In this position, the suspension is main-tained in the SPORT position, the shock absorption becomes firmer.
In the event of a fault, it comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a mes-sage on the multifunction display.
Select automatic operation and con-tact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Operating check
This is confirmed by the switch light and the indicator lights.
ELECTRONICALLY
CONTROLLED SUSPENSION*
The suspension adapts automatically and instantly to different driving styles and road characteristics, improving the comfort of the occupants and the vehicle’s road holding capabilities.
The suspension favours smooth shock absorption, ensuring a comfortable ride, but as soon as conditions demand a change (sporty driving, tight bends, avoidance action, etc.) it automatically selects firmer shock absorption, guar-anteeing optimum road holding.
When the ignition is switched on, the electronic suspension is always active in automatic mode.
* According to version.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED
LIMITER
Cruise control function
This enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed programmed by the driver
In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) with at least fourth gear engaged (second gear for the automatic gearbox), with the engine running.
Selecting the function
 Place switch 1 in the CRUISE po-sition. The cruise control is not yet active and no speed has been memorised. The display indicates:
Switching the function off
 Place switch 1 in position 0 or LIMIT to switch the system off.
Note: It is possible to acceler-ate and drive momentarily at a speed greater than the memo-rised speed. The value mem-orised flashes. When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle will re-turn to the memorised speed.
Cancelling the memorised speed
If you wish to cancel the memorised speed:
 Press button 4 or the brake or clutch pedal. The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
Activation/memorising a speed
As soon as you reach the chosen speed, press button 2 or 3. This memorises the speed, which will be maintained automatically. The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):On a steep descent, the cruise control, which does not act on the brakes, is not able to pre-vent the vehicle from exceed-ing the programmed speed.
In no circumstances does the cruise control replace the requirement to re-spect speed limits, nor does it replace the need for vigilance and responsibil-ity on the part of the driver.

88
Note: the speed memorised is cancelled automatically if the vehicle speed is less than 25 mph (40 km/h), or if the manual gearbox is in a gear lower than fourth (second gear for the automatic gearbox) or if the ESP is activated.
Operating check
In the event of a cruise control malfunc-tion, the memorised speed is erased, the dashes flash for a few seconds:
A warning light comes on, an audible signal is heard and a message ap-pears on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,- never fit one mat on top of another.
Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than the previous one, there are two options:
Without using the accelerator:
 press button 3;
Using the accelerator:
 exceed the memorised speed until the required speed is reached,
 press button 2 or 3.
To memorise a speed lower than the previous one:
 press button 2;
Short press: +/- 1 mph (1 km/h)
Long press: +/- 5 mph (5 km/h)
Maintained press: continuous increase or decrease of the value in steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Recalling the memorised speed
After cancellation, press button 4. Your vehicle will return to the last memo-rised speed. The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
Cancelling the memorised speed
 Place switch 1 in position 0 or LIMIT or switch off the ignition.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED
LIMITER
Limiter function
This prevents the vehicle speed ex-ceeding the speed programmed by the driver (minimum speed of 18 mph (30 km/h)).
Selecting the function
 Place switch 1 in the LIMIT posi-tion. The limiter is not yet active. By default the display indicates:
Switching the function off
 Place switch 1 in position 0 or CRUISE or switch off the ignition to switch the system off. The last speed programmed remains in the memory.
Memorising a speed
A speed can be memorised without activation of the limiter.
Pressing buttons 2 and 3 decreases or increases the speed.
Short press: +/- 1 mph (1 km/h)
Long press: +/- 5 mph (5 km/h)
Maintained press: continuous increase or decrease of the value in steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Activation/deactivation of the limiter
Pressing button 4 activates the limiter, pressing this button again deactivates it.
When the limiter is active, the display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
The operations must be car-ried out with the engine run-ning.On a steep descent or if the driver accelerates sharply, the speed limiter, which does not act on the brakes, is not able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.
In no circumstances does the speed limiter replace the requirement to re-spect speed limits, nor does it replace the need for vigilance and responsibil-ity on the part of the driver.

