► Briefly press button 2 or 3 to change the
value in steps of + or - 1 mph (km/h).
► Press and hold button 2 or 3 to change the
value in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h).
Pressing and holding button 2 or
3 results in a rapid change in the speed
of the vehicle.
As a precaution, we recommend setting a cruise speed fairly close to the current
speed of your vehicle, to avoid any sudden
acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle.
To modify the cruise speed setting using memorised speed settings and from the touch
screen:
► press button 5 to display the memorised
speed settings,
► press the button for the desired speed
setting.

When using snow chains, non-slip covers
or studded tyres.
Cruise control
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids and to
Cruise control - particular recommendations.
This system automatically keeps the vehicle’s speed at the cruise value
programmed by the driver (speed setting),
without using the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 19 mph
(30

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.
Depending on engine, cruise control is
paused manually (button 4) or by
pressing the brake or clutch pedal or if the
electronic stability control (ESC) system is
triggered for safety reasons.
Depending on engine, with a manual gearbox
and Stop & Start, cruise control remains

Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
If needed (for overtaking, etc.) 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.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the
vehicle from exceeding the programmed
speed.
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
► Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "0” position: the
cruise control information disappears from the
screen.
Malfunction

Dashes are displayed (flashing, initially, then
fixed) in the event of a cruise control system
malfunction.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Refer to the General recommendations
on the use of driving and
manoeuvring aids and to Cruise control
- particular recommendations.
This system automatically maintains the speed
of your vehicle at a value which you set (speed
setting), while keeping a safe distance from the
vehicle in front (target vehicle), and which has
been set beforehand by the driver. The system
automatically manages the acceleration and
deceleration of the vehicle.

108
Driving
Mode D or M must be selected.
► With the vehicle moving, press one of the
buttons 2 or 3: the current speed of your vehicle
becomes the cruise speed setting.
– the current speed of your vehicle, if it is over
19 mph (30 km/h),
– 19 mph (30 km/h), if it is below 19 mph
(30 km/h).
Saving your settings
Switching off the ignition cancels any speed
setting value chosen by the driver.
The inter-vehicle distance is set at " Normal"
(2 dashes) by default. Otherwise, the last
value selected will be used when the system is
switched on.
Pause
The cruise control can be paused manually:
– either by action by the driver:
• On the button 4 (Pause).
• On the brake pedal.
• On the electric parking brake control.
• On the clutch pedal, by pressing for
approximately 10 seconds or more.
• When changing from mode D to N with an
automatic gearbox.
– or automatically:
• If the ESC system is activated, for safety
reasons.
• When the speed of the vehicle goes below
19 mph (30 km/h) (1,100 rpm) with a manual
gearbox.
With the Stop function (with the EAT8 automatic
gearbox), the system manages braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop.
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, it uses a radar fitted in the front
bumper.
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 operates a direction indicator
to overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise
control allows the vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, without ever
exceeding the speed setting.
Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly detected or may be
misinterpreted by the camera and/or radar
(e.g. a lorry), which may lead to a poor
assessment of distances and lead to the
vehicle accelerating or braking
inappropriately.
Operating principle
The system 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 driving more slowly,
the system slows, or even stops your vehicle
completely (with the EAT8 automatic gearbox),
using engine braking and the braking system.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the cruise control progressively accelerates
your vehicle to return to the programmed speed.
The brake lamps illuminate as soon as the braking system is activated to
decelerate the vehicle.
This system is a driving aid that cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
to observe speed limits and safety distances,
nor the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle at all times by keeping both hands on
the steering wheel and keeping their feet near
the brake and accelerator pedals.
Steering-mounted controls
1. ON (CRUISE position)/OFF (position 0)
2. Activation of cruise control at the current
speed/decrease speed setting
3. Activation of cruise control at the current
speed/increase speed setting
4. Pause/resume cruise control with the speed
setting previously saved
5. Use the speed suggested by the Speed Limit
Recognition and Recommendation ( MEM
display)
6. Display and adjustment of the distance
setting to the vehicle in front
Switching on
► With the engine running, turn the
thumbwheel 1 to the "CRUISE" position. The
system is paused (grey display).
With a manual gearbox, vehicle speed must be
between 19 and 112 mph (30
and 180 km/h).
With an automatic gearbox, vehicle speed must
be between 0 and 112 mph (0
and 180 km/h).

11 0
Driving
As a precaution, it is recommended that you select a cruise speed close to the
current speed of your vehicle, so as to avoid
any sudden acceleration or deceleration of
the vehicle.
Modification of the inter-
vehicle distance setting


Three threshold settings are available for the
inter-vehicle distance:
–
"Distant" (3 dashes),
–
"Normal" (2 dashes),
–
"Close" (1 dash).
With the engine running and with the
thumbwheel at the " CRUISE" position:
►

Press button
6 to display the selection screen
for the inter-vehicle distance setting.
►

Pressing button 6

repeatedly will cycle
through the predefined settings.
The selection screen closes after a few seconds.
The change then takes effect.
This setting remains memorised, whatever the
state of the system and even when the ignition is
switched off.
The selection also applies to the stopping distance (with EAT6 and EAT8 automatic
gearbox).
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.
Messages and alerts
To benefit from the following information on the
instrument panel, select the DRIVING or Driving
aids display mode.
The display of these messages or alerts is not sequential.

conditions are not fulfilled.
Stop function
"Cruise control paused" (for a few
seconds).
The system has brought the vehicle to a
complete stop and is keeping it immobilised:
cruise control is paused.
The driver must accelerate to move off again,
then reactivate cruise control.
Operating limits
The system cannot exceed the limits of the laws
of physics.

