Driving

Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at a
constant speed and at an adequate safe
distance.
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, etc.).
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 the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly,

- do not fit one mat on top of another.

Dynamic cruise control
with Stop function

This system provides two functions:
-

automatic regulation of the
vehicle speed at the value
programmed by the driver,

-

automatic adjustment of the
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front, which
can cause even the complete
stoppage of your vehicle.

It manages the acceleration and deceleration
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the
engine and the braking system.
For this purpose, a radar is located in the front
bumper.

Principles

Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motorways, this system only
works on moving vehicles driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.

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 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 cruise control
allows your vehicle to temporarily approach
the vehicle in front to assist the overtaking
manoeuvre, though never exceeding the
programmed speed.

208

Driving

The brake lamps illuminate as soon as
the braking system is activated with
deceleration of the vehicle.

The dynamic cruise control system
is a driving aid that cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to observe
speed limits and safety 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.

Steering mounted controls

Driving

Switching on

The cruise control is switched on manually.
The speed of the vehicle must be between
18 and 110 mph (30 and 180 km/h).
Automatic gearbox: in D or M mode.

When the cruise control is operating, Stop
& Start is automatically deactivated.

12. Inter-vehicle distance setting.

13. Position of vehicle detected by the radar.

This information is visible in the instrument
panel in the "DRIVING" display mode.

F With the ignition on, turn the thumbwheel 1

to the "CRUISE" position: cruise control
mode is selected, but not started (grey).

F Vehicle moving, press one of the

buttons 2 or 3: the current speed of your
vehicle becomes the cruise speed setting.

The cruise control is activated (green).
By default, the inter-vehicle distance is set at
"Normal" (2 dashes).
Otherwise, the last setting made will be used
when switching on the system.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.

Pause

The dynamic cruise control can be paused
manually by:
- action by the driver:

• on button 4,
• on the brake pedal,
• on the electric parking brake control,
• when changing from D to N with an

automatic gearbox.

- or automatically, if operation of the ESC

system is triggered for reasons of safety.

Following braking of the vehicle bringing
it to a complete stop, the system holds
the vehicle stationary; the cruise control
is paused. The driver must press the
accelerator pedal to start off again, then
reactivate the system by exceeding
18 mph (30 km/h) and by pressing
button 2, 3 or 4.
If the driver takes no action following
this immobilisation, the electric parking
brake is applied automatically after a few
minutes.

210

Driving

When the cruise control is paused, it
can only be reactivated when all of the
safety conditions are met. The message
"Activation not possible, conditions
unsuitable" is displayed while reactivation
is not possible.
As a safety measure, wait until the current
speed reaches the speed set to reactivate
the function by pressing button 4.

Modification of the speed
setting

Modification from the current

speed

F By successive short presses on button 2 or 3,

to raise or lower the setting in steps of + or –
1 mph (km/h).

F By a maintained press on button 2 or 3, to

raise or lower the setting in steps of + or –
5 mph (5 km/h).

Take care: a prolonged press on
button 2 or 3 will cause a very quick
change in the speed of your vehicle.

Modification from the speed limit

sign recognition system

F The suggested speed is displayed in the

instrument panel.

F Make an initial press on button 5; a

message is displayed to confirm the
memorisation request.

F Press button 5 again to save the suggested

speed.

The speed displays immediately in the
instrument panel as the new speed setting.

For more information on Recognition of
speed limit signs and recommendation,
refer to the corresponding section.

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

Modification of the
programmed inter-vehicle
distance

Three threshold settings are suggested for the
inter-vehicle distance:
- "Distant" (3 dashes),
- "Normal" (2 dashes),
- "Close" (1 dash).

Engine running and cruise control on (green),
you can modify the speed setting.

211

6

Driving

This setting remains in memory, whatever the
state of the system and when the ignition is
switched off.

Engine running and cruise control selected
(grey), you can change the inter-vehicle
distance setting:
F Press button 6 to display the selection

screen for inter-vehicle distance,

F By repeatedly pressing button 6, scroll

through the predefined setting levels.

The selection screen closes after a few
seconds.
The change then takes effect.

Exceeding the programmed
setting

It is possible to exceed the speed setting
temporarily by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control no longer manages the
braking system during this period.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return
to the programmed speed.

If the programmed speed setting is exceeded,
the display of the speed setting disappears
and a message "Cruise control suspended"
is displayed until the accelerator pedal is
released.

Driving situations and
associated alerts

"Take back control of the vehicle"

The driver must take back control of the vehicle
by accelerating or braking, depending on the
circumstances.

+

"Take back control of the vehicle"

The system cannot manage the critical situation
alone (emergency braking of the target vehicle,
rapid insertion of another vehicle between the
two vehicles).
The driver must immediately take back
control of the vehicle.

or

"Activation not possible,
conditions unsuitable"

The system refuses to activate the cruise
control (speed outside the operating range,
winding road).

or

according to the inter-vehicle

distance selected and the actual

distance from the target vehicle

"Cruise control paused"
(for a few seconds)

The system has brought the vehicle to a
complete stop and is holding it immobilised.
The driver must accelerate to move off again.
The cruise control remains paused until the
driver reactivates it with the speed of the vehicle
above 18 mph (30 km/h).

