driving
 Press 5 , the speed limiter is deactivated.
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed. The use of mats not approved by PEUGEOT may adversely affect the normal operation of the accelerator pedal and impede the operation of the speed limiter. Mats approved by PEUGEOT have a third fixing in the area of the pedals to avoid any risk of inter ference with the pedals.
In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

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 engaging: - 4th gear or higher on a manual gearbox, - 2nd gear or higher on an electronic gear control gearbox or automatic gearbox, - position A on the electronic gear control gearbox or D on the automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off manually switched off manually switched offor by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on triggering of the ESC system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed 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.

 Press 1 , the cruise control is activated but remains paused.  Set the programmed speed by accelerating to the required speed, then press button 2 or 3 (e.g.: 70 mph (110 km/h)).
Programming
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 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.  Pause the cruise control by pressing button 4 : the screen confirms the suspension with with "Pause".  Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4 again.
Exceeding the programmed speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results in flashing of this speed on the display. Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed.
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 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. To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals: - ensure that the mat is positioned c o r r e c t l y, - never fit one mat on top of another.
In the event of a cruise control fault, the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Driving
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.

Parking sensors
This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal. The system is switched off when you come out of reverse gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle. The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is located. When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by displaying bars in the multifunction screen which move progressively nearer to the vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is also displayed in the screen.

Driving
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty. Certain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event of a malfunction of the system, when reverse gear is engaged this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep). Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h). The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are detected or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front parking sensors
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).
Deactivation / Activation of the front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this button. The indicator lamp in the button comes on. Pressing this button again reactivates the function. The indicator lamp in the button goes off.
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front or behind.

134
Driving
System which measures the parking space available between two vehicles or obstacles. It measures the size of the space and gives you information on: - the possibility of fitting into a free space, depending on the dimensions of your vehicle and the distances needed for manoeuvring,
- the level of difficulty of the parking manoeuvre.
The system does not measure spaces which are clearly much smaller or larger than the size of the vehicle.
The warning lamp in the control Acan have two different states:
Displays
- on fixed: the system is switched on by a press on control A . - off: the system is not switched on.

Parking space sensors

Driving
Operation
When you have identified a parking space:  Engage a gear on a manual gearbox or put the gear lever in position A (electronic gear control gearbox) or in position D (automatic gearbox).  Press button A to start the system.  Operate the direction indicator on the side where the space is to be measured; a message is displayed and the warning lamp flashes to confirm that measurement is in progress.  During measurement, go for ward the length of the space, at a speed less than 12 mph (20 km/h), to prepare for your manoeuvre.  Once the measurement has been completed, the system informs you of the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre by a message in the multifunction screen accompanied by an audible signal.
The system displays one of the following messages:
Parking possible
Parking difficult
Parking not advised
If the lateral distance between your vehicle and the parking space is too great, the system may not be able to measure the space.
The system remains available after each measurement and can therefore measure several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are free of dirt, ice or snow. The parking space sensor system deactivates the front parking sensors when measuring forwards. If there is a fault, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The system switches itself off automatically: - when you engage reverse gear, - when you switch off the ignition, - if measuring is not requested, - within five minutes of switching on the system, - if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold of 45 mph (70 km/h) for one minute.
