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 gearbox,
- of second gear on the electronic gear control gearbox or automatic gear-
box, in sequential driving mode,
- of position A on the electronic gear
control gearbox or D on the auto-
matic gearbox. The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk
A .

The cruise control cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the
need to respect speed limits, nor
can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
The cruise control is
switched off man-
ually 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 also appears
in the head-up display.
For more information on the head-up
display, refer to this "Driving" section.

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-
p e r y r o a d s o r i n h e a v y t r a f fi c .
On a steep descent, the cruise control will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- n e v e r fi t o n e m a t o n t o p o f a n o t h e r .
Programming
Exceeding the programmed speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed
s p e e d r e s u l t s i n fl a s h i n g o f t h i s s p e e d o n t h e d i s p l a y .
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intent ional
or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, autom atically
c a n c e l s t h e fl a s h i n g o f t h e s p e e d .
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 a s h i n g o f t h e d a s h e s .
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Set the programmed speed by
accelerating to the required
speed, then press button 2 or 3
(e.g.: 70 mph (110 km/h)).
Switch off the cruise control by pressing button 4 : the dis-
p l a y c o n fi r m s t h a t i t h a s b e e n s w i t c h e d o f f ( O F F ) .
Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4
again.
You can then change the programmed speed using but
tons 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.
Turn dial 1 to the "CRUISE" po-
sition: the cruise control mode is
selected but is not switched on
(OFF).

System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on
v e h i c l e s fi t t e d w i t h a m a n u a l g e a r b o x .
Operation
The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulso-
r y . I n f a c t , t h e c o n fi g u r a t i o n o f t h e r o a d ,
t h e a m o u n t o f t r a f fi c a n d s a f e t y r e m a i n
determining factors when choosing the
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated. Example:
- You are in third gear.
In the case of driving which
makes particular demands
on the performance of the
e n g i n e ( fi r m p r e s s u r e o n t h e a c c e l e r a -
tor pedal, for example, when overta-
king...), the system will not recommend
a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- e n g a g i n g fi r s t g e a r ,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear. - You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you en- gage a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the form
of an arrow on the instrument panel
screen.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.
This equipment will become available
during the year.
- always select neutral,
- press the clutch pedal.