214

Driving

Operating limits

The system cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.

Not detected by the radar:
- Pedestrians, cyclists, animals.
- Stationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown,

etc.).

- Vehicles crossing the road lanes.
- Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.

When the driver must suspend the cruise
control system:
- Vehicles in a bend.
- When approaching a roundabout.
- When following a narrow vehicle.
Reactivate cruise control when conditions
permit.

Cases where the driver is prompted to take
control back immediately:
- Excessively sharp deceleration of the

vehicle in front of you.

- When a vehicle sharply cuts in between

your vehicle and the one in front.

The system must not be activated:
- When the "space-saver" spare wheel is

being used (depending on version).

- When towing.

Be particularly careful:
- When motorcycles are present and

when there are vehicles staggered
onto the traffic lane.

- When you enter a tunnel or cross a

bridge.

The cruise control operates by day and
night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that
you always keep a safe distance from
vehicles ahead, according to the driving
conditions, the weather and the road
surface.
Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at a
constant speed and keeping an adequate
safety distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, when
there are snowfalls, if the front bumper is
damaged, or when the brake lamps have
failed.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be possible for the speed setting to be
maintained or even attained: loaded
vehicle, ascending a steep hill, etc.

215

6

Driving

The system is not intended for the
following situations:
- if the front end of the vehicle has

been modified (addition of long-range
headlamps, painting of the front
bumper),

- driving on a racing circuit,
- running on a rolling stand,
- use of snow chains, non-slip covers or

studded tyres.

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 mats are secured correctly,
- never place one mat on top of another.

Operating fault

In the event of a fault with the cruise
control, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp
and the display of a message in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal.

Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Operation of the radar, located in the
front bumper, may be impaired by the
accumulation of dirt (dust, mud, etc.) or in
certain weather conditions (snow, frost,
etc.).
Clean the front bumper regularly.
If the front bumper is to be repainted or
retouched, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could interfere with the operation of
the radar.

Distance alert and Active
Safety Brake

This system is a driving aid that includes three
functions:
- Distance alert (alert if there is a risk of

collision),

- Intelligent emergency braking assistance,
- Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency

braking).

Distance alert: it warns the driver if their
vehicle is at risk of collision with the vehicle in
front or a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Intelligent emergency braking assistance:
it completes the braking action taken by the
driver if this is inadequate.
Active Safety Brake: it intervenes following
the alert if the driver does not react quickly
enough and does not operate the vehicle's
brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes
towards avoiding a collision or limiting
its severity by reducing the speed of your
vehicle.

216

Driving

Activation and operating
conditions

The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen, and depending on the version,
a radar located in the front bumpers.

The system is active from about 4 mph (7 km/h)
and is deactivated below about 3 mph (5 km/h).
It takes account of:
- vehicles running in the same direction or

stationary,

- pedestrians in the traffic lane (bicycles,

motorcycles, animals and objects on the
road are not necessarily detected).

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.
This system does not avoid the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.

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 sense of
deceleration.

Operating limits

In the following cases, deactivating the
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is
recommended:
- when towing a trailer,
- when carrying long objects on roof bars or a

roof rack,

- before using an automatic car wash, with

the engine running,

- before placing the vehicle on a rolling stand

in a workshop,

- when the vehicle is being towed, with the

engine running,

- when a "space-saver" type spare wheel is

fitted (depending on version),

It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay alert and be
prepared to react at any time to avoid an
accident.

Distance alert

Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, different levels of alert can be
triggered and displayed in the instrument panel.

Level 1: visual alert only, signalling
to you that the vehicle in front is very
close.
The message "Vehicle close" is
displayed.

This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front.

- following impact damage to the windscreen

close to the detection camera,

- if the front bumper has been damaged

(version with radar),

- if the brake lamps are not working.

217

6

Driving

This level of alert is based on the time before
collision. It takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the
one in front, the environmental conditions, the
operation of the vehicle (cornering, pedals
pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best
moment.

Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the first
level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: alert level 1 is never displayed
when the "Close" trigger threshold has
been selected.

Modifying the alert trigger
threshold

This threshold determines how you wish to be
warned of the presence of a vehicle moving
or stationary in front of you, or a pedestrian
present in your traffic lane.
The current threshold can be modified via the
vehicle configuration menu.
You can select one of three predefined
thresholds:
- "Distant",
- "Normal",
- "Close".
The last threshold selected is kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.

Intelligent emergency
braking assistance

If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid
a collision, this system will supplement the
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you
press the brake pedal.

Active Safety Brake

If the camera and/or radar have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes once the function is acting
on the vehicle's brakes.

Level 2: visual and audible alert,
warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message "Brake!" is displayed.

This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or
avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle where
the driver fails to react.
Using a camera and, depending on the version,
radar, this function acts on the vehicle's braking
system.

218

Driving

Important: if operation of the
automatic emergency braking is
triggered, you should take back
control of your vehicle and brake
with the pedal to add to or finish the
automatic braking action.

