Driving

At speeds below 3 mph (5 km/h), 

opening the driver’s door will engage 

mode 

P

 - risk of sudden braking!

In the event of battery failure, it is 

essential to place the chock(s) supplied 

with the tool kit against one of the wheels to 

immobilise the vehicle.

Special aspects of automatic mode

These functions respond to common driving 

situations where the electric motor is available 

to provide additional power or zero-emission 

driving.

These functions are only available if the 

traction battery is sufficiently charged.

These five functions cannot be deactivated.

e-Launch

With the petrol engine off, this function allows the 

vehicle to run in electric mode without affecting 

performance.

By depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle 

starts to drive as soon as the mode 

D

 or 

R

 of the 

automatic gearbox is selected.

e-Creeping

With the petrol engine off, by releasing the 

brake pedal, this function allows the vehicle to 

be moved forward or backward in electric mode 

without having to depress the accelerator pedal, 

as soon as the mode 

D

 or 

R

 of the automatic 

gearbox is selected.

e-Queueing

This function makes it possible to follow a 

queue of vehicles with several stops followed 

by restarts of the vehicle, using the e-Creeping, 

e-Launch and electric driving modes.

e-Parking

This function allows parking manoeuvres to be 

carried out at reduced speed with the help of 

the electric motor when the mode 

D

 or 

R

 of the 

automatic gearbox is selected.

e-Boost

This function allows simultaneous operation 

of the petrol engine and the electric motor, 

combined with the automatic gearbox.

By fully depressing the accelerator pedal ("kick-

down" function), when the traction battery is fully 

charged, it is possible to exceed the torque of 

the petrol engine alone, thanks to the additional 

torque provided by the electric motor.

Repeated use of the brake pedal causes 

the restart of petrol engine to provide 

braking assistance.

Special aspects of manual mode

The gearbox only changes from one gear to 

another if the vehicle speed and engine speed 

conditions permit.

The petrol engine can also be switched off in 

manual mode when stopped in traffic or when 

the accelerator pedal is released.

The all-electric potential of the driving mode 

used (

Normal

 or 

Eco

) is also retained.

Using the steering wheel paddles also 

causes the restarting of petrol engine.

If high traction is required, the driver can 

deactivate the e-Auto mode using the touch 

screen menu.

Starting the vehicle

►  Fully depress the brake pedal.

►  Start the petrol engine by depressing the 

brake pedal until the engine is running at a 

stabilised engine speed.

►  With your foot on the brake pedal, push once 

or twice backwards to select automatic mode 

D

or forwards to shift into reverse gear 

R

.

►  Release the brake pedal.

►  Accelerate gradually to automatically release 

the electric parking brake.

The petrol engine may stop after the first start if 

operating conditions allow (e.g. state of charge 

of the traction battery, external temperature, 

efficiency of the catalytic converter, torque 

demand, selected driving mode, thermal comfort 

of the passenger compartment).

Then, the vehicle moves off immediately in all-

electric (e-Launch function).

Switching the vehicle off

Regardless of the current gearbox mode, 

mode 

P

 is immediately engaged automatically 

when the ignition is switched off.

However, in mode 

N

, mode 

P

 will be engaged 

after a delay of 5 seconds (time to enable free-

wheeling mode).

Check that mode 

P

 has been engaged and 

that the electric parking brake was applied 

automatically; if not, apply it manually.

The corresponding indicator lamps on the 

gear selector and the electric parking 

brake control must be on, as well as the indicator 

lamps on the instrument panel.

Gearbox malfunction

This warning lamp comes on, 

accompanied by an audible signal and 

the display of a message.

Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 

workshop.

Do not drive faster than 62 mph (100 km/h), 

keeping to the speed limit.

Switching of the gearbox to back-up mode

Depending on the malfunction, the gearbox only 

shifts in odd or even gears, locks in one gear or 

loses some gears.

The paddles on the steering wheel do not work 

and mode 

M

 is no longer accessible.

You may feel a significant jolt on engaging 

reverse gear. This will not damage the gearbox.

Selector malfunction

Minor malfunction

This warning lamp comes on, 

accompanied by the display of a message 

and an audible signal.

Drive carefully.

Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 

workshop.

In some cases, the selector indicator lamps may 

no longer come on, but the gearbox state is still 

displayed on the instrument panel.

Major malfunction

This warning lamp comes on, 

accompanied by the display of a 

message.

You must stop the vehicle.

Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and 

switch off the ignition.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 

workshop.

Hill start assist

This system keeps the vehicle briefly stationary 

(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill 

start, while you transfer your foot from the brake 

pedal to the accelerator pedal.

The system is only active when:

–  The vehicle is completely stationary, with your 

foot on the brake pedal.

–  Certain slope conditions are met.

–  The driver’s door is closed.

Do not leave the vehicle while it is being 

held temporarily by hill start assist.

If someone needs to get out of the vehicle 

with the engine running, apply the parking 

brake manually. Then check that the parking 

brake indicator lamp and the 

P

 indicator lamp 

in the electric parking brake control are on 

fixed.

