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 vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h), as well as
the engaging of:


- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,

- second gear on an automatic gear-
box in sequential mode,

- position D
on an automatic gear-
box.
The cruise control is switched off
man-
ually or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP sys-
tem for safety reasons.
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 stalk A
.

The cruise control cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, replace the need to re-
spect speed limits, nor can it replace
the need for vigilance and responsi-
bility on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet
near the pedals at all times.

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 traffi c.
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 posi-
tioned correctly,

- never fi t one mat on top of an-
other.



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 fl ashing of this speed on the display.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically can-
cels the fl ashing 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

In the event of a cruise control malfunction,
the speed is cleared resulting in fl ashing of
the dashes. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked.

)
Set the programmed speed by ac-
celerating to the required speed,
then press button 2
or 3
(e.g.:
70 mph (110 km/h)).


)
Switch off the cruise control by pressing button 4
: the
display confi rms that it has been switched off (OFF).

)
Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4

again.
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.

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE
PARKING SENSORS
System consisting of four proximity sen-
sors, 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 sensors are 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 lon-
ger be detected when the vehicle
moves nearer to it. When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous and
the "Danger" symbol appears, depend-
ing on the multifunction screen version.
The parking sensors are switched off

by moving the gear lever to neutral.
The parking sensor system can-
not, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance and respon-
sibility on the part of the driver.
The proximity information is indicated
by:


- an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle,

- a diagram on the multifunction
screen * , with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.

Deactivation/Activation of the rear
parking sensors
Operating fault


In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a
speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer-
tain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trig-
ger the audible signals of the park-
ing sensor system.
In the event of a malfunction of
the system, when reverse gear
is engaged this warning lamp
is displayed in the instrument
panel and/or a message appears in the
screen, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
The status of the function is stored
when the ignition is switched off.
For more information on access to
the parking sensors menu, refer to
the section covering the confi gura-
tion of vehicle systems.



The function will be deactivated au-
tomatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle car-
rier recommended by PEUGEOT).
The function is deactivated
or activated via the vehicle
confi guration menu.

CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Take care when working under the bon-
net, as some parts of the engine can be
extremely hot (risk of burns).

Brake fluid level

Oil level

The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the engine oil be-
tween two services. The manufacturer
recommends a check of the oil level, and
top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 km). The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the brake fl uid
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the interval for this
operation.

Changing the engine oil
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the interval for this
operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.
