Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from
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 the
programmed speed.
to r
eturn to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed by releasing the accelerator.
th

e speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20
mph (30 km/h).
th

e speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.
th

e programmed speed remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
the speed limiter 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.

Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have
any effect unless you press the pedal firmly past the point of resistance.
th

e 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.

have a
third fixing in the area of the pedals to
avoid any risk of inter ference with the

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.
th
e cruise control is switched on manually: it
requires:
-

a m
inimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40


km/h),
-
t

he engagement of 2nd gear or higher,
-
position A.
Cruise control is switched off manually or by
pressing the brake pedal or on triggering of the
e

SC system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.

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 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.

this system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located 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. t
h
is is accompanied by an audible signal.
th

e system is switched off when you come out
of 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.
th

e sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty 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 displayed in the screen.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.In the event of a malfunction
of the system, when reverse
gear 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).

dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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).
th

e front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front parking sensors
the function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by P
e

uge
Ot)
.
Deactivation / Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
the function is deactivated by pressing this
button. th e indicator lamp in the button

Reversing camera
the reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
Depending on version, the image is displayed
in the touch screen or the instrument panel.
th
e reversing camera cannot in any
circumstances be a substitute for the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
th

e reversing camera function completes the
parking assistance.the superimposed representation of guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre.
th

ey are represented by lines marked "on
the ground" and do not allow the position of
the vehicle to be determined relative to tall
obstacles (for example: other vehicles, ...).
th

e blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the difference corresponds to
the width of your vehicle without the mirrors).
th

e red lines represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
th

e green lines represent distances of about 1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.
the

turquoise blue curves represent the
maximum turning circle. Opening the boot causes the display to
disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not direct the
lance within 30 cm of the camera lens.
