Speed Limit recognition
and recommendation
This function is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the driver’s
own vigilance nor compliance with the
highway code.
The actual signs always take priority over
those suggested by the system.
The signs must comply with the Vienna
Convention on road signs.
This system displays the maximum authorised
speed in the instrument panel, according to
the speed limits in the country in which you are
driving, using: -
S
peed limit signs detected by the camera.
-
S
peed limit details from the navigation
system mapping.
It is necessary to update your navigation
mapping regularly in order to receive
accurate information on speed limits from
the system.

Speed limit at cer tain times
Example: 19
mph (30 km/h) (for example)
with a "clock" symbol The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
It should be taken into account so that you
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 those for the
country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is a
driving aid 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
conditions.
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.
Driving
135
To maintain correct operation of the
system: regularly clean the area in front of
the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Specific speed limits, such as those for
heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the
instrument panel is updated as you pass
a speed limit sign intended for cars (light
vehicles).
Activation/Deactivation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.Activation and deactivation is done
via the vehicle configuration menu.
Displays in the instrument panel
1.Detected speed limit indication.
or
2. Indication of the end of the speed limit.
The system is active but is not detecting speed
limit information.
On detection of speed limit information, the
system displays the value.
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:
-
a
tmospheric pollution,
-
w
hen towing,
-
d
riving with a space-saver type spare wheel
or snow chains fitted,
-
p
uncture repair using the temporary repair
kit,
-
y
oung drivers, etc.
For a suggested maximum speed, the first
time that the vehicle’s speed exceeds it by
more than 3
mph (5 km/h) (example: 59 mph
(95 km/h)), the speed flashes for 10 seconds.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it from
working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
falling snow, rain, fog),
-
w
indscreen area located in front of the
camera: dirty, misted, frost-covered, snow-
covered, damaged or covered by a sticker,

- obsolete or incorrect mapping,
- h idden road signs (other vehicles,

peed limit signs that do not conform to the
standard, are damaged or distorted.
If an app on your smart phone is used
via Mirror Screen, the sign displayed by
the system may be temporarily hidden. It
will be redisplayed as soon as you pass
another sign.

Memorising the speed
On detection of a sign offering a new speed
limit, the system displays the value and MEM
flashes for a few seconds to offer to make it a
new speed setting.
In addition to Speed Limit recognition and
recommendation , the driver can keep the
speed displayed as a speed setting for the
speed limiter or cruise control using the speed
limiter or cruise control stalk storage button. If there is a difference of less than 6
mph
(10
km/h) between the speed setting and
the speed displayed by the Speed Limit
recognition and recommendation, the
MEM symbol is not displayed.
Depending on the road conditions, several
speeds may be displayed.

own vigilance nor compliance with the
highway code.
The actual signs always take priority over
the display by the system.
The signs must comply with the Vienna
Convention on road signs.
Using the camera installed at the top of the
windscreen, this additional system recognises
these road signs and displays them in the
instrument panel.
One-way street: if you start driving down a one-
way street the wrong way, an alert message,
including the sign's symbol, is displayed in the
instrument panel (request to check the traffic
direction).
Other signs: when approaching one of these
signs, the sign’s symbol is displayed in the
instrument panel.
Speed limiter
This system prevents the vehicle
from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually.
The minimum programmed speed is 19 mph
(30
km/h).
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.

Adjusting the limit speed
setting
You do not have to switch the speed limiter on
in order to set the speed. To modify the limit speed setting from the
current speed of the vehicle:
F
i
n steps of +/- 1 mph (km/h), make
successive short presses on button 2 or 3 ,
F
c
ontinuously, in steps of +/- 5 mph (km/h),
press and hold button 2 or 3 .
To modify the limit speed setting using
memorised speeds and from the touch screen:
F
p
ress button 5 to display the memorised
speed settings,
F
p
ress the button for the desired speed
setting.
The selection screen closes after a few
moments.
This setting becomes the new limit speed.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
F If the speed setting is suitable (last speed setting programmed in the system), press
button 4 to switch the speed limiter on.
F
P
ressing button 4 again temporarily
interrupts the function (pause). F
I
f you want to temporarily exceed the
programmed limit speed, press firmly
on
the accelerator pedal, going beyond the
point of resistance .
When the limit speed is exceeded but this is not
due to action by the driver (in case of a steep
slope, for example), an audible signal triggers
immediately. The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
If it is exceeded for a prolonged period of time,
an audible warning is triggered.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return
to below the programmed speed.
To modify the limit speed setting from the
speed suggested by the vehicle Speed Limit
recognition and recommendation:

speed.
The speed displays immediately in the
instrument panel as the new speed setting. 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.
You may have to brake to control the
speed of your vehicle.

Take care: pressing and holding button 2
or 3 results in a rapid change in the speed
of your vehicle.
As a precaution, it is recommended
that the cruise speed chosen be close
to the current speed of your vehicle, so
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle.
To modify the cruise speed setting using
memorised speed settings and from the touch
screen:
F
p

speed settings,
F
p
ress the button for the desired speed
setting.
The selection screen closes after a few
moments.
This setting becomes the new cruise speed.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
If needed (for overtaking, etc.) it is possible to
exceed the programmed speed by pressing the
accelerator pedal. 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 wheel 1 to position " 0". The display
of information related to the cruise control
disappears.
MalfunctionThe 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 steady again. Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the cruise
control system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
