Driving

Use the cruise control only where the 
driving conditions allow running at a 
constant speed and at an adequate safe 
distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban 
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep 
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, or in 
conditions of poor visibility (heavy rain, 
fog, falling snow, etc.).
In some circumstances, it may not be 
possible to maintain or reach the cruise 
speed set: towing, vehicle heavily loaded, 
steep climb.

The use of mats not approved by 
PEUGEOT may interfere with the 
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-  ensure that the mat is positioned 

correctly,

-  do not fit one mat on top of another.

Dynamic cruise control 
with Stop function

This system provides two functions:
- 

automatic regulation of the 
vehicle speed at the value 
programmed by the driver,

- 

automatic adjustment of the 
distance between your vehicle 
and the vehicle in front, which 
can cause even the complete 
stoppage of your vehicle.

It manages the acceleration and deceleration 
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the 
engine and the braking system.
For this purpose, a radar is located in the front 
bumper.

Principles

Primarily designed for driving on main 
roads and motorways, this system only 
works on moving vehicles driving in the 
same direction as your vehicle.

It automatically adapts the speed of your 
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to maintain 
a constant distance.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly, the 
system slows, or even stops your vehicle, using 
engine braking and the braking system.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes 
lane, the cruise control progressively 
accelerates your vehicle to return to the 
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to 
overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise control 
allows your vehicle to temporarily approach 
the vehicle in front to assist the overtaking 
manoeuvre, though never exceeding the 
programmed speed.

208

Driving

The brake lamps illuminate as soon as 
the braking system is activated with 
deceleration of the vehicle.

The dynamic cruise control system 
is a driving aid that cannot, in any 
circumstances, replace the need to observe 
speed limits and safety distances, nor the 
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep 
your feet close to the pedals.
The driver must be ready to take back 
control of their vehicle at any time, using the 
brake or accelerator pedal as appropriate.

Driving

Switching on

The cruise control is switched on manually.
The speed of the vehicle must be between 
18 and 110 mph (30 and 180 km/h).
Automatic gearbox: in D or M mode.

When the cruise control is operating, Stop 
& Start is automatically deactivated.

12. Inter-vehicle distance setting.

13. Position of vehicle detected by the radar.

This information is visible in the instrument 
panel in the "DRIVING" display mode.

F  With the ignition on, turn the thumbwheel 1  

to the "CRUISE" position: cruise control 
mode is selected, but not started (grey).

F  Vehicle moving, press one of the  

buttons 2 or 3: the current speed of your 
vehicle becomes the cruise speed setting.

The cruise control is activated (green).
By default, the inter-vehicle distance is set at 
"Normal" (2 dashes).
Otherwise, the last setting made will be used 
when switching on the system.
Switching off the ignition cancels any 
programmed speed setting.

Pause

The dynamic cruise control can be paused 
manually by:
-  action by the driver:

•  on button 4,
•  on the brake pedal,
•  on the electric parking brake control,
•  when changing from D to N with an 

automatic gearbox.

-  or automatically, if operation of the ESC 

system is triggered for reasons of safety.

Following braking of the vehicle bringing 
it to a complete stop, the system holds 
the vehicle stationary; the cruise control 
is paused. The driver must press the 
accelerator pedal to start off again, then 
reactivate the system by exceeding 
18 mph (30 km/h) and by pressing  
button 2, 3 or 4.
If the driver takes no action following 
this immobilisation, the electric parking 
brake is applied automatically after a few 
minutes.

210

Driving

When the cruise control is paused, it 
can only be reactivated when all of the 
safety conditions are met. The message 
"Activation not possible, conditions 
unsuitable" is displayed while reactivation 
is not possible.
As a safety measure, wait until the current 
speed reaches the speed set to reactivate 
the function by pressing button 4.

Modification of the speed 
setting

Modification from the current 

speed

F  By successive short presses on button 2 or 3, 

to raise or lower the setting in steps of + or – 
1 mph (km/h).

F  By a maintained press on button 2 or 3, to 

raise or lower the setting in steps of + or – 
5 mph (5 km/h).

Take care: a prolonged press on  
button 2 or 3 will cause a very quick 
change in the speed of your vehicle.

Modification from the speed limit 

sign recognition system

F  The suggested speed is displayed in the 

instrument panel.

F  Make an initial press on button 5; a 

message is displayed to confirm the 
memorisation request.

F  Press button 5 again to save the suggested 

speed.

