Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the tyre pressures while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or
more tyres.
Under-inflation detection does not
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel), especially before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
–

worsens road-holding.
–


lengthens braking distances.
–


causes premature wear of the tyres.
–


increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.

lateral brake lamps is detected.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of the
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
After an impact, the function automatically stops operating. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
Distance Alert
This function warns the driver that their vehicle
is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or
with a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
►

Select one of the three pre-defined
thresholds:
–

"Distant".
–
“Normal".
–
“Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert trigger
threshold chosen by the driver, several different
levels of alert may be triggered and displayed in
the instrument panel.
The system takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one
in front, the environmental conditions and the
operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals,
steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the
most relevant moment.
Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,
warning that the vehicle in front is very
close.
The message
"Vehicle close" is displayed.
Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert,
warning that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake! " is displayed.
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 directly.
Important: the level 1 alert is not displayed
when there is a stationary obstacle or
when the "Near " trigger threshold has been
selected.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid a
collision, this system will supplement the braking,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if the driver
presses the brake pedal.

11 4
Driving
Driver Attention Alert
The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects that the driver has not taken a
break after two hours of driving at a speed above
40 mph (65 km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message
encouraging the driver to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
– With the engine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
– The ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes.
– The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops below 40 mph (65 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once
the speed reaches above 40 mph (65 km/h).
Driver Attention Alert by
camera
Depending on version, the "Driver Attention Alert"
may be combined with the "Driver Attention Alert
by camera".

Active Safety Brake

This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, intervenes following the alerts if the
driver does not react quickly enough and does
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a
collision where the driver fails to react.
Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
–

The vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph
(60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
–


The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle is detected.
– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle
is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for approximately 10 seconds) as soon as
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking bringing the
vehicle to a complete stop, keep the brake
pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from
moving off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the vehicle at any time by firmly turning the
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the
accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may vibrate slightly while the function is operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.
Malfunction
A fault in the system is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
These warning lamps come on if the driver's seat belt and/or front
passenger seat belt (depending on version) are
not fastened.
Distraction detection
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Depending on version, the function consists of
either the "Driver Attention Alert" system alone
or combined with the "Driver Attention Alert by
camera" system.
These systems are in no way designed to keep the driver awake or to prevent
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.

Practical information
► Take care to select the pump that delivers the
correct fuel type for your vehicle's engine (see a
reminder label on the inside of the filler flap).
►
Insert the key into the filler cap, if your vehicle
has a standard key

.
►

T
urn the filler cap to the left.


► Remove the filler cap and hang it on its
carrier (on the filler flap).
►

Insert the nozzle as far as it will go (pressing
against the metal non-return valve A

).
►

Fill the tank.
Do not continue past the
third nozzle cut-off, as this may cause
malfunctions.
►

Put the filler cap back in place and close it by
turning it to the right.
►


Push the fuel filler flap to close it (your
vehicle must be unlocked).
Y

our vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, a
device which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, admitting petrol
nozzles only.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct fuel
before starting the engine.
For the THP 225 S&S EAT8 engine, the use
of RON98 unleaded petrol is recommended to
ensure optimum engine performance.
Fuel cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
Diesel misfuel prevention
Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank
of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk
of engine damage that can result from filling with
the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention
device appears when the filler cap is removed.


When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into
contact with the flap. The system remains closed
and prevents filling.
Do not persist but instead insert a Diesel
filler nozzle.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank slowly.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do
not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct
contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention
device.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to
check with a PEUGEOT dealer if the vehicle
is suitable for the distribution equipment of the
countries visited.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Only use chains that have been designed for the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle. Original tyre size Type of chain195/65 R15 9 mm link
