Note: the speed memorised
is cancelled automatically if
the vehicle speed is less than
25 mph (40 km/h), or if the
manual gearbox is in a gear lower than
fourth (second gear for the automatic
gearbox) or if the ESP is activated. Operating check
In the event of a cruise control malfunc-
tion, the memorised speed is erased,
the dashes fl ash for a few seconds:
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
Do not use the cruise control
on slippery roads or in heavy
traffi c.
Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than the
previous one, there are two options:
Without using the accelerator:

 press button 3 .
Using the accelerator:

 exceed the memorised speed until
the required speed is reached,

 press button 2 or 3 .
Recalling the memorised speed
After cancellation, press button 4 . Your
vehicle will return to the last memo-
rised speed. The display indicates
(e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
Cancelling the memorised speed

 Place switch 1 in position 0 or

LIMIT or switch off the ignition.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:

 press button 2 .
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER
Selecting the function

 Place switch 1 in the LIMIT posi-
tion. The limiter is not yet active.
By default the screen indicates:
Switching the function off

 Place switch 1 in position 0 or

CRUISE or switch off the ignition
to switch the system off. The last
speed programmed remains in the
memory.
Memorising a speed
A speed can be memorised without
activation of the limiter.
Pressing buttons 2 and 3 decreases or
increases the speed.
Short press: +/- 1 mph (1 km/h)
Long press: +/- 5 mph (5 km/h)
Maintained press: continuous increase
or decrease of the value in steps of
5 mph (5 km/h). Activation/deactivation of the
limiter
Pressing button
4 activates the limiter,
pressing this button again deactivates it.
When the limiter is active, the screen
indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):

The operations must be
carried out with the engine
running.
On a steep descent or if the driver
accelerates sharply, the speed
limiter, which does not act on the
brakes, is not able to prevent the
vehicle from exceeding the programmed
speed.
In no circumstances does the speed limiter
replace the requirement to respect speed
limits, nor does it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part of the
driver.
The driver must remain vigilant and stay in
complete control of his vehicle.
Speed limiter function
This prevents the vehicle speed ex-
ceeding the speed programmed by
the driver (minimum speed of 18 mph
(30 km/h)).

Exceeding the programmed speed
Additional pressing of the accelera-
tor to exceed the programmed speed
will have no effect unless the pedal is
pressed fi rmly (passing the point of
resistance ).
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and displays the programmed speed
(e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
To prevent the mat from becom-
ing caught under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is posi-tioned correctly,
Operating check
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the memorised speed is erased, the
dashes fl ash for a few seconds:

Note: the speed also fl ashes
when the speed limiter can-
not prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed
speed (on a steep descent or in the
event of sharp acceleration).
To re-activate the limiter, release the
accelerator to slow down to a speed
below the programmed speed. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
- never fi t one mat on top of another.

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT AND/OR REAR PARKING SENSORS
This system consists of proximity sen-
sors:
- six in the front bumper,
and/or
- four in the rear bumper.
It detects obstacles (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, etc.) in front of or behind
the vehicle. However, it cannot detect
obstacles located directly under the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, cone or any
other similar object may be detected
at the beginning of the manoeuvre but
may no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it. The proximity of the obstacle is indi-
cated by:
- an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle ap-
proaches the obstacle,
- a graphic in the multifunction screen, with blocks which become
increasingly close to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; that is, front or rear and
right or left.
When the distance between the ve-
hicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous
and/or the "Danger" symbol appears
in the multifunction screen.
The system becomes inactive again:
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h),
- at the end of the manoeuvre, when stationary, after a few seconds
(front parking sensors only).
Detection zone
To ensure optimum operation,
in bad weather or in winter,
ensure that the sensors are
not covered with mud, frost or
snow. The system is deactivated if
the vehicle is stationary for
more than 3 seconds.
Detection
The system is activated when:
- reverse gear is engaged,
- the speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h)
in forward gear.
It is accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and/or display of the vehicle in the
multifunction screen.

Deactivation
Press button A to deactivate the sys-
tem (child asleep in the rear…). The
indicator lamp in the button comes on.

Note: this function will be de-
activated automatically when
a trailer is being towed (vehi-
cle fi tted with a towbar recom-
mended by PEUGEOT).
Reactivation
Press button A again to reactivate the
system. The indicator lamp in the but-
ton goes off.
If there is an operating fault,
when reverse gear is engaged,
the indicator lamp fl ashes, ac-
companied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the multifunction
screen.

103
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressures
while driving and trigger a warning in
the event of problem.
Pressure Check With the ignition on and the
vehicle having been sta-
tionary for approximately
15 minutes, and after the
engine oil level, this indicator
lamp comes on in the instrument pan-
el screen to indicate that the system is
measuring the tyre pressures.
Pressure OK
This indicator lamp comes
on in the instrument panel
screen if all of the tyre pres-
sure values measured are
correct.
If this indicator lamp does not appear,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. Puncture
This warning lamp, accom-
panied by the audible sig-
nal and the message in the
multifunction screen identify-
ing the wheel concerned, is
followed by illumination of the STOP
warning lamp.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,
avoiding any sudden movement of the
steering wheel and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very defl ated tyre), and have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.

Note: this message is also
displayed when one of the
wheels is away from the ve-
hicle (being repaired) or when
one or more wheels without a sensor
are fi tted. All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel fi tted with this
system must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle, you must have the system re-
initialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem is an aid to driving which does not
replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not avoid the need
to have the tyre pressures checked
regularly (see manufacturer’s label) to
ensure that the optimum dynamic per-
formance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driving
conditions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remember
to check the pressure of the spare
wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem may experience temporary interfer-
ence due to electromagnetic emissions
on a frequency close to that used by the
system.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp is accom-
panied by the audible signal
and the message in the mul-
tifunction screen identifying
the wheel concerned.
If this warning lamp comes on, have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible. Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning lamp is accom-
panied by the audible sig-
nal and the message in the
multifunction screen which
indicates that under-infl ation
detection is absent from one (or sev-
eral) wheel(s) or that there is a fault in
the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).

To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Cooling system CHECKING THE LEVELS
These are normal maintenance opera-tions which keep your vehicle in good
working order. Ask for advice from
a PEUGEOT dealer, or refer to the
Service Box website or the servicing
booklet supplied with the vehicle.

Important: if you have to remove/refi t
the engine style cover, handle it with
care to avoid damaging the fi xing clips.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never fi ll past this mark.

B = minimum
Oil level

 Check the level regularly and top
up between oil changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
the engine having been off for more
than 15 minutes, using the dipstick. Take care when when doing
anything under the bonnet, as
some parts of the engine can be
extremely hot (risk of burns).
Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out
at the intervals specifi ed and the vis-
cosity of the oil chosen must meet the
requirements laid down in the manu-
facturer's servicing schedule. Ask for
advice from a PEUGEOT dealer or re-
fer to the Service Box website.

Note: avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin. Empty the
used oil into the containers provided for
this purpose in the PEUGEOT dealer
network (France) or take it to an autho-
rised waste disposal site.
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter regularly in accor-
dance with the recommendations of
the servicing schedule.
Brake fluid change
Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi ls DOT4
Standards.
It is imperative that the brake fl uid is
changed at the intervals specifi ed in
accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.

Note: avoid all contact with the skin,
the brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive. Use only the fl uid recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.

Note: the coolant does not need to be
changed.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is controlled by the
engine fan. As this fan can operate with
the ignition key removed and because
the cooling system is pressurised, wait
for at least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap to the fi rst
notch to release the pressure
to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level with coolant.

The engine fan can oper-
ate after the vehicle has
stopped.