111
Driving
6Certain situations cannot be managed by the
system and require the driver to take back
control of the vehicle.
Cases of non-detection by the radar:
–
Pedestrians, some cyclists, animals.
–


Stationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown,
etc.).


– Vehicles crossing your lane.
– V ehicles driving in the opposite direction.
Situations in which the driver must pause the
cruise control system:


– Vehicles in a tight bend.
– When approaching a roundabout.

– When following a narrow vehicle.
Reactivate cruise control when conditions permit.
Situations in which the driver is prompted to
immediately resume control:
–

Excessively sharp deceleration by the vehicle
in front of you.


– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your
vehicle and the one in front.
The system must not be activated in the
following situations:
–

Use of the "space-saver" type spare wheel
(depending on version).
–

Towing.
–

Following an impact on the front bumper
.
Be particularly careful:
– When motorcycles are present and
when there are vehicles staggered across the
traffic lane.
–

When you enter a tunnel or cross a bridge.
Cruise control operates by day and night,
in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that
you always keep a safe distance from the
vehicles in front of you according to the traffic
conditions, weather conditions and the state
of the road surface.
Use the cruise control only where the driving
conditions allow running at a constant speed
and keeping an adequate safety distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas where pedestrians are likely to cross
the road, in heavy traffic (except for versions
with EAT8 gearbox), on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, when
there is snowfall, if the front bumper is
damaged or when the brake lamps have
failed.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be possible for the speed setting to be
maintained or even reached: loaded vehicle,
ascending a steep hill, etc.
The system is not intended for the following situations:
–

if the front end of the vehicle has been
modified (addition of long-range headlamps,
painting of the front bumper),
–


driving on a racing circuit,
–


running on a rolling road,
–


use of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
The use of mats not approved by PEUGEOT


may interfere with the operation of the cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–

ensure that the mat is secured correctly
,
–

never put one mat on top of another
.

This warning lamp comes on, accompanied by a warning message and
an audible signal, to indicate a system
malfunction.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The adaptive cruise control deactivates automatically if the use of a “space-
saver” type spare wheel is detected or in the
event of a malfunction of the lateral brake
lamps or trailer brake lamps (for approved
trailers).
Active Safety Brake with Distance Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system:
–
warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front.
–

reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or limit its severity

.
This system is comprised of three functions:
–

Distance Alert.
–


Intelligent emergency braking assistance.
–


Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).


The vehicle has a multifunction camera located
at the top of the windscreen and, depending on
version, a radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not avoid the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the driver
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor traffic conditions in accordance with
applicable driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a potential obstacle, it prepares the braking
circuit in case automatic braking is needed.
This may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.

Following
an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated when the use of a "space-saver" type
spare wheel is detected, or if a fault with the
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.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Activation / Deactivation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.

Driving
6Driver 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".


Using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen, the system assesses the
driver's level of vigilance, fatigue or distraction by
identifying variations in trajectory compared to
the lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65
km/h)).
At a first-level alert, the driver is warned by the
“Take care! ” message, accompanied by an
audible signal.
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers
a further alert with the message " Dangerous
driving: take a break", accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
surface or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's level of
vigilance.
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–

lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow
,
mud) or multiple (roadworks);
–

close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings
not detected);
–


roads that are narrow
, winding, etc.
Active Lane Keeping Assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the road,
the system corrects the trajectory of the vehicle
while alerting the driver if it detects a risk of
unintentionally crossing a line.
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.


Conditions for operation
– Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70
and 180 km/h).
–

Steering wheel held in both hands.

Driving situations and related alerts
The table below describes the alerts and messages displayed in different driving situations.
These alerts are not displayed sequentially.
The "Driving aids" tab on the instrument panel display must have been selected.Function status Indicator lamp Display and/or associated
messageComments
OFF


(grey)
Function deactivated.
ON

(grey) System active, conditions not met:
–
speed below 44 mph (70 km/h),
– no lane marking recognised,
– ASR/DSC systems deactivated or operation of ESC
system triggered,
– "sport" driving.

ON

(orange)/(green)
The system corrects the trajectory on the side where the
risk of unintentional crossing is detected (orange line).
– Direction indicators not activated.
– ESC system activated and operational.
The system helps the driver only if there is a risk of the vehicle unintentionally
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It
does not manage the safe driving distance,
vehicle speed or braking.
The driver must hold the steering wheel
with both hands in a way that allows control
to be maintained in circumstances where
the system is not able to intervene (if lane
markings disappear, for example).
Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border), it
makes the necessary trajectory correction to
return the vehicle to its initial path.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during trajectory correction.
The driver can prevent the correction by keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during
an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).
The correction is interrupted immediately if
the direction indicators are operated.


While the direction indicators are on and for
a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that any change of trajectory is
intentional and no correction is triggered during
this period.
However, with the Blind Spot Monitoring system
activated, if the driver starts changing lanes and
another vehicle is detected in the vehicle's blind
spot, the system will correct the trajectory even
though the direction indicators are on.
For more information on the Blind Spot
Monitoring , refer to the corresponding section.
If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough during
an automatic correction of trajectory, it
interrupts the correction. An alert is triggered
to encourage the driver to take back control of
the vehicle.