The hill start assist function cannot be 

deactivated. However, using the parking 

brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its 

operation.

Operation

 

 

Facing uphill, with the vehicle stationary, 

the vehicle is held for a short time when the 

driver releases the brake pedal:

–  If first gear or neutral is engaged on a manual 

gearbox.

–  If mode 

D

 or 

M

 is selected on an automatic 

gearbox.

132

Driving

 

 

Facing downhill, with the vehicle stationary 

and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held 

for a short time when the driver releases the 

brake pedal.

Malfunction

If the event of a malfunction, these 

warning lamps light up on the 

instrument panel, accompanied by the display of 

a message.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

Driving modes

The driving modes available depend on the 

engine and equipment of the vehicle.

Driving modes are selected using one of the 

following controls, depending on version:

 

 

 

 

1.

Pressing the control activates 

Eco

 mode. The 

indicator lamp comes on.

2.

Pressing the control activates 

Sport

 mode. 

The indicator lamp comes on.

3.

Pressing the control displays the modes on 

the instrument panel.

When the message disappears, the selected 

mode is activated and remains indicated on the 

instrument panel (except 

Normal mode).

With petrol, Diesel or hybrid 

engines

Whenever the ignition is switched on, 

Normal

 

driving mode is selected by default.

Normal

To restore the default settings.

Eco

To reduce energy consumption by reducing the 

performance of the heating and air conditioning, 

without deactivating them.

Sport

With a manual gearbox: to obtain more dynamic 

driving with action on the power steering, 

accelerator and the possibility of displaying the 

vehicle’s dynamic settings on the instrument 

panel.

With an automatic gearbox: to obtain more 

dynamic driving with action on the power 

steering, accelerator, gear changes and 

possibility of displaying the vehicle’s dynamic 

settings on the instrument panel.

The selection of the 

Sport

 mode deactivates the 

Stop & Start function / e-Auto mode.

Coasting mode (Petrol or Diesel)

Depending on version or engine, with an 

EAT8 gearbox and the gear selector in mode 

D

, except in 

Sport

 mode, gradually and fully 

releasing the accelerator pedal allows free-

wheeling which can save fuel.

A drop in engine speed is normal (rev counter 

at idle, drop in engine noise).

With rechargeable hybrid 

engines

Whenever the ignition is switched on, 

Electric

 

driving mode is selected by default.

133

Driving

6

Electric

Allows driving using 100% electrical energy. 

The maximum speed is approximately 84 mph 

(135 km/h).

When starting the vehicle, if the conditions do 

not allow the activation or retention of 

Electric

 

mode, the message "

Electric mode currently 

unavailable

" is displayed on the instrument 

panel. The vehicle automatically changes to 

Hybrid

 mode.

If an LED comes on under the interior rear view 

mirror, visible from outside the vehicle, this 

confirms that you are driving in 

Electric

 mode 

(depending on country of sale).

The LED can be deactivated by inserting 

the tip of a paper clip or other similar 

object into the hole located underneath the 

interior rear view mirror.

Conditions of activation

–  Adequate battery charge level. Charging 

the vehicle after each drive is therefore 

recommended. 

Electric

 mode is available as 

long as there is power left in the battery.

–  Outside temperature between approximately 

-5°C and 45°C. 

Manually exiting the mode

►  Fully depress the accelerator pedal, or

►  Select another mode.

In case of non-use of the vehicle for a 

long period (several months), a restart of 

the petrol engine may occur even if the 

battery is charged.

In the event of multiple starts of the 

internal combustion engine without a 

sufficient rise in 

temperature, 

Electric

 mode may be 

temporarily unavailable (natural phenomenon 

of dilution of fuel in oil). The message 

"

Electric mode unavailable: automatic 

operation in progress

" then appears on the 

instrument panel.

To regain normal electrical operation, drive 

approximately 50 miles (80 km) in "motorway" 

conditions or approximately 125 miles (200 

km) in urban conditions.

This phenomenon does not cause any 

mechanical or electrical damage. It can occur 

several times in the life of the vehicle.

Hybrid

To optimise the vehicle's fuel consumption by 

managing the 

alternating or simultaneous 

operation of the two types of engine

depending on driving conditions and driving 

style.

In 

Hybrid

 mode, it is possible to drive in 100% 

electric mode if the battery charge level is 

sufficient and acceleration requirements are 

moderate.

Sport

To obtain more dynamic driving in order to 

benefit from the maximum performance of the 

vehicle.

Electric power is used to supplement the petrol 

engine as long as there is energy left in the 

battery.

4WD (4-wheel drive)

(Depending on version)

Improves the vehicle's grip at low and moderate 

speeds by driving all 4 wheels continuously.

4WD

 mode (4-wheel drive) is especially 

suited to driving on snow-covered roads and 

difficult terrain (e.g. mud, sand) as well as ford 

crossings, at moderate speed.

Depending on the driving conditions and the 

battery charge level, 

4WD

 mode may be 100% 

electric.

