lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away
from the radar, sensors and cameras.

Mats
Sensors
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may interfere with the operation of
the speed limiter or cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
– Ensure that the mat is secured correctly.
– Never fit one mat on top of another.
The operation of the sensors, as well as
any associated functions, may be disrupted
by noise pollution such as that emitted by
noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
This system displays the maximum speed
authorised locally on the instrument panel, using:
– Speed limit signs detected by the camera.
– Speed limit information from the navigation
system’s mapping.
– Signs indicating a shared traffic zone detected
by the camera (depending on version).
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
Sign detected
Suggested speed
(calculated)
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.

in force in the country

The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.

Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.

Driving
The units for the speed limit (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
This should be taken into account to ensure
you observe the speed limit.
For the system to work properly when
changing countries, the speed unit of the
instrument panel must match that of the
country you are driving in.

Automatic sign reading is a driving aid
system and does not always display the
correct speed limits.
68 mph (110 km/h)
(for example)
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over those displayed by
the system.
The system is designed to detect signs that
conform to the Vienna Convention on road
signs.

If the outside
temperature is below
3°C:

towing
If an approved towing
device is fixed to the
vehicle:
56 mph (90 km/h)

Example:
Specific speed limits, such as those for
heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit on the
instrument panel is updated when passing
a speed limit sign intended for cars (light
vehicles).

Activation/Deactivation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
Navigation mapping should be regularly
updated in order to receive accurate
speed limit information from the system.
The settings are changed via the
Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.

Driving
using the speed limiter or cruise control 'store'
For a suggested maximum speed, the first time
that the vehicle exceeds it by more than 3 mph
(5 km/h) (e.g. 59 mph (95 km/h)), the speed is
displayed and flashes for 10 seconds (depending
on version).

button.
If rain is detected, the system will suggest to
the driver a speed setting lower than the speed
read/obtained from the mapping system in order
to best suit the weather conditions (e.g. on a
motorway, the suggested speed will be 68 mph
(110 km/h) instead of 81 mph (130 km/h)).
Operating limits
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits, especially those imposed in the
following cases:
– Atmospheric pollution.
– Towing.
– Driving with a space-saver type spare wheel
or snow chains fitted.
– Tyre repaired using the temporary puncture
repair kit.
For more information on the Speed
limiter, Cruise control or Adaptive
cruise control, refer to the corresponding
sections.

– Young drivers.
The system may not display the speed limit if it
does not detect a speed limit sign within a preset
period and in the following situations:
– Road signs that are obstructed, non-standard,
damaged or bent.
The system is active but is not detecting speed
limit information.
1. Speed limiter/cruise control mode selection
2. Memorise the speed setting
– Obsolete or incorrect maps.
Recommendation
On detecting speed limit information, the system
displays the value.
In addition to Road signs recognition, the
driver can select the speed displayed as a speed
setting for the speed limiter or cruise control

Storing the speed setting
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the
driver (speed setting).
The speed limiter is switched on manually.
The minimum speed setting is 19 mph (30 km/h).
The speed setting remains in the system
memory when the ignition is switched off.
► Switch on the speed limiter/cruise control.
The speed limiter/cruise control information is
displayed.
Upon detecting a sign suggesting a new speed
setting, the system displays the value and
"MEM" flashes for a few seconds, prompting you
to save it as a new speed setting.
This additional system recognises these road
signs and displays them on the instrument panel
if the appropriate display mode is selected:
– No entry: when entering a lane in the wrong
direction, an alert message, including the symbol
of this sign, is displayed on the instrument panel
(request to check the direction of traffic).
