DRIVING SAFELY
1. Limiter mode Selection / Off.
2. Decrease the programmed value.
3. Increase the programmed value.
4. Speed limiter On / Off.
The values must be set with the engine running.
SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"
1. Cruise control mode Selection / Off.
2. Programme a speed / Decrease the programmed value.
3. Programme a speed / Increase the programmed value.
4. Cruise control Off / Resume.
CRUISE CONTROL "CRUISE"
In order to be programmed or activated, the
vehicle speed must be higher than 25 mph
(40 km/h), with at least fourth gear engaged
on the manual gearbox (second gear for the
automatic gearbox).

OPTIMISE THE USE OF YOUR GEARBOX
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without
waiting. During acceleration change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as
soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
straight away.
For vehicles fi tted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this
indicator appears only in manual mode.
DRIVE SMOOTHLY
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather
than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These
practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions and also helps reduce the background traffi c noise.
CONTROL THE USE OF YOUR ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it
by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents
open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature
in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, as soon
as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light
does not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices
(fi lm, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to \
optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is fl owing well.

MATS
Removable carpet protection.
FITTING
When fi tting the mat for the fi rst time, on the driver's side use only the
fi xings provided in the wallet attached.
The other mats are simply placed on the carpet.
REMOVAL
To remove the mat on the driver's side:
move the seat as far back as possible,
unclip the fi xings,
remove the mat.
REFITTING
To refi t the mat on the driver's side:
position the mat correctly,
refi t the fi xings by pressing,
check that the mat is secured correctly. To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
- only use mats which are suited to the fi xings already present in the vehicle; these fi xings must be used,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.
The use of mats not approved by PEUGEOT may interfere
with access to the pedals and hinder the operation of the cruise
control / speed limiter.

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.
