on the controls, the gearbox resumes
automatic control of the gears.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
change to position N to be in neutral.
In this case, it is imperative that you
apply the handbrake to immobilise the
vehicle.
Operating fault

warning light comes on and
AUTO flashes, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display,
this indicates a gearbox malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without
delay.
AUTO and  appear on the
instrument panel display.

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 man-
ually: 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 controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk
A.
1. Speed limiter mode selection dial
2. Value decrease button
3. Value increase button
4. Speed limiter on/off button The programmed information is grouped
together on the instrument panel dis-
play.

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

On a steep descent, the speed
limiter will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- do not fit one mat on top of another.
Programming
 Turn dial 1 to the "LIMIT" position:
the speed limiter mode is selected
but is not switched on (OFF).
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 intention-
al or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automati cally
cancels the flashing of the programmed speed.
Return to normal driving
 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the speed limiter mode is
deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.
Operating fault
In the event of a speed limiter malfunction,
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing
of the dashes. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system checked.
You do not have to switch the speed
limiter on in order to set the speed.
 Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4: the
display confirms that it has been switched off (OFF).
 Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.

Set the speed value by pressing button 2 or 3 (e.g.:
70 mph (110 km/h)).
You can then change the programmed speed using butt ons 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.

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 on
manually: it requires a minimum vehi-
cle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the
engaging of fourth gear on the manual
gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually or by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal or on triggering of the ESP
system.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value. The controls of this system are grouped
together on lever

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 pro-
grammed speed.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
Programming
 Turn dial 1 to the "CRUISE" po-
sition: the cruise control mode is
selected but is not switched on
(OFF).
Exceeding the programmed speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed
speed results in flashing of this speed on the display.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional
or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automaticall y
cancels the flashing of the speed.
Return to normal driving
 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is
deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.
Operating fault

REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
System consisting of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, barrier ...) located behind the vehi-
cle, however, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below
the bumper.The parking assistance is
switched on
by engaging reverse gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal.
* According to version.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the start
of the manoeuvre but may no long-
er be detected when the vehicle
moves nearer to it. The proximity information is indicated
by:
- an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction dis- play*, with blocks which move closer
to the vehicle.
When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is less
than approximately thirty centimetres,
the audible signal becomes continu-
ous and the "Danger" symbol appears,
depending on the multifunction display
version.
The parking assistance is switched off
by moving the gear lever to neutral.
The rear parking assistance sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.

verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
