wiping speed is adapted automatically to the
intensity of the rainfall.
Automatic wiping: 1 notch downwards.
This is confirmed by one wipe. Must be
reactivated each time the ignition is

Steering mounted controls
CRUISE CONTROL
"This is the speed at which the driver wishes to
travel".
This aid to driving in free-fl owing traffi c conditions
enables the vehicle to maintain a constant
speed programmed by the driver, except when a
considerable load is carried on a steep gradient.
In order to be programmed or activated,
the vehicle speed must be greater than
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h), with at least
4th gear engaged.
Function selected.
Function deactivated.
If your vehicle is fitted with cruise control,
this is displayed on the instrument panel by
an indicator located in the rev counter.

Selecting the function - ON
When the selection is
set to ON , this switches
the function on.
If your vehicle is fitted
with this screen, a message confirms the
action.
Programming a speed
Accelerate to the required speed, with 4th or
5th gear engaged.
Move the control upwards (+), for
approximately one second, to store this
speed.
Release the pressure on the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle will maintain this speed.
Switching off/deactivating the function
Press the brake or clutch pedal or place
the dial in the OFF position, the indicator is
switched off.
If the ESP or ASR comes into operation,
the cruise control function is deactivated
temporarily.
- increase the speed in steps, by means of brief presses, or continuously by
pressing and holding the control
upwards (+ sign),
Temporarily exceeding the programmed speed
When the cruise control is active, it is still
possible to exceed the programmed speed
by pressing the accelerator pedal
(to overtake another vehicle for example).
- decrease the speed continuously by pressing and holding the control
downwards (- sign).
Restore - RES
To restore the vehicle's
programmed speed (for example
after pressing the brake or clutch
pedal), gradually return to the chosen speed
and press RES .
The indicator comes on, the cruise control
function is restored.
Changing the programmed speed while the cruise control is in operation
You can:

Steering mounted controls
Good practice
When changing the programmed reference
speed by pressing and holding the control,
take care as the speed may increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep gradient, the cruise control will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to comply
with speed limits nor can it replace the need
for vigilance and responsibility on the part
of driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
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.
Cancelling the programmed speed
When the vehicle stops, after the ignition is
switched off, the system no longer stores
any speed.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction, the function is
switched off and the indicator switches off.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked.

DEMISTING AND DEFROSTING
Manual mode
Direct the control to this air
distribution setting.
For faster and more effective
demisting and defrosting of the
windscreen: Defrosting the rear screen and
mirrors
Only operates when the engine
is running. Pressing this button
activates the rapid demisting-
defrosting of the rear screen and
door mirrors.
This function switches off automatically to
prevent excessive energy consumption. It
stops when the engine is switched off but
resumes when the engine is started again.
Pressing this button switches the function off.
- increase the air flow setting,
Returning to the exterior air
intake position permits renewal
of the air in the passenger
compartment.
Windscreen and side windows
The ventilation outlets located at the base
of the windscreen and the side vents for the
side windows increase the effectiveness
of the demisting and defrosting. Do not
obstruct these air outlets.
The pollen filter continuously and effectively
filters dust.
Air recirculation (which can be activated by
the driver or the passenger) isolates the
passenger compartment from the exterior
atmosphere. However, this position should
only be used temporarily, normal use is to
drive with the control positioned with the
exterior air intake open.
- move the exterior air intake
control temporarily to air
recirculation.

CORRECT USE OF THE AIR CONDITIONING
In order to be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior temperature
remains high after a prolonged period
parked in the sun, first ventilate the
passenger compartment for a few minutes. For even air distribution, ensure that the
exterior air intake grille located at the base
of the windscreen is not obstructed and that
the side and central vents, the air outlets on
the floor and the air extractor at the rear are
open.
The air conditioning is useful in all seasons as
it eliminates condensation and air humidity. Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in good working order.
Have the filter elements (air filter and
passenger compartment filter) replaced
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
have them replaced twice as often.
It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under
the vehicle when parked.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are: 4 adjustable central vents, of
which 2 can be directed sideways (right
or left) towards the top of the body and
4 side vents which can be directed towards
the passengers. The air vents directed
towards the floor of the vehicle complete
the equipment.
