Switching on

The cruise control is switched on manually, it
requires a vehicle speed of between 18 and
112 mph (30 and 180 km/h).
An automatic gearbox must be in position D
or M.

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.

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

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
should press the accelerator pedal to
move off, then reactivate the system
by exceeding 18 mph (30 km/h) and
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.

Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.

3008-2_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016

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.
Wait until the speed of the vehicle
is close to the speed setting before
reactivating the system - by pressing
button 2 or 3 - in order to set your
current speed as the new speed setting.

Modification of the speed
setting

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

As a precaution, it is recommended that
you select a cruise speed setting close
to the current speed of your vehicle, so
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle.

Modification from the speed limit

recognition system

F The speed to be memorised 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 is then displayed in the instrument
panel as the new 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 (km/h).

For more information on Speed limit
recognition, refer to the corresponding
section.

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

Modification of the inter-
vehicle distance setting

Three predefined inter-vehicle distance settings
are offered:
-

"Distant" (3 dashes),

"Normal" (2 dashes),

"Close" (1 dash).

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

screen for inter-vehicle distance,

F press button 6 repeatedly to cycle through

the predefined settings.

The selection screen closes after a
few seconds.
The modification is then taken into account.

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

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.

"Take back control of the
vehicle"

The driver should take 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.

"Activation not possible,
conditions unsuitable"

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

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 should 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).

Driving

3008-2_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016

Limits of operation

The system cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
It is recommended that the system be
deactivated when the "space-saver" spare
wheel is in use.
The system should not be activated when
towing a trailer.
In certain critical situations, the system will
encourage the driver to immediately take back
control:
-

if the vehicle in front slows down too much
or too suddenly, and the driver does not
brake,

if a vehicle comes between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front.

As the radar's field of detection is quite narrow,
it is possible that the system may not detect:
-

vehicles of reduced width (motorcycles,
scooters...),

vehicles not running in the middle of the
lane,

vehicles entering a corner,

vehicles suddenly pulling out.

The cruise control does not take account of:
-

pedestrians, cyclists, animals,

stationary vehicles (traffic jam, red light,
breakdown...),

vehicles crossing a junction,

vehicles driving in the opposite direction.

Operating fault

Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

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.

The cruise control operates by day and at
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 at an adequate safe
distance.
Do not use the cruise control in urban
areas, heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads or on slippery or flooded surfaces.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be possible for the speed setting to be
maintained or even attained: loaded
vehicle, ascending a steep hill, ...

The system is not intended for driving in the
following situations:
-

the front end of the vehicle has been
modified (addition of driving lamps),

driving on a racing circuit,

running on a rolling road,

use of snow chains or non-slip covers.

As a safety measure, do not use the
system if the brake lamps are faulty.
Do not use the system if the front
bumper is damaged.

The operation of the radar, located in the
front bumper, may be disturbed in certain
weather conditions, for example: with
accumulations of snow, ice, mud, ...
Clean the front bumper, removing the snow,
mud, ...

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 mats are secured correctly,

never fit one mat on top of another.

Distance alert and Active Safety Brake

This system includes three functions:
-

Distance alert (alert if there is a risk of
collision),

Intelligent emergency braking assistance,

Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).

Points on the Active Safety Brake
function

The speed of the vehicle must be between 3
and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h) when a moving
vehicle is detected.
The speed of the vehicle must not be higher
than 50 mph (80 km/h) when a stationary
vehicle is detected.
The speed of the vehicle must not be higher
than 36 mph (60 km/h) when a pedestrian is
detected.
The DSC system must not be deactivated or
faulty.
All occupants must have fastened their seat
belts.
Driving at steady speed on roads with few
bends is required.

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.

The vehicle is fitted with a radar located in the
front bumper and a camera at the top of the
windscreen.

Conditions for activation and operation

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:
-

registered vehicles running in the same
direction or stationary,

pedestrians present in the traffic lane
(bicycles, motorcycles, animals and objects
on the road are not necessarily detected).

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.

Following an impact, the system
is automatically disabled; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

Driving

248

3008-2_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016

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.

Because of limits in the operation of the
system, it is possible that warnings are
not given, are given too late or seem
unjustified.
Consequently, the driver must always
remain attentive and able to react at any
time to avoid an accident.

Distance alert

Level 1: visual alert only, signalling
to you that the vehicle in front is very
close.
The message "Vehicle close" is
displayed.

Limits of operation

In the following cases, it is recommended
that the system be deactivated in the vehicle
configuration menu:
-

when towing a trailer or caravan,

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 road
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),

following impact damage to the windscreen
close to the detection camera,

if the front bumper has been damaged,

if the brake lamps are not working.

This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front.

Level 2: visual and audible alert,
warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message "Brake!" is displayed.

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: the level 1 alert is never
displayed if the "Close" threshold has
been selected.

Driving

249

3008-2_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016

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 in the screen.
You can select one of three 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 complete the
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you
press the brake pedal.

Driving

250

3008-2_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016

Active Safety Brake

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 radar and a camera, this function acts
on the vehicle's braking system.

If the radar and the camera have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes once the function is acting on
the vehicle's brakes.

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.

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 the automatic emergency braking
bringing the vehicle to a complete stop,
the engine may stall.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event
of the automatic emergency braking
bringing the vehicle to a complete stop,
keep the brake pedal pressed to stop
the vehicle moving off again.

The point at which braking is triggered
may be adjusted according to the
reaction from the driver, such as
movement of the steering wheel or
pressing the accelerator pedal.

Deactivation / Activation

Operating fault

In the event of a fault, you are alerted
by the illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by the display of
a message and an audible signal.

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 mask the camera's view.
Clean the front bumper, removing mud,
snow, ...

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.

Check that the sensors (camera and radar) are
not covered by dirt, mud, frost, snow...
If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.

By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
The system can be deactivated or activated in
the vehicle settings menu in the screen.

Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message.

There may be interference in the
operation of the camera or it may not
work at all in the following situations:
-

poor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, ...),

dazzle (headlamps of an
approaching vehicle on the other
side of the road, low sun, reflection
on a wet road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating between light and
shade, ...),

camera or radar masked (mud,
frost, snow, ...).

In these situations, detection
performance may be reduced.

Driving

252

3008-2_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016

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 "Fatigue detection system".

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).

This alert takes the form of 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 cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Do not take the wheel if you are tired.

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).

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.

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.

Driving

253

3008-2_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016

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.

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, ...),

dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on
a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light, ...),

windscreen area located in front
of the camera: dirty, misted, frost-
covered, snow-covered, damaged
or covered by a sticker,

lane markings absent, worn,
masked (snow, mud) or multiple
(roadworks, ...),

close to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),

roads that are narrow, winding, ...

Once the system considers that the behaviour
of the vehicle suggests a certain level of fatigue
or inattention by the driver, it triggers the first
level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
"Take care!", accompanied by an audible
signal.

Fatigue detection system

Depending on version, the "Driving time
warning" may be combined with the "Fatigue
detection system".

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))

Driving

254

3008-2_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016

Lane Departure Warning System

Activation / Deactivation

Select the "Driving assistance" tab, then
"Lane departure detection assistance.".

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.

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

Activation and deactivation of the
function is done via the Driving
menu in the touch screen.

The status of the system 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.

Operating fault

In the event of a fault, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by the display
of a message and an audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

The detection may be impeded:
-

if the markings on the ground are
worn,

if there is little contrast between the
markings on the ground 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, ...).
