Operation
A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a
service operation comes on; the display for
the total distance recorder gives (in round
figures) the distance remaining before the
next service.
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
showing the total and trip distances.

Less than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner fl ashes and the number of
miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
and the spanner remains on. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly. The distance remaining before the next
service may be weighted by the time
factor, depending on the type of driving.
More than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due

Example:
4 800 miles/km remain before
the next service is due. When the ignition is
switched on and for a few seconds,
the screen shows:
SERVICE INDICATOR
This programmes service intervals according
to the use of the vehicle.
The points at which a service is due are
calculated from the last indicator zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:


- the distance travelled,

- the time which has elapsed since the
last service. If when changing a tyre, you fit a
wheel not detected by your vehicle
(for example: fitting snow tyres), you must
have the system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

The tyre under-inflation detection system
is a driving aid which does not take the
place of vigilance or the responsibility of
the driver.
All repairs and changing of tyres on
a wheel fitted with this system must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Good practice

This system does not avoid the need to
have the tyre pressures checked regularly
(including the spare wheel), to ensure that
the dynamic performance of the vehicle
remains at its best and to avoid premature
wear of the tyres, in particular in the case of
heavy loads and high speeds.
Observing the recommended tyre pressures
helps reduce the vehicle's fuel consumption.
The system may temporarily be disturbed by
electro-magnetic emissions on a frequency
close to that used by it.

Changing into 5 th
or 6 th
gear

Move the gear lever fully to the right to
engage 5 th or 6 th
gear. To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand on
the gear knob as the force exerted, even if
slight, may wear the internal components of
the gearbox over time.


GEARBOXES AND STEERING WHEEL


5-speed gearbox
6-speed gearbox
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR


In order to drive as fuel effi ciently
as possible with a manual gearbox,
this indicator lamp indicates to the
driver when to change up.
The driver remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow this indication, since
the indicator lamp comes on without taking
into account the configuration of the road,
the amount of traffic and safety factors.
The system cannot be deactivated.

When reverse gear is engaged
and when changing down whilst
decelerating, the function is not active.



Engaging reverse gear

In the 6-speed configuration, raise the collar
under the gear knob to engage reverse gear.
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.

Switching the function off



- Place the dial in position 0
or switch off
the ignition to switch everything off.

Good practice
When changing the programmed reference
speed by means of a maintained press,
pa
y attention as the speed can increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heav
y traffic.
In the event of a stee
p slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceedin
g the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed
limits, nor can it replace the need
for
vi
gilance and responsibility on the part of the
driver.
It is advisable to leave your
feet near the
pedals.
To avoid an
y jamming under the pedals:


- ensure that the mat and its fixings on the
floor are positioned correctly,

- never place one mat on top of another.



Cancelling the programmed
reference speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
lon
ger memorises a speed. Usin
g the accelerator:


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

- press the Set +
or Set -
button.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:


- press the Set -
button.

A brief press decreases the speed by
1 mph
(km/h).

A maintained press decreases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced b
y three dashes. Contact a
PEUGE
OT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.

FIXED SPEED LIMITER

If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
speed of your vehicle can be limited to a
fixed speed of approximatel
y 56, 60, 70 or
130 mph
(90, 100, 110 or 130 km/h). The
fixed maximum speed cannot be changed.
The
fixed speed limiter is not a function
of the cruise control type. It cannot be
act
ivated or deactivated by the driver while
drivin
g.

SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"
However, pressing the pedal beyond this
point of resistance to the floor allows the
pro
grammed speed to be exceeded. To
resume use o

the
pressure on the accelerator pedal
gradually and return to a speed below that
programmed.

"This is the selected speed which the driver does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the en
gine running while stationary or with the vehicle moving. The minimum speed which can beprogrammed is 20 mph (30 km/h).
The s
peed of the vehicle responds to the pressure of the driver's foot as far as the
accelerator pedal point of resistance which
indicates that the programmed speed has
been reached.

Flashing of the speed

The speed flashes:


- following forcing of the accelerator point
of resistance,

- when the limiter cannot prevent an
increase in the vehicle speed due to the
profile of the road or on a steep descent,

- in the event of sharp acceleration.



Exceeding the programmed speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal in order to
exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect unless you press the pedal firmly
beyond the point of resistance.


Good practice



Operating fault

The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by three dashes.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the s
ystem checked.
The limiter is deactivated temporaril
y and
the pro
grammed speed flashes.
To return to the limiter
function, reduce your
speed to below the programmed speed.
Switching the function off



- Place the switch in position 0
or switch
off the ignition to switch the system off.
The last programmed speed remains in the
memory.
In an
y event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.

Always pay attention to the profile of the
road and sharp acceleration and stay in
complete control of your vehicle.

To avoid any jamming under the pedals:


- ensure that the mat and its fixings on the
floor are positioned correctly,

- never place one mat on top of another.
