If an obstacle is detected when
operating the electric windows,
you must reverse the movement
of the window. To do this, press
the control concerned.
When the driver operates the pas-
senger electric window controls,
he must ensure that no one is pre-
venting correct closing of the win-
dows.
The driver must ensure that pas-
sengers use the electric windows
correctly.
Be aware of children when operat-
ing the windows.
This switch enables the rear windows
to be locked whatever their position.
A 1st press activates the control (the
indicator light on the button comes
on) and a 2nd press deactivates it
(the indicator light on the button goes

Move the lever in the gate to
select a position.
The indicator light corresponding
to the position selected appears
on the instrument panel screen.
P ark: to immobilise the vehicle and
to start the engine , with the hand-
brake on or off.
R everse: to reverse (select this po-
sition with the vehicle stationary, en-
gine at idle).
N eutral: to start the engine and to
park , with the handbrake on.
If position N is inadvertently engaged
while driving, allow the engine to re-
turn to idle before engaging position
D to accelerate.
D rive: for driving in automatic mode.

With the engine running, to move off
from position
P:
F it is essential to press the
brake pedal to exit position P ,
F select position R, D or M, then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
You can also move off from position N:
F release the handbrake, with your
foot on the brake,
F select position R, D or M, then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
Starting the engine
F with the handbrake on, select
position P or N in the gate,
F turn the ignition key to the Start
position. WARNING
When the engine is at idle, brakes not
applied, if position
R, D or M is se-
lected, the vehicle moves even with-
out the accelerator being pressed.

Exceeding the programmed
speed
Pressing the accelerator in order to
exceed the programmed speed will
have no effect unless you press the
pedal i r m l y beyond the point of re-
sistance.
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed, which
i s s t i l l d i s p l a y e d , l a s h e s ( e . g . a t
70 mph (110 km/h)):
Note : t h e s p e e d a l s o l a s h e s w h e n
the limiter cannot prevent the vehi-
cle from exceeding the programmed
speed (on a steep descent, in the
event of sharp acceleration).
To reactivate the limiter, release the
accelerator to slow down to a speed
below the programmed speed. Switching the function off
F
Place dial 1 in position 0
or switch off the ignition to
switch the system off. The last
programmed speed remains in
the memory.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
Operating fault
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the programmed speed is cleared
and the indication below appears:
In the event of a steep de-
scent or sharp accelera-
tion, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the
vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
In any event, the speed limiter can-
not replace the need to observe
speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance and responsibil-
ity on the part of the driver.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat and i t s i x i n g s a r e p o s i t i o n e d
correctly.

Reactivating the cruise control
After cancellation of the cruise con-
trol, press button 4. Your vehicle will
return to the last memorised speed.
The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph
(110 km/h)):
It is also possible to reactivate the cruise
control by pressing button 2 or 3. The
memorised speed will then be the speed
at which the vehicle was travelling when
the cruise control was reactivated.
Changing the memorised
reference speed
To memorise a speed higher than the
previous one, there are two options:
Without using the accelerator:
F press button 3.
A brief press increases by 1 mph
(1 km/h).
An extended press increases by
5 mph (5 km/h).
A maintained press increases in
steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Using the accelerator:
F exceed the memorised speed
until the required speed is
reached,
F press button 2 or 3. To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
F
press button 2.
A brief press decreases by 1 mph
(1 km/h).
An extended press decreases by
5 mph (5 km/h).
A maintained press decreases in
steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Cancelling the memorised
reference speed
F When the vehicle becomes
stationary, after switching off the
ignition, the system no longer
memorisesw a speed.
Switching the function off
F Place dial 1 in position 0 to
switch the system off. Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control mal-
function, the memorised speed is

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
When changing the memo-
rised 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
s l i p p e r y r o a d s o r i n h e a v y t r a f i c .
In the event of a steep slope, the
cruise control cannot prevent the
vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed.
In any event, the cruise control can-
not replace the need to observe the
speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance and responsibil-
ity on the part of the driver.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) D i s a r m i n g t h e A S R / E S P
systems
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
F Press the "ESP OFF" switch,
located under the steering wheel
to the left. O p e r a t i n g c h e c k
The ASR/ESP systems
offer exceptional safety
in normal driving, but this
should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components
and the electronic components
and the PEUGEOT assembly and
operation procedures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
O p e r a t i o n o f t h e A S R a n d E S P
systems The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on, ac-
companied by a message
on the multifunction display :
the ASR and ESP systems are dis-
armed.
T h e s e a r e t r i g g e r e d a g a i n :
F automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
F manually by pressing the switch
again. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
l i g h t l a s h e s a n d t h e w a r n i n g
light comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.
T h e w a r n i n g l i g h t l a s h e s i f
the ASR or ESP is activated.
A c t i v a t i o n o f t h e A S R a n d E S P
systems
When the ignition is on, the ASR and
ESP systems are always active.
These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing on the brakes of the drive wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra-
jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the en-
gine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course, within the limits of
the laws of physics.

pre-tensioner and force
limiter
Safety in the event of front impacts
has been improved by the introduc-
tion of seat belts with pre-tensioner
and force limiter for the front seats.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pre-tensioning system
instantly tightens the seat belts and
pulls them against the bodies of the
occupants. The pre-tensioning seat belts are ac-
tive when the ignition is on.
The force limiter eases the pressure
of the seat belt on the body of the oc-
cupant in the event of an accident.