If the system does not detect a situation of wheel 

slipping or poor grip after 300 metres of driving, it 

switches to 

Hybrid

 mode.

This mode will be even more effective if 

the vehicle is fitted with suitable tyres, 

such as winter tyres.

The grip can be improved up to 84 mph 

(135 km/h) using the electric motors; above this 

speed, the vehicle is driven by the front wheels 

only.

134

Driving

Gear shift indicator

(Depending on engine)

This system is designed to reduce fuel 

consumption by recommending the most suitable 

gear.

Operation

Depending on the driving situation and 

the vehicle's equipment, the system may 

recommend skipping one or more gears.

Gear engagement recommendations are 

not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the 

configuration of the road, the traffic density and 

safety remain determining factors when choosing 

the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains 

responsible for deciding whether or not to follow 

the system’s advice.

The system cannot be deactivated.

With an automatic gearbox, the system is 

only active in manual operation.

The information appears on the 

instrument panel, in the form of an arrow 

and the recommended gear.

The system adapts the gear change 

instructions according to the driving 

conditions (e.g. slope, load) and driving style 

(e.g. power demand, acceleration, braking).

The system never suggests:

–  engaging first gear;

–  engaging reverse gear.

Stop & Start (Petrol or 

Diesel)

The Stop & Start function puts the engine 

temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during 

phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g. red 

lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically 

restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver 

indicates the intention of moving off again.

Primarily designed for urban use, the function 

is intended to reduce fuel consumption and 

exhaust emissions as well as the noise level 

when stationary.

The function does not affect the functionalities of 

the vehicle, in particular the braking.

Deactivation/Reactivation

The function is 

activated

 by default when the 

ignition is switched on.

The settings are changed via the 

Driving

/

Vehicle

 touch screen menu.

A message on the instrument panel confirms the 

change of status.

When the function is deactivated, if the engine 

was in standby, it restarts immediately.

Associated indicator lamps

Function activated. 

Function deactivated or malfunction. 

Opening the bonnet

Before doing anything under the bonnet, 

deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid 

any risk of injury caused by the engine 

restarting automatically.

Driving on flooded roads

Before entering into a flooded area, it is 

strongly recommended that you deactivate 

the Stop & Start system.

For more information on 

Driving 

recommendations

, particularly on flooded 

roads, refer to the corresponding section.

Operation

Main conditions for operation

–  The driver’s door must be closed.

–  The driver's seat belt must be fastened.

–  The level of charge in the battery must be 

sufficient.

–  The temperature of the engine must be within 

its nominal operating range.

135

Driving

6

–  The outside temperature must be between 

0°C and 35°C.

Putting the engine into standby 

(STOP mode)

The engine automatically enters standby mode 

as soon as the driver indicates their intention to 

stop:

– 

With a manual gearbox,

 at speeds below 2 

mph (3 km/h) on BlueHDi versions, or with the 

vehicle stationary on 1.2 PureTech versions, 

when you place the gear lever in neutral and 

release the clutch pedal.

– 

With an automatic gearbox,

 at speeds below 

12 mph (20 km/h) on BlueHDi versions, or with 

the vehicle stationary on other versions, when 

you depress the brake pedal or place the gear 

selector in mode 

N

.

Time counter

A time counter adds up the time spent in standby 

during the journey. It is reset to zero every time 

the ignition is switched on.

Special cases

The engine will not go into standby if the 

conditions for operation are not met and in the 

following cases:

–  Steep slope (ascending or descending).

–  Vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h) 

since the last engine start.

–  Sport mode selected (depending on 

equipment).

–  Electric parking brake applied or being 

applied.

–  Needed to maintain a comfortable temperature 

in the passenger compartment.

–  Demisting active.

In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes 

for a few seconds, then goes off.

After the engine has restarted, STOP 

mode is not available until the vehicle 

has reached a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).

During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode 

is not available for a few seconds after 

coming out of reverse gear or turning the 

steering wheel.

Restarting the engine (START mode)

The engine automatically restarts as soon as the 

driver indicates the intention of moving off again:

With a manual gearbox:

 when the clutch pedal 

is fully depressed.

With an automatic gearbox:

–  With the selector in mode 

D

 or 

M

: when the 

brake pedal is released.

–  With the selector in mode 

N

 and the brake 

pedal released: when the mode 

D

 or 

M

 is 

selected.

–  With the selector in mode 

P

 and the brake 

pedal depressed: when the mode 

R

N

D

 or 

M

 

is selected.

–  When the reverse gear is engaged.

Special cases

The engine will restart automatically if the 

conditions for operation are met again and in the 

following cases:

–  Vehicle speed exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h) with 

2.0 BlueHDi versions with automatic gearbox in 

mode 

D

, or 2 mph (3 km/h) with other versions.

–  The electric parking brake is being applied.

–  Deselecting the Sport mode (depending on 

equipment).

In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes 

for a few seconds, then goes off.

