and deactivates at
3
mph (5 km/h)).
The Active Safety Brake system only
operates:
-

b
etween 3 and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h), in
the case of a moving vehicle,
-

a
t a speed below 50 mph (80 km/h), in the
case of a stationary vehicle,
-

a
t a speed below 37 mph (60 km/h), in the
case of a pedestrian,
-
i

f the passenger seat belts are fastened,
-

i
f the vehicle is not accelerating sharply,
-

i
f the vehicle is not in a tight corner.
The Active Safety Brake system does not
operate:
-

i
f the front bumper is damaged,
-

i
f the system has been triggered in the last
10


seconds,
-

i
f the electronic stability control system has
a fault.
The Collision Risk Aler t system allows the
driver to be warned that their vehicle is at
risk of collision with the vehicle in front or a
pedestrian in their traffic lane.
The Active Safety Brake system inter venes
following the aler t 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.
These systems use a radar located in the
front bumper and a camera at the top of the
windscreen.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the adaptive
cruise control system, you are warned by an
audible signal and the display of the message
"Driving aid functions fault".
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The adaptive cruise control operates by
day and night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
Driving

219
After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Operating limits
In the following cases, deactivating the
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is
recommended:
-
w
hen towing a trailer or caravan,
-

w
hen a load on the roof rack extends
beyond the windscreen (for example: long
objects),
-

w
hen the vehicle is being towed, with the
engine running,
-

w
hen a "space-saver" type spare wheel is
fitted (if your vehicle has one),
-

w
hen on a rolling stand for a ser vice in a
workshop,
-

w
hen in an automatic car wash,
-

i
f the brake lamps are not working. Because of limits in the operation of the
system, it is possible that warnings are
not given, are given too late or seem
unjustified. Consequently, always stay
alert and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
Collision Risk Alert
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen, different levels of alert can be
triggered and displayed in the instrument panel
or the head-up display.
This information also appears in the
head-up display. For more information
on the Head-up display, refer to the
corresponding section. Level 1
: visual alert only, warning
you that the vehicle ahead is very
close.
A message is displayed warning you
to be vigilant when approaching the
target vehicle.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front.
Level 2: visual and audible alert,
warning you that a collision is
imminent.
A message indicating that you
should brake is displayed.
This level of alert is based on the time before
collision. It takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the
one in front, the environmental conditions, the
operation of the vehicle (cornering, pedals
pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best
moment.

Driving

220
Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the first
level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Furthermore, the level 1
alert is never
displayed with the " Close" threshold.
Programming the alert
thresholds
The thresholds for triggering an alert determine
how you wish to be warned of the presence of a
vehicle moving or stationary ahead of you, or a
pedestrian in your traffic lane.
You can select one of three thresholds:
-
"Distant ", to be warned early (cautious
driving).
-
"Normal ".
-
"Close ", to be warned later.
With audio system
Active Safety Brake
If the radar and the camera have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes when the system is operating.
Important : if operation of the
automatic emergency braking is
triggered, you should take back
control of your vehicle and brake
with the pedal to add to or finish the
automatic braking.
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 on the
accelerator pedal.
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or
avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle where
the driver fails to react.
Using a radar and a camera, this system acts
on the vehicle's braking system.
In the " Personalisation-
configuration " menu, activate/
deactivate " Auto. emergency
braking ".
Then change the alert threshold.
With touch screen
In the " Driving/Vehicle " menu,
activate/deactivate " Collision risk
alert and automatic braking ".
Then change the alert threshold.
Press " Confirm " to save the change.
