The speed limiter 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.
The speed limiter is switched on
man-
ually: 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.
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.
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by
the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is
reached, pressing the accelerator ped-
al no longer has any effect unless it is
pressed fi rmly, which permits temporary
exceeding of the programmed speed.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed by releasing the
accelerator.

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.

The gear change requests are only car-

It is not necessary to release the accel-
erator during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the
gearbox changes down automatically
so that the vehicle picks up in the right
gear.
At very low speed, if reverse
gear is requested, this will only
be taken into account when
the vehicle is immobilised. The Foot
on brake
warning lamp may fl ash on
the instrument panel to prompt you
to brake.
At high speed, if reverse gear is re-
quested, the N
indicator lamp will
fl ash and the gearbox will change to
neutral automatically. To engage a
gear again, return the lever to posi-
tion A
or M
.
If you leave the vehicle, place
the lever in position N
and
you must switch off the hybrid
system by switching off the ignition
( Ready
lamp 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 %.
CHECKS

CHECKING LEVELS
Oil specifi cation
Oil level
The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched on
using the oil level indicator on the
instrument panel, or using the dip-
stick.
This manual check will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel will only
be valid 30 minutes after topping up. The oil must be the correct
grade for your engine and con-
form to the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations.
Brake fluid level
The brake fl uid level should be close to
the "MAX" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the
engine cold, to check the level.
It is normal to top up the oil level
between services. PEUGEOT
recommends that you check
the oil level and top up if necessary ev-
ery 3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation. In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the fan may oper-
ate after the vehicle has been switched
off, even if the engine is cold.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
When working under the bon-
net, take care, as certain ar-
eas of the engine may be
extremely hot (risk of burns).
Before doing anything under
the bonnet, switch off the igni-
tion ( Ready
lamp off) to avoid
any risk of injury resulting from auto-
matic operation of the engine.
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the corre-
sponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
low fl uid level is indicated by an
audible signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen.
Top up the reservoir when you stop the
vehicle.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.