Malfunctions

In the event of a fault with the system, this 

warning lamp flashes for a few moments 

on the instrument panel, then remains on, 

accompanied by the display of a message.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

The vehicle stalls in STOP mode

All of the instrument panel warning lamps come 

on if there is a fault.

►  Switch off the ignition then start the engine 

again with the key or the "

START/STOP

" button.

12 V battery

The Stop & Start system requires a 

12 V battery of specific technology and 

specification.

All work must be carried out only by a 

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop

136

Driving

e-Auto mode (Hybrid)

The petrol engine stops when low power or 

torque is required and in stabilised conditions.

The petrol engine is restarted by the belt starter.

The e-Auto mode can switch off the petrol 

engine in the following cases:

–  When the operating strategies permit.

–  Vehicle speed up to 90 mph (145 km/h).

–  When the driver releases the accelerator 

pedal in stabilised conditions or in deceleration.

–  During the stop phases.

Restarting is only achieved by the belt starter 

until the torque demand is available, if the 

traction battery is sufficiently charged. When the 

torque demand is insufficient, the petrol engine 

restarts.

Using the steering wheel paddles also 

causes the restarting of petrol engine.

The e-Auto mode cannot switch off the petrol 

engine in the following cases:

–  The state of charge is less than 30% of the 

traction battery energy.

–  There is a need for vacuum brake assist 

depending on the altitude.

–  The Sport mode is selected.

–  Maintaining thermal comfort in the passenger 

compartment (heating, air conditioning, 

demisting/defrosting).

Deactivation/Reactivation

By default, the function is activated when the 

ignition is switched on.

In the 

Driving

/

Vehicle

 touch screen 

menu, select 

Stop & Start

.

The display of a message on the instrument 

panel confirms the change of state.

Function deactivated, this indicator lights 

up in the instrument panel.

If high traction is required, the driver can 

deactivate the e-Auto mode using the 

touch screen menu.

Tyre under-inflation 

detection

This system alerts the driver if one or more tyres 

suffer a drop in pressure.

The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving, 

not when stationary.

It compares the information given by the wheel 

speed sensors with 

reference values, which 

must be reinitialised every time the tyre 

pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed

.

It takes into account the last values stored 

during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore 

essential that the tyre pressure is correct during 

the operation. This operation is the driver’s 

responsibility.

The tyre under-inflation detection cannot, 

in any circumstances, replace the need 

for vigilance on the part of the driver.

This system does not avoid the need to 

regularly check the tyre pressures (including 

the spare wheel), especially before a long 

journey.

Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly 

in adverse conditions (heavy load, high 

speed, long journey):

–  worsens road-holding.

–  lengthens braking distances.

–  causes premature wear of the tyres.

–  increases energy consumption.

The inflation pressures defined for the 

vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure 

label.

For more information on the 

Identification 

markings

, refer to the corresponding section.

Checking tyre pressures

This check should be done monthly 

when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 

1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles 

(10 km) at moderate speeds).

Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures 

shown on the label.

137

Driving

6

Snow chains

The system does not have to be 

reinitialised after fitting or removing snow 

chains.

Under-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.

►  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 system is 

reinitialised.

Reinitialisation

The system must be reinitialised after any 

adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres, 

and after changing one or more wheels.

Before reinitialising the system, make 

sure that the pressures of the four tyres 

are correct for the conditions of use of the 

vehicle and conform to the values written on 

the tyre pressure label.

Check the pressures of the four tyres before 

performing the reinitialisation.

The system does not advise if a pressure is 

incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

With the vehicle stationary, the system is 

reinitialised via the 

Driving/Vehicle

 touch 

screen menu.

►  In this menu, select the “

Vehicle settings

” 

tab.

►  On this page, select the "

 Under-inflation 

initialisation

" function.

►  Select "

Yes

" to confirm.

The reinitialisation is confirmed by the display of 

a message and an audible signal.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, 

these warning lamps light up on 

the instrument panel.

A message appears, accompanied by an audible 

signal.

In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring 

function is no longer performed.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

Non-standard or 'space-saver' spare 

wheel

The use of this type of spare wheel may 

suspend tyre pressure monitoring.

In this case, the malfunction warning lamp 

comes on and disappears once the wheel 

has been replaced by one of uniform size (the 

same as the others), the pressure readjusted 

and the reinitialisation carried out.

138

Driving

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 

the 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 (e.g. inadequate street lighting, 

heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle 

(e.g. 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 

139

Driving

6

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 

units of speed so that it complies with what is 

authorised locally.

In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer 

or a qualified workshop.

Memorising speeds

This function, used only for the speed limiter 

and programmable cruise control, lets you 

save speed settings that will subsequently be 

proposed for the purpose of configuring these 

two systems.

You can memorise multiple speed settings for 

each of the two systems.

By default, some speed settings are already 

memorised.

Cruise 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.

146

Driving

–  In heavy traffic (except versions with the 

Stop & Go function).

Drive Assist Plus

Only available on versions with e-DCS6 or EAT8 

automatic gearbox.

This system automatically adjusts the speed 

and corrects the trajectory of the vehicle, using 

Adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go function in 

conjunction with Lane positioning assist.

