Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal no longer
has any effect unless it is pressed firmly,
which allows you to temporarily exceed the
programmed speed.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed by releasing the accelerator.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually: it
requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by manual
operation of the control.
The programmed speed remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
obser ve speed limits, nor can it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility
on the par t of the driver.
This information also appears in the
head-up display.
For more information on the head-up
display, refer to the relevant page in this
"Driving" section.

Driving
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 engaging:
- 4th gear or higher on a manual gearbox,
- 2nd gear or higher on an electronic gear
control gearbox or automatic gearbox,
- position A
on the electronic gear control
gearbox or D
on the automatic gearbox.
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 accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

Driving
Operation
When you have identified a parking space:
)
Engage a gear on a manual gearbox or put
the gear lever in position A
(electronic gear
control gearbox) or in position D
(automatic
gearbox).
)
Press button A
to star t the system.
)
Operate the direction indicator on the
side where the space is to be measured;
a message is displayed and the warning
lamp flashes to confirm that measurement
is in progress.
)
During measurement, go for ward the
length of the space, at a speed less than
12 mph (20 km/h), to prepare for your
manoeuvre.
)
Once the measurement has been
completed, the system informs you of
the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre
by a message in the multifunction screen
accompanied by an audible signal.
The system displays one of the following messages:
Parking possible
Parking difficult
Parking not advised
If the lateral distance between your
vehicle and the parking space is too
great, the system may not be able to
measure the space.
The system remains available after
each measurement and can therefore
measure several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are free of dir t, ice or snow.
The parking space sensor system
deactivates the front parking sensors
when measuring for wards.
If there is a fault, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The system switches itself off automatically:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measuring is not requested,
- within five minutes of switching on the
system,
- if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold
of 45 mph (70 km/h) for one minute.

Visibility
Lighting left on audible
signal
An audible signal when a front door
is opened warns the driver that the
vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with the
ignition off and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes
into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging
the battery. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.
Daytime lighting, compulsory in cer tain
countries, which comes on automatically when
the engine is star ted making the vehicle more
visible to other road users.
Daytime running lamps
This function is assured:
- in countries where it is imposed by
regulations, by illumination of the dipped
beam headlamps with the sidelamps and
number plate lamps.
- for other countries where it is provided, by
the use of dedicated lamps.
This function can be activated
or deactivated via the vehicle
configuration menu.
The lighting goes off when you switch
off the ignition, but you can always
switch it on again using the lighting
control stalk.

Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of
the sidelamps on the traffic side only.
)
Within one minute of switching off the
ignition, operate the lighting control stalk up
or down depending on the traffic side (for
example: when parking on the left; lighting
control stalk upwards; the right hand
sidelamps are on).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and
illumination of the corresponding direction
indicator warning lamp in the instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to position 0 or switch on
the ignition. Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's ignition has
been switched off makes the driver's exit easier
when the light is poor.
Manual guide-me-home
lighting
Switching on
)
Within 30 seconds or a minute after
switching of the ignition (according to the
automatic guide-me-home lighting duration
programmed in the configuration menu),
"flash" the headlamps using the lighting
stalk.
)
A fur ther "headlamp flash" switches the
function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting switches
off automatically after a set time.

Adaptive lighting
Switching on
The driver can take over at any time, if the
circumstances dictate: System which automatically changes between
dipped and main beam according to the driving
conditions, using a sensor in the rear view
mirror.
The system is active from 15 mph (25 km/h)
and is deactivated below 9 mph (15 km/h).

)
or by dipping the headlamps manually
using the lighting control stalk, whether
in the "AUTO" or "Dipped/main beam
headlamps" position.
Flashing the headlamps does not
deactivate the system.
The state of the system is stored in
memory when switching off the ignition.
This automatic headlamp dipping
system is a driving aid. The driver
remains responsible for the vehicle's
lighting and its correct use for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility
and traffic.
The system may suffer inter ference or
not work correctly:
- under conditions of poor visibility
(for example, snowfall, heavy rain
or thick fog, ...),
- if the windscreen is dir ty, misted or
obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of
the sensor,
- if the vehicle is facing highly
reflective signs.
The system is not able to detect:
- road users that do not have their
own lighting, such as pedestrians,
- road users whose lighting is
obscured, such as vehicles running
behind a safety barrier (on a
motor way, for example),
- road users at the top or bottom of
a steep slope, on twisty roads, on
crossroads.
