Activation
Deactivation

 Press button 1 to deactivate the sys-
tem, the indicator light switches off.
Reactivation

 Press button 1 again to reactivate
the system.
The last value programmed is retained and the indicator light comes on.
If the indicator light on but-
ton 1 fl ashes, have the sys-
tem checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Operating limits
The system switches to standby auto-
matically if the sensor does not detect
the vehicle in front correctly (very diffi -
cult weather conditions, sensor misad-
justed, ...). A message is displayed on
the multifunction display.
The vehicle being followed may not be
detected in certain conditions such as,
for example:
- when turning,
- when changing lane,
- when the vehicle in front is either too far ahead (maximum range of
the sensor: 100 m) or stationary (in
a traffi c jam, ...).
When the vehicle being followed is ex-
cessively near (time between the two
vehicles less than 0.5 seconds), the dis-
play remains fi xed at 0.5 seconds.
Programming the alert value

 Select the alert value required using
button 2 , in steps of 0.1 second:
- up to increase: "+",
- down to decrease: "-".
Example with a value of 2 seconds:
This system is not an anti-collision
radar and it does not act of the move-
ment of your vehicle. It is informative
and cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance and
responsibility of the driver.

 Press button 1 , the indicator light
comes on.
The system is activated but will only ope-
rate from 45 mph (70 km/h).
The alert value can be programmed to
between 0.9 second and 2.5 seconds.
The visual alert can be deactivated by
programming a value of 0 second. When the time (in seconds) between
your vehicle and the vehicle in front is
less than the programmed time (alert
value), a visual alert fl ashes.
A safety time of 2 seconds is
recommended in normal driv-
ing conditions (correct traction
and speed) to avoid a collision
in the event of emergency
braking.

141
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 controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk A .

The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can
it replace the need for vigilance and re-
sponsibility on the part of the driver.
The speed limiter is
switched on ma-
nually: 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 by releasing the ac-
celerator.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.
This information is also dis-
played on the head up display.
For further details about the head up
display, refer to this "Driving" section.

142
On a steep descent or in the
event of sharp acceleration,
the speed limiter will not be
able to prevent the vehicle from ex-
ceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- do not fi t one mat on top of an- other.
Programming
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 int entional
or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, autom atically can-
cels 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 malfunc-
tion, the speed is cleared resulting in
fl ashing of the dashes.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

 Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4 : the dis-
play confi rms 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.: 55 mph
(90 km/h)).
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.

 Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4 .

 Turn dial 1 to the "LIMIT" position:
the speed limiter mode is selected
but is not switched on (OFF).
You do not have to switch the speed
limiter on in order to set the speed.

143
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) and the en-
gaging:
- of fourth gear on the manual gear- box,
- of second gear on the piloted manual gearbox or automatic gearbox, in se-
quential driving mode,
- of position A on the piloted manual
gearbox or D on the automatic gear-
box. The controls of this system are grouped
together on lever

its, nor can it replace the need for vigi-
lance and responsibility on the part of
the driver.
The cruise control is
switched off
manually or by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal or on triggering of the ESP
system 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. This information is also dis-
played on the head up display.
For further details about the head up
display, refer to this "Driving" section.

144
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 slip-
pery roads or in heavy traffi c.
On a steep descent, the cruise control
will not be able to prevent the vehi-
cle from exceeding the programmed
speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.
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 ca n-
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 rec order.
Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control malfunc-
tion, the speed is cleared resulting in
fl ashing of the dashes.

cession on the instrument
panel display.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the acce-
lerator during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the
gearbox changes down automatically to
permit reacceleration of the vehicle in
the correct gear.
At very low speed, if reverse
gear is requested, this will only
be taken into account when
the vehicle is immobilised. The Foot
on brake warning light may fl ash on
the instrument panel to prompt you
to brake.
At high speed, if reverse gear is re-
quested, the N indicator light will
fl ash and the gearbox will change to
neutral automatically. To engage a
gear again, return the lever to posi-
tion A or M .

148
The gearbox is then operating in auto-
active mode, without any action on the
part of the driver. It continuously selects
the most suitable gear in relation to the
following parameters:
- style of driving,
- profi le of the road.
AUTO and the gear engaged
appear on the instrument pan-
el display.

tion + or - .
The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits.

AUTO is still displayed on the instru-
ment panel.
After a few moments without any action
on the controls, the gearbox resumes
automatic control of the gears.
On sharp acceleration, the
gearbox will not change up un-
less the driver acts on the gear
lever or the steering wheel controls.
Never select neutral N while the vehi-
cle is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when
the vehicle is immobilised with the
brake pedal pressed.
For optimum acceleration, for
example when overtaking an-
other vehicle, press the acce-
lerator pedal fi rmly past the point of
resistance.

149
Stopping the vehicle Operating fault
With the ignition on, if this
warning light comes on and

AUTO fl ashes, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction
display, this indicates a malfunction of
the gearbox.
