Driving aid which informs the driver of the time interval (in seconds) separating them from the vehicle in front when the driving conditions are stable.

It does not detect stationary vehicles and does not itself take any action on your vehicle's controls.

For the safety time to be observed, refer to the current legislation or highway code recommendations in your country.

The system operates when the speed of your vehicle is higher than 45 mph (70 km/h) and below 90 mph (150 km/h).

It has a programmable visual alert which remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off.

This system is a driving aid and cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.

Buttons

1. On / off.
2. Alert value increase (+) / decrease (-).

Displays during operation

The information is grouped together in the head-up display.

Once the system has been activated: A. The speed of your vehicle is outside the operating range.

B. Your vehicle is within the operating range but no vehicle has been detected.

C. The vehicle in front of you has been detected.

The current time separating you from this vehicle is displayed permanently.

D. The time between your vehicle and the vehicle in front is less than the programmed alert value (it fl ashes).

Activation

Press button 1 , the indicator lamp comes on.

The system is activated but will only operate from 45 mph (70 km/h).

Programming the alert value

Select the alert value required using button 2 , in steps of 0.1 second:

- up to increase: "+",
- down to decrease: "-".

Example with a value of 2 seconds:

The alert value can be programmed to between 0.9 second and 2.5 seconds.

The visual alert can be deactivated by programming a value of 0 second.

Alert

When the time (in seconds) between your vehicle and the vehicle in front is less than the programmed time (alert value), a visual alert fl ashes.

A safety time of 2 seconds is recommended in normal driving conditions (correct traction and speed) to avoid a collision in the event of emergency braking.

Deactivation

Press button 1 to deactivate the system, the indicator lamp goes off.

Reactivation

Press button 1 again to reactivate the system.

The last value programmed is retained and the indicator lamp comes on.

Operating limits

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 traffi c 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.

If the indicator lamp in button 1 fl ashes, have the system checked 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 the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
