Driving
Crossing road with a pedestrian

The system may operate when the vehicle
is turning left or right and detects a crossing
pedestrian if:
–
The pedestrian is crossing in front of the
vehicle.
–


The pedestrian can clearly be detected by the
sensors.
–


The scenery is detectable by the sensors (e.g.
brightness, contrast vs background).
–


The vehicle speed is between 3 and 15
mph
(5 and 25
km/h).
Malfunction
This warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel, if the automatic braking
system is reduced or degraded.
This is a normal behavior, which does not
request the support of a qualified workshop.
This may be caused by a reduced visibility
(e.g.

rain, fog, snow, blinding by low sun) or by
a real sensor blockage. In this case, stop the
vehicle and verify if the front camera or the front
radar is covered by dirt, snow, ice or anything
preventing the sensing.
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If these warning lamps come on
after the engine has been switched
off and then restarted, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
These warning lamps light up on the instrument panel and/or in the
warning lamp display for seat belts and front
passenger airbag to indicate that the driver's
and/or front passenger's seat belt is not fastened
(depending on version). The automatic braking
system is deactivated until the seat belts are
fastened.
Distraction detection
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
The function comprises the "Driver Attention
Warning" system combined with the "Driver
Attention Warning by Camera" system.
These systems are in no way designed to keep the driver awake or to prevent
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Activation/Deactivation
By default, the function is automatically activated
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via the ADAS
touch screen application.
or
Direct access to the Shortcuts for driving aids .
Driver Attention Warning
The system triggers an alert when it
detects that the driver has not taken a
break after two hours of driving at a speed above
43 mph (70
km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message
encouraging the driver to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
–

With the engine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
–


The ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Driving
6– The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops below 43 mph (70 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once
the speed reaches above 43
mph (70 km/h).
Driver Attention Warning by
Camera


The system assesses the driver's level of alertness, fatigue and distraction by
identifying trajectory changes in relation to the
lane markings.
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 43 mph (70
km/h)).
At a first alert level, the driver is warned by
the message "Caution!", accompanied by an
audible signal.
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers
a further alert with the message " Driving at
risk: Take a break", accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
surface or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's level of
vigilance.
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–

lane markings absent, worn, hidden
(e.g.

snow, mud, dead leaves) or multiple
(roadworks).
–

close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings
not detected).
–


roads that are narrow
, winding.
Lane keeping assist
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
The system corrects the vehicle's trajectory by
alerting the driver as soon as it detects a risk of
involuntary lane departure or crossing of a verge
or hard shoulder (depending on version).
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen, identifying the
lane markings on the ground and the side of the
road (depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on
motorways and main roads.


Operating conditions
– Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70
and 180 km/h).
–

Road marked with a central dividing line.
–


Steering wheel held with both hands.
–


Direction indicators off upon activation of the
system.
–


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 braking.
The driver must hold the steering wheel with
both hands so that they can maintain control
when
the conditions no longer allow the
system to intervene (e.g.
in the event that CarM an uals 2 .c o m

132
Driving
the central dividing line marking on the road
surface disappears).
Operation
As soon as the system identifies a risk of
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected on the ground or a lane boundary
(e.g. grass verge), it performs the trajectory correction necessary to restore the vehicle to its
original lane.
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 firmly holding the steering wheel
(e.g.
during an emergency manoeuvre).
The correction is interrupted immediately if
the direction indicators are operated.
While the direction indicators are activated and
for a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that a change of trajectory is
intentional and no correction is triggered during
this period.

Driving
6The system may be temporarily disturbed by certain weather conditions (e.g. heavy
rain, hail or extreme temperature changes).
In particular, driving on a wet road or going
from a dry to a wet area can cause false
alerts (e.g.
presence of a cloud of water
droplets in the blind spot interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the

radars are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors, or the detection zones on
the rear bumper, with adhesive labels or
other objects; they may hamper the correct
operation of the system.
Parking sensors
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system detects and signals the proximity of
obstacles (e.g.
pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier)
using sensors located in the bumper.
Rear parking sensors
► Engage reverse gear to start the system
(confirmed by an audible signal).
The system is switched off when reverse gear is
disengaged.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of
the steering wheel.


Depending on version, in the example shown,
only the obstacles present in the shaded area
will be signalled by the audible assistance.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
Adjusting the audible signalPressing this button opens the
window for adjusting the volume
of the audible signal.
Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen whose location
represents the distance between the obstacle
and the vehicle (white: more distant, orange:
close, red: very close). CarM an uals 2 .c o m
