Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.If you are obliged to drive through water:Important!
Driving on flooded
roads
- check that the depth of water does not exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-

d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10


km/h),
-

d
o not stop and do not switch off the
engine.
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass,
dead leaves...) might come into contact
with the hot exhaust system - Risk of
fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with the engine running. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brake
and put the gearbox into neutral or
position


N or P, depending on the type
of gearbox.

F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "LIMIT"
position: the speed limiter mode is
selected but is not switched
on (PAUS E).
You do not have to switch the speed limiter
on in order to set the speed.
Programming
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have
any effect unless you press the pedal firmly past the point of resistance.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed,
which is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the
programmed speed.
Leaving limiter mode
F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "0" position:
the speed limiter mode is deselected. The
display returns to the distance recorder.
Operating fault
F Set the speed value by pressing button 2 or 3 .
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3 :
-

b
y + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
-

b
y + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
-

i
n steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
Exceeding the programmed speed
F Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4 again.
F

S
witch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4
.
F
S
witch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4
: the display
confirms that it has been switched off (PAUSE). In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed
is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter
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,
-

d
o not fit one mat on top of another.

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. 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