These two functions must be activated and in 

operation.

148

Driving

For more information on 

Adaptive cruise 

control

 and 

Lane positioning assist

, refer to 

the corresponding sections.

The system assists the driver by acting 

on the steering, acceleration and braking 

within the physical limits and capacities of the 

vehicle. Certain road infrastructure elements 

or vehicles in the surroundings may not be 

properly seen or may be poorly interpreted by 

the camera and radar, resulting in an 

unexpected change in direction, a lack of 

steering correction and/or inappropriate 

management of acceleration or braking.

Primarily designed for driving on main 

roads and motorways, this system only 

works with moving vehicles driving in the 

same direction as your vehicle.

Adaptive cruise control

For more information, refer to the 

General recommendations on the use 

of driving and manoeuvring aids

 and the 

Specific recommendations on cruise 

control

.

This system automatically maintains the vehicle 

speed at a value set by the driver (speed 

setting), while respecting a safety distance from 

the vehicle in front (target vehicle) previously set 

by the driver. The system automatically manages 

the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle.

With a manual gearbox, the system slows the 

vehicle down as far as a speed of 19 mph 

(30 km/h).

With the 

Stop function

 (with the EAT6 automatic 

gearbox), the system manages braking until the 

vehicle comes to a complete stop.

With the 

Stop & Go function

 (with the e-DCS6 

or EAT8 automatic gearbox), the system 

manages braking until the vehicle comes to a 

complete stop and restarts the vehicle.

The brake lamps come on if the vehicle 

is slowed down by the system.

It can be dangerous to drive if the brake 

lamps are not in perfect working order.

 

 

To do this, the system uses a camera fitted at 

the top of the windscreen and, depending on 

version, a radar fitted in the front bumper.

Primarily designed for driving on main 

roads and motorways, this system only 

works with moving vehicles driving in the 

same direction as your vehicle.

If the driver activates the direction 

indicator to overtake a slower vehicle, 

cruise control may temporarily reduce the 

distance to the target vehicle to facilitate 

overtaking, without exceeding the speed 

setting.

cyclists, pedestrians and animals, as 

they may not be detected properly.

Operating limits

Cruise control operates by day and night, in dry 

weather or moderate rainfall.

Certain situations cannot be managed by the 

system and require driver intervention.

Cases not taken into account by the system:

–  Pedestrians, cyclists, animals.

–  Stationary vehicles (e.g. traffic jams, 

breakdown).

 

 

–  Vehicles crossing your lane.

–  Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.

Situations where the driver must suspend the 

system:

 

 

–  Vehicles in a tight bend.

–  When approaching a roundabout.

 

 

–  When following a narrow vehicle.

Reactivate the system when conditions allow.

Situations in which the driver is prompted to 

immediately resume control:

–  Excessively sharp deceleration by the vehicle 

in front of you.

 

 

–  When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your 

vehicle and the one in front.

Some vehicles on the road may be 

poorly perceived or interpreted by the 

camera and/or the radar (e.g. truck), which 

can lead to an incorrect evaluation of 

distances and result in inappropriate 

acceleration or braking of the vehicle.

Pay particular attention:

–  When motorcycles are present and 

when there are vehicles staggered across the 

traffic lane.

–  When entering a tunnel or crossing a 

bridge.

If any of the following malfunctions 

occurs, do not use the system:

–  Following an impact on the windscreen 

close to the camera or on the front bumper 

(versions with radar).

–  Brake lamps not working.

If the vehicle has undergone any of the 

following modifications, do not use the 

system:

–  Carrying long objects on roof bars.

– Towing.

–  Use of the "space-saver" type spare wheel 

(depending on version).

–  Front end of the vehicle modified (for 

example by adding long-range headlamps or 

painting the front bumper).

–  Obstructed radar.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, 

dashes are displayed instead of 

the speed setting.

This warning lamp comes on, 

accompanied by a message and an 

audible signal, to confirm the malfunction.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

Lane positioning assist

For more information, refer to the 

General recommendations on the use

.

 

 

The system identifies the edges of the traffic lane 

and steers the vehicle to keep it inside this lane 

and maintain the lateral position chosen by the 

driver.

To do this, the system uses a camera placed on 

the upper part of the windscreen.

This system is particularly suited to driving on 

motorways and main roads.

Operating conditions

–  Adaptive cruise control active.

– 

Traffic lane marked out by lines on both sides.

–  ESC system operational.

–  ASR/CDS systems activated.

–  No trailer detected.

–  No 'space-saver' spare wheel in use.

–  Vehicle not subject to strong lateral 

acceleration.

–  Direction indicators off upon activation of the 

system.

Activation/Deactivation

 

 

 

 

►  With the Adaptive cruise control with Stop & 

Go function activated, press this button.

The action is confirmed by:

–  The indicator lamp in the button lighting up 

green.

–  The following symbol being displayed on the 

instrument panel.

The colour of the symbol on the instrument panel 

depends on the operating status of the system:

(grey colour)

One or more operating conditions is not 

met; the system is paused.

