speed limit signs and recommendation ,
refer to the corresponding section. 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
programmed inter-vehicle
distance
Three threshold settings are suggested for the
inter-vehicle distance:
-
"Distant " (3
dashes),
-
"Normal " (2
dashes),

-

W
hen you enter a tunnel or cross a
bridge. The 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
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 keeping an adequate
safety distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, when
there are snowfalls, 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 attained: loaded
vehicle, ascending a steep hill, etc.
Driving

215
The system is not intended for the
following situations:
-
i
f the front end of the vehicle has
been modified (addition of long-range
headlamps, painting of the front
bumper),
-

d
riving on a racing circuit,
-

r
unning on a rolling stand,
-

u
se of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
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 mats are secured correctly,
-

n
ever place one mat on top of another.
Operating fault
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.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. Operation of the radar, located in the
front bumper, may be impaired by the
accumulation of dirt (dust, mud, etc.) or in
certain weather conditions (snow, frost,
e t c .) .
Clean the front bumper regularly.
If the front bumper is to be repainted or
retouched, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could inter fere with the operation of
the radar.
Distance alert and Active
Safety Brake
This system is a driving aid that 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).
Distance alert: 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 intervenes following
the alert 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.

Driving

216
Activation and operating
conditions
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen, and depending on the version,
a radar located in the front bumpers.
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:
-

v
ehicles running in the same direction or
stationary,
-

p
edestrians in the traffic lane (bicycles,
motorcycles, animals and objects on the
road are not necessarily detected). 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.
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 sense of
deceleration.
Operating limits
In the following cases, deactivating the
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is
recommended:
-

w
hen towing a trailer,
-

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 stand
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), It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay alert and be
prepared to react at any time to avoid an
accident.Distance alert
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.
Level 1: visual alert only, signalling
to you that the vehicle in front is very
close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front. -
fo
llowing impact damage to the windscreen
close to the detection camera,
-
i
f the front bumper has been damaged
(version with radar),
-
i
f the brake lamps are not working.
Driving

217
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 directly.
Important: alert level 1
is never displayed
when the " Close" trigger threshold has
been selected.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish to be
warned of the presence of a vehicle moving
or stationary in front of you, or a pedestrian
present in your traffic lane.
The current threshold can be modified via the
vehicle configuration menu.
You can select one of three predefined
thresholds:
-
"Distant ",
-
"Normal ",
-
"Close ".
The last threshold selected is kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
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 you
press the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake
If the camera and/or radar have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes once the function is acting
on the vehicle's brakes.
Level 2
: visual and audible alert,
warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or
avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle where
the driver fails to react.
Using a camera and, depending on the version,
radar, this function acts on the vehicle's braking
system.
6
Driving

218
Important: if operation of the
automatic emergency braking is
triggered, you should take back
control of your vehicle and brake
with the pedal to add to or finish the
automatic braking action.
The driver can take back control of the vehicle
at any time by sharply turning the steering
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.
The point at which braking is triggered
may be adjusted depending on the driving
actions of the driver, such as movement
of the steering wheel or actions at the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for
1

to 2
seconds. With a manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, the
engine may stall.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event
of automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, keep
the brake pedal pressed down to prevent
the vehicle from starting off again.
Specific conditions for operation
The vehicle's speed must be between 3 mph
a nd 53 mph (5 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions
with camera alone) or 85
mph (140 km/h)
(versions with camera and radar) when a
moving vehicle is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 50
mph
(80 km/h) when a stopped vehicle is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 37
mph
(60
km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
The ESC system must not be defective.
The DCS system must not be deactivated.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required. After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
The system can be deactivated or activated via
the vehicle settings menu.
Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the
system, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
Check that the sensors (camera and radar) are
not covered by dirt, mud, frost, snow, etc.
If the fault persists, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
