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.
 
 
In the case of suggested maximum speeds, the 
first time the vehicle exceeds the suggested 
speed by more than 3 mph (5
  km/h) (e.g. 59 
mph (95
  km/h)), the speed is displayed flashing 
for 10 seconds.
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
 yre repaired using the temporary puncture 
repair kit.
–
 
Y
 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.
–
 
Obsolete or incorrect maps.
Recommendation 
 
In addition to Speed Limit Recognition and 
Recommendation, the driver can select the 
speed displayed as a speed setting for the speed 
limiter or cruise control using the speed limiter or 
cruise control memorisation button.
If rain is detected, the system will propose to the 
driver a speed setting lower than the speed read/
obtained from the mapping in order to adapt to 
the weather conditions (example: on a motorway, 
the proposed speed will be 68   mph (110   km/h) 
instead of 81
  mph (130   km/h).

the screen.
Malfunction 
 
Dashes are displayed (flashing, initially, then 
fixed) in the event of a cruise control system 
malfunction.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Drive Assist  Plus
Only available on versions with the EAT8 
automatic gearbox and gear selector.
This system automatically adjusts the speed and 
corrects the trajectory, using the Adaptive Cruise 
Control with Stop
  &   Go function in conjunction 
with the Lane Positioning Assist.
These two functions must be activated and in 
operation.
This system is especially suitable for driving on 
motorways and main roads.
For more information on  Adaptive Cruise 
Control and Lane Positioning Assist, refer to 
the corresponding sections.
The system assists the driver by acting  on the steering, acceleration and braking, 
within the limits of the laws of physics and the 
capabilities of the vehicle. Certain road 
infrastructure elements or vehicles present on 
the road may not be properly seen or may be 
poorly interpreted by the camera and radar, 
resulting in an unexpected change in 
direction, a lack of steering correction and/or 
inappropriate management of acceleration or 
braking.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids  and to 
Cruise control - particular recommendations.
This system automatically maintains the speed 
of your vehicle at a value which you set (speed 
setting), while keeping a safe distance from the 
vehicle in front (target vehicle), and which has 
been set beforehand by the driver. The system 
automatically manages the acceleration and 
deceleration of the vehicle.
With the Stop
  &   Go function, the system 
manages the braking until the vehicle comes to a 
complete stop and the restarting of the vehicle.
 
 
To do so, it has a camera located at the top of 
the windscreen and, depending on version, a 
radar located in the front bumper.
Primarily designed for driving on main 
roads and motorways, this system only 
works with moving vehicles driving in the 
same direction as your vehicle.
If the driver operates a direction indicator 
to overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise 
control allows the vehicle to temporarily 
approach the vehicle in front to assist the   
Page 118 of 260

Driving
 
Using a camera located at the top of the 
windscreen, the system identifies lane markings 
and steers the vehicle inside this lane to keep it 
in the lateral position chosen by the driver.
This function is primarily suitable for driving on 
motorways and main roads.
Conditions for operation
– Adaptive Cruise Control active.
–  T raffic lane marked out by lines on both sides.
–
 
ESC system operational.
–
 
ASR system activated.
–
 
No trailer detected.
–
 
No 'space-saver' spare wheel in use.
–
 
V
 ehicle not subject to strong lateral g-forces.
–
 
Direction indicators not activated.
Activation/Deactivation 
 
 
 
► With the  Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & 
Go function activated, press this button.
The action is confirmed by:
–
 
The indicator lamp in the button lighting up 
green.
–
 
The following symbol being displayed on the 
instrument panel.
The colour of the symbol on the instrument panel 
depends on the operating status of the system:
(grey colour)
One or more operating conditions is not 
met; the system is paused.
(green colour)
All operating conditions are met; the 
system is active.
(orange colour)
System malfunction.
If the driver no longer wishes to use the system 
for a while, they can deactivate it by pressing the 
button again.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off and the 
symbol disappears from the instrument panel.
The system status is saved when the  ignition is switched off.
Cruise control
The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.
When cruise control is activated, the symbol is 
displayed in green: by small steering actions, 
the system directs 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.
The driver can change the position of the vehicle 
at any time, by turning the steering wheel. 
When the driver feels that the vehicle’s position 
is appropriate, whilst keeping hands on the 
steering wheel, they must release the pressure 
to let the system resume control of the steering, 
but the vehicle will not be automatically centred 
within the lane.
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 results in cruise 
control being 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.