The speed displays immediately in the 
instrument panel as the new speed setting.

For more information on Recognition of 
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),
- "Close" (1 dash).

Engine running and cruise control on (green), 
you can modify the speed setting.

211

6

Driving

This setting remains in memory, whatever the 
state of the system and when the ignition is 
switched off.

Engine running and cruise control selected 
(grey), you can change the inter-vehicle 
distance setting:
F  Press button 6 to display the selection 

screen for inter-vehicle distance,

F  By repeatedly pressing button 6, scroll 

through the predefined setting levels.

The selection screen closes after a few 
seconds.
The change then takes effect.

Exceeding the programmed 
setting

It is possible to exceed the speed setting 
temporarily by depressing the accelerator 
pedal.
The cruise control no longer manages the 
braking system during this period.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return 
to the programmed speed.

If the programmed speed setting is exceeded, 
the display of the speed setting disappears 
and a message "Cruise control suspended" 
is displayed until the accelerator pedal is 
released.

Driving situations and 
associated alerts

To benefit from all necessary information on 
the instrument panel, you must previously 
select the "DRIVING" display mode.
The table below describes the alerts and 
messages displayed depending on the driving 
situation.
The display of these alerts is not sequential.

"Take back control of the vehicle"

The driver must take back control of the vehicle 
by accelerating or braking, depending on the 
circumstances.

 + 

"Take back control of the vehicle"

The system cannot manage the critical situation 
alone (emergency braking of the target vehicle, 
rapid insertion of another vehicle between the 
two vehicles).
The driver must immediately take back 
control of the vehicle.

or

"Activation not possible, 
conditions unsuitable"

The system refuses to activate the cruise 
control (speed outside the operating range, 
winding road).

or

according to the inter-vehicle

distance selected and the actual 

distance from the target vehicle

"Cruise control paused"
(for a few seconds)

The system has brought the vehicle to a 
complete stop and is holding it immobilised.
The driver must accelerate to move off again.
The cruise control remains paused until the 
driver reactivates it with the speed of the vehicle 
above 18 mph (30 km/h).

214

Driving

Operating limits

The system cannot exceed the limits of the 
laws of physics.

Not detected by the radar:
-  Pedestrians, cyclists, animals.
-  Stationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown, 

etc.).

-  Vehicles crossing the road lanes.
-  Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.

When the driver must suspend the cruise 
control system:
-  Vehicles in a bend.
-  When approaching a roundabout.
-  When following a narrow vehicle.
Reactivate cruise control when conditions 
permit.

Cases where the driver is prompted to take 
control back immediately:
-  Excessively sharp deceleration of the 

vehicle in front of you.

-  When a vehicle sharply cuts in between 

your vehicle and the one in front.

The system must not be activated:
-  When the "space-saver" spare wheel is 

being used (depending on version).

-  When towing.

Be particularly careful:
-  When motorcycles are present and 

when there are vehicles staggered 
onto the traffic lane.

-  When 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 
surface.
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.

215

6

Driving

The system is not intended for the 
following situations:
-  if the front end of the vehicle has 

been modified (addition of long-range 
headlamps, painting of the front 
bumper),

-  driving on a racing circuit,
-  running on a rolling stand,
-  use of snow chains, non-slip covers or 

studded tyres.

The use of mats not approved by 
PEUGEOT may interfere with the 
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-  ensure that mats are secured correctly,
-  never 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, 
etc.).
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 interfere with the operation of 
the radar.

Distance alert and Active 
Safety Brake

This system is a driving aid that includes three 
functions:
-  Distance alert (alert if there is a risk of 

collision),

-  Intelligent emergency braking assistance,
-  Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency 

braking).

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.

216

Driving

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:
-  vehicles running in the same direction or 

stationary,

-  pedestrians 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:
-  when towing a trailer,
-  when carrying long objects on roof bars or a 

roof rack,

-  before using an automatic car wash, with 

the engine running,

-  before placing the vehicle on a rolling stand 

in a workshop,

-  when the vehicle is being towed, with the 

engine running,

-  when 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.

-  following impact damage to the windscreen 

close to the detection camera,

-  if the front bumper has been damaged 

(version with radar),

-  if the brake lamps are not working.

217

6

Driving

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.

218

Driving

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 
and 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.

219

6

Driving

The camera may be disrupted or not work 
in the following situations:
-  poor visibility (inadequate street 

lighting, 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.),

-  obstruction of the camera or radar 

(mud, frost, snow, etc.).

