Driving
Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at
a constant speed and at an adequate safe
distance.
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 reach the cruise
speed set: towing, vehicle heavily loaded,
steep climb.
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 the mat is positioned
correctly,
- do not fit one mat on top of another.
Adaptive cruise control
It manages the acceleration and deceleration
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the
engine and the braking system.
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motorways, this system only
works on moving vehicles, driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.
Principle of operation
The system automatically adapts the speed of
your vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to
maintain a constant distance.
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.
The brake lamps illuminate as soon as
the braking system is activated with
deceleration of the vehicle.
This system provides the following
functions:
- Automatic regulation of the
vehicle speed at the value
programmed by the driver.
- With a manual gearbox,
automatic adjustment of the
distance between your vehicle
and the one in front.
- With an automatic gearbox,
automatic adjustment of the
distance between your vehicle
and the one in front, which may
cause your vehicle to come to
a complete stop.
To do so, it has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and a radar located in the front
bumper.
