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.

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,
-

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

Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at a
constant speed and at an adequate safe
distance for a period of time.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, or in
conditions of poor visibility (heavy rain,
fog, falling snow, etc.).
In some circumstances, it may not be
possible to maintain or even reach the
cruise speed set: towing, vehicle heavily
loaded, steep climb.
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 positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-
n
ever fit one mat on top of another.Dynamic cruise control
This system provides the following
functions:
-
A
utomatically maintains the vehicle
at the speed set by the driver.
-
A
utomatic adjustment of the
distance between your vehicle and
the one in front.
Speed regulation remains active after
changing gear regardless of the gearbox
type.
It manages the acceleration and deceleration
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the
engine and the braking system. Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motor ways, this system only
works on moving vehicles
, driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.
Principle of operation
The system automatically adapts the speed of
your vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to
maintain a constant distance.
If the vehicle in front is driving more slowly, the
system slows, or even stops your vehicle, using
engine braking and the braking system (for
versions fitted with an automatic gearbox).
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
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, though never exceeding the
programmed speed.
With an automatic gearbox, automatic
adjustment of the distance can cause your
vehicle to come to a complete stop.
For this purpose there is a camera located at
the top of the windscreen.

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 .

Active Safety Brake
with Distance Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
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.
This system is a driving aid that includes three
functions:
-
D
istance Alert (alert if there is a risk of
collision),
-
I
ntelligent emergency braking assistance,
-
A
ctive Safety Brake (automatic emergency
b r ak ing).
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen.
By default, some speed settings are already
memorised.
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.
This system does not replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
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.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
This system can be deactivated or
activated via the vehicle settings
menu.
With this button, you can select a memorised
speed setting to use with the speed limiter or
the programmable cruise control. Deactivation of the system is signalled
by the illumination of this indicator
lamp, accompanied by the display of a
message.
Driving

151
Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The DSC/ASR systems must not be
deactivated.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required.The system is automatically deactivated
after the use of certain "space-saver"
type spare wheels is detected (smaller
diameter).
The system is automatically deactivated
after detection of a fault with the brake
pedal switch or with at least two brake
lamps. 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 his vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian
present in his traffic lane.
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,
-
b
efore placing the vehicle on a rolling road
in a workshop,
-
t
owed vehicle, engine running,
-
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.
The current threshold can
be modified via the vehicle
configuration menu.
You can select one of three pre-defined
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.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish to be
warned of the presence of a vehicle moving
or stationary in front of you, or a pedestrian
present in your traffic lane. Level 1 (orange)
: visual alert only,
signalling to you that the vehicle in
front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.
6
Driving

152
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.
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.
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.
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. If the camera has confirmed the
presence of a vehicle or a pedestrian,
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.
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.
- The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle is
detected.
-
T
he vehicle's speed must be between 6 mph
and 53
mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) when a
moving vehicle is detected.
Driving

153
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.
Active Lane Departure
Warning System
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the
ground and the edges of the road (depending
on version), the system corrects the trajectory
of the vehicle while alerting the driver if it
detects a risk of involuntarily crossing a line or
hard shoulder (depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and expressways.
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and 112 mph (65 and 180 km/h).
The driver must hold the wheel with both hands.
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
The ASR /DSC systems must be activated and
not faulty.
This system is a driving aid which cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver. The
driver must remain in control of the vehicle
in all circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when
there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane in which it is
being driven. It does not manage the safe
driving distance, the speed of the vehicle
or the brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel
with both hands in a way that allows
control to be maintained in circumstances
where the system is not able to inter vene
(if lane markings disappear, for example).
It is necessary to obser ve the highway
code and take a break every two hours.
Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border),
it makes the correction to the trajectory
necessary to return the vehicle to its initial path.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
The driver can prevent the correction by
keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during
an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).
The correction is interrupted if the
direction indicators are operated.
If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough during
an automatic correction of trajectory,
it interrupts the correction. An alert is
triggered to encourage the driver to take
back control of the vehicle.
