Changing
the programmed
speed
There are two methods
of memorising a
speed higher than the
previous one:
Switching the function off
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by three dashes. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the system
checked.
Cancelling the programmed
reference speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary,
after switching off the ignition, the
system no longer memorises a speed. Without using the accelerator:
- press the Set + button.
A brief press increases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Using the accelerator:
- exceed the memorised speed until
the speed required is reached,
- press the Set + or Set - button.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
- press the Set - button.
A brief press decreases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).
- Place the dial in position 0 or
switch off the ignition to switch
everything off.
Good practice
When changing the programmed
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
slippery roads or in heavy traffi c.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near
the pedals.
To avoid any jamming under the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
on the fl oor are positioned correctly,
- never place one mat on top of
another.

Steering mounted controls
However, pressing the pedal beyond
this point of resistance to the fl oor
permits exceeding of the programmed
speed. To resume use of the limiter,
simply reduce the pressure on the
accelerator pedal gradually and return
to a speed below that programmed.
The operating actions may be
carried out when stationary, with the
engine running, or with the vehicle
moving. This speed limiter shows the function
selection status on the instrument
panel and displays the programmed
speed:
SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"
Function selected,
displaying of the
"Speed Limiter"
symbol.
Function deactivated,
last programmed
speed - OFF
(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
Function activated
(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
Vehicle speed above
(example 70 mph
(118 km/h)),
the programmed
speed is displayed
fl ashing.
Operating fault
detected,
OFF - the dashes
fl ash. "This is the selected speed which the
driver does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the engine
running while stationary or with the
vehicle moving. The minimum speed
which can be programmed is 20 mph
(30 km/h).
The speed of the vehicle responds
to the pressure of the driver's foot as
far as the accelerator pedal point of
resistance which indicates that the
programmed speed has been reached.

Steering mounted controls
Exceeding the programmed
speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal in order
to exceed the programmed speed
will have no effect unless you press
the pedal fi rmly beyond the point of
resistance .
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed fl ashes.
To return to the limiter function, reduce
your speed to below the programmed
speed.
Switching the function off
- Place the dial in position 0 or switch
off the ignition to switch the system
off.
The last programmed speed remains in
the memory.
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared
then replaced by three dashes.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
Good practice
Flashing of the speed
The speed fl ashes:
- following forcing of the accelerator
point of resistance,
- when the limiter cannot prevent an
increase in the vehicle speed due
to the profi le of the road or on a
steep descent,
- in the event of sharp acceleration.
In any event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
Always pay attention to the profi le
of the road and sharp acceleration
and stay in complete control of your
vehicle.
To avoid any jamming under the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
on the fl oor are positioned correctly,
- never place one mat on top of
another.

Ventilation
Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO is displayed or the value 27 by
turning until HI is displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is
no advantage in changing the value
displayed in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The system
will use its maximum performance to
reach the comfort value set.
DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE SETTINGS
Automatic operation
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning
system operating mode.
Driver or passenger side comfort
value
The value indicated in the screen
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase the value. A setting
around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the dashboard.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is displayed.
In accordance with the
comfort value selected,
the system controls the
distribution, the fl ow and the intake
of air to guarantee comfort and a
suffi cient circulation of air in the
passenger compartment. No further
action on your part is required. When the engine is cold, to prevent
an excessive diffusion of cold air, the
air diffuser will reach its optimum level
gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are
stored when the ignition is switched off
and are reinstated the next time the
vehicle is started.
The automatic function will no longer
be maintained if you change a setting
manually (AUTO is cleared).

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL
(ESP)
These systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent
the wheels skidding, by acting 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.
Use the ESP to hold your course
without attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back
on course.
Disarming the ASR/ESP
systems
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems to make the wheels spin
and regain grip.
Operating check
Good practice
The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but
should not incite the driver to take risks
or to drive at high speed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the fi tting and repair
procedures within the PEUGEOT
network are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The LED fl ashes when the
ASR or ESP is triggered.
They engage again:
- automatically above 30 mph
(50 km/h), When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the indicator
light comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The warning light may also come on if
the tyres are under-infl ated. Check the
pressure of each tyre.
- Press the button or turn
the dial to the ESP OFF
position (depending on
model).
- The indicator light comes on: the ASR
and ESP systems no longer act.
- manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending on model).
