To switch off the front and rear
foglamps, turn the ring rearwards twice
in succession.
In clear weather or in rain, both day
and night, rear foglamps dazzle and
their use is prohibited.
Do not forget to switch them off when they
are no longer needed.
Automatic illumination of the headlamps
switches off the rear foglamps, but the front
foglamps remain on.
Daytime running lamps
Depending on the country in which the vehicle
is sold, the vehicle may be equipped with
daytime running lamps. The dipped headlamps
come on when the vehicle is started.
The instruments and controls
(instrument panel, screen, air
conditioning control panel, ...) are only
illuminated on switching to the automatic
illumination of headlamps mode or when the
lamps are switched on manually.

Automatic illumination of headlamps Activation
Turn the ring to the AUTO position. The
activation of this function is accompanied by
a message in the screen.
If the sunshine sensor does not function
correctly , the lighting comes on accompanied
by the service warning lamp, an audible signal
and a message in the screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
HEADLAMP BEAM
Depending on the load in your vehicle, the
beam setting must be adjusted.
0 - No load.
1 - Partial load.
2 - Average load.
3 - Maximum authorised load.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the windscreen, behind
the mirror. It is used for the automatic
illumination of headlamps and for the
automatic rain sensitive wipers.
The sidelamps and dipped
beam headlamps switch
on automatically if the light
is poor, or during operation
of the windscreen wipers. They switch off as
soon as the light becomes bright enough or
the windscreen wipers stop.
This function is not compatible with the
daytime running lamps.
Deactivation
Turn the ring forwards or rearwards. The
deactivation of this function is accompanied
by a message in the screen.
The function is deactivated temporarily when
you use the manual lighting control stalk.

In foggy weather or in snow, the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light. As a consequence, the lighting will not
come on automatically. If necessary, you
must switch on the dipped beam headlamps
manually.
Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the road,
the headlamps must be adjusted to avoid
dazzling on-coming drivers.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Special position of the windscreen wipers
In the minute following switching off of the
ignition, any action on the stalk positions the
wipers against the windscreen uprights.
This action enables you to position the
wiper blades for winter parking, cleaning or
replacement.
Refer to the "Changing a windscreen
wiper blade" section of chapter 7.
When using an automatic car wash,
switch off the ignition to avoid
triggering the automatic wiping.
In winter, it is advisable to wait for the
windscreen to completely clear of ice before
operating automatic wipe.
Rear wiper
Turn the ring to the first position.
Rear screenwash
Turn the ring past the first
position: the rear screenwash
then the rear wiper operates for a fixed time.
In winter, in the event of a considerable
amount of snow or ice, switch on the
heated rear screen. Once the screen is
clear, remove the snow or ice which has
accumulated on the rear wiper blade. You
can then operate the rear windscreen wiper.
To park the wipers in their normal position
after this has been done, switch on the
ignition and move the stalk.
Activation
Press the control downwards. Activation of the
function is accompanied by a message in the
screen.
The automatic rain sensitive windscreen wipers
function must be reactivated by pressing the

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,
display of the "Cruise
Control" symbol.
Function deactivated,
OFF .
Function activated .
Vehicle speed above
the programmed speed,
which is displayed
flashing.
Operating fault detected,
OFF - the dashes flash.
This 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
to drive".
This aid to driving 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.
Temporarily exceeding the speed
It is possible to accelerate and drive
momentarily at a speed greater than the
programmed speed. The value programmed
flashes.
When the accelerator pedal is released, the
vehicle will return to the programmed speed.
Reactivation
- Following deactivation of the cruise control, press this button.
Your 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
memorising a speed higher
than 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 of 5 mph (km/h).
- Press the SET - or SET + button.
This programmes/activates the reference
speed and the vehicle will maintain this
speed.

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,
pay attention as the speed can increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near
the pedals.
To avoid any jamming under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its fixings on the floor 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
longer memorises a speed.
Using 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 by three dashes. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
FIXED SPEED LIMITER
If your vehicle is fitted with this function,
the speed of your vehicle can be limited to
a fixed speed of approximately 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
activated or deactivated by the driver while
driving.

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.
Function selected,
displaying of the "Speed
Limiter" symbol.
Function deactivated,

speed - OFF
Function activated .
Vehicle speed above
the programmed speed,
which is displayed
flashing.
Operating fault detected,
OFF - the 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
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.
