HANDBRAKE
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indi-
cated by an audible signal, accom -
panied by the message "Automatic
gear fault" on the multi-function
display, by a "-" and lashing of the
Sport and Snow warning lights on the
instrument panel display.
In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substan-
tial knock when changing from P to
R and from N to R (this will not cause
any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h),
respecting local speed limits.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
If the battery is lat and the
lever is in position P, it will
be impossible to change
to another position.
In particular, do not force the lever
or there is a risk the gearbox may
be damaged. When the vehicle is be-
ing driven, illumination of
this warning light and of the
STOP
warning light, accom -
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display, indicates that the handbrake
is still on or has not been properly re-
leased.
When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels to im -
mobilise them against the
pavement, pull the hand -
brake and engage a gear.
Applying
Pull the handbrake to immobilise
your vehicle.
Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the button
to release the handbrake.

Exceeding the programmed
speed
Pressing the accelerator in order to
exceed the programmed speed will
have no effect unless you press the
pedal irmly beyond the point of re-
sistance .
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed, which is
still displayed, lashes (e.g. at 70 mph
(110 km/h)):
Note: the speed also lashes when
the limiter cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed
speed (on a steep descent, in the
event of sharp acceleration).
To reactivate the limiter, release the
accelerator to slow down to a speed
below the programmed speed. Switching the function off
F
Place dial 1 in position 0
or switch off the ignition to
switch the system off. The last
programmed speed remains in
the memory.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
Operating fault
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the programmed speed is cleared
and the indication below appears:
In the event of a steep descent
or sharp acceleration, the speed
limiter will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
In any event, the speed limiter can
-
not replace the need to observe
speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
-
ensure that the mat and its
ixings are positioned correctly.
- never it one mat on top of another.
You are advised to keep your feet
near the pedals.

Reactivating the cruise control
After cancellation of the cruise con-
trol, press button 4. Your vehicle will
return to the last memorised speed.
The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph
(110 km/h)):
It is also possible to reactivate the
cruise control by pressing button 2 or
3 . The memorised speed will then be
the speed at which the vehicle was
travelling when the cruise control
was reactivated.
Changing the memorised
reference speed
To memorise a speed higher than the
previous one, there are two options:
Without using the accelerator:
F press button 3;
A brief press increases by 1 mph
(1 km/h).
An extended press increases by 5 mph
(5 km/h).
A maintained press increases in
steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Using the accelerator:
F exceed the memorised speed
until the required speed is
reached,
F press button 2 or 3. To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
F
press button 2;
A brief press decreases by 1 mph (1 km/h).
An extended press decreases by 5 mph
(5 km/h).
A maintained press decreases in
steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Cancelling the memorised
reference speed
F When the vehicle becomes
stationary, after switching off the
ignition, the system no longer
memorises a speed.
Switching the function off
F Place dial 1 in position 0 to
switch the system off. Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control mal-
function, the memorised speed is
erased, the dashes lash for a few
seconds:
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
When changing the memo-
rised reference speed by
means of a maintained press,
pay attention as the speed
can increase or decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slip-
pery roads or in heavy trafic.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its ixings are positioned
correctly.
- never it one mat on top of another.
You are advised to keep your feet
near the pedals.

SAFETY

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)Disarming the ASR/ESP systems
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
F Press the "ESP OFF" switch,
located under the steering wheel
to the right. Operating check
The ASR/ESP systems
offer exceptional safety
in normal driving, but this
should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking compo -
nents, the electronic components
and the PEUGEOT assembly and
operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on, ac
-
companied by a message
on the multifunction display:
the ASR and ESP systems are dis-
armed.
These are triggered again :
F automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
F manually by pressing the switch
again. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
light lashes and the warning
light comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.
The warning light lashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated.
Activation of the ASR and ESP
systems
When the ignition is on, the ASR and
ESP systems are always active.
These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act
-
ing on the brakes of the drive wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra -
jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the en-
gine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course, within the limits of
the laws of physics.
