Driving
As the engine torque is applied to all four wheels, the condition of the tyres
has a considerable impact on theperformance of the vehicle. Ensure that all four tyres are in good condition. Avoid driving the vehicle in sandy or muddy areas or in other areas in whichthe wheels could spin. Spinning the wheels places thetransmission components under pressure and could cause a seriousmalfunction. Do not drive the vehicle through deep water. Avoid driving over excessively uneventerrain (risk of scraping under the body or of grounding on crossing a bridge).
Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode display flashes, the vehicle switches automatically to front "2WD"
transmission mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A
.
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is displayed on
the instrument panel, let the transmission cool
down then wait for the displa
y to clear beforesetting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed alternatelyand if "SERVICE REQUIRED" is displayed in
the instrument panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Have your vehicle towed on a flatbed. The vehicle must not be towed with the front or rear wheels on the ground evenif it is in front "2WD" (2 wheel drive)mode.

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the vehicle speed at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually:
the vehicle speed must be at least 25 mph(40 km/h) and second gear or higher must be engaged in the case of a manual gearbox.
Th
e cruise control is switched offmanually, byfan action on the brake or clutch pedal or if theASC system is triggered.
The pro
grammed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the need to comply with speed limits or of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver. The controls o
f this system are grouped
together on the steering wheel.1."ON/OFF"
button: activation / deactivation of the cruise control mode.
2
."COAST SET"button: store a drivingspeed and decrease the cruising speed. 3."ACC RES"
button: increase the cruising speed and recall the stored speed.4."CANCEL"button: stop control of the
vehicle's speed.
Steering mounted controls
When you press button 1, the "CRUISE"indicator comes on in the instrument panel.

Programming
)Press button 1. )Set the programmed speed byaccelerating to the required speed, then press button 2 "COAST SET" .
To return to the pro
grammed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.

Visual assistance
Front par king sensors
Deactivation / Activation of thefront and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button goes off.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
Operating fault
The front parking sensors are triggered when
an obstacle is detected in front, a gear isengaged (position Dfor vehicles with a CVT gearbox) and the speed of the vehicle remains
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than five seconds
in for ward
gear, if no fur ther obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Remember to deactivate the system if towing a trailer or caravan.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure thatthe sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When the vehicle is moving at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer tain soundsources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event o
f an problem, when reverse gear
is engaged this lamp in the button flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal.This supplements the audiblesignal by displaying bars in the screen, in front of or behind the
vehicle.If one of the sensors is fault
y, it
flashes in the instrument panel
screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. Th
ese bars flash at the start of the manoeuvrethen become fixed from a certain distance between the vehicle and the obstacle.

Safety
Group of supplementary systems which helpyou to obtain optimum braking in complete safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD).
Braking assistance systems
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in par ticular on poor or slippery surfaces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system is active if the
vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h).
It is deactivated when the vehicle speed falls
below 3 mph (5 km/h).
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
When the vehicle is stationar
y
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by
the indication on the instrument panel screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock brakin
gsystem which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
The vehicle retains normal braking.
Drive carefully at moderate speed and contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop assoon as possible.
When braking in an emergency, pressvery firmly without releasing thepressure.
The warning lamp comes on for a fewseconds when the ignition is switched on (ON position). If it does not switch off or does not come on, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Safety
Associated systems which guarantee the directional stability of the vehicle within the limits of the laws of physics:
- traction control (TCL),
- active stability control (ASC).
Traction control and active stability control
Traction control optimises traction to prevent
wheel spin, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
Active stability control acts on the brake of one
or more wheels and on the engine to keep the
vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver.
Activation
These systems are activated automaticallyeach time the vehicle is started.
The illumination o
f this warning lamp
in the instrument panel indicates
that the ASC and TCL systems are deactivated.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASC system, so that the wheels can movefreely and regain grip.
This is indicated b
y flashing of this symbol on the instrument panel screen.
Trajectory control systems
)Press this button, located to the left of thesteering wheel, until the symbol appears in
the instrument panel screen.
Operation
They operate when the vehicle speed is higher
than 10 mph (15 km / h).
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.

Safety
Reactivation Operating fault
The illumination of one of these warning lamps accompanied by a message in the instrument panel screen indicates a malfunction of these
systems.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifiedworkshop to have the ASC/ TCL systemschecked.
The ASC/TCL systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving, but this 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 themanufacturer's recommendations on:
- wheels (tyres and rims),
- braking components,
- electronic components,
- assembly and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
)Press this button again to reactivate theASC and TCL systems.
When the warning lamp goes off, this indicates
the reactivation of the ASC and TCL systems.
