Driving
Malfunction
The cruise control operates by day and
night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
The system is not intended for the
following situations:
However, it is strongly recommended that
you always adapt the speed and the safety
distance in relation to the 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 keeping an
adequate safety distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas where pedestrians are likely to
cross the road, in heavy traffic (except for
versions with EAT8 gearbox), on winding
or steep roads, on slippery or flooded
roads, when there is snowfall, if the
windscreen is damaged or when the brake
lamps have failed.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be possible for the speed setting to be
maintained or even attained: loaded
vehicle, ascending a steep hill, etc.
-
if the front end of the vehicle has
been modified (addition of long-range
headlamps, painting of the front
bumper),
driving on a racing circuit,
running on a rolling road,
use of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
If the cruise control
malfunctions, dashes are
displayed instead of the
cruise control speed setting.

-
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
alert message and an
audible signal, this confirms
a 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:
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
-
ensure that the mat is secured
correctly,
never place one mat on top of another.
The adaptive cruise control deactivates
automatically if the use of a "space-saver"
type spare wheel is detected or if there is
a malfunction on the lateral brake lamps or
trailer brake lamps (for approved trailers).
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
-
driving on a winding road,
poor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense
fog, etc.),
dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
Memorising speeds
Linked to the speed limiter and programmable
cruise control only, this function allows speed
limits to be registered which will then be
-
suggested as settings for these two systems.
-
camera obstructed (mud, frost, snow,
condensation, etc.).
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.
