6– Following an impact to the windscreen close to 
the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated  after the use of certain "space-saver" 
type spare wheels is detected (smaller 
diameter).
The system is automatically deactivated 
after detection of a fault with the brake pedal 
switch or with at least two brake lamps.
It is possible that warnings are not given, 
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay in control of your 
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
It warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of 
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian 
present in their traffic lane.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision 
detected by the system and the alert threshold 
chosen by the driver, several different levels 
of alert may be triggered and displayed in the 
instrument panel.
They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the 
speeds of your vehicle and the one in front, the 
environmental conditions and the operation of 
the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals, 
etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.
Level 1 (orange): visual alert only, 
signalling that the vehicle in front is very 
close.
The message "
Vehicle close" is displayed.
Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert, 
signalling that a collision is imminent.
The message "
Brake!" is displayed.
Level 3: finally, in some cases, a haptic alert 
in the form of micro-braking can be given, 
confirming the risk of collision.
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 never displayed 
for a stationary obstacle or 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 moving or stationary 
vehicle 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 pre-defined 
thresholds:
–
 
"Distant",
–
 
"Normal",
–
 
"Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised 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.

Driving
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 under 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) when a moving 
vehicle is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for about  10   seconds) once the function is acting on 
the vehicle's brakes.
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.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic 
emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a 
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the  vehicle at any time by sharply turning the 
steering wheel and/or pressing 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.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated 
at every engine start.
This 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 system malfunction, this 
warning lamp comes on on the instrument 
panel, accompanied by an onscreen message 
and an audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
If these warning lamps come on 
after the engine has been switched 
off and then restarted, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the 
system checked.
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 
and at the edges of the road (depending on 
version), the system corrects the trajectory of the 
vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects a risk 
of unintentionally crossing a line or hard shoulder 
(depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motorways 
and main roads.
 
 
Conditions for operation
–  The speed of the vehicle must be between 40 
and 112 mph (65 and 180 km/h).
–  The traffic lane must be delimited by a dividing 
line.
–  The driver must hold the wheel with both 
hands.
–  The change of trajectory must not be 
accompanied by operation of the direction 
indicators.
–  The ESC system must be activated and not 
faulty.
The system helps the driver only when  there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily 
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It

Conditions for operation
– The speed of the vehicle must be between 40 
and 1 12 mph (65 and 180   km/h).
–
 
The traffic lane must be delimited by a dividing 
line.
–
 
The driver must hold the wheel with both 
hands.
–
 
The change of trajectory must not be 
accompanied by operation of the direction 
indicators.
–
 
The ESC system must be activated and not 
faulty
.
The system helps the driver only when there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily 
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It 
does not manage the safe driving distance, 
the speed of the vehicle or the brakes.
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 (for example, if 
the dividing line marking disappears).
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 correction to the trajectory necessary 
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 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 voluntary and no correction is triggered during 
this period.
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.

"Hold the wheel" –
 
If, while correcting the trajectory
 , the system detects 
that the driver has not held the steering wheel for a few 
seconds, it interrupts the correction and returns control to 
the driver.
–  If, while correcting the trajectory , the system determines 
that the correction will not be enough and that a solid line 
will be crossed (orange line): the driver is warned that they 
must provide additional trajectory adjustment.
The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple 
corrections are performed in quick succession. The 
warning will become continuous, persisting until the driver 
responds.
This message may also be displayed if you have your 
hands on the steering wheel.
Operating limits
The system goes into standby automatically in 
the following cases:
–
 
ESC deactivated or operation triggered,
–

malfunction, these warning lamps 
come on on the instrument panel, accompanied 
by an onscreen message and an audible signal.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Blind Spot Monitoring 
System
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
This system includes sensors, placed on the 
sides of the bumpers, and warns the driver of 
the potentially dangerous presence of another 
vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle) in the blind spot 
areas of their vehicle (areas hidden
  from   the 
driver's field of vision).
 
