and the message disappears. With the ignition on, a message
appears in the instrument panel
screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating fault
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode
and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from P to R and from N to R
.
th

is will not cause any damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a Pe ugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop.Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode. You risk damaging the gearbox:
-

i
f you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
-

i
f you force the lever from position P
to another position when the
battery is flat.

the dynamic cruise control is switched on
manually, it requires that the speed of the
vehicle be between 25 mph (40 km/h) and
90
mph (150 km/h).
General points
the dynamic cruise control can be paused
manually with the control, or automatically:
-

b
y pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
-

i
n the event of operation of the e SC, for
safety reasons,
-

i
n the event of an action on the electric
parking brake control,
-

w
hen an inter-vehicle time threshold is
reached (calculated according to the
relative speeds of your vehicle and the
vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time
setting chosen),
-

w
hen the distance between your vehicle
and the one in front becomes too small,
-

w
hen the speed of the vehicle in front is
too


low,
-

w
hen the speed of your vehicle becomes
too low.
the dynamic cruise control cannot in any
circumstances replace the observation
of speed limits, nor the need for the
vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
the inter-vehicle time setting is
memorised when switching off the
ignition.
With a manual gearbox, third or fourth gear
(depending on engine) or higher must be
engaged.
With an automatic gearbox, second gear or
higher must be engaged.
If the cruise speed setting is above 90 mph
(150 km/h), the dynamic cruise control switches
to normal cruise control mode (without
automatic adjustment of the safety inter-vehicle
distance).

When the dynamic cruise control is
automatically paused, it can only be
reactivated when safe conditions are
restored. t
h
e message "Activation
not possible, conditions unsuitable"
is displayed while reactivation is not
possible.
When the conditions allow, it is
recommended that the function be
reactivated by pressing button 2 (S
et
+
)
or 3 (S
e

t
-
), which will make the current
speed of your vehicle the new cruise
speed setting, rather than by pressing
button 4 (on/pause) which reactivates
the cruise control using the old cruise
speed setting, which may be very
different from the current speed of your
vehicle.th e speed regulation range is limited to a
maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h)
between the speed setting and the speed of the
vehicle in front.
Above this, the system goes into pause if the
safe distance becomes too low.
th

e dynamic cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing
the accelerator pedal.
th

e system is paused automatically:
-

i
f the vehicle in front slows down too much
or too suddenly, and the driver does not
brake,
-

i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front,
-

i
f the system does not slow the vehicle
enough to continue to maintain a safe
distance, for example when descending a
steep hill.
Limits of operation
As the radar's field of view is quite narrow, it is
possible that the system may not detect:th e cruise control does not take
account of:
-
s

tationary vehicles,
-

v
ehicles driving in the opposite
direction.
-

v
ehicles of reduced width, such as
motorcycles, -

v
ehicles not running in the middle of the
lane,
-
v
ehicles entering a corner,
-
v
ehicles changing lane at the last moment.

the change from one level of alert
to the next takes place if the driving
conditions do not change (speed
unchanged, no change of lane...)If the speed of your vehicle is too high
when approaching another vehicle, the
first level of alert may not be displayed:
the level 2 alert may be displayed
di r e c t l y.
On the other hand, the level 1 alert
is never displayed with the "close"
triggering threshold 3.
Severe weather conditions (very heavy
rain, accumulations of snow in front
of the radar) may inter fere with the
operation of the system, resulting in
the display of this message "
SYSTEM
INACTIVE: Reduced visibility ".
t
h
e
system will remain unavailable until the
message disappears.
the
emergency collision alert system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
Alerts
According to the collision risk detected by
the system and the alert threshold chosen,
different levels of alert can be given.
Level 1: visual alert only (orange)
indicating that the vehicle in front is
very close.
t
h
e message "Vehicle
close " is displayed.
Level 2 : visual (red) and audible
alerts indicating that a collision is
imminent.
t
h
e message "Brake!" is
displayed.
th

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

is level of alert is based on a time before
collision. It takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and
the speed of the vehicle in front, the driving
conditions, the situation with your vehicle
(cornering, pedals pressed, etc.) to trigger the
alert at the right moment.

emergency collision braking is a system that
aims to reduce the speed of a frontal collision
if the driver does not take action, using radar
type detection and acting on the vehicle's
braking system.
Emergency collision braking system
this warning lamp flashes when your
vehicle "starts" to brake but will not
in any circumstance completely stop
the vehicle.
You should continue to press firmly
on the brake pedal until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop.Conditions for activation
emergency collision braking only operates in
the following conditions:
●
e
ngine running
●

n
o fault in the electronic stability system,
●

s
peed at least 12 mph (20 km/h),
●

e

Park Assist
this system provides active assistance with
parking. It detects a parking space then
operates the steering to park in the space.
It operates the steering while the driver
manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and
clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of
entry into and exit from a parking space, the
system provides visual and audible information
to the driver in order to make the manoeuvres
safe. It may be necessary to move for wards
and backwards more than once.During a manoeuvre, the steering
wheel turns quickly: do not hold the
steering wheel, do not place your
hands between the spokes of the
steering wheel and take care with
loose and bulky clothing (scarves, ties,
handbags...) - Risk of injury!
When Park Assist is activated, it
prevents a change to S
tO

P mode of
Stop & Start. In S
tO

P mode, activation
of Park Assist restarts the engine.
this manoeuvring assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
th

e driver must remain in control of their
vehicle ensuring that the space remains
clear throughout the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
the driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.
