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

This speed limiter shows the function
selection status in the instrument panel and
displays the programmed speed:
The operating actions may be carried out
when stationary, with the engine running,
or with the vehicle moving.
"This is the selected speed which the driver
does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the engine
running while stationary or with the vehicle
moving. The minimum speed which can be
programmed is 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed 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.

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.
Programming a speed
A speed can be programmed without
activating the limiter but with the engine
running.
To memorise a speed higher than the
previous one:
- press the Set + button.
A brief press increases the speed by
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 brief 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).

WITH MANUAL SETTINGS
If your vehicle is fitted with these controls,
they are located on the control panel of the
dashboard centre console.
Air distribution
Air distribution is directed by turning the
control towards:
the side vents and the central
vents,
the side vents, the central vents
and the footwells,
the footwells,
the windscreen and the footwells,
Air flow
The air conditioning does not operate if the
air flow is set to 0.
the windscreen.
Air conditioning A/C
If fitted on your vehicle, the air conditioning
can only operate with the engine running.
Pressing the button triggers the
operation of the air conditioning,
the LED is on. Pressing the
button again switches the function
off and the LED goes off.
Temperature adjustment
Control positioned:
- in the red zone, produces heating of the interior air.
- in the blue zone, produces
cool air,
The air distribution can be
modulated by placing the control
in the intermediate positions,
marked "●".
The fan speed varies from 1 to
the fastest 4. Position 0 switches
it off.
Remember to adjust this control
in order to attain the desired
comfort level.

Driver or passenger side comfort value
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
Automatic operation Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the windscreen behind the
mirror, it is used for regulation of the air
conditioning.
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning system
operating mode.
Press this button, the AUTO symbol is displayed.
Depending on the comfort value selected, the system controls the distribution, the fl ow and the intake of air to guarantee comfort and a suffi cient circulation of air in the passenger compartment. No further action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent an
excessive 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 are reinstated
the next time the vehicle is started, if the
temperature in the passenger compartment
has not changed signifi cantly; otherwise,
operation resumes in automatic mode.
Turn this control to the left or to
the right to decrease or increase
the value. A setting around the
value 21 provides optimum
comfort.However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24
is usual.

Demisting the rear screen and/or mirrors
Pressing this button, with the engine
running, activates the rapid demisting -
defrosting of the rear screen and/or electric
mirrors.
This function switches off:
- when the button is pressed,
- when the engine is switched off,
- automatically to prevent excessive energy consumption. Automatic air conditioning: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may not
be sufficient to quickly demist or defrost the
windows (humidity, several passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility programme.
The visibility programme indicator lamp
comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
flow, the defrosting of the rear screen
and provides optimum distribution of the
ventilation to the windscreen and side
windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation.

Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,
even for short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which is not
fitted with an exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire.
The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The heater is supplied by the vehicle's fuel
tank. Ensure that the low fuel warning lamp
is not on.
ADDITIONAL HEATING
Coolant circuit heater
This is an additional and separate system
which heats the Diesel engine cooling
system to make starting easier.
It improves the demisting and defrosting
performance.
Vehicles fitted with an HDi engine may be
fitted with a heater. When the engine is at
idle or the vehicle is stationary, it is normal
to notice a high-pitched whistling noise and
a slight emission of smoke and odour.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR) AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)
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. If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC system automatically
acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
Deactivation
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 DSC systems to
make the wheels spin and regain grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC 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 DSC to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes when
operation of the ASR or DSC 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 and the LED come 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.
- Press the button, located on the centre console.
- The LED comes on: the ASR and DSC systems no longer
operate.

"GRIP CONTROL"
Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to drive
on tarmac roads but it allows you to drive on
other less passable terrain occasionally.
However, particularly when your vehicle is
heavily laden, it does not permit off-road
activities such as:
- crossing and driving on ground which could damage the underbody or tear off
components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, ...),
particularly by obstacles or stones,
- driving on ground with steep gradients and poor grip,
- crossing a stream.
On snow, mud and sand, this traction
system, associated with the Michelin
® Agilis
51 M+S all terrain tyres, provides a
compromise between safety, adhesion and
traction.
It allows progress to be made in most
conditions of low adhesion. The accelerator pedal must
be pressed sufficiently
so that the engine power
can be used to effectively
manage the various
parameters.
