Under-inflation detection

System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.

The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high loading, high speed, long journey).

The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
For more information on the
Identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.

Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.

The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
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.

Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.

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.

Driving

3008-2_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016

It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
and after changing one or more wheels.

Reinitialisation

This is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.

Under-inflation alert

F Reduce speed immediately, avoid

excessive steering movements and sudden
braking.

F Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe

to do so.

F If you have a compressor, such as the one

in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold.

F If it is not possible to make this check

immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.

or
F In the event of a puncture, use the

temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).

The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.

The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.

Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Memorising speeds

This function allows speeds to be saved, which can then be offered to set the two systems: the speed limiter (to limit the speed of the vehicle) or the
cruise control (for a vehicle cruising speed).
You can memorise up to six speed settings for each of the two systems.
By default, some speed settings are already memorised.

As a safety measure, the driver must
only modify the speed settings when
stationary.

This function is accessible in the
Driving menu of the touch screen.

F Select the "Driving assistance" tab.
F Select "Speed settings".

F Select the "Speed limiter" or "Cruise

control" tab, depending on the system for
which you want to memorise new speed

Speed limit recognition

This system allows the speed limit detected by
the camera to be displayed in the instrument
panel.
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).

The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
It should be taken into account so that
you observe the speed limit.
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 assistance 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 cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed
of the vehicle to suit the weather and
traffic.
It is possible for the system to not
display the speed limit if it does not
detect a speed limit sign within a preset
period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention
on road signs.

To maintain correct operation of the
system: regularly clean the area in front
of the camera.

Principles

Using a camera at the top of the windscreen,
this system detects and reads speed limit and
end of speed limit signs.
The system also takes account of information
on speed limits from the navigation system
mapping.

It is necessary to update your
navigation mapping regularly in order to
receive accurate information on speed
limits from the system.

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 programmed speed.

The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may interfere with the
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-

ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

-

do not fit one mat on top of another.

Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed

F If you want to temporarily exceed the

programmed limit speed, press firmly on
the accelerator pedal, going beyond the
point of resistance.

The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.

Switching off

When the limit speed is exceeded but is not
due to action by the driver, there is an audible
signal to complete the alert.
Once the speed of the vehicle returns to
the programmed setting, the speed limiter
functions again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.

F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "0" position:

the display of information on the speed
limiter disappears.

engagement of third gear or higher,

-

with an automatic gearbox, the gear
selector in D mode or second gear
or higher in M mode.

Speed regulation remains active after
changing gear on vehicles fitted with a
manual gearbox and Stop & Start.

System which automatically maintains the cruising speed of the vehicle at a setting programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator
pedal.

The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to observe speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

236

3008-2_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016

As a precaution, it is recommended
that the cruise speed chosen be close
to the current speed of your vehicle, so
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle.

Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed

When descending a steep hill, the
cruise control system cannot prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.

When required (overtaking manoeuvre...), it is
possible to exceed the programmed speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is temporarily overridden
and the programmed speed setting flashes.

To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, the cruise control takes
over again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.

You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is
automatically paused.
To activate the system again, with the speed
of the vehicle above 25 mph (40 km/h), press
button 4.

Switching off

Driving

237

3008-2_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016

Only use the cruise control if the traffic
conditions will allow you to drive for a
certain time at a steady speed and at a
safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Do not activate the cruise control in
urban areas, in heavy traffic, on winding
or steep roads, on slippery or flooded
roads, or in conditions of poor visibility
(heavy rain, fog, falling snow...).
In some circumstances, it may not be
possible to maintain or reach the cruise
speed set: towing, vehicle heavily
loaded, steep climb.

The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may interfere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-

ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

-

never fit one mat on top of another.

Operating fault

Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the cruise
control system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

3008-2_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016

Dynamic cruise control with Stop function

The dynamic cruise control is a driving
aid that cannot in any circumstances
replace the observation of speed limits
and safe distances, nor the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
The driver must be ready to take back
control of their vehicle at any time,
using the brake or accelerator pedal as
appropriate.

This system provides two functions:
-

automatic regulation of the speed of the
vehicle to a value programmed by the driver,

-

automatic adjustment of the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.

It manages the acceleration and deceleration
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the
engine and the braking system.
To do this, the system has a radar, located in
the middle of the front bumper, with a maximum
range of 150 metres.

Principles

This system detects a vehicle running in front of
your vehicle, travelling in the same direction.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to maintain
a constant distance.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly, the
system slows, or even stops your vehicle, using
engine braking and the braking system.
If the braking system is used to decelerate the
vehicle, the brake lamps come on.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.

If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the dynamic cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.
