Driving

On a steep descent or in the event of

sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will

not be able to prevent the vehicle from

exceeding the speed setting.

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.

– In heavy traﬃc (except versions with the

Stop & Go function).

– On winding or steep roads.

– On slippery or ﬂooded roads.

– In poor weather conditions.

– In the event of restricted visibility for the

driver.

– Driving on a speed circuit.

– Driving on a rolling road.

– When using a ‘space-saver’ type spare

wheel.

If necessary, apply the brakes to control your

vehicle’s speed.

When the vehicle speed returns to the speed

setting level, the speed limiter operates again:

the speed setting display becomes ﬁxed again.

Switching oﬀ

► Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:

speed limiter information is no longer displayed.

– When using snow chains, non-slip covers

or studded tyres.

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

This system automatically maintains the

vehicle’s speed at the value programmed

by the driver (speed setting), without the use of

the accelerator pedal.

Cruise control - Speciﬁc

recommendations

Cruise control is switched on manually.

It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph

(40 km/h).

With a manual gearbox, third gear or higher must

be engaged.

Operating limits

Never use the system in the following

situations:

– In an urban area with the risk of

pedestrians crossing the road.

The cruise control function does not

guarantee compliance with the maximum

authorised speed and the safety distance

110

Driving

With an automatic gearbox, mode D or second

gear or higher in mode M must be engaged.

With a drive selector, mode D or B must be

engaged.

► Release the accelerator pedal.

► Pressing button 4 temporarily pauses the

function.

► Pressing button 4 again restores operation of

the cruise control (ON).

5. Use the speed suggested by the Road signs

recognition (MEM display)

For more information on the Road signs

recognition, refer to the corresponding section.

Cruise control remains active after

changing gear, regardless of the gearbox

type, on engines ﬁtted with the Stop & Start

function.

Cruise control can also be paused

temporarily:

– by pressing the brake pedal.

– automatically, if the electronic stability

control (ESC) system is triggered.

Information displayed on

the instrument panel

speed setting.

Modifying the cruise speed

setting

Steering-mounted control

Cruise control must be active.

To modify the cruise speed setting, based on the

current speed of the vehicle:

► Brieﬂy press button 2 or 3 to change the

value in steps of + or - 1 mph (km/h).

► Press and hold button 2 or 3 to change the

value in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h).

6. Cruise control pause/resume

7. Cruise control mode selection

8. Speed setting value

9. Speed suggested by the Road signs

recognition function (depending on version)

Pressing and holding button 2 or

3 results in a rapid change in the speed

of the vehicle.

1. ON (CRUISE position)/OFF

Switching on/pausing

2. Activate cruise control at the current speed/

decrease speed setting

3. Activate cruise control at the current speed/

increase speed setting

4. Pause/resume cruise control with the speed

setting previously saved

► Turn thumbwheel 1 to the "CRUISE" position

to select cruise control mode; the function is

paused.

► Press button 2 or 3 to activate cruise control

and save a speed setting when the vehicle has

reached the desired speed; the vehicle’s current

speed is saved as the speed setting.

As a precaution, we recommend setting

a cruise speed fairly close to the current

speed of your vehicle, to avoid any sudden

acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle.

Driving

To modify the cruise speed setting using the

speed suggested by the Road signs recognition

shown on the instrument panel:

► Press button 5 once; a message is displayed

to conﬁrm the memorisation request.

► Press button 5 again to save the suggested

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 & Go function, the system

manages braking until the vehicle comes to a

complete stop and restarts the vehicle.

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.

The speed is immediately shown on the

instrument panel as the new speed setting.

Switching oﬀ

► Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:

the cruise control information disappears from

the screen.

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.

Malfunction

Primarily designed for driving on main

roads and motorways, this system only

works with moving vehicles driving in the

same direction as your vehicle.

In the event of a malfunction, dashes are

displayed ﬂashing and then ﬁxed instead of the

speed setting.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

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.

Adaptive cruise control

Primarily designed for driving on main

roads and motorways, this system only

works with moving vehicles driving in the

Drive Assist Plus

Only available on versions with the EAT8

automatic gearbox and drive selector.

This system automatically adjusts the speed

and corrects the trajectory of the vehicle, using

Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go in

conjunction with Lane Positioning Assist.

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

recommendations.

This system automatically maintains the vehicle

speed at a value set by the driver (speed
