complete
stop and is holding it immobilised.
The driver must accelerate to move off again.
The cruise control remains paused until the driver
reactivates it.
Driving

153
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 by
pressing one of buttons 2 , 3
or 4. If the driver
takes no action following this immobilisation,
the electric parking brake is applied
automatically after a
while (approximately
5


minutes).
Operating limits
The system cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
Certain situations cannot be managed by the
system and require the driver to take back
control of the vehicle.
Cases of non- detection by the camera:
-

Pe
destrians, some cyclists, animals.
-

S
tationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown,
e t c .) . When the driver must suspend the cruise
control system:

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,
-

n
ever 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
f o g , e t c .),
-

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 adapt the speed and the safety
distance in relation to the vehicles ahead,
according to the driving conditions, the
weather and the road surface.
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 only, this function allows speed
limits to be registered which will then be
suggested as settings for these two systems.
Driving

155
As a safety measure, the driver must
o nly modify the speed settings when
stationary.
" MEM " button
For more information on the Speed limiter or
Cruise control , refer to the associated section.
With this button, you can select a
memorised
speed setting to use with the speed limiter or
the programmable cruise control.
Changing a speed setting
From the Driving/Vehicle menu of
the touch screen, select " Driving
functions " then "Memorised speed
settings ".
Active Safety Brake
with Distance Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistanceThis 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.
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. 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.
You can memorise several speed settings for
each system.
By default, some speed settings are already
memorised.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
The system can be deactivated or
activated via the vehicle settings
menu.
Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a
message.

156
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 following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-

p
oor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense
f o g , e t c .),
-

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,
misting, etc.).
On versions with camera alone, this
message indicates to you that the camera
is obstructed: " Driving aids camera:
visibility limited, see user guide ".
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced. Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly 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.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
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 impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
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.
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.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish
to be alerted of the presence of a moving
or stationary vehicle in front of you, or
a
pedestrian present in your traffic lane.
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.
Driving

157
The current threshold can
be modified via the vehicle
configuration menu.
You can select one of three predefined
thresholds:
-

" Distant ",
-

" Normal ",
-

" Close ".
The last threshold selected is kept in memory
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.
Level 1 (orange) : visual alert only,
signalling to you that the vehicle in
front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" 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.
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. 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.
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.
Active Safety Brake
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.
6
Driving

158
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.
Active Lane Departure
Warning System
Using a camera located at the top of the
w indscreen 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
roadside (depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between
40 mph and 112 mph (65 km/h and 180 km/h).
The driver must hold the steering wheel with
both hands.
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
The ESC system must be activated and fault-
free.
This system is a driving aid that cannot, in
a ny circumstances, replace the driver's own
vigilance. The driver must remain in control
of the vehicle under all circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when
there is a
risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane it is being driven
in. 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 driving
regulations and take a
break every two
hours.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system, you
ar e 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.
