Steering mounted controls Displays in the instrument panel
The cruise control is switched on manually: it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engagement of: - fourth gear on the manual gearbox, - second gear in sequential mode on an electronic or automatic gearbox, - position A on an electronic gearbox or D on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off manually switched off manually switched offor by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on triggering of the DSC/ASR systems 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.
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
This information also appears in the head-up display. For more information, refer to the "Head-up display" section.

Programming
Set the programmed speed by accelerating to the required speed, then press button 2or 3 (e.g.: 70 mph (110 km/h)). You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3 : - by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press, - by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press, - in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
Switch off the cruise control by pressing button 4 : the display confirms that it has been switched off (OFF/Pause).
Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4 again.
Turn dial 1 to the "CRUISE" position: the cruise control mode is selected but is not switched on (OFF/Pause).

Exceeding the programmed
speed
Return to normal driving
Operating fault
When the cruise control is switched on, be careful if you maintain the pressure on one of the programmed speed changing buttons: this may result in a very 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 c o r r e c t l y, - never fit one mat on top of another.
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results in flashing of this speed in the screen. Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed.
In the event of a cruise control malfunction,
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.

Gear lever positions
When you move the lever, the symbol corresponding to its position is displayed in the instrument panel. N. Neutral R. Reverse 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Gears in sequential mode AUTO. This comes on when the automatic mode is selected. It goes off on changing to sequential mode. S. Sport (Sport setting)
Place your foot on the brakewhen this warning lamp flashes (e.g.: when starting the engine).
There is an audible signal when reverse gear is engaged.
Moving off
Select position N . Press the brake pedal down fully. Start the engine.
Keep your foot on the brake pedal, move the gear lever to position A or M to go for wards, or R to go backwards. Take your foot off the brake pedal, you can then move off. The parking brake is released automatically, otherwise release it manually.
If the engine does not start: - If N is flashing in the instrument panel, move the lever to position Athen to position N . - If the message " Foot on brake " is displayed, press the brake pedal f i r m l y.

The gearbox is then operating in auto-active mode, without any action on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear in relation to the following parameters: - style of driving, - profile of the road.
AUTO and the gear engaged appear in the instrument panel screen.
Automatic mode "Auto sequential mode"
Following use of the sequential mode, select position A to return to the automatic mode.
For optimum acceleration, for example
when overtaking another vehicle, press the accelerator pedal firmly past the point of resistance.
Sport setting
Following selection of the sequential mode or automatic mode, press button S to activate the Sport setting which offers you a more dynamic style of driving.
S appears next to the gear engaged in the instrument panel screen.
Press button S again to return to normal settings. S is then cleared from the instrument panel screen.
The gearbox returns to normal mode automatically each time the ignition is switched off.
This mode enables you to overtake, for example, remaining in automatic mode while using the functions of the sequential mode. Operate the + or - steering mounted paddle. The gearbox engages the gear requested if the engine speed permits. AUTO is still displayed in the instrument panel. After a few moments without any action on the controls, the gearbox resumes automatic control of the gears.

Six speed automatic gearbox which offers a choice between the comfort of fully automatic operation, enhanced by sport and snow programmes, or manual gear changing. Four driving modes are offered: - automatic operation for electronic management of the gears by the gearbox, - sport programme for a more dynamic style of driving, - snow programme to improve driving when traction is poor, - manual operation for sequential changing of the gears by the driver.

Snow programme " "
Press button " ", after starting the engine. The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery roads. This programme improves starting and drive when traction is poor.
S appears in the instrument panel.
Sport programme "S"
Press button "S" , after starting the engine. The gearbox automatically favours a dynamic style of driving.
Sport and snow programmes
These two special programmes supplement the automatic operation in very specific conditions of use.
Return to automatic
operation
At any time, press the button selected again to quit the programme engaged and return to auto-adaptive mode.
Manual operation
Select position M for sequential changing of the six gears. Push the lever towards the + sign to change up a gear. Pull the lever towards the - sign to change down a gear.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the instrument panel.
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate temporarily in automatic mode.
It is possible to change from position D(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time. When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically. The sport and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then the actual gear engaged is displayed.

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can engage position P or N to place the gearbox in neutral. In both cases, apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction. In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from Pto R and from N to R . This will not cause any damage to the gearbox. Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. This warning lamp may also come on if a door is opened.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (selector between two positions).
You risk damaging the gearbox: - if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time, - if you force the lever from position Pto another position when the battery is flat. To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the engine running (traffic jam...), position the gear lever at N and apply the parking brake, unless it is programmed in automatic mode.
If the lever is not in position P , when the P , when the Pdriver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, there is an audible signal and a message appears. Return the lever to position P ; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.
