Cruise control - Specific
recommendations
The cruise control function does not guarantee compliance with the maximum
authorised speed and the safety distance
between vehicles, the driver remains
responsible for their driving.
In the interest of public safety, only use cruise
control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles
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 snow chains, non-slip covers
or studded tyres.
Cruise control
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and the
Cruise control - particular
recommendations.
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).
With a manual gearbox, third gear or higher must
be engaged.
With an automatic gearbox, mode

D
or second
gear or higher in mode

M
must be engaged.
Cruise control remains active after
changing gear on engines fitted with a
manual gearbox and Stop & Start.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
speed setting.

malfunction.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Drive Assist Plus
Only available on versions with EAT8 automatic
gearbox.
This system automatically adjusts the speed
and corrects the trajectory of the vehicle, using
Adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go function in
conjunction with Lane Positioning Assist.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
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 physical limits
and capacities of the
vehicle. Certain road infrastructure elements
or vehicles in the surroundings 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.
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motorways, this system only
works with moving vehicles driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.
Adaptive cruise control
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and the
Cruise control - Specific
recommendations.
This system automatically maintains the vehicle
speed at a value set by the driver (speed
setting), while respecting a safety distance from
the vehicle in front (target vehicle) previously set
by the driver. The system automatically manages
the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle.
With a manual gearbox, the system slows the
vehicle down as far as a speed of 19 mph (30
km/h).
With the Stop function (with the EAT6 automatic
gearbox), the system manages braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop.
With the Stop & Go function (with the EAT8
automatic gearbox), the system manages
braking until the vehicle comes to a complete
stop and restarts the vehicle.
The brake lamps come on if the vehicle is slowed down by the system.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.


To do this, the system uses a camera fitted at
the top of the windscreen and, depending on
version, a radar fitted in the front bumper. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Driving
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 activates the direction
indicator to overtake a slower vehicle,
cruise control may temporarily reduce the
distance to the target vehicle to facilitate
overtaking, without exceeding the speed
setting.

Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction,
dashes are displayed instead of
the speed setting.
This warning lamp comes on, accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, to confirm the malfunction.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Lane positioning assist
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .


The system identifies the edges of the traffic lane
and steers the vehicle to keep it inside this lane
and maintain the lateral position chosen by the
driver.
To do this, the system uses a camera placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.
This system is particularly suited to driving on
motorways and main roads.
Operating conditions
– Adaptive cruise control active.
– T raffic lane marked out by lines on both sides.
–

ESC system operational.
–


ASR/CDS systems activated.
–


No trailer detected.
–


No 'space-saver' spare wheel in use.
–

–

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) CarM an uals 2 .c o m

144
Driving
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, which
suspends the function. The driver positions the
vehicle where they wish to in the lane. When
the driver feels that the vehicle’s position is
appropriate, they maintain it until the function
is reactivated. The system regains control by
regulating on the new 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
intervention on the brake pedal that causes
the Adaptive cruise control to pause will also
cause the system to pause.
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 function must be
reactivated by pressing the button again.
Automatic pause
– Triggering of the ESC.
– Prolonged failure to detect one of the lane
limit markings. In this case, the Lane keeping
assist function can take over
, and the system will
reactivate itself once the operating conditions are
met again.
In response to action by the driver:
suspension
– Activation of the direction indicators.
– T ravelling outside the lane limits.
–

T
oo tight a grip on the steering wheel or
dynamic action on the steering wheel.
–

Action on the brake pedal (resulting in a pause
until cruise control is reactivated) or accelerator
pedal (suspension for as long as the pedal is
depressed).
