The operation of the cruise control can be
interrupted (pause):
-

b
y pressing control 4 or by pressing the
brake pedal,
-

a
utomatically, if operation of the dynamic
stability control system is triggered.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.The cruise control is switched on

manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of
25 mph (40 km/h) as well as:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox, the
engagement of third gear or higher,
-
w
ith an automatic gearbox, the gear
selector in D mode or second gear
or higher in M mode.
Speed regulation remains active after
changing gear on vehicles fitted with a
manual gearbox and Stop & Start.
System which automatically maintains the cruising speed of the vehicle at a setting programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to observe speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
As a safety measure, you are advised to
keep your feet near the pedals at all times.

or Speed limit recognition , refer to the
corresponding section.

speed settings,
F

p
ress the button for the desired speed
setting.
This setting becomes the new cruise speed. Take care: pressing and holding
button

As a precaution, it is recommended
that the cruise speed chosen be close
to the current speed of your vehicle, so
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
When descending a steep hill, the
cruise control system cannot prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
When required (overtaking manoeuvre...), it is
possible to exceed the programmed speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is temporarily overridden
and the programmed speed setting flashes.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, the cruise control takes
over again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.
You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is
automatically paused.
To activate the system again, with the speed
of the vehicle above 25 mph (40 km/h), press
button 4
.
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "0" position:
the cruise control information disappears
from the screen.
To modify the cruise speed setting using the
speed suggested by the speed limit recognition
system:
F

t

he speed suggested is displayed in the
instrument panel,
F

m

ake a first press on button 5
; a message
is displayed to confirm the memorisation
request,
F

p

ress button 5 again to save the suggested
speed.
This value is then displayed in the instrument
panel as the new cruise speed setting.

Only use the cruise control if the traffic
conditions will allow you to drive for a
certain time at a steady speed and at a
safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
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...).
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 inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
Operating fault
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the cruise
control system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Dynamic cruise control with Stop function
The dynamic cruise control is a driving
aid that cannot in any circumstances
replace the observation of speed limits
and safe 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.
This system provides two functions:
-
a

utomatic regulation of the speed of the
vehicle to a value programmed by the driver,
-
a

utomatic adjustment of the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
It manages the acceleration and deceleration
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the
engine and the braking system.
To do this, the system has a radar, located in
the middle of the front bumper, with a maximum
range of 150 metres.
Principles
This system detects a vehicle running in front of
your vehicle, travelling in the same direction.
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 braking system is used to decelerate the
vehicle, the brake lamps come on.
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 dynamic cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.

Otherwise, the last setting made will be used
when switching on the system.
When the cruise control is operating,
Stop & Start is automatically
deactivated.
Pause
The dynamic cruise control can be paused
manually by:
-

a

●

o
n the electric parking brake control,
●

w

automatic gearbox.
-

o
r 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
should press the accelerator pedal to
move off, then reactivate the system
by exceeding 18
mph (30 km/h) and
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.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.

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.
Wait until the speed of the vehicle
is close to the speed setting before
reactivating the system - by pressing
button 2 or 3 - in order to set your
current speed as the new speed setting.
Modification of the speed
setting
Engine running and cruise control on (green),
you can modify the speed setting.As a precaution, it is recommended that
you select a cruise speed setting close
to the current speed of your vehicle, so
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle.
Modification from the speed limit
recognition system

Modification of the inter-
vehicle distance setting
Three predefined inter-vehicle distance settings
are offered:
-
"
Distant" (3 dashes),
-

"
Normal" (2 dashes),
-

"
Close" (1 dash).
Engine running and cruise control selected
(grey), you can modify the inter-vehicle
distance setting:
F

p
ress button 6 to display the selection
screen for inter-vehicle distance,
F

p
ress button 6 repeatedly to cycle through
the predefined settings.
The selection screen closes after a
few


seconds.
The modification is then taken into account. This setting remains in memory, whatever the
state of the system and when the ignition is
switched off.
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.