Exceeding the programmed speed
Additional pressing of the accelera-tor to exceed the programmed speed will have no effect unless the pedal is pressed firmly (passing the point of resistance).
The limiter is deactivated temporarily and displays the programmed speed (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
To prevent the mat from be-coming caught under the ped-als:
- ensure that the mat is posi-tioned correctly,- never fit one mat on top of another.
Operating check
In the event of a limiter malfunction, the memorised speed is erased, the dashes flash for a few seconds:
Note: the speed also flashes when the speed limiter can-not prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed (on a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration).
To re-activate the limiter, release the accelerator to slow down to a speed below the programmed speed.
A warning light comes on, an audible signal is heard and a message ap-pears on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT
AND/OR REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE
This system consists of proximity sen-sors:
- six in the front bumper,and/or
- four in the rear bumper.It detects any obstacle (person, vehi-cle, tree, gate, etc.) in front of or be-hind the vehicle. However, it cannot detect obstacles located directly under the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, cone or any other similar object may be detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre but may no longer be detected when the vehicle comes close to it.
The proximity of the obstacle is indi-cated by:
- an audible signal which becomes more rapid as the vehicle approach-es the obstacle,- a graphic on the multifunction dis-play, with blocks which become in-creasingly close to the vehicle.The obstacle is located in relation to the emission of the audible signal by the speakers; that is, front or rear and right or left.
When the distance between the vehi-cle and the obstacle is less than ap-proximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous and/or the “Danger” symbol appears on the multifunction display.
The system becomes inactive again:
- when you exit reverse gear,- when the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h),- at the end of the manoeuvre, when stationary, after a few seconds (front parking assistance only).
Detection zone
To guarantee optimum opera-tion, in bad weather or in win-ter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, frost or snow.
The system is deactivated if the vehicle is stationary for more than 3 seconds.
Detection
The system is activated when:
- reverse gear is engaged,- the speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.It is accompanied by an audible signal and/or displaying of the vehicle on the multifunction display.

Deactivation
Press button A to deactivate the sys-tem (child asleep in the rear...). The in-dicator light on the button comes on.
Note: this function will be de-activated automatically when a trailer is being towed (vehi-cle fitted with a towbar recom-mended by PEUGEOT).
Reactivation
Press button A again to reactivate the system. The indicator light on the but-ton is switched off.
If there is an operating fault, when reverse gear is engaged, the indicator light flashes, ac-companied by an audible sig-nal and a message on the multifunc-tion display.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-ing driving and trigger a warning in the event of malfunction.
Pressure Check
With the ignition on and the vehicle having been stationary for approximately 15 minutes, and after the engine oil level, this indicator light comes on on the instrument panel screen to indi-cate that the system is measuring the tyre pressures.
Pressure OK
This indicator light comes on on the instrument panel screen if all of the tyre pres-sure values measured are correct.
If this indicator light does not appear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.
Puncture
This warning light, accom-panied by the audible sig-nal and the message on the multi-function display locat-ing the wheel concerned, is followed by illumination of the STOP warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-den movement of the steering wheel and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-tured or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
Note: this message is also displayed when one of the wheels is away from the ve-hicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted.
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle, you must have the system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inflation detection sys-tem is an aid to driving which does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not eliminate the need to have the tyre pressure checked regularly (see manufacturer’s label) to ensure that the optimum dynamic per-formance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly in arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remem-ber to check the pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detection sys-tem may experience temporary inter-ference due to radioelectric emissions on a frequency close to that used by the system.
Flat tyre
This warning light is accom-panied by the audible signal and the message on the multi-function display locating the wheel concerned.
If this warning light comes on, have the tyre pressure checked as soon as pos-sible.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning light is accom-panied by the audible sig-nal and the message on the multi-function display which indicates that under-inflation detection is absent from one (or sev-eral) wheel(s) or that there is a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace the faulty sensor(s).
