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.
en
sure 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 serious
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).
Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode display
flashes, the vehicle switches automatically to
front "2WD" transmission mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A .
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is displayed 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 "S
eR

VIC
e
R
eQuI
R
eD
" is displayed in
the instrument panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay. Have your vehicle towed on a
flatbed.
th

e 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 replacement of a tyre is
necessary on 4-wheel drive versions,
it is recommended that all four tyres be
replaced at the same time, ensuring
that the same make, model and size is
used on all wheels.
th

is is because using tyres of different
sizes, structure or rate of wear could
damage transmission components.

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the vehicle speed at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
th
e cruise control is switched on manually:
the vehicle speed must be at least 25 mph
(40 km/h) and second gear or higher must be
engaged in the case of a manual gearbox.
th

e cruise control is switched off manually, by
an action on the brake or clutch pedal or if the
ASC system is triggered.
th

e programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
th

e cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
need to comply with speed limits or of
the vigilance of the driver.
th

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

When the cruise control is in operation,
pay attention if you press and hold one
of the programmed 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 traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control
will not be able to prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.

Parking sensors
this function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance of the driver.
Rear parking sensors
this system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.
Audible assistance
the proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, whose frequency
increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
Below a certain distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
the

system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear.
t
h

is is accompanied by an audible signal.
th

e indicator lamp in the button comes on to
confirm that the system is active.
th

e system is deactivated when you come out
of reverse gear.

Deactivation / Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
the function is deactivated by pressing this
button. th e indicator lamp in the button goes off.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function.
t
h
e indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
Operating fault
the front parking sensors are triggered when
an obstacle is detected in front, a gear is
engaged (position D for vehicles with a CV
t


gearbox) and the speed of the vehicle remains
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
th

e front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than five seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h). Remember to deactivate the system if
towing a trailer or caravan.In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sound
sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, etc.) may trigger the audible
signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event of an problem, when reverse gear
is engaged this lamp in the button flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal.
th

is supplements the audible
signal by displaying bars in the
screen, in front of or behind the
vehicle. If one of the sensors is faulty, it
flashes in the instrument panel
screen.

e
uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
th
ese bars flash at the start of the manoeuvre
then become fixed from a certain distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle.

Reversing camera
Linked with the navigation option, the reversing
camera complements the parking sensor
system and is activated automatically when
reverse gear is engaged.the image from the camera is displayed in the
navigation screen.
th

e zone (A)

represents the upper part of the
rear bumper.
th

e red line represents the distance of 50 cm
from the edge of the rear bumper.
th

e green lines represent the width of the
vehicle increased by 20 cm on each side.
th

e marks on the green lines correspond to the
edges of the rear bumper (B), then the distance
of 1 metre from the edge of the rear bumper (C)
and 2 metres (D) . In no circumstances can the reversing
camera replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
Clean the reversing camera from time
to time using a soft dry cloth.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not
direct the lance to within 30 cm of the
camera lens.

Lighting controls
Stalk for selecting and switching the vehicle's
front and rear exterior lamps.Main lighting
the various front and rear lamps of the vehicle
are designed to adapt the lighting progressively
in relation to the climatic conditions and so
ensure the best visibility for the driver:
-
s
idelamps, to be seen,
-

d
ipped beam headlamps to see without
dazzling other drivers,
-

m
ain beam headlamps to see clearly when
the road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are provided to fulfil the
requirements of particular driving conditions:
-

a r
ear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
-

f
ront foglamps for even better visibility,
-

d
aytime running lamps to be seen during
t h e d ay.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes. Other lighting functions are also available:
-

a

utomatic illumination of
headlamps,
-
gu

ide-me-home lighting,
-

w

elcome lighting.
Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country that
drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamps must be adjusted to avoid
dazzling on-coming drivers.
