ress and hold button 2 to deactivate the
system and retract the strip.
th

e activated/deactivated state is saved and

Activation / Deactivation
F With the engine running, adjust the brightness of the information displayed
using buttons 3 :
-

t
he "sun" to increase the brightness,
-

t
he "moon" to decrease the brightness.
Brightness adjustment
We recommend that adjustments are made
using these buttons only when the vehicle
is stationary.
When stationary or while driving, no objects
should be placed around the strip (or in its
recess) so as to not impede deployment of
the strip and its correct operation.
In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, ...)
the head-up display may not be legible
or may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading
of the information.
to c

lean the strip, use a clean, soft
cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or
microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or
abrasive cloth or detergent or solvent
products as these could scratch the
strip or damage the non-reflective
coating.
Height adjustment
F With the engine running, adjust the display to the desired height using buttons 4 :
-

u
p to move the display up,
-

d
own to move the display down.

Blind spot sensors
this driving assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger.A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
i

mmediately, when being overtaken,
-

a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
th
is system is designed to improve
safety when driving and is in no
circumstances a substitute for the use
of the interior rear view mirror and door
mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility
to constantly check the traffic, to asses
the distances and relative speeds
of other vehicles and to predict their
movements before deciding whether to
change lane.
th
e blind spot sensor system can never
replace the vigilance and responsibility
of the driver.

No alert will be given in the following situations:
- i n the presence of stationary objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs...),
-

w
ith vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
-

d
riving on a sinuous road or a sharp
c o r n e r,
Operation
F On switching on the ignition, or engine running, press this button
to activate the function; the
warning lamp comes on. Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
th

e alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle - car, lorry,
cycle - is detected and the following conditions
are fulfilled:
-
a
ll the vehicles must be moving in the
same direction,
-
t
he speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
75 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
- t he difference in speed between your
vehicle and the other vehicles must be less
than 6 mph (10 km/h),
-

t
he traffic must be flowing normally,
-

i
n the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken remains in the blind spot,
-

y
ou are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-

y
our vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a
caravan...

- when overtaking (or being overtaken by) a very long vehicle (lorry, coach...) which is
at the same time detected at the rear in the
blind spot angle and present in the driver's
forward field of vision,
-

i
n very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry
or a stationary object,
-

w
hen overtaking quickly. F
t
o d
eactivate the system, press
this button again; the warning
lamp goes off.
Operating fault
the system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions(rain, hail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud, ice
or snow.
ta

ke care not to cover the warning zone
in the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with adhesive labels or other objects;
they may hamper the correct operation
of the system. In the event of a fault, the warning
lamp in the button flashes then goes
of f.
Have it checked by a P
e
uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
th

e state of the system remains in memory on
switching off the ignition.

e system is automatically deactivated

Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the
driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal no longer
has any effect unless it is pressed firmly,
which allows you to temporarily exceed the
programmed speed.
to r
eturn to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed by releasing the accelerator.
th

e speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20
mph (30 km/h).
th

e speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.
th

e programmed speed remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
the speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to observe speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
this information also appears in the
head-up display.

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.

km/h),
-
t

he engagement of 2nd gear or higher,
-
position A.
Cruise control is switched off manually or by
pressing the brake pedal or on triggering of the

SC system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
