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 no longer has any effect unless it is pressed firmly,
which allows you to temporarily exceed theprogrammed speed.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed speed by releasing the accelerator.
The speed limiter is switched onmanuall
y: it requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is
switched off by manual foperation of the control.
The pro
grammed speed remains in the memorywhen the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in anycircumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replacethe need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.
This information also appears in the head-up display.

Press 5, the speed limiter is deactivated.
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.
The use of mats not approved byPEUGEOT may adversely affect the normal operation of the accelerator pedal and impede the operation of thespeed limiter.
Mats approved by PEUGEOT have a third fixing in the area of the pedals to avoid any risk of inter ference with thepedals.
In the event o
f a speed limiter fault, the speed
is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any action
on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: itrequires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph(40 km/h) and the engaging:
- 4th gear or higher on a manual gearbox,
- 2nd
gear or higher on an electronic gear control gearbox or automatic gearbox,
- position A
on the electronic gear control gearbox or Don the automatic gearbox.
Th
e cruise control is switched offmanuallyfor by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
on triggering of the ESC system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal. To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value. 1

Exceeding the programmed speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results
in flashing of this speed on the display.
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 speedchanging buttons: this may result in avery 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 vehicle from 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 fault, the speed
is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.

Driving
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensorslocated in the bumper.Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.
Parking sensors
This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The s
ystem 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 approaches 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 andthe obstacle becomes less than approximatelythirty 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
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear isengaged, 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), cer tain soundsources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
In th
e event of a malfunction
of the system, when reversegear is engaged this warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
wor
kshop.
Operating fault
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 interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in
forward gear, if no fur ther obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front par king sensors
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being towedor a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).
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 thefunction. The indicator lamp in the buttongoes off.
The sound emitted by the speaker (frontor rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front or behind.

Driving
System which measures the parking spaceavailable between two vehicles or obstacles. Itmeasures the size of the space and gives you
information on:
- the possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances needed for manoeuvring,
- the level of difficulty of the parkingmanoeuvre.
The s
ystem does not measure spaces which
are clearly much smaller or larger than the size of the vehicle.
The warning lamp in the control A
can have two different states:

-
on fixed:
the system is switched on by a press on control A.
- off:the system is not switched on.

Operation
When you have identified a parking space: )Engage a gear on a manual gearbox or put
the gear lever in position A (electronic gear control gearbox) or in position D(automaticgearbox). )Press button Ato star t the system. )Operate the direction indicator on theside where the space is to be measured; a message is displayed and the warning
lamp flashes to confirm that measurement
is in progress.
)During measurement, go for ward the
length of the space, at a speed less than
12 mph (20 km/h), to prepare for your manoeuvre. )Once the measurement has beencompleted, the system informs you of
the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre
by a message in the multifunction screen accompanied by an audible signal.
The system displays one of the following messages:
Parking possible
Parking difficult
Parking not advised
If the lateral distance between your vehicle and the parking space is toogreat, the system may not be able to measure the space.
The system remains available after each measurement and can therefore measure several spaces in succession. In poor or wintry weather, ensure thatthe sensors are free of dir t, ice or snow.
The parking space sensor systemdeactivates the front parking sensorswhen measuring forwards.
If there is a fault, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The s
ystem switches itself off automatically:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when
you switch off the ignition,
- if measuring is not requested,
- within five minutes of switching on thesystem,
- if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold
o
f 45 mph (70 km/h) for one minute.
