DRIVING
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.
The cruise control is switched off manually or by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal or on triggering of the trajectory control system for safet\
y
reasons.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
STEERING MOUNTED CONTROL
The functions of this system are grouped together on the steering
mounted control.
1. Cruise control mode selection dial.
2. Speed programming / value decrease button.
3. Speed programming / value increase button.
4. Cruise control off / resume button.
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times.
The cruise control is
switched on manually: it requires a minimum
vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engaging:
- of fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
- of second gear on the automatic gearbox, in sequential driving mode,
- of position D on the automatic gearbox.
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.

DISPLAYS IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
The programmed information is grouped together in the instrument
panel screen.
5. Cruise control off / resume indication.
6. Cruise control mode selection indication.
7. Programmed speed value.
PROGRAMMING
 Turn dial 1 to the "CRUISE" position: the cruise
control mode is selected but is not switched on
(OFF / Pause).
 Set the programmed speed by accelerating to the required speed, then press button 2 or 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 confi rms that it has been
switched off (OFF / Pause).
 Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4 again.

6/
DRIVING
EXCEEDING THE PROGRAMMED SPEED
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the
programmed speed results in fl ashing of this speed in
the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of
intentional or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically \
cancels the fl ashing of the speed.
EXITING CRUISE CONTROL MODE
 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is
deselected. It disappears from the display.
OPERATING FAULT
In the event of a cruise control malfunction, the speed is cleared
resulting in fl ashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
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 traffi c.
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 correctly,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.

This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver. 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 system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree,
gate, etc.) which comes within the fi eld of detection of sensors located
in the bumper.
REAR PARKING SENSORS
The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear. This is
accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, th\
e
frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The 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.

DRIVING
Deactivation / Activation of the front and rear parking sensors
Visual assistance

FRONT PARKING SENSORS
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).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more \
than three seconds in forward gear, if no further obstacles are detected
or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
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. The function is deactivated by pressing this button. The indicator lamp
in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the function. The indicator lamp in
the button goes off. The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the\

obstacle is in front or behind.

148
Deactivation / Activation of the rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated or activated via the vehicle confi guration
menu.
The status of the function is stored when the ignition is switched off.
OPERATING FAULT
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).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
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.
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being
towed or a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle fi tted with a towbar or
bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).

incorporated in PEUGEOT vehicles.
This ensures that you obtain the best performance
and the maximum engine life.
Reduced exhaust emissions
TOTAL lubricants are formulated to optimise the
effi ciency of engines and the protection of the
emissions post-treatment systems. It is crucial to
observe the servicing recommendations made by
PEUGEOT to ensure correct operation.

FUEL TANK
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 55 litres.
LOW FUEL LEVEL
FILLING
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached this warning
lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and an alert message. When it fi rst comes on
there remains approximately 5 litres of fuel in the tank.
Until suffi cient fuel is added, this warning lamp appears every time
the ignition is switched on, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message. When driving, this audible signal and display of the alert
message are repeated with increasing frequency as the fuel level drops
towards "0" .
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the "Running out of fue\
l
(Diesel)" section.
A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap reminds you of the type of fuel to
be used depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in order to be registere\
d by
the fuel gauge. To fi ll the tank in complete safety:
 the engine must be switched off,

 press the rear part of the fl ap, then raise it to open it,
 turn the cap to the left,
 remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the fl ap,
 fi ll the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
pump ; this could cause malfunctions.
Opening the fi ller cap may create a noise a caused by an inrush
of air. This vacuum is entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of
the fuel system.
