Modifying the cruise speed
setting
The cruise control must be active.
To modify the cruise 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 .
Driving
141
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
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 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.
To modify the cruise speed setting using
the speed suggested by the Speed Limit
recognition and recommendation system:
F
t
he speed suggested is displayed in the
instrument panel,
F
m
ake a first press on button 5 ; a message
is displayed to confirm the memorisation
request, F
p
ress button 5 again to save the suggested
speed.
The speed displays immediately in the
instrument panel as the new speed setting.

The brake lamps illuminate as soon as
the braking system is activated with
deceleration of the vehicle.
This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need to
obser ve speed limits and safety distances,
nor the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver.
Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be poorly
interpreted by the camera (e.g. a lorry),
which may lead to a poor assessment
of the distances and lead to the vehicle
inappropriately accelerating or braking.
The driver must be ready at all times to
retake control of their vehicle by keeping
both hands on the steering wheel and
keeping the feet near the brake and
accelerator pedals.Steering mounted control

the system.
Pause
The cruise control can be paused manually:
- e ither by action by the driver:
•
O
n the button 4 (Pause).
•
O
n the brake pedal.
•
O
n the automatic electronic parking
brake control.
•
O

approximately 10
seconds or more.

f the ESC system is activated, for safety
reasons.
•
W
hen the speed of the vehicle goes
below 19
mph (30 km/h) (1,100 rpm) with
a manual gearbox.
When the cruise control is paused, it can
only be reactivated when all of the safety
conditions are met again. The message
"Activation not possible, conditions
unsuitable" is displayed while reactivation
is not possible.
Reactivating the function
With manual gearbox
To reactivate the function, the driver must
accelerate to reach at least 19 mph (30 km/h),
then press one of the buttons 2 , 3 or 4.
With 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
19
mph (30 km/h) by pressing one of the
buttons 2 , 3 or 4.
If the driver takes no action following this
immobilisation, the automatic electronic parking
brake is applied automatically after a while
(approximately 5
minutes).
As a safety measure, wait until the current
speed approaches the speed setting to
reactivate the function by pressing button 4 .
Modification of the speed
setting
With the engine running and cruise control on
(green), you can modify the speed setting.
From the current speed
F By successive short presses on button 2 or
3, to lower or raise the setting in steps of +
or -1
mph (km/h).

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
Engine running and with the wheel at the
"CRUISE " position:
F
p
ress button 6 to display the selection
screen for inter-vehicle distance.
F
B
y pressing button 6 repeatedly, cycle
through the predefined settings.
The selection screen closes after a few
seconds.
The change then takes effect.
This setting remains in memory, whatever the state
of the system and when the ignition is switched off.
The selection also applies to the stopping
distance (versions with automatic gearbox
E AT 8) .
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
associated alerts
The table below describes the alerts and
messages displayed depending on the driving
situations.
The display of these alerts is not sequential.
Three threshold settings are suggested for the
inter-vehicle distance:
-
"
Distant " (3 dashes),
-
"
Normal " (2 dashes),
-
"
Close " (1 dash).

The system is not intended for the
following situations:
-
i
f the front end of the vehicle has
been modified (addition of long-range
headlamps, painting of the front
bumper),
-
d
riving on a racing circuit,
-
r
unning on a rolling road,
-
u
se of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-
d
o not place one mat on top of another.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
d
riving on a winding road,
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense
fog, etc.),
-
d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-
c
amera obstructed (mud, frost, snow,
condensation, etc.).
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.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).
The cruise control operates by day and
night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that
you always keep a safe distance from
vehicles ahead, according to the driving
conditions, the weather and the road
sur face.
Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at a
constant speed and keeping an adequate
safety distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas where pedestrians are likely to
cross the road, in heavy traffic (except for
versions with EAT8 gearbox), on winding
or steep roads, on slippery or flooded
roads, when there is snowfall, if the
windscreen is damaged or when the brake
lamps have failed.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be possible for the speed setting to be
maintained or even attained: loaded
vehicle, ascending a steep hill, etc.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Memorising speeds
Linked to the speed limiter and programmable
cruise control, this function allows speed limits
to be registered which will then be suggested
as settings for these two systems.
You can memorise several speed settings for
each system.
