DRIVING
FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEMFOUR WH
WITH ELECTRONIC CONTROL WITH E

4WD AUTO (position 1)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive and provides optimum traction re-
gardless of the level of grip.
This is the vehicle's normal and regular
operating mode, the distribution of the
torque between the front and rear axles
is controlled automatically.
The distribution favours the front wheels,
the transfer of torque to the rear wheels
is managed electronically by the control
unit in relation to the level of grip, so
providing optimum road holding.
Three transmission modes are avail-
able and can be selected manually by
the driver in accordance with his re-
quirements.
You can change transmission mode
when stationary or while driving at a
speed below 60 mph (100 km/h)
.
The transmission mode can be selected
by turning the control A
.


Display in the instrument panel

The transmission mode is displayed
in the form of an intermittent display in
the instrument panel screen when the
transmission mode is selected.

Selecting the transmission
mode
The selection of this mode is
recommended when the level of
grip permits.

2WD (position 3)
The vehicle operates with front two
wheel drive.
This mode corresponds to use on a tar-
macked road on which the driver con-
siders that there is no risk of loss of grip
(dry road).

4WD LOCK (position 2)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive in this mode also.
It is recommended when grip is particularly
poor or diffi cult (sand, mud, slopes, ...). System which permits the selection of
a transmission mode in relation to the
driving conditions.

DRIVING

Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode display
fl ashes, the vehicle switches automati-
cally to front "2WD"
transmission mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A
. Do not subject the vehicle to ex-
cessive conditions while driving.
As the engine torque is applied
to all four wheels, the condition
of the tyres has a considerable
impact on the performance of
the vehicle.
Ensure that all four tyres are in
good condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in
sandy or muddy areas or in
other areas in which the wheels
could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the
transmission components under
pressure and could cause a seri-
ous malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through
deep water.
Avoid driving over excessively
uneven terrain (risk of scraping
under the body or of grounding
on crossing a bridge).
Have your vehicle towed on a
fl atbed.

The vehicle must not be towed
with the front or rear wheels on
the ground even if it is in front
"2WD" (2 wheel drive) mode.


If the message "SLOW DOWN" is dis-
played on the instrument panel, let the
transmission cool down then wait for the
display to clear before setting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed
alternately and if "MAINTENANCE
REQUIRED" is displayed in the instru-
ment panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop without delay.

Programming



)
Press button 1

)
Set the programmed speed by ac-
celerating to the required speed,
then press button 2 "COAST SET"
.

CRUISE CONTROL CRUISE C

The controls of this system are grouped
together on the steering wheel.


1.
"ON/OFF"
button: activation/deacti-
vation of the cruise control mode.

2.
"COAST SET"
button: storing of a
driving speed and decreasing of the
cruising speed.

3.
"ACC RES"
button: increasing of
the cruising speed and recalling of
the stored speed.

4.
"CANCEL"
button: switching off of
the cruise control.
When you press button 1
, the "CRUISE"

indicator comes on in the instrument
panel.


Steering mounted controls
Display on the instrument panel

The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of
the need to comply with speed
limits or of the vigilance and re-
sponsibility of the driver.
System which automatically maintains the
vehicle speed at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.

The cruise control is switched on

manually: the vehicle speed must be
25 mph (40 km/h) minimum and sec-
ond gear must be engaged in the case
of a manual gearbox.

The cruise control is switched off
man-
ually, by an action on the brake or clutch
pedal or if the ASC system is triggered.

The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator
pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.

Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

DRIVING
When the cruise control is in
operation, pay attention if you
press and hold one of the pro-
grammed speed adjustment
buttons: this can 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 pre-
vent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
To prevent the mat from becom-
ing caught under the pedals:


- ensure that the mat is posi-
tioned correctly,

- never fi t one mat on top of
another.



Deactivating the function

To deactivate the cruise control:

)
Press button 4 "CANCEL"
.

The cruise control may be deactivated
automatically:


)
When the vehicle reaches a speed
below 20 mph (35 km/h).

)
When the active stability control sys-
tem (ASC) comes into operation.



Reactivating the function

When the cruise control has been de-
activated, you can return to the stored
speed by pressing button 3 "ACC RES"

when you reach a minimum speed of
25 mph (40 km/h).

Decreasing the programmed
speed


)
Using button 2 "COAST SET"
:


- successive presses decrease the

AUDIBLE REAR PARKINGAUDIBLE
SENSORS NSO
It detects obstacles (person, vehicle,
tree, gate,...) located behind the vehicle,
but it cannot detect obstacles located
immediately below the bumper.
Activation
The parking sensors are activated by
engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by
an audible signal which becomes more
frequent as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When a certain distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is
reached, the audible signal becomes
continuous:
An object such as a stake, a
road works cone or any other
similar object may be detected
at the beginning of the manoeu-
vre but may no longer be de-
tected when the vehicle moves
closer to it.
Location of the sensors
The vehicle is fi tted with four sensors:


- two side sensors A


- two central sensors B
.
Vehicle only

Vehicle fi tted with a towbar
Detection zones
The detection zones differ depending
on whether the vehicle is fi tted with a
towbar.
If you select towbar mode, the towbar
zone C
is excluded from the detection
zones.
The parking sensor system can-
not, in any circumstances, take
the place of the need for vigi-
lance and responsibility on the
part of the driver.

REVERSING CAMERA REVERSING CAM

Linked with the navigation option, a re-
versing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The colour image is provided on the
navigation screen with indication of the
limit of the rear bumper and of the gen-
eral direction of the vehicle.
Operating fault
If an operating fault occurs, the indicator
lamp in button A
fl ashes when reverse
gear is engaged.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
In bad weather or in winter, check
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow.

Deactivation


)
With reverse gear engaged, press
button A
, the indicator lamp goes
off, the system is fully deactivated.


Reactivation


)
With reverse gear engaged, press
button A
again, the indicator lamp
comes on, the system is reactivated.

Modifi cation of the detection zones


)
Press button A
to deactivate the
system.

)
Press button A
again for a few seconds
and release it.
The detection zone modifi cation infor-
mation is indicated by an audible signal:


- double
signal on vehicles fi tted with
a towbar,

- single
signal on vehicles which are
not fi tted with a towbar.

The red line indicates the dis-
tance required to open the lower
tailgate.

To close
Lower the bonnet and release it at the
end of its travel. Check that the bonnet
is properly latched.


From outside:
move the safety catch
to the left then raise the bonnet. Secure the stay in its housing to hold
the bonnet open.
Before closing the bonnet, refi t the stay
in its clip.
This operation must only be carried out
when the vehicle is stationary.
When the engine is hot, handle the ex-
terior safety catch and the bonnet stay
with care (risk of burns).
