If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a
trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the
use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased sensitivity to wind
that your vehicle will have.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the ignition is
switched on, this code must be recognised in
order for starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.
In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a message on the screen. The vehicle will not start; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer as soon as possible.

indicates a fault with the system.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the
vehicle in all circumstances and must be
able to retake control of it at all times. The
driver must adapt the speed to climactic
conditions, traffic and the state of the
road.
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
indicating and changing lane.
The systems cannot exceed the limits of
the laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the interior and
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the
feet close to the pedals and take a break
every two hours. Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and
during the whole manoeuvre, in particular
using the mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the
associated functions may be impaired
through the accumulation of dirt (mud,
frost, etc.), in certain difficult weather
conditions (very heavy rain, snow) or if the
bumper is damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop; certain types of paint could
inter fere with the operation of the radar.

Messages and alerts
The display of these messages or alerts is
not sequential.
Operating limits
“Cruise control paused” or “Cruise
control suspended” following a brief
acceleration by the driver.
“Cruise control active”, no vehicle
detected.
“Cruise control active”, vehicle
detected.
“Cruise control active and speed
adjusted”, vehicle detected too close
or at a slower speed.
“Cruise control active and speed
adjusted”, automatic deactivation
imminent following a cruise control
limit being reached.
“Cruise control paused”, automatic
deactivation following speed limit
adjustment being exceeded and no
reaction from the driver. The regulation range is limited to a
maximum difference of 19 mph (30
km/h)
between the cruise speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front.
Above this, the system pauses itself if the
safety distance becomes too short.
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:
-
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.
Cases of non- detection by the radar:
-
S
tationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown,
e t c .) .
-
V
ehicles driving in the opposite direction.

Malfunction
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:The indicator lamp in this button
flashes.
The button flashes and a fault appears.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. Detection may be disrupted:
-
i
f the markings on the ground are worn
and do not contrast well with the road
sur face,
-
i
f the windscreen is dirty,
-
i
n certain extreme weather conditions:
fog, heavy rain, snow, shade, bright
sunlight or direct exposure to the sun
(low sun, leaving a tunnel, etc.).
or
Fatigue detection system
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids
.
Take a break as soon as you feel tired or at
least every two hours.
Depending on version, the function comprises
either the "Driver Attention Warning" system
alone or combined with the "Driver Attention
Alert" system.
Activation/Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is done in
the vehicle configuration menu.
Driver Attention Warning
The system triggers an alert as soon
as 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 opened.
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
Depending on version, the "Driver Attention
Warning" system is combined with the "Driver
Attention Alert" system.

Driving

176
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.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65
km/h)).
When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain threshold of
driver fatigue or inattention, it triggers the first
level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
" Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a further alert with the message " Dangerous
driving: take a break ", accompanied by a
more pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's
level of vigilance. The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
l
ane markings absent, worn, hidden
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks),
-
c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-
r
oads that are narrow, winding, etc.
Blind Spot Detection
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system warns the driver of the presence of
another vehicle (car, lorry, bicycle) in the blind
spots of their vehicle (areas hidden from the
driver's field of vision), as soon as this presents
a potential danger. The alert is given by a fixed warning lamp
which appears in the door mirror on the side in
question:
-
i
mmediately, when being overtaken,
-
a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
Operation
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon
as a vehicle - car, lorry, bicycle - is detected.
The following conditions must be met for this:
-
a
ll vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes,
-
t
he speed of your vehicle must be between
7 and 87 mph (12 and 140
km/h),
-
y
ou overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10
km/h),
-
a v
ehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 16 mph (25
km/h),
Driving

If your vehicle's AdBlue® tank is
completely empty – which is confirmed
by the message "Top up AdBlue: Starting
impossible", you must top up with at least
5 litres.
Important: in the event of a top-up after
a breakdown because of a lack of
AdBlue, you must wait around 5 minutes
before switching on the ignition, without
opening the driver’s door, locking
the vehicle, introducing the key into
the ignition switch, or introducing
the key of the Keyless Entr y and
Star ting system into the passenger
compartment .
Switch on the ignition, then wait for
10
seconds before starting the engine.
Advice on care
General recommendations on the care and
maintenance of your vehicle are given in the
warranty and maintenance record. Observe the following recommendations to avoid damaging your vehicle:
-
D
o not clean your headlamps with a dry or abrasive cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products. Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH neutral product.
-
W
hen using a high-pressure washer on stubborn dirt, avoid prolonged use on the
headlamps, the lamps and their edges to avoid damaging their lacquer finish and seals.
-
N
ever use an abrasive sponge to clean persistent dirt, as this may scratch the paint
sur face. Use a soft cloth with soapy water instead.
-
W
hen washing your vehicle, never clean the interior with a water jet.
-
W
hen washing your vehicle in an automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure to lock your
doors and, depending on version, remove the key and deactivate the " Hands-Free
Access " system.
-
N
ever use high-pressure washing to clean the engine compartment, in order to avoid
damaging the electrical units.
-
L
iquids carried in an open vessel (e.g. a cup or mug) could be spilt, presenting a risk of
damage on contact with the controls in the dashboard and centre console. Be careful.
Depending on version, in order to avoid damaging or unpeeling the stickers on the bodywork,
you are strongly advised against using high-pressure cleaners to wash your vehicle. It is
recommended that you wash it using a high-flow water jet and rinse the vehicle down using
demineralised water.
Only a microfibre cloth is recommended for wiping your vehicle; it must be clean and used
g e nt l y.
It is always preferable to have paint repairs carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
