Brightness adjustment


We recommend that adjustments are made using these buttons only when the vehicle is stationary. When stationary or while driving, no objects
should be placed around the strip (or in itsrecess) so as to not impede deployment of the strip and its correct operation.


In certain extreme weather conditions (rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, ...) the head-up display may not be legibleor may suffer temporary interference. Some sunglasses may hamper readingof the information.
To clean the strip, use a clean, soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth or detergent or solventproducts as these could scratch thestrip or damage the non-reflectivecoating.

Height adjustment

Speed limiter
exceeding 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 any circumstances,replace the need to obser ve speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.
This information also appears in the head-up display.

Programming


Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have
any effect unless you press the pedal firmlypast the ypoint of resistance.e The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed,
which is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the
programmed speed.

)
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 the
speed limiter.
Mats approved by PEUGEOT have a third fixing in the area of the pedals to avoid any risk of interference 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.


Operating fault

You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3
:


- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,

- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,

- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press. )Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4 . )Suspend the speed limiter by pressing button 4: the screen confirms the suspension with "Pause".)Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4

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 the flashing 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.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

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 s
ystem is switched on by engaging reversegear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system 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 b
y the speaker (right or left)
indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
t
he obstacle becomes less than approximatelythirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.



Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal bydisplaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger"symbol is displayed in the screen.
