TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each of these tyres.
The system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in one or\

more tyres.This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures
regularly and before a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear

,
particularly under arduous conditions (vehicle loaded, high speed,
long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while
driving.
The system continuously monitors the pressures of the four tyres, as
soon as the vehicle is moving.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label (see the "Identification markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres cold (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after driving for less then 6 miles (10 km) at
moderate speed). Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values indicated
on the label.
Spare wheel
Don't forget to also check the tyre pressure of the spare wheel.
The alloy spare wheel also has a sensor.
The steel spare wheel does not have a sensor.
The

tyre

under-inflation

detection

system

is

an

aid

to

driving

which

does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver

.

In the event of a problem on one of the tyres, a symbol or a message is \
displayed, depending on equipment, to identify it.
F

Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake
applications.
F


Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
F


In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or
the

spare wheel (according to equipment),


or
F

if you have a compressor
, the one in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre pressures when cold,


or
F

if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed.
UNdER-INFLATION ALERT
The alert is given by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a
message.
The loss of pressure detected does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check. With the ignition on, the pressure must be increased by at least
0.2

bar. If necessary, adjust the pressures to the values given on
the tyre pressure label. The
flashing and then fixed illumination of this warning
lamp accompanied by the illumination of the service
warning lamp indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.
This

alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not fitted
with a sensor (steel spare wheel).
Go

to a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked or

, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original
wheel,
equipped with a sensor, refitted.
OPERATING FAULT
The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired or replaced.

SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator
pedal no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on


manually: it requires a programmed
speed of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded temporarily by pressing the
accelerator

firmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below
the programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to resp\
ect
speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance on the part of t\
he driver.

(OFF / Pause).
You do not have to switch the speed limiter on in order
to set the speed.
F

Set the speed value by pressing button 2

or 3
(e.g.: 55 mph (90 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 the speed limiter on by pressing button 4

.
F

Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4 : the display
confirms that it has been switched off (OFF / Pause).
F Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing
button 4 again.

EXCEEdING THE PROGRAMMEd SPEEd
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.
EXITING THE SPEE d LIMITER MO d E
F Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the speed limiter mode is deselected.
It disappears from the display.
OPERATING F AULT
In the event of a speed limiter malfunction, 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:
-

ensure that the mat is positioned correctly
,
- do
not fit one mat on top of another.

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.

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.
EXITING CRUISE CONTROL MO d E
F Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is
deselected. It disappears from the display.
OPERATING F AULT
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.
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:
-

ensure that the mat is positioned correctly
,
- never
fit one mat on top of another.