 
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the 
side in question:
–
 
fixed
 , immediately, when being overtaken;
– flashing , after a delay of about one second, 
when overtaking a vehicle slowly , and when the 
direction indicator is used.
Activation / Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is  set via the vehicle 
configuration menu.
The system state remains in memory  when the ignition is switched off.
The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towbar approved by 
PEUGEOT.
Conditions for operation

 .
–
 
In very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in 
front and behind are confused with a lorry or a 
stationary object.
Malfunction
If the event of malfunction, this warning 
lamp comes on in the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary  interference in certain weather conditions 
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet surface 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.
Take 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 correct 
operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot  Monitoring System
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door 
mirror on the side in question, a correction of 
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross a 
lane marking with the direction indicators on, to 
help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active 
Lane Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot 
Monitoring System.
These two functions must be activated and in 
operation.   
Page 128 of 260

126
Driving
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40 
and 87 mph (65 and 140  km/h) inclusive.
These functions are especially suitable for 
driving on motorways and main roads.
For more information on the  Active Lane 
Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot 
Monitoring System , refer to the corresponding 
sections.
This system is a driving aid which  cannot, in any circumstances, replace 
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Distraction detection
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Take a break in case of feeling tired or at least 
every 2 hours.
Depending on version, the function comprises 
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
The function is activated or  deactivated via the vehicle 
configuration menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory 
when the ignition is switched off.
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 you 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:
–
 
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.
The driving time is counted again once the 
speed is 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.
The following situations may interfere  with the operation of the system or 
prevent it from working:
–  poor visibility (inadequate lighting of the 
road, falling snow, heavy rain, dense fog, 
etc.);
–  dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, 
low sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving a 
tunnel, alternating shade and light, etc.);
–  windscreen area located in front of the 
camera: dirty, misted, frost-covered, snow-
covered, damaged or covered by a sticker.
–  lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow, 
mud) or multiple (roadworks, etc.);
–  close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings 
not detected);
–  roads that are narrow, winding, etc.
In certain driving conditions (poor road 
surface or strong winds), the system may 
give alerts independent of the driver's level of 
vigilance.

Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
Using sensors located in the bumper, this 
system signals the proximity of obstacles 
(e.g.
  pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in 
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse 
gear, which is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when disengaging 
reverse gear.
Audible assistance 
 
The system signals the presence of obstacles 
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone 
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of 
the steering wheel.
 
 
Depending on version, in the example shown, 
only the obstacles present in the shaded area 
will be signalled by the audible assistance.
The proximity information is given by an 
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of 
which increases as the vehicle approaches the 
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and 
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty 
centimetres, the audible signal becomes 
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or 
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is 
located.
Adjusting the audible signalWith PEUGEOT Connect Radio or 
PEUGEOT Connect Nav, pressing 
this button opens the window for adjusting the 
volume of the audible signal.   
Page 130 of 260

128
Driving
Visual assistance 
 
It supplements the audible assistance, without 
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by 
displaying bars on the screen that represent the 
distance between the obstacle and the vehicle 
(white: more distant obstacles, orange: close 
obstacles, red: very close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger" 
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front 
parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle 
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle 
is still below 6 mph (10  km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if the 
vehicle stops for more than three seconds in 
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected 
or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6
  mph 
(10
  km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle in relation to 
the vehicle, in the vehicle trajectory, in front or 
behind.
Side parking sensors 
 
Using four additional sensors located on the 
sides of the front and rear bumpers, the system 
records the position of fixed obstacles during 
the manoeuvre and signals them when they are 
located by the sides of the vehicle.
Only fixed obstacles are signalled 
correctly. Moving obstacles detected at 
the beginning of the manoeuvre may be 
signalled mistakenly, while moving obstacles 
which appear at the sides of the vehicle and 
which were not previously recorded will not be 
signalled.
The objects memorised during the  manoeuvre will no longer be stored after 
switching off the ignition.

by an onscreen message and an audible signal 
(short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
Reversing camera
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
With the ignition on, this system uses a camera 
located near the third brake lamp to display 
a view of the rear of your vehicle on the 
reproduction screen (if it is a panel van or has a 
solid partition).
The reversing camera is activated automatically 
when reverse gear is engaged. The image 
is displayed on the reproduction screen. The 
reproduction screen switches off when the 
gearbox is in neutral or in a forward gear.
