Driving
Malfunction
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:
For this purpose there is a camera located at
the top of the windscreen.
-
ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
-
never fit one mat on top of another.
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motorways, this system only
works on moving vehicles, driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the cruise
control system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Adaptive cruise control
Principle of operation
The system automatically adapts the speed of
your vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to
maintain a constant distance.
This system provides the following
functions:
Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at
a constant speed and at an adequate safe
distance for a period of time.
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 even reach the
cruise speed set: towing, vehicle heavily
loaded, steep climb.
-
Automatically maintains the vehicle
at the speed set by the driver.
Automatic adjustment of the
distance between your vehicle and
the one in front.
If the vehicle in front is driving more slowly, the
system slows, or even stops your vehicle, using
engine braking and the braking system (for
versions fitted with an automatic gearbox).
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.

With an automatic gearbox, automatic
adjustment of the distance can cause your
vehicle to come to a complete stop.
The cruise control remains active after
changing gear regardless of the gearbox
type.
It manages the acceleration and deceleration
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the
engine and the braking system.
