by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
This system is not an anti-collision radar  
and it does not act of the movement  
of your vehicle. It provides information  
but cannot, in any circumstances, take  
the place of vigilance on the part of the  
driver.  
The system switches to standby automatically  
if the sensor does not detect the vehicle in front  
correctly (very difficult weather conditions,  
sensor out of adjustment, ...). A message is  
displayed in the multifunction screen.  
The vehicle being followed may not be detected  
in certain conditions such as, for example:  
-
-
-
when turning,  
when changing lane,  
when the vehicle in front is either too far  
ahead (maximum range of the sensor:  
100 m) or stationary (in a traffic jam, ...),  
When the vehicle being followed is much too  
near (time between the two vehicles less than  
0.5 seconds), the display remains fixed at  
0.5 seconds.
