Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P
or N
to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle.

Operating fault

There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the movement of
the gear lever from the P
posi-
tion to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption when
at a prolonged standstill with the
engine running (traffi c jam...), put
the gear lever in the N
position and
apply the parking brake.


Manual operation



)
Select position M
for sequential

changing of the four gears.

)
Push the lever towards the +
sign to
change up a gear.

)
Pull the lever towards the -
sign to
change down a gear.

D
disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low
or too high, the gear selected
fl ashes for a few seconds, then the ac-
tual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D

(automatic) to position M
(manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode. If the lever is not in position P
,
when the driver's door is opened
or approximately 45 seconds after
the ignition is switched off, a mes-
sage appears in the multifunction
screen.


)
Return the lever to position P
;
the message disappears.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates a gear-
box fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear.
You may feel a substantial 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), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop as soon as possible.

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 ex-
ceeded temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator fi rmly.
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
.

DRIVING
111
On a steep descent, the speed lim-
iter will not be able to prevent the
vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:


- ensure that the mat is posi-
tioned correctly,

- do not fi t one mat on top of an-
other.



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
fi rmly
past the point of resistance
.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the pro-
grammed speed, which is still displayed, fl ashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intention-
al or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically
cancels the fl ashing 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 fl ashing of
the dashes. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked.
You do not have to switch the speed
limiter on in order to set the speed.

)
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 but-
tons 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
.

)
Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4
: the dis-
play confi rms that it has been switched off (OFF).

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 gearbox
in sequential mode,

- position D
on an automatic gearbox.
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

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 pro-
grammed 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.

)
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.

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 vehi-
cle and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and the "Danger" symbol appears,
depending on the multifunction screen version.
The parking sensor system cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver. The parking sensors are switched off

by moving the gear lever to neutral.
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 dis-
played in the instrument panel and/
or a message appears in the screen, accom-
panied by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi 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.
