CRUISE CONTROL "CRUISE"
In order for it to be programmed or activated,
the vehicle speed must be
greater than 25 mph
(40 km/h) with at least 4th gear engaged. Function selected,
displa
y of the "Cruise
Control" s
ymbol.
Function deactivated,
OFF

(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
F
unction activated
(example at 65 mph (107 km/h)).

Vehicle speed above
(e.g. 73 mph (118 km/h)),
the pro
grammed speed
is displa
yed flashing.

Operating fault detected,
OFF
- th
e dashes flash. Thi
s cruise control shows the function
selection status in the instrument panel and
displays the programmed speed:
"This is the speed at which the driver wishes
t
o drive".
This aid to drivin
g in free-flowing traffic
enables the vehicle to maintain the speed
programmed by the driver, unless a steep
gradient makes this impossible.

Selecting the function



- Place the switch in the CRUISE
position.
The cruise control is selected but is
not yet active and no speed has been
programmed.



First activation/programming a speed



- Reach the chosen
speed by pressing the
accelerator.

- Press the SET -
or
SET +
button.
This pro
grammes/activates the reference
speed and the vehicle will maintain this
speed.
Temporarily exceeding the speed
It is possible to accelerate
and drive
momentarily at a speed greater than the
pro
grammed speed. The value programmed
flashes.
When the accelerator pedal is released, the
vehicle will return to the pro
grammed speed.
Reactivation



- Following deactivation of the cruise
control, press this button.
Y
our vehicle will return to the last
programmed speed.

Alternatively, you can repeat the "first
activation" procedure.
Deactivation (off)


- Press this button or the
brake or clutch pedal.



Changing the
programmed speed
There are two methods of
memorisin
g a speed higher
t
han the previous one:

Without using the accelerator:


- press the Set +
button.

A brief press increases the speed by 1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the speed in steps o
f
5 mph (km/h).

52
Steering mounted controls

Switching the function off



- Place the dial in position 0
or switch off
the ignition to switch everything off.

Good practice
When changing the programmed reference
speed by means of a maintained press,
pa
y attention as the speed can increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heav
y traffi c.
In the event o
f a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceedin
g the programmed speed.
In an
y event, the cruise control cannot
rep
lace the need to observe the speed limits,
nor can it replace the need
for vigilance and
responsibilit
y on the part of the driver.
It is advisable to leave
your feet near the
pe
dals.
To avoid an
y jamming under the pedals:


- ensure that the mat and its fi xings on the
fl oor are positioned correctly,

- never place one mat on top of another.



Cancelling the programmed
reference speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
lon
ger memorises a speed. Usin
g the accelerator:


- exceed the memorised speed until the
speed required is reached,

- press the Set +
or Set -
button.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:


- press the Set -
button.

A brief press decreases the speed by
1 mph
(km/h).

A maintained press decreases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced b
y three dashes. Contact a
PEUGE
OT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.

FIXED SPEED LIMITER

If your vehicle is fitted with this function,
the speed o
f your vehicle can be limited to
a fixed speed of approximatel
y 56, 60, 70
or 80 mph
(90, 100, 110 or 130 km/h). The
fixed maximum speed cannot be changed.
The
fixed speed limiter is not a function
of the cruise control type. It cannot be
act
ivated or deactivated by the driver while
drivin
g.

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.
Function selected,
displa
ying of the "Speed
Limiter" s
ymbol.
Function deactivated,
last programmed speed - OFF
(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
Function activated
(example at 65 mph (107 km/h)).
Vehicle speed above
(example 70 mph
(118 km/h)),
t
he programmed speed
is displayed flashing.
Operating fault detected,
OFF- th
e dashes flash. This speed limiter shows the
function
selection status in the instrument panel and
displays the programmed speed:
The operating actions may be carried out
w
hen stationary, with the engine running,
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 stationar
y or with the vehicle moving. The
minimum speed which can be programmed is
20 mph
(30 km/h).
The speed o
f 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.

Steering mounted controls

Selecting the function



- Place the switch in the LIMIT
position.
The limiter is selected but is not yet
active. The screen indicates the last
programmed speed.

activating the limiter but with the engine
runnin
g.
To memorise a speed hi
gher than the
prev
ious one:


- press the Set +
button.
A brief press increases the speed b
y
1 mph (km/h).

A maintained press increases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:


- press the Set -
button.
A brie
f press decreases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).


Activation/Deactivation (off)

Pressing this button once activates the
limiter, pressing the button again deactivates
it
(OFF).
