SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"
However, pressing the pedal beyond this
point of resistance to the floor allows the
pro
grammed speed to be exceeded. To
resume use o
f the limiter, simply reduce
the
pressure on the accelerator pedal
gradually and return to a speed below that
programmed.

Operating fault detected,
OFF- th

displays the programmed speed:
The operating actions may be carried out

or with the vehicle movin
g.
"This is the selected speed which the driver does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the en
gine running while stationary or with the vehicle moving. The minimum speed which can beprogrammed is 20 mph (30 km/h).
The s
peed of the vehicle responds to the pressure of the driver's foot as far as the
accelerator pedal point of resistance which
indicates that the programmed speed has
been reached.

Flashing of the speed

The speed flashes:


- following forcing of the accelerator point
of resistance,

- when the limiter cannot prevent an
increase in the vehicle speed due to the
profile of the road or on a steep descent,

- in the event of sharp acceleration.



Exceeding the programmed speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal in order to
exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect unless you press the pedal firmly
beyond the point of resistance.


Good practice



Operating fault

The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by three dashes.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the s
ystem checked.
The limiter is deactivated temporaril
y and
the pro
grammed speed flashes.
To return to the limiter
function, reduce your
speed to below the programmed speed.
Switching the function off



- Place the switch in position 0
or switch
off the ignition to switch the system off.
The last programmed speed remains in the
memory.
In an
y event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.

Always pay attention to the profile of the
road and sharp acceleration and stay in
complete control of your vehicle.

To avoid any jamming under the pedals:


- ensure that the mat and its fixings on the
floor are positioned correctly,

- never place one mat on top of another.

corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in de
grees Celsius or
F
ahrenheit.
Automatic operation
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
l
ocated on the windscreen behind the

t
he system controls the distribution,
the

and a suffi cient circulation of air in the passen
ger
compartment. No further action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent anexcessive diffusion of cold air, the ventilation
will reach its optimum level gradually.
For
your comfort, the settings are stored
when the ignition is switched off and arereinstated the next time the vehicle isstarted, if the temperature in the passenger compartment has not changed significantly;
otherwise, operation resumes in automatic

Rear suspension


Metal suspension
This equipment adopts long movement limiters
which make it possible to
guarantee stable
behaviour both when loaded and when empt
y.
No action on your part is required except to
ensure that maintenance is carried out and that
the authorised loads are com
plied with.irrespective o
f the weight of the load, within
the limit of the authorised values.
On board,
the increasin
g or lightening of the load on
the vehicle's plat
form is detected by two
hei
ght sensors. When all of the doors are
closed, the sensors trigger the automatic
hei
ght correction and determine the optimum
hei
ght of the sill for the vehicle's driving
conditions.

Deactivation of automatic height correction
The control which permits deactivation o
f
automatic re
gulation is located on the right-
hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.
REAR SUSPENSION
You must deactivate automatic height
correction manually in the following
situations:


- when working underneath the vehicle,

- when changing a wheel,

- when the vehicle is being transported by
lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...
Two t
ypes of suspension are available.

Electric folding / unfolding
If
your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
mirrors can be
folded or unfolded electrically
from the inside, with the vehicle parked and

- Pull switch A
rearwards.



Manual door mirrors

Move the lever in all four directions to

When the vehicle is parked, the door mirrors
can be folded back manually.
Th
e mirror is convex to broaden the field of
side vision. Objects observed are, in reality,
closer than they appear. Therefore, take this
into account in order to
judge the distance
correctly.

Parking sensors

SAFETY

Engage reverse gear

An audible signal confi rms the activation of the
system by engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle. When
the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

Stop the assistance

Change to neutral.

REAR PARKING SENSORS

The audible and/or visual rear parking
sensor system consists of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper. The
sensors detect any obstacle which enters
the field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre will no longer be detected
at the end of the manoeuvre due to the
blind spots between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.

Activation / Deactivation

You can activate or deactivate the
system by pressing this button.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, when reverse
gear is engaged the LED in the button
comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.


Good practice

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
The system will be deactivated automatically
if a trailer is being towed or if a bicycle
carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a
towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by
PEUGEOT).
The parking assistance cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Display in the screen


You are advised to deactivate the system if
your vehicle is fitted with a rear ladder or if
you are transporting a load which exceeds
the length of the vehicle.
The activation or deactivation of the system
is stored when the vehicle stops.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)

These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding
losses of control of the vehicle on
acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of the vehicle
to be improved on acceleration. acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.

Deactivating the ASR / ESP systems

In certain exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful
to deactivate the ASR and ESP systems to
make the wheels spin and regain grip.


- Press the button, located on the centre
console.

- The indicator lamp comes on: the ASR
and ESP systems no longer operate.
Operating check

Good practice

The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
encourage the driver to take risks or to drive
at high speed.
The operation of these systems is assured
only if the recommendations of the
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components, the
electronic components and fitting and repair
procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Use the ESP to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required
by the driver, the ESP system automatically

Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The LED flashes when the ASR or
ESP is triggered.

They engage again:


- automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),

- manually by pressing the button again.
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in
the screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure
of each tyre.
