The electronic parking brake combines
2 operational modes:
- Automatic application/release
Application is automatic when the engine stops, release is automatic
on use of the accelerator (activated
by default),
- Manual application/release
The parking brake can be applied/re- leased manually by pulling control A .
ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE
Deactivation is recommended
in particularly cold conditions
(ice) and during towing (break-
down, caravan...)
Programming the mode
The automatic application when the en-
gine is switched off and the automatic
release when you press the accelerator
can be deactivated.
If this warning lamp on the
instrument panel comes on,
the automatic mode is deac-
tivated. Activation/deactivation is
performed using the con-
fi g u r a t i o n m e n u , r e f e r t o
the "Multifunction displays"
section.
The parking brake is then applied and
released manually. When the driver's
door is opened, a beep is heard and a
message is displayed if the brake is not
applied.

On a steep descent or in the
event of sharp acceleration,
the speed limiter will not be
able to prevent the vehicle from ex-
ceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- d o n o t fi t o n e m a t o n t o p o f a n - other.
Programming
Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed
speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal
fi r m l y past the point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the pro-
g r a m m e d s p e e d , w h i c h i s s t i l l d i s p l a y e d , fl a s h e s .
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intention-
al or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automati cally
c a n c e l s t h e fl a s h i n g o f t h e p r o g r a m m e d s p e e d .
Return to normal driving
Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the
speed limiter mode is deselected.
The display returns to the distance
recorder.
Operating fault
In the event of a speed limiter malfunc-
tion, the speed is cleared resulting in
fl a s h i n g o f t h e d a s h e s .
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4 : the dis-
p l a y c o n fi r m s t h a t i t h a s b e e n s w i t c h e d o f f ( O F F ) .
Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.
Set the speed value by pressing button 2 or 3 (e.g.: 55 mph
(90 km/h)).
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons
2 and 3 :
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4 .
Turn dial 1 to the "LIMIT" position:
the speed limiter mode is selected
but is not switched on (OFF).
You do not have to switch the speed
limiter on in order to set the speed.

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-
gaging:
- of fourth gear on the manual gear- box,
- of second gear on the piloted manu- al gearbox or automatic gearbox, in
sequential driving mode,
- of position A on the piloted manual
gearbox or D on the automatic gear-
box. The controls of this system are grouped
together on lever
A .

The cruise control cannot, in
any circumstances, replace
the need to respect speed lim-
its, nor can it replace the need
for vigilance and responsibility on the
part of the driver.
The cruise control is
switched off
manually or by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal or on triggering of the ESP
system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value. This information is also dis-
played on the head up display.
For further details about the
head up display, refer to this "Driving"
section.

6-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX
As a safety precaution and to
facilitate starting of the engine:
- always select neutral,
- press the clutch pedal. Only engage reverse gear
when the vehicle is stationary
with the engine at idle.
Engaging reverse gear
Raise the ring under the knob and
push the gear lever to the left then
forwards.
* According to engine.
GEAR CHANGE INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consump-
tion by advising the driver to change up
a g e a r o n v e h i c l e s fi t t e d w i t h a m a n u a l
gearbox.
Operation
The system acts solely in the context of
economical driving.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulso-
r y . I n f a c t , t h e c o n fi g u r a t i o n o f t h e r o a d ,
t h e a m o u n t o f t r a f fi c a n d s a f e t y r e m a i n
determining factors when choosing the
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated. Example:
- You are in third gear.
In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on the
p e r f o r m a n c e o f t h e e n g i n e ( fi r m
pressure on the accelerator pedal, for
example, when overtaking...), the sys-
tem will not recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- e n g a g i n g o f fi r s t g e a r ,
- engaging of reverse gear,
- engaging of a lower gear. - You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the form of
an arrow on the instrument panel dis-
play.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.
This equipment will become available
during the year.

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P or N to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the handbrake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is pro-
grammed to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning light,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction display, indicates
a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
emergency mode and is locked in 3rd
gear. You may feel a substantial knock
when changing from P to R and from N
to R . This will not cause any damage to
the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This warning light may also come on if a
door is opened.
I f t h e b a t t e r y i s fl a t a n d t h e l e -
ver is in position P , it will not
be possible to change to an-
other position.
Above all, do not force the lever as
this could damage the gearbox.
Never press the brake and accelera-
tor pedals at the same time. Brake or
accelerate using the right foot only.
Pressing both pedals simultaneously
could damage the gearbox.
Manual operation
Select position M for sequential
changing of the six gears.
Push the lever towards the + sign to
change up a gear.
Pull the lever towards the - sign to
change down a gear.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
If the lever is not in position
P , when the driver's door
is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is
switched off, an audible signal is
heard and a message appears.
Return the lever to position P ; the
audible signal stops and the mes-
sage disappears.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selec-
tor between two positions).
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1 automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
In the event of under-revving or over-
r e v v i n g , t h e g e a r s e l e c t e d fl a s h e s f o r a
few seconds, then the actual gear en-
gaged is displayed.