(green colour)

All operating conditions are met; the 

system is active.

(orange colour)

System malfunction.

If the driver no longer wishes to use the system 

for a while, they can deactivate it by pressing the 

button again.

The indicator lamp in the button goes off and the 

symbol disappears from the instrument panel.

The system status is saved when the 

ignition is switched off.

Cruise control

The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.

When cruise control is activated, the symbol is 

displayed in green: by small steering actions, 

the system directs the vehicle and keeps it in the 

position chosen by the driver, in the traffic lane. 

This position is not necessarily the centre of the 

lane.

The driver can feel movements in the steering 

wheel.

The driver can change the position of the vehicle 

at any time, by turning the steering wheel, which 

suspends the function. The driver positions the 

vehicle where they wish to in the lane. When 

the driver feels that the vehicle’s position is 

appropriate, they maintain it until the function 

is reactivated. The system regains control by 

regulating on the new defined position. 

Pausing/Suspending the 

system

The driver must act promptly if they 

believe that the traffic conditions or the 

state of the road surface require their 

intervention, by moving the steering wheel to 

temporarily suspend system operation. Any 

intervention on the brake pedal that causes 

153

Driving

6

the Adaptive cruise control to pause will also 

cause the system to pause.

If the system detects that the driver is not 

holding the wheel firmly enough, it 

triggers a series of gradual alerts and then 

deactivates itself if there is no response from 

the driver.

If the function is suspended due to the 

prolonged release of the force holding 

the steering wheel, the function must be 

reactivated by pressing the button again.

Automatic pause

–  Triggering of the ESC.

–  Prolonged failure to detect one of the lane 

limit markings. In this case, the Lane keeping 

assist function can take over, and the system will 

reactivate itself once the operating conditions are 

met again.

In response to action by the driver: 

suspension

–  Activation of the direction indicators.

–  Travelling outside the lane limits.

–  Too tight a grip on the steering wheel or 

dynamic action on the steering wheel.

–  Action on the brake pedal (resulting in a pause 

until cruise control is reactivated) or accelerator 

pedal (suspension for as long as the pedal is 

depressed).

–  Pausing of Adaptive cruise control.

–  Deactivation of the DSC/ASR systems.

Operating limits

The system may issue an alert when the 

vehicle is travelling on a long, straight 

road with smooth road surface even if the 

driver thinks they are holding the steering 

wheel correctly.

The system may not operate or may produce 

unsuitable corrections to the steering in the 

following situations:

–  Poor visibility (insufficient road lighting, 

snowfall, rain, fog).

–  Dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, 

low sun, reflections on a wet road surface, 

leaving a tunnel, alternating light and shade).

–  Windscreen area in front of the camera 

dirty, misted up, frost-covered, snow-covered, 

damaged or covered by a sticker.

–  Lane markings eroded, partially hidden (snow, 

mud) or multiple (roadworks, surface joints).

–  Travelling in a tight bend.

–  Winding roads.

–  Presence of a tarmac joint on the road.

Risk of undesirable operation

The system should be deactivated in the 

following situations:

–  Driving with a "space-saver" type spare 

wheel.

–  When towing or with a bicycle carrier 

attached to a towing device, particularly when 

a trailer is not connected or the trailer is not 

an approved type.

–  Adverse weather conditions.

–  Driving on slippery road surfaces (risk of 

aquaplaning, snow, ice).

–  In roadworks or toll booth areas.

–  Driving on racing circuits.

–  Driving on a rolling road.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, the 

Service warning lamp comes on 

and this (orange) symbol appears on the 

instrument panel, accompanied by the display of 

a message and an audible signal.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

Lane keeping assist

For more information, refer to the 

General recommendations on the use 

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

The system corrects the vehicle's trajectory by 

alerting the driver as soon as it detects a risk of 

involuntary lane departure or crossing of a verge 

or hard shoulder (depending on version).

To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on 

the upper part of the windscreen, identifying the 

lane markings on the ground and the side of the 

road (depending on version).

This system is particularly useful on 

motorways and main roads.

 

 

Operating conditions

–  Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70 

and 180 km/h).

–  Road marked with a central dividing line.

–  Steering wheel held with both hands.

–  Direction indicators off upon activation of the 

system.

–  ESC system activated and operational.

The system helps the driver only if there 

is a risk of the vehicle unintentionally 

wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It 

does not manage the safe driving distance, 

vehicle speed or braking.

The driver must hold the steering wheel with 

both hands so that they can maintain control 

when the conditions no longer allow the 

system to intervene (e.g. in the event that 

the central dividing line marking on the road 

surface disappears).

Operation

As soon as the system identifies a risk of 

involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings 

156

Driving

detected on the ground or a lane boundary 

(e.g. grass verge), it performs the trajectory 

correction necessary to restore the vehicle to its 

original lane.

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 

firmly holding the steering wheel 

(e.g. during an emergency manoeuvre).

The correction is interrupted immediately if 

the direction indicators are operated.

