Temporarily exceeding the 
programmed speed
If needed (e.g. for overtaking), it is 
possible to exceed the programmed 
speed by pressing the accelerator 
pedal.
The cruise control is temporarily overridden 
and the programmed speed setting flashes.
To return to the programmed speed, simply 
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the 
programmed speed, the cruise control takes 
over again: the display of the programmed 
speed setting becomes fixed again. When descending a steep hill, the cruise 
control system cannot prevent the vehicle 
from exceeding the programmed speed.
You may have to brake to control the 
speed of your vehicle. In this case, the 
cruise control is automatically paused.
To activate the system again, with the 
speed of the vehicle above 25 mph 
(40
  km/h), press button 4

Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the " 0” position: 
the cruise control information disappears 
from the screen.
Malfunction
The display of dashes (flashing then fixed) 
indicates a fault with the cruise control system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Refer to the General recommendations 
on the use of driving and manoeuvring 
aids  and to Cruise control - par ticular 
recommendations .
This system automatically  maintains 
the speed of your vehicle at a value 
which you set (speed setting), while 
keeping a safe distance from the 
vehicle in front (target vehicle), and 
which has been set beforehand by 
the driver. The system automatically 
manages the acceleration and 
deceleration of the vehicle using just 
engine braking (as if the driver had 
pressed the "-" button).
To do so, it has a radar located in the front 
b u m p e r.

Driving   

168
Primarily designed for driving on main 
roads and motor ways, this system only 
works with moving vehicles driving in the 
same direction as your vehicle.
If the driver operates a direction indicator 
to overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise 
control allows your vehicle to temporarily 
approach the vehicle in front to assist 
the overtaking manoeuvre, without ever 
exceeding the speed setting.
Some vehicles present on the road 
may not be properly seen or may be 
poorly interpreted by radar (e.g. a lorry), 
which may lead to a poor assessment 
of the distances and lead to the vehicle 
inappropriately accelerating or braking.Steering mounted control

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.

The adaptive cruise control operates by 
day and night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
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 great.
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.Malfunction
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.
Active Safety Brake 
with Distance Alert and 
Intelligent emergency 
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on 
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system allows:
-
 
t
 he driver to be warned that their vehicle is 
at risk of collision with the vehicle in front,
-
 
a c
 ollision to be prevented, or its severity to 
be limited, by reducing the vehicle’s speed.

- Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency b r ak ing).
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of 
the windscreen and a radar located in the front 
b u m p e r. This system does not avoid the need for 
vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the 
driver and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to 
continuously monitor the state of the 
traffic, observing the driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a potential 
obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in 
case automatic braking is needed. This 
may cause a slight noise and a slight 
sensation of deceleration.Operating conditions and 
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few 
bends is required.
In the following cases, deactivating the system 
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
-
 
t
 owing a trailer,
-
 
c
 arrying long objects on roof bars or roof 
rack,
-
 w
ith snow chains fitted,
-
 
b
 efore using an automatic car wash, with 
the engine running,
-

in a workshop,
-
 
t
 owed vehicle, engine running,
-
 d
amaged front bumper,
-
 
F
 ollowing an impact to the windscreen close 
to the detection camera.
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 or a pedestrian 
present in their traffic lane.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision 
detected by the system and the alert threshold 
chosen by the driver, several different levels 
of alert may be triggered and displayed in the 
instrument panel.
They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the 
speeds of your vehicle and the one in front, the 
environmental conditions and the operation of 
the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals, 
etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.
Level
  1 (orange colour) : visual 
alert only, signalling that the vehicle 
in front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is 
displayed. 
Driving   

173
Level 2 (red colour): v isual and 
audible alert, signalling that a 
collision is imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
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.
Important:  the level
  1 alert is never 
displayed for a stationary obstacle or 
when the " Close" trigger threshold has 
been selected.
Modifying the alert trigger 
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish 
to be warned of the presence of a moving 
or stationary vehicle in front of you, or a 
pedestrian present in your traffic lane.
The current threshold can be 
modified in the vehicle configuration 
menu using the audio system or the 
touch screen.
You can select one of three pre-defined 
thresholds:
-
  "Distant ",
-
  "Normal ", -
  "
Close ".
The last threshold selected is memorised when 
the ignition is switched off.
Intelligent emergency 
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid 
a collision, this system will supplement the 
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you 
press the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake
Operation
The system operates under the following 
conditions:
-
 
T
 he vehicle's speed does not exceed 
37 mph (60 km/h) when a pedestrian is 
detected.
-
 
T
 he vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 
mph (80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle is 
detected.
-
 
T
 he vehicle's speed is between 3   mph 
and 53
  mph (5   km/h and 85   km/h) when a 
moving vehicle is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for about 
10
  seconds) once the function is 
acting on the vehicle's brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of 
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle 
comes to a complete stop, keep the brake 
pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from 
starting off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of 
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle 
comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall. This function, also called automatic emergency 
braking, inter venes following the alerts if the 
driver does not react quickly enough and does 
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a 
frontal collision by your vehicle where the driver 
fails to react.

Driving   

174
The driver can maintain control of the 
vehicle at any time by sharply turning 
the steering wheel and/or pressing the 
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by 
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, 
the automatic braking is maintained for 1 
to 2 seconds.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically 
activated at every engine start.This system can be deactivated 
or activated via the vehicle 
configuration menu.
Deactivation of the system is 
signalled by the illumination of this 
indicator lamp, accompanied by the 
display of a message.
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.
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.
Lane departure warning 
system
Refer to the General recommendations on 
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
System that uses a camera to recognise 
continuous or broken lines on traffic lanes and 
triggers an alert if the vehicle wanders off line.
If the direction indicator is not activated at a 
speed of over 50 mph (80
  km/h) and there is a 
risk of one of these lines on the ground being 
crossed, the system triggers the alert.
Detection - Alert
You are alerted by the flashing of this 
warning lamp in the instrument panel, 
accompanied by an audible signal.
No warning is transmitted while the 
direction indicator is active and for 
approximately 20 seconds after the 
direction indicator is switched off.
