Driving
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away
from the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims 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.
Steering wheel with
hands-on detection
(with Drive Assist 2.0)
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
The steering wheel is equipped with a hands-on
detection system to avoid distraction on the part
of the driver.
It is prohibited to cover or attach anything to the
steering wheel.
The driver must always check the surroundings of the vehicle and
supervise the whole manoeuvre.
Any use of a system built into
Drive Assist
2.0

must remain under the driver’s vigilance.
The system also detects the presence of
hands when using the Lane Positioning assist
system with Drive Assist Plus.
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly if:
–

the steering wheel is covered by some
protection.
–


the driver wears thick gloves (e.g.
ski
gloves).
In the event of improper detection of hands
on the steering wheel, Drive Assist 2.0 is
not activated or is deactivated after a few
seconds.
Installation of mechanical anti-theft
devices on the steering wheel is
prohibited - risk of damage!
Shortcuts for driving aids
The full list of available driving aids can be found
in the Functions tab.
Driving aids can be accessed directly to quickly
activate/deactivate them.
By default, driving aids are already stored in the
Shortcuts tab (e.g.

assist).
Other driving aids can be added or deleted from
this tab.
It is configured in the ADAS>Functions
touch screen application.
► Press the button corresponding to the
driving assistance concerned:
•

Navigation mapping should be regularly
updated 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 to ensure
you observe the speed limit.
For the system to work properly when
changing countries, the speed unit of the
instrument panel must match that of the
country you are driving in.
Automatic sign reading is a driving aid system and does not always display the
correct speed limits.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over those displayed 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 on the
instrument panel is updated when passing
a speed limit sign intended for cars (light
vehicles).
Activation/Deactivation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.

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 and flashes 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:
–

Atmospheric pollution.
–

Towing.
–

Driving with a space-saver type spare wheel
or snow chains fitted.
–


T

repair kit.
–

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.
Speed setting
recommendations
The driver can select the speed displayed by the
Road signs recognition system as the speed
setting for the speed limiter, cruise control or
adaptive cruise control using the OK button.
If rain is detected, the system proposes a speed
setting to the driver which is lower than the
speed read/sent from the mapping system in
order to adapt to the weather conditions (e.g.
on
motorways, the proposed speed is 68 mph (110
km/h) instead of 81 mph (130 km/h).
For more information on the Speed
limiter, Cruise control or Adaptive
cruise control, refer to the corresponding
sections.
Speed setting advance recommendations
With Drive Assist 2.0 activated, the system
detects the next speed limit sign, displays it in
the background and proposes this new speed as
the speed setting.
Once memorised:
–

If the speed setting is lower than the previous
one, the vehicle slows down to reach this new
speed when it gets to the sign.
–


If the speed setting is higher than the previous
one, the vehicle speeds up to reach this new
speed when it passes the sign. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Depending on the road conditions, several
speeds may be displayed.

Driving
When the speed setting remains below
the vehicle's speed for a prolonged
period of time, an audible warning is emitted.
Adjusting the speed setting
You do not have to switch the speed limiter on in
order to set the speed.
To change the speed setting using the vehicle’s
current speed:
►

For steps of +/- 1 mph (1 km/h), make
successive short presses upwards/downwards
on

3 to increase/decrease.
►

For steps of +/- 5 mph (5
km/h), press and
hold upwards/downwards on 3 to increase/
decrease.
When the function is activated, the limit
speed value can be changed using the speed
suggested by the Road signs recognition
function displayed on the instrument panel:
–

When passing the sign:
►


Press
4-OK to save the suggested speed.
This value is then immediately shown as the new
speed setting on the instrument panel.
–

After passing the sign:
►


Press
4-OK. The message "OK?" is
displayed to confirm the request to save.
►

Press
4-OK again to save the suggested
speed. The new speed setting value is displayed
on the instrument panel.
Temporarily exceeding the
speed setting
► Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
The speed limiter is temporarily deactivated and
the displayed speed setting flashes.
►

Release the accelerator pedal to return to
below the speed setting.
When exceeding the speed is not due to the
driver's action (e.g.

in case of a steep slope), an
audible signal is triggered immediately.
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.
If necessary, apply the brakes to control your
vehicle’s speed.
When the vehicle speed returns to the speed
setting level, the speed limiter operates again:
the speed setting display becomes fixed again.
Off
► Press 1-LIMIT: the speed limiter information
display disappears.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, dashes are
displayed flashing and then fixed (orange)
instead of the speed setting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Cruise control - Specific
recommendations
The cruise control function does not
guarantee compliance with the maximum
authorised speed and the safety distance
between vehicles, the driver remains
responsible for their driving.
In the interest of public safety, only use cruise
control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles
to drive at a steady speed and maintain an
adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant while cruise control is
activated. If you press and hold one of the
speed setting modification buttons, your
vehicle may change speed very abruptly.
When descending a steep hill , the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the vehicle speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained.
Exceeding the programmed speed
setting
You can temporarily exceed the speed
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the
programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release the
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is
reached again, the displayed speed stops
flashing). CarM an uals 2 .c o m
