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" posi-
tion: the cruise control mode is se-
lected 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, automatically ca n-
cels 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
In the event of a cruise control mal-
function, the speed is cleared result-
ing in flashing of the dashes. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer 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 confirms 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 REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE
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 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 parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, re-
place the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.

CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding circuit checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Brake fluid levelTo avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the 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 15 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.
Between two oil changes, the consump-
tion should not exceed 0.5 litre per
600 miles (1,000 km). The brake fluid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a par-
ticle emission filter, the fan may oper-
ate after the vehicle has been switched
off, even if the engine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
Wash-wipe and headlamp wash*

Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fluid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
