Exceeding the programmed speed

deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed. When the cruise control is switched on,
be careful if you maintain the pressure
on one of the programmed speed
changing buttons: this may result in a
very rapid change in the speed of your
vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control
will not be able to prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.
In the event of a cruise control fault, the speed
is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
