EXCEEDING THE PROGRAMMED SPEED

Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the
programmed speed will not have any effect unless you
press the pedal fi rmly
past the point of resistance
.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the
programmed speed, which is still displayed, fl ashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the
fl ashing of the programmed speed.


EXITING THE SPEED LIMITER MODE



)
Turn dial 1
to the "0"
position: the speed limiter mode is deselected.
It disappears from the display.



OPERATING FAULT

In the event of a speed limiter malfunction, the speed is cleared
resulting in fl ashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration,
the speed limiter will not be able to prevent the vehicle from

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 off
manually or by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal or on triggering of the ESP system for safety reasons.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.


STEERING MOUNTED CONTROL

The functions of this system are grouped together on the steering
mounted control.


1.
Cruise control mode selection dial.

2.
Speed programming/value decrease button.

3.
Speed programming/value increase button.

4.
Cruise control off/resume button.
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times. The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum
vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engaging:


- of fourth gear on the manual gearbox,

- of second gear on the automatic gearbox, in sequential driving
mode,

- of position D
on the automatic gearbox.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing
the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator

EXCEEDING THE PROGRAMMED SPEED

Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the
programmed speed results in fl ashing of this speed in
the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of
intentional or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically
cancels the fl ashing of the speed.


EXITING CRUISE CONTROL MODE



)
Turn dial 1
to the "0"
position: the cruise control mode is
deselected. It disappears from the display.



OPERATING FAULT

In the event of a cruise control malfunction, the speed is cleared
resulting in fl ashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
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 traffi c.
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 fi t one mat on top of another.

DRIVING

This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.

Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks cone, etc.) detected
initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre due
to the presence of blind spots.






PARKING SENSORS

This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree,
gate, etc.) which comes within the fi eld of detection of sensors located
in the bumper.

REAR PARKING SENSORS

The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear. This is
accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit reverse gear.


Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the
frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on
which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes
less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

Deactivation/Activation of the front and rear parking sensors

Visual assistance







FRONT PARKING SENSORS

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are
triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the
vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the
obstacle is in front or behind.
The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more
than three seconds in forward gear, if no further obstacles are detected
or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

This supplements the audible signal by displaying bars in the
multifunction screen which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is also displayed in the
screen.

The function is deactivated by pressing this button. The indicator lamp
in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the function. The indicator lamp in
the button goes off.

DRIVING


Deactivation/Activation of the rear parking sensors

The function is deactivated or activated via the vehicle
confi guration menu.
The status of the function is stored when the ignition is
switched off.
For more information on access to the parking sensors menu,
refer to the section covering the confi guration of vehicle systems.



OPERATING FAULT

In the event of a malfunction of the system, when reverse gear
is engaged this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not
covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h),
certain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may
trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.


The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being
towed or a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle fi tted with a towbar or
bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).
