Hill start assist

System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) whenstarting on a gradient, the time it takes to move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:


- the vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,

- when cer tain conditions of gradient are met,

- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot bedeactivated.
On an ascendin
g slope, with the vehicle
stationary, if you are in position A or M withan electronic gear control gearbox, the
vehicle is held for a brief moment when yourelease the brake pedal.
Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, thevehicle is held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is beingheld in the hill star t assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle whilethe engine is running, apply the parking brake manually then ensure that theparking brake warning lamp is on (notflashing) in the instrument panel.


Operating fault

If a fault occurs with the system, these warninglamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the systemchecked.

Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle fromexceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal in the normalmanner no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched onmanually: the programmed speed must be at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by manual foperation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below the programmed speed.

The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances,replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains thespeed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: itrequires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph(40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-
fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear on an electronic or automaticgearbox, in sequential mode,
- position A
on an electronic gearbox or position D
on an automatic gearbox.
Th
e cruise control is switched offmanuallyfor by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the electronic stability 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. The controls of this s
ystem are grouped

that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear isengaged, an audible signal (long beep)indicates that the sensors may be dirty. Cer tain sound sources (motorcycle,lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.
In th
e event of a malfunction of
the system, when reverse gea
r
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).

wor
kshop.

Operating fault
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).

Front par king sensors *

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 fur ther obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Driving
In bad weather and in winter, ensurethat the sensors are not covered by road dir t, ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the systemchecked by a PEUGEOT dealer or aqualified workshop.



If the system is deactivated during a manoeuvre, the drive should reactivate it manually to repeat the measurement.


If the lateral distance between your vehicleand the space is too great, the system may not be able to measure the space.
Anything projecting beyond the envelope of the vehicle (long or wide load) is nottaken into account by the Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.
Deactivation
A message is displayed in the screen.
Th
e driver then takes back control of thevehicle's steering.
The system is deactivated automatically:
- on switching off the ignition,
- if the en
gine stalls,
- if no manoeuvre is star ted within 5 minutes
of selection of the type of manoeuvre,
- after a prolonged stop of the vehicle during a manoeuvre,
- if the road wheel anti-spin regulation (ASR) is triggered,
- if the speed of the vehicle exceeds the
stated limit,
- when the driver interrupts movement of the
steerin
g wheel,
- if the driver presses the Park Assist control.
- if correct positionin
g of the vehicle is not possible (too many manoeuvres needed toinser t or extract the vehicle),
- if the driver's door is open,
- if one of the front wheels encounters anobstacle.


Switching off

The system is switched off automatically:


- when towing a trailer,

- if the driver's door is opened,

- if the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph(70 km/h).
To switch the system of for a prolonged period,contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.


Operating faults

In the event of a fault with the system,
this warning lamp is displayed in the
