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,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
Programmable cruise
control
System which automatically
maintains the cruising speed of the
vehicle at a setting programmed by
the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal. The cruise control remains active after
changing gear, regardless of the gearbox
type, on vehicles fitted with Stop & Start.
The operation of the cruise control can be
temporarily interrupted (pause):
-
b
y pressing control 4 or by pressing the
brake pedal,
-
a
utomatically, if operation of the dynamic
stability control system is triggered.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to obser ve speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
As a safety measure, you are advised to
keep your feet near the pedals at all times.
With a manual gearbox, it requires the
engagement of third gear or higher.
With an automatic gearbox, it requires the
engagement of the selector in mode D or of
second gear or higher in mode M
.

With the EAT6 automatic gearbox
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 above
1

mph (2

km/h) by pressing button 2
, 3 or 4.
If the driver takes no action following this
immobilisation, the electric parking brake is
applied automatically after a while (approx. five
minutes).
With the EAT8 automatic gearbox
Following braking of the vehicle bringing it to
a complete stop, if the traffic conditions do not
allow the vehicle to be restarted immediately, With the engine running and cruise control on
(green), you can modify the speed setting.
The cruise speed setting then becomes equal to:
-

t

he current speed of your vehicle, if it is over
19 mph (30 km/h),
-

1

9 mph (30

km/h), if it is below 19 mph
(30


km/h).
Remembering the settings
Switching off the ignition cancels any speed
setting value chosen by the driver.
By default, the inter-vehicle distance is set
at " Normal " (2 dashes). Other wise, the last
setting made will be used when switching on
the system.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system,
you are alerted by the continuous
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
Fatigue detection system
Take a break as soon as you feel tired or at
least every two hours.
The function comprises the "Driver Attention
Warning" system combined with the "Driver
Attention Alert".These systems cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver who must remain in control of their
decisions. In no case can these systems
keep the driver awake or prevent them from
falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if they
feel tired.
Activation/Deactivation
These functions are activated and
deactivated in the Driving /Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
The state of the system is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
Driver Attention Warning
The system triggers an alert once it
detects that the driver has not taken
a break after two hours of driving at
a speed above 40 mph (65
km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-

e

ngine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes,
-

t

he ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes,
-

t

he driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is open. As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 40 mph (65
km/h), the system goes
into standby.
The driving time is counted again once the
speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).
Driver Attention Alert
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65
km/h)).
Using a camera placed at the top
of the windscreen, the system
assesses the driver's level of
vigilance by identifying variations
in trajectory compared to the lane
markings.
If these warning lamps come on after
the engine has been switched off
and restarted, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
