Driving
6It takes into account the last values stored
during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore
essential that the tyre pressure is correct during
the operation. This operation is the driver’s
responsibility.
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel), especially before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
–

worsens road-holding.
–


lengthens braking distances.
–


causes premature wear of the tyres.
–


increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done monthly
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.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
►

Reduce speed immediately
, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►

Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected may not always cause visible deformation of the
tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►

Using a compressor
, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of all four tyres when cold.
►

If it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately

, drive carefully at reduced speed.
►

In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
Driving too slowly may not ensure
optimum monitoring.
The alert is not immediately triggered in the
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre
blow-out. This is because analysis of the
values read by the wheel's speed sensors
can take several minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below
25

mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty
driving mode.
The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
► The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,
and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
With the vehicle stationary, the system
can be reinitialised in the
Settings>Vehicle touch screen application.
►

Then select
Safety > Tire Pressure Setup.

Driving
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).
Information displayed on
the instrument panel


1. Detected speed limit indication
or
2. End of speed limit indication


The system is active but is not detecting speed
limit information.


On detecting speed limit information, the system
displays the value, accompanied by an audible
signal.


For a suggested maximum speed, when the
vehicle exceeds it, the speed is displayed and
flashes for 3
seconds.


If the vehicle continues to exceed it, the
speed is displayed and flashes for 8 seconds,
accompanied by an audible signal.
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

oung drivers.
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.
Settings
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the overspeed alert sound is
automatically activated at every engine start.
You can activate/deactivate the overspeed alert and the speed limit
change sound.
or
Direct access to the Shortcuts for driving aids .
The system cannot be deactivated.
The speed limit change sound is saved
when the ignition is switched off.
In the event of the overspeed alert sound
deactivation, this warning lamp lights up a
few seconds on the instrument panel.
Country selection
The list of detected road signs can be updated
by selecting a specific country.
► In the ADAS touch screen application,
select Functions >Road Signs>Country
setting.
►

In the
Select Country list, select the desired
country.

Driving
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).
Operating limits
Never use the system in the following
situations:
–

In an urban area with the risk of
pedestrians crossing the road.
–


In heavy traffic (except versions with the
Stop

& Go function).
–

On winding or steep roads.
–


On slippery or flooded roads.
– In poor weather conditions.
– In the event of restricted visibility for the
driver
.
–

Driving on a speed circuit.
–


Driving on a rolling road.
–


When using a ‘space-saver
’ type spare
wheel.
–

When using snow chains or non-slip
covers.
Programmable cruise
control
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and the
Specific recommendations on cruise
control.
This system automatically maintains the vehicle’s speed at the value programmed
by the driver (speed setting), without the use of
the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40

km/h).
The mode
D or second gear or higher in mode
M

of the automatic gearbox must be engaged.
Cruise control remains active after
changing gear on engines fitted with the
Stop & Start function.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
speed setting.
Steering-mounted control

1. ON (CRUISE position)/OFF
2. Activate cruise control at the current speed/
decrease speed setting
3. Activate cruise control at the current speed/
increase speed setting
4. Pause/resume cruise control with the speed
setting previously saved
5. Use the speed suggested by the Road signs
recognition function ( MEM display)
For more information on the Road signs
recognition , refer to the corresponding section.

130
Driving
Operating conditions and
limits
Vehicle moving forward without trailer.
Brake system operational.
ASR system activated.
Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on roads with no or low
curvature.
This warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel without any additional
message, to indicate that the automatic braking
system is not available.
This is a normal behavior indicating that a
condition is not fulfilled and which does not
request the support of a workshop.
In any situations with ignition on where automatic
braking presents a risk, deactivating the system
via the driving aids touch screen application is
recommended, for instance:
–

T

owing a trailer (particularly a trailer without its
own braking system).
–

Carrying long objects on roof bars.
–


Driving with snow chains.
–


Using an automatic car wash.
–


Performing any maintenance (e.g.
changing a
wheel, working inside the engine compartment).
–

Placing the vehicle on a rolling bench in a
workshop.
–


T

owing the vehicle.
–

Following a damage of the windscreen close
to the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated when the use of certain types of
"space-saver" spare wheel (smaller diameter)
is detected, or if a fault with the brake pedal
switch or at least two brake lamps is detected.
Following a severe crash (e.g.
with airbag
deployment), the system is automatically
deactivated.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In case the detection is degraded or
temporarily unavailable by environment
conditions, then a driver indication is not
displayed (because a driver action is not
requested).
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The driver must not overload the vehicle (keep within the GVW limit and load
height limits for roof bars).
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver if there is a risk
of collision with the preceding vehicle, or with a
pedestrian or cyclist.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
The trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
► In the ADAS touch screen application,
select Functions>Automatic Braking
System .
►

Select one of the 3 preset
thresholds:

"Far", "Medium" or "Near".
The selected threshold is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the collision risk detected by the
system and the alert trigger threshold chosen
by the driver, different levels of alert may be
triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.
The system takes into account the vehicle
dynamics, the difference speed of the own
vehicle and the object identified for the
collision risk, and the operation of the vehicle
(e.g.
actions on the pedals, steering wheel) to
trigger the alert at the most relevant moment.
(orange)
Level 1: visual alert only, warning that the
preceding vehicle is very close.
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.
(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning
that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake! " is displayed.
Level 3: a micro-braking may be given,
confirming the risk of collision (optional).

Practical information
7Very cold climate screen
(Depending on country of sale)
This removable device prevents the
accumulation of snow around the radiator
cooling fan.
In case of difficulty with installation/
removal
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Before any operation, ensure that the
engine is off and the cooling fan has
stopped.
It is essential to remove them when:
– the outside temperature exceeds
10°C.
–

recovery is in progress.
–


the speed is above 75 mph (120
km/h).
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Only use chains that have been designed to be
fitted to the type of wheel on the vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size 215/55 R17 9 mm
235/45 R18 Cannot be fitted with
chains
(with standard chains)
235/40 R19 Cannot be fitted with chains
(with standard chains)
245/35 R20 Cannot be fitted with
chains
(with standard chains)
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
►

Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
► Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer .
►

Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31

mph (50 km/h).
►

Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
The use of snow chains is only
authorised on the front wheels.
The driving mode selector must be on the
4WD position (depending on version).
Energy economy mode
This system manages the duration of use of
certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient
level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine and for a maximum
cumulative period of around 30 minutes, you can
continue to use functions such as the audio and
