Operating fault
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.
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:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
Return to normal driving
Exceeding the programmed
speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the
programmed speed results in flashing of this
speed in the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of
intentional or unintentional deceleration of the
vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of
the speed.
In the event of a cruise control malfunction,
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the
dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. F
