The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come 
on if there is a fault.
►
 
Switch off the ignition then start the engine 
again with the key or the " ST

The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V 
battery of specific technology and 
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be 
carried out only by a PEUGEOT
 dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures  of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel 
speed sensors with  reference values, which 
must be reinitialised every time the tyre 
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it 
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or 
more tyres.
Under-inflation detection does not 
replace the need for vigilance on the part 
of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to 
regularly check the tyre pressures (including 
the spare wheel), especially before a long 
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly 
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high 
speed, long journey):
–
 
worsens road-holding.
–
 
lengthens braking distances.
–
 
causes premature wear of the tyres.
–
 
increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure 
label.
For more information on the  Identification 
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the 
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or 
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10
  km) at 
moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures 
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be 
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow 
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination  of this warning lamp, accompanied by an

6For 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 is designed to detect signs that 
conform to the Vienna Convention on road 
signs.
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.
It is set via the vehicle 
configuration menu.
Information displayed on 
the instrument panel
 
 
1. Detected speed limit indication
or
2. End of speed limit indication
 
 
The system is active but is not detecting speed 
limit information.
 
 
On detecting speed limit information, the system 
displays the value.
 
 
For a suggested maximum speed, the first time 
that the vehicle exceeds it by  more than 3 mph 
(5
  km/h) (e.g. 59 mph (95   km/h)), the speed is 
displayed flashing for 10 seconds (depending on 
version).
Operating limits
The system does not take account of reduced 
speed limits, especially those imposed in the 
following cases:
–
 
Poor weather (rain, snow).
–
 
Atmospheric pollution.
–
  Towing.
–
 
Driving with a space-saver type spare wheel 
or snow chains fitted.
–
 
T
 yre repaired using the temporary puncture 
repair kit.
–
 
Y
 oung drivers.
The system may not display the speed limit if it 
does not detect a speed limit sign within a preset 
period and in the following situations:
–
 
Road signs that are obstructed, non-standard, 
damaged or bent.
–
 
Obsolete or incorrect maps.

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 speed setting.
Brake if necessary to control the speed of 
your vehicle.
 
 
Once the speed of the vehicle returns to the 
programmed setting, the speed limiter functions 
again: the display of the speed setting becomes 
fixed again.
Switching off
► Turn the thumbwheel  1  to the "OFF" position: 
the display of information on the speed limiter 
disappears.
Malfunction 
 
Dashes are displayed (flashing, initially, then

Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Cruise control - particular 
recommendations
For the safety of everyone, only use the 
cruise control where the driving 
conditions allow running at a constant speed 
and keeping an adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant when the cruise control is 
activated. If you hold one of the speed setting 
modification buttons, a very rapid change in 
the speed of your vehicle may occur.
When descending a steep hill , the cruise 
control system cannot prevent the vehicle 
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if 
necessary to control the speed of your 
vehicle.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set 
speed may not be reached or maintained.

Driving
Drive Assist  Plus
Only available on versions with electric 
automatic gearbox (Hybrid).
This system automatically adjusts the speed and 
corrects the trajectory, using the Adaptive Cruise 
Control with Stop & Go function in conjunction 
with the Lane Positioning Assist.
These two functions must be activated and in 
operation.
This system is especially suitable for driving on 
motorways and main roads.
For more information on Adaptive Cruise 
Control and Lane Positioning Assist, refer to 
the corresponding sections.
The system assists the driver by acting  on the steering, acceleration and braking, 
within the limits of the laws of physics and the 
capabilities of the vehicle. Certain road 
infrastructure elements or vehicles present on 
the road may not be properly seen or may be 
poorly interpreted by the camera and radar, 
resulting in an unexpected change in 
direction, a lack of steering correction and/or 
inappropriate management of acceleration or 
braking.

Lane positioning assist
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
Only available on versions with electric 
automatic gearbox (Hybrid).
Using a camera located at the top of the 
windscreen, the system identifies lane markings 
and steers the vehicle inside this lane, keeping it 
in the lateral position chosen by the driver.
This function is primarily suitable for driving on 
motorways and main roads.
Conditions for operation
– Adaptive Cruise Control active. –  
T
 raffic lane marked out by lines on both sides.
–  
ESC system operational.
–

When cruise control is activated, the symbol is 
displayed in green: by small steering actions, 
the system directs the vehicle and keeps it in the 
position chosen by the driver, in the traffic lane. 
This position is not necessarily the centre of the 
lane.
The driver can feel movements in the steering 
wheel.
The driver can change the position of the vehicle 
at any time, by turning the steering wheel, which 
suspends the function. The driver positions the 
vehicle where they wish to in the lane. When 
the driver feels that the vehicle’s position is 
appropriate, they maintain it until the function 
is reactivated. The system regains control by 
regulating on the new defined position.

Driving
Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle 
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings 
detected, it makes the correction to the trajectory 
required 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.

Lane Departure Warning 
System
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system, using a camera which recognises 
solid or broken lines, detects the involuntary 
crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on 
the ground.
If the driver's attention drops and the speed 
is higher than 37 mph (60
  km/h), the system 
triggers a warning if there is an unexpected 
change of direction.
This system is particularly useful on motorways 
and main roads.
 
 
Activation/Deactivation
This function cannot be deactivated on versions 
without a touch screen.
This function is set via the Driving / 
V ehicle touch screen menu.
The status of the system stays in the memory 
when switching off the ignition.
Detection
If an unexpected change of direction is 
detected, this warning lamp flashes in the 
instrument panel accompanied by an audible 
signal.
No warning is transmitted while the direction 
indicator is activated and for approximately 20 
seconds after the direction indicator is switched 
off.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp comes on on the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the display of a message and 
an audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Active Lane Keeping  Assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Using a camera located at the top of the 
windscreen to identify lane markings on the road, 
the system corrects the trajectory of the vehicle 
while alerting the driver if it detects a risk of 
unintentionally crossing a line.
This system is particularly useful on motorways 
and main roads.
 
 
Conditions for operation
– Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70 
and 180
  km/h).
–
 
T
 raffic lane with one or more (continuous or 
broken) ground markings.
–
 
Steering wheel held in both hands.
–
 
Direction indicators not activated.
–
 
ESC system activated and operational.
The system helps the driver only if there is a risk of the vehicle unintentionally 
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It 
does not manage the safe driving distance, 
vehicle speed or 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 intervene (if lane 
markings disappear, for example).