In these situations, detection performance 
may be reduced.

Clean the windscreen regularly, 
particularly the area in front of the camera.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the 
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could 
conceal the detection camera.
Clean the front bumper, especially around 
the radar, removing mud, snow, etc.

If the front bumper is to be repainted or 
re-touched, contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop. Certain types of 
paint could interfere with the operation of 
the radar.

Fatigue detection system

It is recommended that you take a break as 
soon as you feel tired or at least every two 
hours.
Depending on version, the function either 
has the "Driving time warning" only, or this 
combined with the "Driver inattention alert".

The system cannot in any circumstances 
replace the need for vigilance on the part 
of the driver.
Do not take the wheel if you are tired.

Activation / Deactivation

The system is activated or deactivated via the 
vehicle configuration menu.
For more information on the menu, refer to the 
part covering your screen in the "Dashboard 
instruments" section.

The state of the system stays in memory when 
the ignition is switched off.

220

Driving

Driving time warning

The system triggers an alert once it 
detects that the driver has not taken 
a break after two hours of driving at 
a speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).

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 open.

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 inattention alert

Depending on version, the "Driving time 
warning" may be combined with the "Driver 
inattention alert".

After three first level alerts, the system triggers 
a new alert with the message "Take a break!", 
accompanied by a more pronounced audible 
signal.

In certain driving conditions (poor road 
surface or strong winds), the system may 
give alerts independent of the driver's 
level of vigilance.

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.

Using a camera placed at the top 
of the windscreen, the system 
assesses the driver's level of 
vigilance 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)).

When the system interprets the behaviour of 
the vehicle as indicating a certain fatigue or 
inattention threshold on the part of the driver, it 
triggers the first level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message 
"Take care!", accompanied by an audible 
signal.

221

6

Driving

The following situations may interfere with 
the operation of the system or prevent it 
working:
-  poor visibility (inadequate lighting of 

the roadway, 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 up, 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.

Lane Departure Warning 
System

System which, using a camera which 
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the 
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane 
markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses 
the image then, if the driver's attention drops 
and the speed is higher than 37 mph (60 km/h), 
triggers a warning if there is an unexpected 
change of direction.
This system is particularly useful on motorways 
and main roads.

Activation / Deactivation

This function cannot be deactivated on 
versions without a touch screen.

Activation and deactivation of the 
system is done in the Vehicle / 
Driving menu of the touch screen.

Select the "Driving functions" then the "Lane 
departure warning system" tab.

The system state remains in memory when the 
ignition is switched off.

Detection

If an unexpected change of direction 
is detected, you are alerted by 
this warning lamp flashing in the 
instrument panel and an audible 
signal.

No warning is transmitted while the direction 
indicator is active and for approximately 
20 seconds after the direction indicator is 
switched off.

This system is a driving aid which cannot, 
in any circumstances, replace the need for 
vigilance on the part of the driver.

222

Driving

Operating fault

If a fault occurs, this warning lamp 
comes on in the instrument panel, 
accompanied by a message and an 
audible signal.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

Active Lane Departure 
Warning System

Using a camera placed at the top of the 
windscreen to identify lane markings on the 
ground, this system corrects the trajectory of 
the vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects 
a risk of involuntary crossing of a line.
This system is particularly useful on motorways 
and main roads.

Conditions for operation

The speed of the vehicle must be between 
40 and 110 mph (65 and 180 km/h).
The carriageway must have at least one lane 
marking (solid or broken) on the ground.
The driver must hold the wheel with both 
hands.
The change of trajectory is not accompanied by 
operation of the direction indicators.
The ESC system must be activated.

This system is a driving aid which cannot, 
in any circumstances, replace the need 
for vigilance on the part of the driver. 
The driver should remain in control of the 
vehicle in all circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when 
there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily 
wandering from the lane it is being driven 
on. 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 taken back in circumstances 
where the system is not able to intervene 
(if lane markings disappear, for example).
It is necessary to observe the driving 
regulations and take a break every two 
hours.

Operation

Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle 
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings 
detected, it makes the correction to the 
trajectory required to return the vehicle to its 
initial path.
The driver will then notice a turning movement 
of the steering wheel.

This warning lamp flashes during 
trajectory correction.

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,

-  if the windscreen is dirty,
-  in certain weather conditions: fog, 

heavy rain, snow, shade, bright 
sunlight or direct exposure to the sun 
(low sun, leaving a tunnel, etc.).
