Safety
General safety
recommendations
Do not remove the labels attached in
different places on your vehicle. They
include safety warnings as well as
identification information for the vehicle.
Depending on country regulations,
certain safety equipment may be
mandatory: high visibility safety vests,
warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, mud
flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.
Installing electrical accessories
The fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories not approved by PEUGEOT may
cause excessive current consumption and
faults and failures with the electrical system
of your vehicle. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
for information on the range of approved
accessories.
As a safety measure, access to the
diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's
electronic systems, is reserved strictly for
PEUGEOT dealers or qualified workshops,
equipped with the special tools required (risk
of malfunctions of the vehicle's electronic
systems that could cause breakdowns or
serious accidents). The Manufacturer cannot
be held responsible if this advice is not
followed.
Any modification or adaptation not intended
or authorised by PEUGEOT or carried out
without meeting the technical requirements
defined by the Manufacturer will result in the
suspension of the commercial warranty.
Installation of accessory radio
communication transmitters
Before installing a radio communication
transmitter with an external aerial, you must
without fail contact a PEUGEOT dealer for
the specification of transmitters which can
be fitted (frequency, maximum power, aerial
position, specific installation requirements), in
line with the UN ECE Regulation
10.
Declarations of conformity for radio
equipment
The relevant certificates are available on the
brand website:

Hazard warning lamps



► Pressing this button causes all the direction
indicators to flash.
They can work with the ignition switched off.
Automatic operation of hazard warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, depending on
the rate of deceleration, the hazard warning
lamps come on automatically. They switch off
automatically when you next accelerate.

136
Driving
– Direction indicators off upon activation of the
system.
Regulation
The driver must hold the steering wheel
properly.
When regulation is activated, the symbols are
displayed in green: with small steering inputs,
the system steers 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.
At any time, the driver can change the position of
the vehicle by intervening on the steering wheel
and maintaining the position until the system has
taken it into account. If the chosen position is too
off-centre, an automatic re-centering manoeuvre
can occur. The system adjusts to the newly
defined position.
Pausing/Suspending the
system
The driver must act promptly if they believe that the traffic conditions or the
state of the road surface require their
intervention, by moving the steering wheel to
temporarily suspend system operation. Any
action on the brake pedal that causes the
Adaptive cruise control
system to be paused
will also cause the system to be paused.
If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough, it
triggers a series of gradual alerts and then
deactivates itself if there is no response from
the driver.
If the function is suspended due to the
prolonged release of the force holding
the steering wheel, the system must be
reactivated by pressing the ASSIST button
again.
Automatic suspension
Suspension of the system is accompanied by a
specific audible signal.

until cruise control is reactivated) or accelerator

depressed).
–
