audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
►
Reduce speed immediately
, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►

Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected may not always cause visible deformation of the
tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►

Using a compressor
, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of all four tyres when cold.
►

If it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately

, drive carefully at reduced speed.
►

In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
Driving too slowly may not ensure
optimum monitoring.
The alert is not immediately triggered in the
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre
blow-out. This is because analysis of the
values read by the wheel's speed sensors
can take several minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below
25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty
driving mode.
The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
► The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,
and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
With the vehicle stationary, the system
can be reinitialised in the
Settings>Vehicle touch screen application.
►

Then select
Safety > Tire Pressure Setup.
►

Press
YES to confirm.
The

reinitialisation is confirmed by the display of
a message and an audible signal.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction,
these warning lamps light up on
the instrument panel.
A message appears, accompanied by an audible
signal.
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring
function is no longer performed.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Non-standard or 'space-saver' spare
wheel
The use of this type of spare wheel may
suspend tyre pressure monitoring.
In this case, the malfunction warning lamp
comes on and disappears once the wheel
has been replaced by one of uniform size (the
same as the others), the pressure readjusted
and the
reinitialisation carried out.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt
the speed to climatic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance
and relative speed of other vehicles, and
anticipate their manoeuvres before using the
direction indicator and changing lanes.
These systems do not make it possible to
exceed the laws of physics. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Speed setting
recommendations
The driver can select the speed displayed by the
Road signs recognition system as the speed
setting for the speed limiter, cruise control or
adaptive cruise control using the OK button.
If rain is detected, the system proposes a speed
setting to the driver which is lower than the
speed read/sent from the mapping system in
order to adapt to the weather conditions (e.g.
on
motorways, the proposed speed is 68 mph (110
km/h) instead of 81 mph (130 km/h).
For more information on the Speed
limiter, Cruise control or Adaptive
cruise control, refer to the corresponding
sections.
Speed setting advance recommendations
With Drive Assist 2.0 activated, the system
detects the next speed limit sign, displays it in
the background and proposes this new speed as
the speed setting.
Once memorised:
–

If the speed setting is lower than the previous
one, the vehicle slows down to reach this new
speed when it gets to the sign.
–


If the speed setting is higher than the previous
one, the vehicle speeds up to reach this new
speed when it passes the sign. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Drive Assist Plus
This system automatically adjusts the speed and corrects the trajectory of the vehicle, using
Adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go function in
conjunction with Lane positioning assist.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
For more information on Adaptive cruise
control and Lane positioning assist , refer to
the corresponding sections.
The system assists the driver by acting on the steering, acceleration and braking
within the physical limits and capacities of the
vehicle. Certain road infrastructure elements
or vehicles in the surroundings may not be
properly seen or may be poorly interpreted by
the camera and radar, resulting in an
unexpected change in direction, a lack of
steering correction and/or inappropriate
management of acceleration or braking.

Cruise control
The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.
When cruise control is activated, the symbols are
displayed in green: with small steering inputs,
the system steers the vehicle and keeps it in the
position chosen by the driver in the traffic lane.
This position is not necessarily the centre of the
lane.
You can feel the steering wheel moving.
At any time, the driver can change the position of
the vehicle by intervening on the steering wheel
and maintaining the position until the system has
taken it into account. If the chosen position is too
off-centre, an automatic re-centering manoeuvre
can occur. The system adjusts to the newly
defined position.
Pausing/Suspending the
system
The driver must act promptly if they believe that the traffic conditions or the
state of the road surface require their
intervention, by moving the steering wheel to
temporarily suspend system operation. Any
action on the brake pedal that causes the
Adaptive cruise control
system to be paused
will also cause the system to be paused.
If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough, it
triggers a series of gradual alerts and then
deactivates itself if there is no response from
the driver.
If the function is suspended due to the
prolonged release of the force holding
the steering wheel, the system must be
reactivated by pressing the ASSIST button
again.