Malfunction
A system malfunction is indicated  by the Service warning lamp 
coming on and this (orange) symbol, 
accompanied by an alert message and an 
audible signal.
Active Lane Keeping  Assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Using a camera located at the top of the 
windscreen to identify lane markings on the road 
and at the edges of the road (depending on 
version), the system corrects the trajectory of the 
vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects a risk 
of unintentionally crossing a line or hard shoulder 
(depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motorways 
and main roads.
 
 
Conditions for operation
– Vehicle speed between 40 and 112 mph (65 
and 180   km/h).
–
 
Road marked with a central dividing line.
–
 
Steering wheel held in both hands.
–
 
Direction indicators not activated.
–
 
ESC system activated and operational.
The system helps the driver only if there is a risk of the vehicle unintentionally 
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It 
does not manage the safe driving distance, 
vehicle speed or brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel with 
both hands in a way that allows control to 
be maintained in circumstances where the 
system is not able to intervene (for example, if 
the central dividing line disappears).
Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle 
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings 
detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border), it 
makes the necessary trajectory correction to 
return the vehicle to its initial path.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the 
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during  trajectory correction.
The driver can prevent the correction by keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during 
an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).
The correction is interrupted immediately if 
the direction indicators are operated.
   
Page 122 of 260

120
Driving
 
While the direction indicators are on and for 
a few seconds after switching them off, the system considers that any change of trajectory is 
intentional and no correction is triggered during 
this period.
However, with the Blind Spot Monitoring System 
system activated, if the driver starts changing 
lanes and another vehicle is detected in the 
vehicle's blind spot, the system will correct the 
trajectory even though the direction indicators 
are on.
For more information on the 
Blind Spot 
Monitoring System , refer to the corresponding 
section.
If the system detects that the driver is not 
holding the wheel firmly enough during 
an automatic correction of trajectory, it 
interrupts the correction. An alert is triggered 
to encourage the driver to take back control of 
the vehicle.

must provide additional trajectory adjustment.
–  If the steering wheel is not held properly , an audible 
warning sounds, accompanied by a message, until 
the trajectory correction is completed or the driver has 
grasped the steering wheel correctly.
The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple 
corrections are performed in quick succession. The 
warning will become continuous, persisting until the driver 
responds.
Operating limits
The system goes into standby automatically in 
the following cases: –
 
ESC deactivated or operation triggered,
–
  speed below 40 mph (65   km/h) or greater than 
112 mph (180   km/h),–

Driving
Take care not to cover the warning zone in 
the door mirrors or the detection zones on the 
front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels 
or other objects; they may hamper correct 
operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot Monitoring System
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door 
mirror on the side in question, a correction of 
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross 
a lane marking with the direction indicator 
activated, to help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active 
Lane Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot 
Monitoring System.
These two functions must be activated and in 
operation.
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40 
and 87
  mph (65 and 140   km/h).
These functions are especially suitable for 
driving on motorways and main roads.
For more information on the  Active Lane 
Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot 
Monitoring System , refer to the corresponding 
sections.
Active Safety Brake  with Distance Alert and 
Intelligent emergency 
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
This system:
–
 warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of 
collision with the vehicle in front, a pedestrian or
, 
depending on version, a cyclist.
–
 
reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a 
collision or limit its severity
.
The system also takes motorcyclists and animals into account; however, animals 
below 0.5
  m tall and objects on the road are 
not necessarily detected.
This system is comprised of three functions:
–
 
Distance Alert.
–
 
Intelligent emergency braking assistance.
–
 
Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency 
braking).
 
 
The vehicle has a multifunctional camera located 
at the top of the windscreen and, depending on 
version, a radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not avoid the need for  vigilance on the part of the driver.
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.
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 slight 
sensation of deceleration.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated 
at every engine start.
It is set via the  Driving   / Vehicle 
touch screen menu.
