Speed limiter


System which prevents the vehicle fromexceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal in the normalmanner no longer has any effect.

The speed limiter is switched onmanually: the programmed speed must be at least 20 mph(30 km/h).

The speed limiter is switched offby manual foperation of the control.

The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below the programmed speed.


The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need torespect speed limits, nor can it replacethe need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.

ystem are grouped

Driving
) Turn thumb wheel 1to the "LIMIT"position: the speed limiter mode
is selected but is not switched on(PAUSE).
You do not have to switch the speed limiter
on in order to set the speed.

Programming
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed willnot have any effect unless you press the pedal firmlypast the point of resistance.The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmedspeed, which is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the
flashing of the programmed speed.


Leaving limiter mode
)Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "0"position:
the speed limiter mode is deselected. The
displa
y returns to the distance recorder.
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter willnot be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.
To a v o i d a ny risk of jamming of the pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,

- do not fit one mat on top of another.

In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed
is cleared resultin
g in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.


Operating fault
)Set the speed value by pressing button 2
or 3(e.g.: 55 mph (90 km/h)). You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3:- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.


Exceeding the programmed speed
)Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.

Cruise control


System which automatically maintains thespeed 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), as well as the engagement of:


- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,

- second gear on an electronic or automatic gearbox, in sequential mode,

- position A
on an electronic gearbox or position D
on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off manually for by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the electronic stability system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporaril
y by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switchin

You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3:- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.


Intentional or unintentional exceedin
g of the programmed speed results
in flashing of this speed in the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels theflashing 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 vehiclefrom exceeding the programmed speed.
To a v o i d a ny risk of jamming of the pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.

In the event o
f a cruise control malfunction,
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the
dashes. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
