Limits of operation
The system cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
It is recommended that the system be
deactivated when the "space-saver" spare
wheel is in use.
The system should not be activated when
towing a trailer.
In certain critical situations, the system will
encourage the driver to immediately take back
control:
-
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. As the radar's field of detection is quite narrow,
it is possible that the system may not detect:
-

v
ehicles of reduced width (motorcycles,
scooters...),
-

v
ehicles not running in the middle of the
lane,
-
v

ehicles entering a corner,
-
v

ehicles suddenly pulling out.The cruise control does not take account of:
-

p
edestrians, cyclists, animals,
-

s
tationary vehicles (traffic jam, red light,
breakdown...),
-

v
ehicles crossing a junction,
-

v
ehicles driving in the opposite direction.

Operating fault
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.In the event of a fault with the cruise
control, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp
and the display of a message in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal.
The cruise control operates by day and at
night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that
you always keep a safe distance from
vehicles ahead, according to the driving
conditions, the weather and the road
sur face.
Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at a
constant speed and at an adequate safe
distance.
Do not use the cruise control in urban
areas, heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads or on slippery or flooded sur faces.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be possible for the speed setting to be
maintained or even attained: loaded
vehicle, ascending a steep hill, ... The system is not intended for driving in the
following situations:
-

t

he front end of the vehicle has been
modified (addition of driving lamps),
-

d

riving on a racing circuit,
-

r

unning on a rolling road,
-
u
se of snow chains or non-slip covers.
As a safety measure, do not use the
system if the brake lamps are faulty.
Do not use the system if the front
bumper is damaged.
The operation of the radar, located in the
front bumper, may be disturbed in certain
weather conditions, for example: with
accumulations of snow, ice, mud, ...
Clean the front bumper, removing the snow,
mud, ... The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the operation
of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-

e

nsure that mats are secured correctly,
-

n

ever fit one mat on top of another.

Distance alert and Active Safety Brake
This system includes three functions:
- D istance alert (alert if there is a risk of
collision),
-
I

ntelligent emergency braking assistance,
-

A
ctive Safety Brake (automatic emergency
b r ak ing).
Points on the Active Safety Brake
function
The speed of the vehicle must be between 3
and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h) when a moving
vehicle is detected.
The speed of the vehicle must not be higher
than 50 mph (80 km/h) when a stationary
vehicle is detected.
The speed of the vehicle must not be higher
than 36 mph (60 km/h) when a pedestrian is
detected.
The DSC system must not be deactivated or
faulty.
All occupants must have fastened their seat
belts.
Driving at steady speed on roads with few
bends is required.
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.
This system does not avoid the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The vehicle is fitted with a radar located in the
front bumper and a camera at the top of the
windscreen.
Conditions for activation and operation
The system is active from about 4 mph (7 km/h)
and is deactivated below about 3 mph (5 km/h).
It takes account of:
-
r
egistered vehicles running in the same
direction or stationary,
-

p
edestrians present in the traffic lane
(bicycles, motorcycles, animals and objects
on the road are not necessarily detected).
Distance aler t: it warns the driver if their
vehicle is at risk of collision with the
vehicle in front or a pedestrian present in
their traffic lane.
Intelligent emergency braking assistance:
it completes the braking action taken by the
driver if this is inadequate.
Active Safety Brake: it inter venes following
the aler t if the driver does not react quickly
enough and does not operate the vehicle's
brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes
towards avoiding a collision or limiting
its severity by reducing the speed of your
vehicle. Following an impact, the system
is automatically disabled; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, different levels of alert can be
triggered and displayed in the instrument panel.
Because of limits in the operation of the
system, it is possible that warnings are
not given, are given too late or seem
unjustified.
Consequently, the driver must always
remain attentive and able to react at any
time to avoid an accident.
Distance alert
Level 1: visual alert only, signalling
to you that the vehicle in front is very
close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.
Limits of operation
In the following cases, it is recommended
that the system be deactivated in the vehicle
configuration menu:
-

w
hen towing a trailer or caravan,
-

w
hen carrying long objects on roof bars or
a roof rack,
-

b
efore using an automatic car wash, with
the engine running,
-

b
efore placing the vehicle on a rolling road
in a workshop,
-

w
hen the vehicle is being towed, with the
engine running,
-

w
hen a "space-saver" type spare wheel is
fitted (depending on version),
-

f
ollowing impact damage to the windscreen
close to the detection camera,
-

i
f the front bumper has been damaged,
-

i
f the brake lamps are not working. This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front.
Level 2: visual and audible alert,
warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
This level of alert is based on the time before
collision. It takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the
one in front, the environmental conditions, the
operation of the vehicle (cornering, pedals
pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best
moment. Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high 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.
Important
: the level 1 alert is never
displayed if the " Close" threshold has
been selected.
