6Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
If a fault is detected in just one of the tyres, the
symbol or message displayed, depending on
equipment, will identify it.
►

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 tyre/tyres
concerned is/are reinflated, repaired or
replaced.
Malfunction
The flashing and then fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by the
illumination of the service warning lamp, and
depending on equipment, the display of a
message, indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, the tyre pressures are no longer
monitored.
This alert is also displayed if at least one wheel is not equipped with a sensor.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked or,
following a puncture, to have a tyre refitted to the
original rim, equipped with a sensor.
Pneumatic suspension

If the vehicle is equipped with pneumatic
suspension, it is possible to change the height
of the rear sill, in order to facilitate loading or
unloading.




There is a normal sill level, as well as 3 higher
levels (from +1 to +3) and 3 lower levels (from
-1 to -3). Each level reached is displayed on the
instrument panel display screen.

80
Driving
Loading sill height manual
correction
Adjusting the platform sill up or down
► A quick press on one of the controls selects
the upper or lower level. Each press (diode lit)
increases or decreases by one level.
A long press on one of the controls selects the
maximum corresponding level (-3 or +3).
Returning to the normal sill height
► Press the same number of times in the
opposite direction of the displayed position.
Deactivation/Reactivation
► Press and hold both controls simultaneously
to deactivate/reactivate the system.
Deactivation is confirmed by the lighting of the
control LEDs.
Beyond a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h), the
system reactivates automatically.
Loading sill height
automatic correction
Beyond a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h), the
system automatically restores the rear sill height
to its normal level.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp comes on.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Driving with the suspension set too high
or too low poses risk of damaging
components under the body.
The height may be adjusted automatically to
take account of changes in temperature or
loading.
You must avoid using this control in the
following circumstances:
–

when working underneath the vehicle,
–


when changing a wheel,
–


when the vehicle is being transported by
lorry

, train, ferry, boat, etc.
To avoid damaging the vehicle or injuring
anyone, check that there is nothing or no
person that might be close to or come into
contact with the vehicle, before raising or
lowering the suspension.
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.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the door and interior
mirrors, always leave your feet close to the
pedals and take a break every 2 hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during

81
Driving
6the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar(s)
The operation of the radar(s), along with
any associated functions, may be affected
by the accumulation of dirt (e.g.
mud, ice),
in poor weather conditions (e.g.
heavy rain,
snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop;
certain types of paint could interfere with the
operation of the radar(s).
Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or
masked by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s)
displayed on the touch screen or on the
instrument panel may be distorted by the
terrain.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well as
any associated functions, may be disrupted
by noise pollution such as that emitted by
noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30
cm away
from the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims not
approved by PEUGEOT may interfere with
the operation of the speed limiter or cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–

Ensure that the mat is secured correctly
.
–

Never fit one mat on top of another
.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required

82
Driving
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Speed Limit recognition
and recommendation
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .




Using the camera located at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects the following
types of signs and displays the corresponding
information on the instrument panel:
– the maximum authorised speed,
– no overtaking,
–

the end of the previous limitations/restrictions.
The system detects signs on the left-hand side
and right-hand side, high and low

, as well as
overlapping signs.
The system only detects circular signs.
The units for the speed limit (mph or km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
This should be taken into account to ensure
you observe the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in.
Automatic road sign detection is a driving aid system and does not always display
speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
It is possible for the system to not display the
speed limit if it does not detect a speed limit
sign within a preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs that
conform to the Vienna Convention on road
signs. When replacing the bulbs of the headlamps,
it is highly recommended that you fit genuine
replacement parts.
Using other bulbs could reduce system
performance.
Principles

Using the camera, located at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects and reads the
speed limit indications, overtaking prohibitions
and signs indicating the end of implementation of
the signs previously mentioned.
The sign is read by the camera and is displayed
in the instrument panel when it is passed (when
the vehicle is level with it).
Display on the touch screen
then in the instrument panel
Traffic signs are displayed in two phases:
–
All new recognised traffic signs are displayed
on the touch screen in the form of a popup for 40
seconds.

83
Driving
6– These traffic signs are then displayed in the
instrument panel.
The system can display two traffic signs (speed
limit and no overtaking/end of no overtaking)
in parallel in the two dedicated zones of the
instrument panel.
If an additional traffic sign is detected, such as
one for a reduced speed limit when the road is
wet, this is displayed in an empty window below
the corresponding sign.
Additional traffic signs are filtered as follows:
–

Signs related to snow or ice are displayed only
if the exterior temperature is below 3°C.
–


Signs related to snow
, rain or fog are
displayed only if the wipers are on and the
exterior temperature is below 3°C.
–

Signs related to heavy goods vehicles are only
displayed if they apply to vehicles weighing less
than 4 tonnes.
–


Signs related to farm vehicles are not
displayed.
Signs such as no overtaking are cleared from
the instrument panel after approximately 40
seconds.
Activation/Deactivation
This function can be set using the MODE button: in the “Traffic Sign” menu, select
“ON” or “OFF”.
For more information on Vehicle
configuration (MODE) , refer to the
corresponding section.
Operating limits
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits, especially those imposed in the
following cases:
–

Poor weather (rain, snow).
–


Atmospheric pollution.
–


T
owing.
–

Driving with a space-saver type spare wheel
or snow chains fitted.
–


Driving with a non-standard suspension kit.
–


T
yre repaired using the temporary puncture
repair kit.
–

Y
oung drivers.
The system may not display the speed limit if it
does not detect a speed limit sign within a preset
period and in the following situations:
–

Road signs that are obstructed, non-standard,
damaged or bent.
–


Obsolete or incorrect maps.
–


Road incline causing the sign to be out of the
camera field of vision (on a slope, for example).
–


Change in the vehicle load that causes the
camera to tilt significantly (system operation may
temporarily be suspended to enable camera
self-calibration).
Speed limiter
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
System which prevents the vehicle
from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
The speed is selected when the vehicle is
stationary with the engine running or while
driving with at least 2
nd gear engaged.
The minimum speed to be programmed is 19
mph (30 km/h).
Fully depressing the accelerator pedal allows
you to exceed the programmed speed. To
resume use of the speed limiter, gradually
release the pressure on the accelerator pedal
and return below the programmed speed.

