Exceeding the programmed
speed
Additional pressing of the accelera-
tor to exceed the programmed speed
will have no effect unless the pedal is
pressed irmly (passing the
point of
resistance ).
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and displays the programmed speed
(e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
If a mat is used which is not
recommended by PEUGEOT,
there is a risk that it may slide
under the accelerator pedal
and prevent pressing of the pedal
past the point of resistance.
In this case, it will only be possible to
exit from the speed limiter function by
operating the steering wheel stalk.
Operating check
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the memorised speed is erased, the
dashes lash for a few seconds:
To re-activate the limiter, release the
accelerator to slow down to a speed
below the programmed speed.
Note: sometimes (on a steep descent),
the limiter may not prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed
speed, this speed lashes. A warning light comes on, an audible
signal is heard and a message ap-
pears on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
This system is linked and comple-
mentary to the ABS system.
In the event of a signiicant variation
between the trajectory of the vehicle
and the path required by the driver,
the ESP monitors wheel by wheel
and acts automatically on the engine
and on the brake of one or more
wheels, to put the vehicle back on
course, within the limit of the laws of
physics.
ESP operation
The indicator light
lashes.
The indicator light
comes on. Disarming the ESP
In exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when it is stuck in the
mud, immobilised in snow, on unsta-
ble ground...), it may be advisable to
disarm the ESP.
F
Press the "ESP OFF" switch,
located on the centre console.
The switch lights up and the warning
light comes on: the ESP no longer
acts on the operation of the engine.
Instrument panel

The system is triggered again:
F automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
F automatically above 30 mph
(50 km/h),
F manually by pressing the switch
again. Operating check
When a malfunction of the system
occurs, the warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.

The ESP offers exceptional
safety during normal driving,
but this should not encour-
age the driver to take extra
risks (late braking) or drive at high
speed.
Correct operation of the system
depends on compliance with the
manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and
rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
PEUGEOT assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

ELECTRONICALLY
CONTROLLED SUSPENSION
The suspension adapts automatically
and instantly to different driving styles
and road characteristics, improving
the comfort of the occupants and
the vehicle's road holding capabili-
ties. The suspension favours smooth
shock absorption, ensuring a comfort-
able ride, but as soon as conditions
demand a change (sporty driving,
tight bends, avoidance action, etc.)
it automatically selects irmer shock
absorption, guaranteeing optimum
road holding.

REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four prox-
imity sensors, located in the rear
bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person,
cyclist, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) be-
hind the vehicle. Nevertheless, it
cannot detect obstacles located just
below the bumper.
Warning:
an object, such as a stake,
a roadworks cone or any other simi-
lar object detected at the beginning
of the manoeuvre may no longer be
detected during the manoeuvre.
To make manoeuvres in reverse gear
easier, adjust your mirrors in accord-
ance with the "Automatic tilting of the
mirrors in reverse gear" function.
Maintenance: ensure that the sen-
sors are not covered with mud, frost
or snow.
Deactivation
F Press the switch on the centre
console.
The indicator light on the switch
comes on and the system becomes
completely inactive.
If there is an operating fault,
on changing to reverse gear
a warning light on the instru-
ment panel, an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display indicate that there is a sys-
tem malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle's rear speakers emit an
audible signal:
- on the right if an obstacle is
detected on the right,
- on the left if an obstacle is detected on the left,
- on the right and left if an obstacle is detected in the centre.
When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is less
than approximately twenty-ive centi-
metres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged; an audible
bleep shows that it is active.
The proximity information is given by
an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle.
Switching the system off
F Change to neutral, the system is
again inactive.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure
during driving and trigger a warning
in the event of malfunction.
Flat tyre
Instrument panel
warning light.
This is accompa-
nied by the message on the multi-
function display locating the wheel
concerned.
Instrument panel
display warning
light.
This is accompanied by the audible
signal and the message on the multi-
function display locating the wheel
concerned.
If this warning light comes on, have
the tyre pressure checked as soon
as possible.
Puncture
This warning light, accompanied by
the audible signal and the message
on the multi-function display locating
the wheel concerned, is followed by
illumination of the 'STOP' warning
light. Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very delated tyre), and have
the tyre pressure checked as soon
as possible.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
Instrument panel
warning light.
This is accompanied
by the mesage on the multifunction display
which indicates that under-inlation detec-
tion is absent from one (or several) wheel(s)
or that there is a fault in the system.
Instrument panel
display warning
light.
This is accom-
panied by the audible signal and
the message on the multi-function
display which indicates that under-
inlation detection is absent from one
(or several) wheel(s) or that there is
a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to re-
place the faulty sensor(s).
Note: this message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away from
the vehicle (being repaired) or when
a wheel without a sensor is itted. All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel itted 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
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inlation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the
driver to be vigilant or to drive re-
sponsibly.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (see manufactur-
er's label on the door pillar) to ensure
that the optimum dynamic perform-
ance of the vehicle is maintained and
prevent premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in arduous driving condi-
tions (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-inlation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to radioelectric
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
