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

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.

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

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

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.
