THE XENON HEADLAMPS
On vehicles which are fi tted with xenon headlamps, this system automatically corrects the height of the light beam, regardless of the load in the vehicle. The driver is then guaranteed optimum lighting without dazzling other road users.

Cancelling:

 "fl ash" the headlamps,
 get out of the vehicle and lock it.
If your vehicle is fi tted
with a brightness
sensor, the side lights
and dipped beam
headlamps switch on
automatically if the
light is poor, or during operation of the
windscreen wipers. They switch off
as soon as the light becomes bright
enough or the windscreen wipers stop.
This function is not compatible with the
daytime lights.

Do not cover the rain sensor located in the centre of the fascia.
On vehicles which are fi tted with this control, in the AUTO position, the windscreen wipers operate automatically and adapt their speed to the intensity of the rainfall .
When not in AUTO mode, for the other positions, refer to the manual windscreen wipers section.
The command must be reactivated whenever the ignition has been switched off for more than one minute:

gearbox, the lever must be in
position D (Drive) or at least 2nd gear
must be engaged in manual mode. Function selected,

"Cruise Control"
symbol.
Function deactivated,

(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
Vehicle speed above
(e.g. 70 mph
(118 km/h)),
the programmed
speed is displayed

Operating fault
detected,
OFF - the dashes
fl ash.
This cruise control shows the function
selection status on the instrument
panel and displays the programmed
speed:
"This is the speed at which the driver
wishes to drive".
This aid to driving in free-fl owing
traffi c enables the vehicle to maintain
the speed programmed by the driver,
unless a steep gradient makes this
impossible.
In order for it to be programmed or
activated, the vehicle speed must be
greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) with at
least 4th gear engaged in the case of
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox. If the vehicle is fi tted with a speed
limiter and cruise control (according
to the country in which the vehicle is
sold and the engine), these functions
cannot be activated at the same time.

accelerator.
- Press the SET - or

SET + button .
This programmes/activates the
reference speed and the vehicle will
maintain this speed. Temporary exceeding of the
speed

Switching the function off
- Place the dial in position 0 or switch
off the ignition to switch everything off. Good practice
When changing the programmed
reference speed by means of a
maintained press, pay attention as
the speed can increase or decrease
rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffi c.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near
the pedals.
To avoid any jamming under the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its fi xings on the fl oor are positioned correctly,
- never place one mat on top of another
Changing the
programmed speed
There are two methods
of memorising a
speed higher than the
previous one:
Without using the
accelerator:
- press the Set + button.
A brief press increases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared and
the dashes fl ash for a few seconds.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
Using the accelerator:
- exceed the memorised speed until
the speed required is reached,
- press the Set + or Set - button.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
- press the Set - button.
A brief press decreases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h). Cancelling the programmed
reference speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary,
after switching off the ignition, the
system no longer memorises a speed.
