Deactivating automatic
operation
In some situations, for example when it is
extremely cold or when towing (e.g. caravan,
breakdown), it may be necessary to deactivate
automatic operation of the system.




► Start the engine.
► Use the control lever to apply the parking
brake, if it is released.
►

T
ake your foot fully off the brake pedal.
►

Hold the control lever pressed in the release
direction for between 10 and a maximum of 15
seconds.
►


Release the control lever
.
►

Depress and hold the brake pedal.
►

pedal.
From now on, the parking brake can only be
applied and released manually using the control
lever
.
Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic
operation (confirmed by the indicator lamp on the
instrument panel going off).
Emergency braking
In the event of a fault with the brake pedal or
in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver taken ill,
driver under instruction), a continuous pull on the
electric parking brake control lever will brake the
vehicle. Braking continues while the control lever
is pulled, and ceases when the control lever is
released.
The ABS and DSC systems stabilise the vehicle
during emergency braking.
If emergency braking malfunctions, the message
"Parking brake control faulty" will be displayed
on the instrument panel.
If the ABS and DSC systems
malfunction, indicated by lighting
one or both warning lamps on the instrument
panel, the vehicle’s stability is no longer ensured.
In this event, the driver must keep the vehicle
stable by successively pulling and releasing the
control lever, repeating the operation until the
vehicle has stopped.
6-speed manual gearbox
Engaging 5th or 6th gear
► Move the gear selector fully to the right to
engage 5th or 6th gear.

of the vehicle's maximum performance.
Electric power is used to supplement the petrol
engine as long as there is energy left in the
battery.
4WD (4-wheel drive)
Depending on equipment.
4WD mode ("4-wheel drive") improves the
vehicle's grip at low and moderate speeds by
driving all 4 wheels continuously.
This mode is especially suited to snow-covered
roads and difficult terrain (mud, sand, etc.) as
well as ford crossings, at moderate speed.
Depending on the driving conditions and the
battery charge level, 4WD mode may be 100%
electric.
This mode will be even more effective if the vehicle is fitted with suitable tyres,
such as winter tyres.
The grip can be improved up to 84 mph (135
km/h) using the electric motors; above this
speed, the vehicle is driven by the front wheels
only.

Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are only
optional. In fact, the configuration of the road,
the traffic density and safety remain determining
factors when choosing the best gear. Therefore,
the driver remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the system’s advice.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the instrument panel in the form of an arrow and the
recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s
requirements (power, acceleration, braking,
etc.).
The system never suggests:
–

engaging first gear
,
–

engaging reverse.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,
queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically
- START mode - as soon as the driver wishes to
move off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of
the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Deactivation/Reactivation
The function is activated by default when the
ignition is switched on.
With the button on the dashboard



► Press the button.

Driving
6The systems cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel
with both hands, always use the interior and
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the
feet close to the pedals and take a break
every two hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the
associated functions may be impaired through
the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.), in
certain difficult weather conditions (very heavy
rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop;
certain types of paint could interfere with the
operation of the radar.


Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or
masked by a sticker.
On versions with camera alone, this message
indicates to you that the camera is obstructed:
"Driving aids camera: visibility limited, see
user guide".
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s)
displayed on the touch screen or on the
instrument panel may be distorted by the
relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors as well as
the associated functions may be disturbed
by sound interference such as that emitted
by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.

132
Driving
For 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.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 3M = cm away
from the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may interfere with the operation of
the speed limiter or cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
►

ensure that the mat is secured correctly
,
►

never fit one mat on top of another
.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Memorising speeds
This function, used only for the speed limiter
and programmable cruise control, lets you
save speed settings that will subsequently be
proposed for the purpose of configuring these
two systems.
You can memorise multiple speed settings for
each of the two systems.
By default, some speed settings are already
memorised.
As a safety measure, the driver must only change speed settings when stationary.
Changing a speed setting
Speed settings can be activated,
deactivated, selected and changed in the
Driving
/ Vehicle touch screen menu.
"MEM" button



With this button, you can select a memorised
speed setting to use with the speed limiter or the
programmable cruise control.
For more information on the Speed limiter
or Cruise control, refer to the corresponding
section.
Speed Limit Recognition
and Recommendation
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system displays the maximum authorised
speed in the instrument panel, according to
the speed limits in the country in which you are
driving, using:
–

Speed limit signs detected by the camera.
–


Speed limit details from the navigation system
mapping.
You should update your navigation mapping regularly in order to receive
accurate speed limit information from the
system.
The units for the speed limit (mph or km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
This should be taken into account so that you
observe the speed limit.

The indicator lamp in the button goes off and the
symbol disappears from the instrument panel.
The system status is saved when the ignition is switched off.
Cruise control
The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.
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.

146
Driving

The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and, depending on version, a
radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not avoid the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
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.
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.
