Speed limiter
exceeding 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:
it requires a pro
grammed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).

The speed limiter is switched offby manual foperation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporaril
y 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 to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance andresponsibility on the par t of the driver.

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

When the cruise control is switched on, be careful if you maintain the pressure onone of the programmed speed changingbuttons: this may result in a very rapidchange 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 avoid any 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.

Safety
Group of supplementary systems which helpyou to obtain optimum braking in completesafety in emergency situations:


- anti-lock brakin
g system (ABS),

- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),

- emergency braking assistance (EBA).

















Braking assistance systems


Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution

Linked systems which improve the stability andmanoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in par ticular on poor or slippery surfaces.

Activation

The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
Operating fault
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.


When braking in an emergency, press very firmly without releasing thepressure.
When replacing wheels (tyres andrims), ensure that they conform to the manufacturer's recommendations. I
f this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signaland a message in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
I
f this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP
and ABSwarning lamps, accompanied by anaudible signal and a message in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of the electronic brake
force distribution which could result in loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.In either case, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or aqualified workshop.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
Coasting with the engine off results in aloss of power assistance for braking.

Safety
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of thedriving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts on the
brake o
f one or more wheels and on the engine to
keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the
driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This is indicated b
y flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.



The ASR /ESP systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving, butthis should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these systems depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components, the electronic components and the assembly and repair procedures used by thePEUGEOT dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or aqualified workshop.



Operating fault

Illumination of the warning lamp,
accompanid b
y a message in the screen indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically every time the ignition is switched of, or from
30 mph (50 km/h).) Press this button again to reactivate them
manually.
The lamp in the button goes off.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel
indicates the reactivation of the ASR and ESP
s
ystems.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheelscan move freely and regain grip.














Trajectory control systems
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.The displa
y of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and ESP systems are deactivated.
) Press this button button, located on
the dashboard (driver's side), until the corresponding symbol appears in the
instrument panel screen.
The lamp in the button comes on. Contact a PEUGE
OT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASR /ESP s
ystems checked.


Coasting with the engine off results in a loss of power assistance for the steering.