The display indicates OFF and the last
programmed speed.
Programming a speed
A speed can be programmed without activating
the speed limiter but with the engine running.
To memorise a speed higher than the previous
one:
►

Move the control upwards (+).
A

short press increases the setting by 1 mph
(km/h).
Pressing and holding increases the setting in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
To memorise a speed lower than the previous
one:
►

Move the control downwards (-).
A

short press decreases the setting by 1 mph
(km/h).
Pressing and holding decreases the setting in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).

speed
► Fully depress the accelerator pedal to exceed
the programmed speed threshold.


The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and
the programmed speed flashes.
To return to the speed limiter function, reduce
your speed below the programmed speed.
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
Switching the function off
► Place the ring in the central position O or
switch the ignition off to stop the system.
The last programmed speed remains in the
memory.
Malfunction

The programmed speed is cleared, then
replaced by dashes.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Fixed speed limiter

If fitted to your vehicle, its speed can be limited
to a fixed setting.
A label located in the passenger compartment
indicates this maximum speed.
The fixed speed limiter is not a cruise control
type function. It cannot be activated or
deactivated by the driver during the trip.
The maximum speed is originally set according to the regulations in force in
the country of sale.
This maximum speed cannot be changed by
the driver.
If you wish to modify this maximum speed,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

85
Driving
6Cruise control - Specific
recommendations
The cruise control function does not guarantee compliance with the maximum
authorised speed and the safety distance
between vehicles, the driver remains
responsible for their driving.
In the interest of public safety, only use cruise
control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles
to drive at a steady speed and maintain an
adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant while cruise control is
activated. If you press and hold one of the
speed setting modification buttons, your
vehicle may change speed very abruptly.
When descending a steep hill , the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the vehicle speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained.
Exceeding the programmed speed
setting
You can temporarily exceed the speed
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the
programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release the
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is
reached again, the displayed speed stops
flashing).
Operating limits
Never use the system in the following
situations:
–

In an urban area with the risk of
pedestrians crossing the road.
–


In heavy traffic.
–


On winding or steep roads.
–


On slippery or flooded roads.
–


In poor weather conditions.
–


In the event of restricted visibility for the
driver

.
–

Driving on a speed circuit.
–


Driving on a rolling road.
–


When using a ‘space-saver
’ type spare
wheel.
–

When using snow chains, non-slip covers
or studded tyres.

any speeds.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, the function
stops and the indicator lamp goes out.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Lane departure warning
system
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
System which detects the involuntary crossing of
longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground
(solid or broken line).


A camera, fitted in the upper central part of the
windscreen, monitors the road and detects the
lane marking lines and the position of the vehicle
in relation to them.
With the speed of the vehicle above 37 mph (60
km/h), an alarm is triggered if there is a deviation
in direction.
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.
In case of windscreen damage, it is strongly
recommended to contact a PEUGEOT dealer or

87
Driving
6a qualified workshop for any replacement and
calibration of the camera.
Operation
The system starts automatically when moving
off.
A check of the operating conditions takes place: these two indicator
lamps come on in the instrument panel.
When these conditions are met, these two
indicator lamps go off. The system is activated.
If the operating conditions are not met, the
system is activated but is no longer effective.
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of these
two warning lamps in the instrument panel.
Operating conditions
Once engaged, the system is active only when
these operating conditions are met:
–

The vehicle is moving forwards.
–


No malfunction of the vehicle is detected.
–


The speed of the vehicle is equal to or greater
than approximately 37 mph (60 km/h).
–


The longitudinal marking of the traffic lanes is
clearly visible.
–


The visibility conditions are clear
.
–

The trajectory is in a straight line (or in the
case of bends, they are wide).
–


The field of vision is sufficiently clear (the
safety distance with the vehicle ahead is
respected). –


In the event of a lane departure, the direction
indicator corresponding to the direction (right or
left) of the departure has not been operated.
–

The trajectory of the vehicle is consistent with
the road layout.
Deactivation / Reactivation



► Press this button to deactivate / reactivate the
function.
Deactivation is signalled by the illumination of
the button indicator lamp.
Upon reactivation, the two instrument panel
indicator lamps remain lit and fixed until the
speed reaches 37 mph (60 km/h).
The state of the system stays in the memory
when switching off the ignition.
Detection
If a deviation in direction is detected on
the left or the right, the indicator lamp on
the corresponding side flashes in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible signal.
No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is activated and for approximately 20
seconds after the direction indicator is switched
off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direction
marking (arrow) or non-standard marking
(graffiti) is crossed.
The detection may be impeded: – if the markings on the road are worn,
–

if there is little contrast between the
markings on the road and the road surface.
The system is automatically deactivated if the Stop & Start function is active. The
system will restart and re-enable recognition
of the operating conditions after the vehicle is
started.
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:
–

when the vehicle is carrying an excessive
load (even more so if it is poorly balanced);
–


under poor visibility conditions (rain, fog,
snow

, etc.);
–

under poor light conditions (dazzling
sunlight, darkness, etc.);
–


if the windscreen is dirty or damaged near
the camera;
–


if the
ABS, DSC, ASR or Intelligent Traction
Control systems are out of order.