While the direction indicators are activated and 

for a few seconds after switching them off, the 

system considers that a change of trajectory is 

intentional and no correction is triggered during 

this period.

Driving situations and related alerts

–  If, during the correction, the system detects that the 

driver has not held the steering wheel for a few seconds, it 

stops the correction and returns control to the driver.

–  During the trajectory correction, the system determines 

that the correction will not be enough: the driver is warned 

that they must provide additional trajectory correction.

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 with your hands on 

the steering wheel.

Operating limits

The system goes into standby automatically in 

the following cases:

–  ESC deactivated or operation triggered.

–  Speed below 43 mph (70 km/h) or greater 

than 112 mph (180 km/h).

–  Electrical connection to a trailer.

–  Use of a "space-saver" spare wheel detected 

(as detection is not immediate, deactivation of 

the system is recommended).

–  Dynamic driving style detected, pressure on 

the brake or accelerator pedal.

–  Driving over lane markings.

–  Activation of the direction indicators.

–  Crossing the inside line on a bend.

–  Driving on a tight bend.

–  Inactivity by the driver detected during 

correction.

The following situations may interfere 

with the operation of the system or 

prevent it from working:

–  Insufficient contrast between the road 

surface and the verge or hard shoulder 

(e.g. shade).

–  Lane markings worn, hidden (e.g. snow, 

mud) or multiple (e.g. roadworks).

–  Close proximity to the vehicle in front (lane 

markings may not be detected).

–  Roads that are narrow, winding.

Risk of undesirable operation

The system should be deactivated in the 

following situations:

–  When changing a wheel or working near a 

wheel.

158

Driving

–  Towing or with a bicycle carrier on a towing 

device, especially with trailer not plugged in or 

not approved.

–  Road in poor condition, unstable or with very 

poor grip (risk of aquaplaning, snow, ice).

–  Adverse weather conditions.

–  Driving on racing circuits.

–  Driving on a rolling road.

Deactivation/Activation

The system is 

automatically reactivated

 every 

time the ignition is switched on.

 

 

 

 

►  Press and hold this button to deactivate or 

press briefly to reactivate the system at any time. 

Deactivation is signalled by the lighting of the 

indicator lamp in the button.

This is a normal behavior, which does not 

request the support of a qualified workshop.

In this case, stop the vehicle and verify if the 

front camera is covered by dirt, mud, sand, 

snow, ice or anything preventing the sensing.

The system is operational again after the 

detection field has been cleaned.

Active Safety Brake with 

Collision Risk Alert and 

Intelligent emergency 

braking assistance

For more information, refer to the 

General recommendations on the use 

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

 

 

This system:

–  warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of 

collision with the preceding vehicle, a pedestrian 

or a cyclist.

–  reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a 

collision or to limit its severity.

Below a speed of 19 mph (30 km/h), 

automatic emergency braking may slow 

down the vehicle to a complete stop.

Otherwise, for versions with camera only, the 

speed may be reduced by a maximum of 16 

mph (25 km/h).

For versions with camera and radar, the 

speed reduction may be extended to 31 mph 

(50 km/h), if both sensors are able to detect 

the thread.

The system also takes motorcyclists into 

account.

It may also react on animals. Animals 

(especially animals smaller than 0.5 m) 

and objects on the road are not necessarily 

detected.

This system includes three functions:

–  Collision Risk Alert.

–  Intelligent emergency braking assistance 

(iEBA).

159

Driving

6

–  Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency 

braking).

 

 

The vehicle has a camera located at the top of 

the windscreen and, depending on version, a 

radar located in the front bumper.

This system does not replace the need 

for driver vigilance.

This system is designed to assist the driver 

and improve road safety.

It is the driver's responsibility to continuously 

monitor traffic conditions in accordance with 

applicable driving regulations.

As soon as the system detects a 

potential collision, it prepares the braking 

circuit. This may cause a slight noise and a 

slight sensation of deceleration.

Operating conditions and 

limits

Vehicle moving forward without trailer.

Brake system operational.

DSC/ASR systems activated.

Seat belts fastened for all passengers.

Stabilised speed on roads with no or low 

curvature.

This warning lamp lights up on the 

instrument panel without any additional 

message, to indicate that the automatic braking 

system is not available.

This is a normal behavior indicating that a 

condition is not fulfilled and which does not 

request the support of a workshop.

In any situations with ignition on where automatic 

braking presents a risk, deactivating the 

system via the vehicle's configuration menu is 

recommended, for instance:

–  Towing a trailer (particularly a trailer without its 

own braking system).

–  Carrying long objects on roof bars.

–  Driving with snow chains.

–  Using an automatic car wash.

–  Performing any maintenance (e.g. changing a 

wheel, working inside the engine compartment).

–  Placing the vehicle on a rolling bench in a 

workshop.

–  Towing the vehicle.

–  Following a front bumper deformation (version 

with radar).

–  Following a damage of the windscreen close 

to the detection camera.

