Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
th
is system only operates when:
-

t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

c
ertain gradient conditions are met,
-

w
ith the driver’s door closed.
th

e hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a
momentarily when you release the brake
pedal:
-

p
rovided you are in first gear or neutral with
a manual gearbox,
-

p
rovided you are in position D or M with an
automatic gearbox.Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill start assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp and the warning
lamp P in the lever of the electric
parking brake control are on fixed
(not


flashing).
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a Pe ugeOt dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.

Activation / D eactivation
F With the engine running, adjust the
brightness of the information displayed
using buttons 3 :
-

t
he "sun" to increase the brightness,
-

t
he "moon" to decrease the brightness.
Brightness adjustment
We recommend that adjustments are
made using these buttons only when
the vehicle is stationary.
When stationary or while driving, no
objects should be placed around the
blade (or in its recess) so as to not
impede deployment of the blade and its
correct operation.
In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine,
...)
the head-up display may not be legible
or may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading
of the information.
to c

lean the blade, use a clean, soft
cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or
microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or
abrasive cloth or detergent or solvent
products as these could scratch the
blade or damage the non-reflective
coating.
Height adjustment
F With the engine running, adjust the display to the desired height using buttons 4 :
-

Tyre under-inflation detection
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.
th

e tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
th

e system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
th

is system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) 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). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
th

e tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label.
th

e 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).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
For more information on identification
markings, including the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding
section.
Driving

187
the loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of
the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
th
e alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
th

e spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Under-inflation alert
the alert is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it.

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment).
Operating fault
the flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the service warning
lamp indicates a fault with the system.
th

is alert is also displayed when one or more
wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example,
a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
go t

o a P
e
uge
Ot
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.
Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not
detected by your vehicle (fitting snow
tyres for example), you must have the
system reinitialised by a P
e

uge
Ot

dealer or a qualified workshop.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.

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 unless it is pressed firmly,
which allows you to temporarily exceed the
programmed speed.
to r
eturn to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed by releasing the accelerator.
th

e speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20
mph (30 km/h).
th

e speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.
th

e programmed speed remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
th

e speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
observe speed limits, nor can it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.
th

is information also appears in the
head-up display.

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 .
th

e 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.

F Press 5, t he speed limiter is deactivated.
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.

pedal and impede the operation of the
speed limiter.

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.
th
e cruise control is switched on manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the engagement of:
-
4
th gear or higher with a manual gearbox,
-

2nd gear or higher with an automatic
gearbox,
-

position D with an automatic gearbox.
th

e cruise control is switched off manually
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
on triggering of the
e SC system for safety
reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
to r

eturn to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