The driver can take back control of the vehicle
at any time by sharply turning the steering
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.

The point at which braking is triggered
may be adjusted depending on the driving
actions of the driver, such as movement
of the steering wheel or actions at the
accelerator pedal.

Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for
1 to 2 seconds.

With a manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, the
engine may stall.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event
of automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, keep
the brake pedal pressed down to prevent
the vehicle from starting off again.

Specific conditions for operation

The vehicle's speed must be between 3 mph
and 53 mph (5 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions
with camera alone) or 85 mph (140 km/h)
(versions with camera and radar) when a
moving vehicle is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stopped vehicle is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 37 mph
(60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
The ESC system must not be defective.
The DCS system must not be deactivated.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required.

After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.

Deactivation / Activation

By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
The system can be deactivated or activated via
the vehicle settings menu.

Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message.

Malfunction

In the event of a fault with the
system, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.

Check that the sensors (camera and radar) are
not covered by dirt, mud, frost, snow, etc.
If the fault persists, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.

219

6

Driving

The camera may be disrupted or not work
in the following situations:
- poor visibility (inadequate street

lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense
fog, etc.),

- dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming

vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),

- obstruction of the camera or radar

(mud, frost, snow, etc.).

In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.

Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
Clean the front bumper, especially around
the radar, removing mud, snow, etc.

If the front bumper is to be repainted or
re-touched, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could interfere with the operation of
the radar.

Fatigue detection system

It is recommended that you take a break as
soon as you feel tired or at least every two
hours.
Depending on version, the function either
has the "Driving time warning" only, or this
combined with the "Driver inattention alert".

The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
Do not take the wheel if you are tired.

Activation / Deactivation

The system is activated or deactivated via the
vehicle configuration menu.
For more information on the menu, refer to the
part covering your screen in the "Dashboard
instruments" section.

The state of the system stays in memory when
the ignition is switched off.

220

Driving

Driving time warning

The system triggers an alert once it
detects that the driver has not taken
a break after two hours of driving at
a speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).

The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
- engine running, the vehicle has been

stationary for more than 15 minutes,

- the ignition has been switched off for a few

minutes,

- the driver's seat belt is unfastened and their

door is open.

As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 40 mph (65 km/h), the system goes
into standby.
The driving time is counted again once the
speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).

Driver inattention alert

Depending on version, the "Driving time
warning" may be combined with the "Driver
inattention alert".

After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message "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.

This alert is issued via the display of a
message encouraging you 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.

Using a camera placed at the top
of the windscreen, the system
assesses the driver's level of
vigilance by identifying variations
in trajectory compared to the lane
markings.

This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h)).

When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain fatigue or
inattention threshold on the part of the driver, it
triggers the first level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
"Take care!", accompanied by an audible
signal.

221

6

Driving

The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
working:
- poor visibility (inadequate lighting of

the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),

- dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming

vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),

- windscreen area located in front of the

camera: dirty, misted up, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a sticker,

- lane markings absent, worn, hidden

(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,
etc.),

- close to the vehicle ahead (lane

markings not detected),

- roads that are narrow, winding, etc.

Lane Departure Warning
System

System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane
markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops
and the speed is higher than 37 mph (60 km/h),
triggers a warning if there is an unexpected
change of direction.
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.

Activation / Deactivation

This function cannot be deactivated on
versions without a touch screen.

Activation and deactivation of the
system is done in the Vehicle /
Driving menu of the touch screen.

Select the "Driving functions" then the "Lane
departure warning system" tab.

The system state remains in memory when the
ignition is switched off.

Detection

If an unexpected change of direction
is detected, you are alerted by
this warning lamp flashing in the
instrument panel and an audible
signal.

No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is active and for approximately
20 seconds after the direction indicator is
switched off.

This system is a driving aid which cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.

222

Driving

Operating fault

If a fault occurs, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Active Lane Departure
Warning System

Using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the
ground, this system corrects the trajectory of
the vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects
a risk of involuntary crossing of a line.
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.

Conditions for operation

The speed of the vehicle must be between
40 and 110 mph (65 and 180 km/h).
The carriageway must have at least one lane
marking (solid or broken) on the ground.
The driver must hold the wheel with both
hands.
The change of trajectory is not accompanied by
operation of the direction indicators.
The ESC system must be activated.

This system is a driving aid which cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver should remain in control of the
vehicle in all circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when
there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane it is being driven
on. It does not manage the safe driving
distance, the speed of the vehicle or the
brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel
with both hands in a way that allows
control to be taken back in circumstances
where the system is not able to intervene
(if lane markings disappear, for example).
It is necessary to observe the driving
regulations and take a break every two
hours.

Operation

Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected, it makes the correction to the
trajectory required to return the vehicle to its
initial path.
The driver will then notice a turning movement
of the steering wheel.

This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.

The detection may be impeded:
- if the markings on the road are worn,
- if there is little contrast between the

markings on the road and the road
surface,

- if the windscreen is dirty,
- in certain weather conditions: fog,

heavy rain, snow, shade, bright
sunlight or direct exposure to the sun
(low sun, leaving a tunnel, etc.).
