The cruise control cannot, in
any circumstances, replace
the need to observe speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the
part of the driver.
Cruise control is switched on
manually:
it requires a minimum vehicle speed of
25 mph (40 km/h) and the engagement
second gear in sequential mode (position M
).

Cruise control is switched off
manually
or by pressing the brake pedal or on
triggering of the "dynamic stability con-
trol" system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.






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. Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

DRIVING
152
When the cruise control is
switched on, be careful if you
maintain the pressure on one
of the programmed speed chang-
ing buttons: this may result in a very
rapid change in the speed of your
vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on slip-
pery roads or in heavy traffi c.
On a steep descent, the cruise con-
trol will not be able to prevent the
vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed 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.



Programming

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.


Return to normal driving



)
Turn dial 1
to the "0"
position: the cruise control mode is
deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.



Operating fault

In the event of a cruise control malfunc-
tion, the speed is cleared resulting in
fl ashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

)
Set the programmed speed by ac-
celerating to the required speed,
then press button 2
or 3
(e.g.:
70 mph (110 km/h)).


)
Switch off the cruise control by pressing button 4
: the
display confi rms that it has been switched off (OFF).

)
Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4

again.

You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2

and 3
:


- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,

- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,

- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.

)
Turn wheel 1
to the "CRUISE"

position: the cruise control mode
is selected but is not switched on
(OFF).

Stopping the vehicle

It is essential to press the
brake pedal when starting the
hybrid system.
When parking, is it essential to apply
the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle, whatever the circumstances.


When immobilising the vehicle,
with the hybrid system active,
it is essential to place the gear
lever in neutral N
.
Before doing anything in the engine
compartment, check that the gear
lever is in neutral N
, the parking
brake is applied, the ignition is off
and the Ready
lamp is off.
Before switching off the hybrid system,
you can choose to:


- move to position N
to engage neutral,

- leave the gear engaged; in this
case, it will not be possible to move
the vehicle.
In both cases, it is essential that you
apply the parking brake to immobilise
the vehicle.
Move off and drive,
without accelerating


- put the gear lever in position N
so as
to be in neutral,

- press the brake pedal,

- place the levier in position A
, R
or M
and release the brake. the vehicle
moves off and runs at about 6 mph
(10 km/h) without accelerating.


This function does not operate
with a door open and/or on slopes
greater than about 5 %.

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

This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place
of the vigilance and responsi-
bility of the driver.
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.

Rear parking sensors


Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency
of which increases as the vehicle ap-
proaches 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 ap-
proximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.


Visual assistance
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.

DRIVING
158
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 front parking sensors are inter-
rupted 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).






Front parking sensors

Deactivation/Activation of the front
and rear parking sensors
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.


Operating fault



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).


In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse 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.


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

The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is in front or behind.