The system is automatically deactivated 

once the use of a different diameter 

"space-saver" type spare wheel is detected, 

or if a fault with the right or left brake lamp is 

detected.

Following a severe crash (e.g. with airbag 

deployment), the system is automatically 

deactivated.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

In case the detection is degraded or 

temporarily unavailable by environment 

conditions, then a driver indication is not 

displayed (because a driver action is not 

requested).

It can be dangerous to drive if the brake 

lamps are not in perfect working order.

The driver must not overload the vehicle 

(keep within the GVW limit and load 

height limits for roof bars).

Collision Risk Alert

This function warns the driver if there is a risk 

of collision with the preceding vehicle, or with a 

pedestrian or cyclist.

160

Driving

Modifying the alert trigger threshold

This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity 

with which the function warns of the risk of 

collision.

The threshold is set via the 

Driving

/

Vehicle

 touch screen menu.

►  Select one of the three pre-defined 

thresholds: "

Far

", "

Normal

" or "

Close

".

The last threshold selected is memorised when 

the ignition is switched off.

Operation

Depending on the collision risk detected by the 

system and the alert trigger threshold chosen 

by the driver, different levels of alert may be 

triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.

The system takes into account the vehicle 

dynamics, the difference speed of the own 

vehicle and the object identified for the 

collision risk, and the operation of the vehicle 

(e.g. actions on the pedals, steering wheel) to 

trigger the alert at the most relevant moment.

(orange)

Level 1

: visual alert only, warning that the 

preceding vehicle is very close.

The message "

Vehicle close

" is displayed.

(red)

Level 2

: visual and audible alert, warning 

that a collision is imminent.

The message "

Brake!

" is displayed.

While approaching a vehicle too quickly, 

the level 2 alert may be displayed 

directly.

Important:

 the level 1 alert depends on the 

trigger threshold selected. It reacts only on 

moving vehicles. It is disabled automatically 

at lower speed.

It is possible that collision warnings are 

not given, are given too late or seem 

unjustified.

The driver must always stay in control of the 

vehicle and be prepared to react at any time 

to avoid an accident.

If you select 

"Far"

 in the touch screen, 

then the system warns sooner. This 

increases the safety but increases also the 

amount of alerts, if the legal safety distance is 

not kept.

To reduce the alert occurrence, you can 

change the setting to either of the other two.

Intelligent emergency 

braking assistance (iEBA)

This function increases vehicle deceleration 

if the driver does not brake enough to avoid a 

collision.

This assistance is only provided if the driver 

presses the brake pedal.

Active Safety Brake

 

 

This function, also called "automatic emergency 

braking", intervenes after the acoustic alert if the 

driver does not operate the brake pedal quickly 

enough.

The system aims at reducing the speed of 

impact or avoiding a collision if the driver fails to 

react.

Below a speed of 19 mph (30 km/h), 

automatic emergency braking may slow 

down the vehicle to a complete stop.

Otherwise, for versions with camera only, the 

speed may be reduced by a maximum of 16 

mph (25 km/h).

For versions with camera and radar, the 

speed reduction may be extended to 31 mph 

161

Driving

6

(50 km/h), if both sensors are able to detect 

the thread.

Operation

The system operates subject to the following 

conditions:

–  At reduced speed in an urban environment, 

when a stationary vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist 

is detected.

–  The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and 

53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with 

camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions 

with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle 

is detected.

This warning lamp flashes (for 

approximately 10 seconds) as soon as 

the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.

During the flashing time, the function is not 

available.

With an automatic gearbox, in the event of 

automatic emergency braking, keep the brake 

pedal depressed, also after a complete stop is 

reached, to prevent the vehicle from rolling away.

With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic 

emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a 

complete stop, the engine may stall.

The driver can override the automatic 

emergency braking at any time by firmly 

turning the steering wheel and/or firmly 

depressing the accelerator pedal.

The brake pedal may feel hard and 

vibrate slightly while the function is 

operating.

If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, 

automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2 

seconds.

Deactivation/Activation

By default, the system is automatically activated 

at every engine start.

The settings are changed via the 

Driving

/

Vehicle

 touch screen menu.

Deactivation of the system is signalled by 

the illumination of this warning lamp, 

accompanied by the display of a message.

The system cannot be deactivated above 

10 km/h.

Malfunction

This warning lamp lights up on the 

instrument panel with the message 

"

Audible Warning System fault: Repair

This is a normal behavior, which does not 

request the support of a qualified workshop.

In this case, stop the vehicle and verify if the 

front camera or the front radar is covered by dirt, 

mud, sand, snow, ice or anything preventing the 

sensing.

The system is operational again after the 

detection field has been cleaned.

In the event of a malfunction, this warning 

lamp lights up on the instrument panel, 

accompanied by the display of a message and 

an audible signal.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

These warning lamps light up on 

the instrument panel and/or in the 

warning lamp display for seat belts and front 

passenger airbag to indicate that the driver's 

and/or front passenger's seat belt is not fastened 

(depending on version). The automatic braking 

system is deactivated until the seat belts are 

fastened.
