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 off manually switched off manually switched offor 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.
1. Selection of cruise control mode.
Steering mounted controls
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
The programmed information is grouped together in the instrument panel screen. 5. Cruise control stopped/resumed indication. 6. Cruise control mode selection indication. 7. Programmed speed value. 8. Selecting a memorised speed setting.
Displays in the instrument panel
2. Increase the programmed value. 3. Decrease the programmed value. 4. Cruise control Off / Resume.
The cruise control is switched on manually: it requires 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 automatic gearbox, in manual sequential mode, - position A on an electronic gearbox or position D on an automatic gearbox.

Driving
 Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "CRUISE"position: the cruise control mode is selected but is not switched on (PAUS E).
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.
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results in flashing of this speed in the screen. 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.
Operating fault
Leaving cruise control mode
 Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.
Exceeding the programmed speed
 Set the programmed speed by accelerating to the required speed, then press button 2 or 3 .
 Switch off the cruise control by pressing button 4 : the screen confirms that it has been switched off (PAUSE).
 Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4 again.
In the event of a cruise control malfunction, 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 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
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 parking 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 further obstacles are detected or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
* Available only with the Park Assist system.
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front or behind. 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.

Driving

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space. It controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from a parking space, the system provides visual and audible information to the driver in order to make the manoeuvre safe. It may be necessary to move forwards and backwards more than once.
The Park Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the care and responsibility of the driver. The driver must remain in control of their vehicle ensuring that the space remains clear during the manoeuvre. In some circumstances, the sensors may not detect small obstacles located in their blind spots.
Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres, winter tyres, ...) can inter fere with the correct operation of the parking assistance system.
During a manoeuvre the steering wheel turns quickly: do not hold the steering wheel, do not place your hand between the spokes of the steering wheel and take care with loose and bulky clothing, scarves, handbags... There is a risk of injury.
For entry into a parking space (parallel
parking) the system does not detect spaces which are clearly much smaller or larger than the size of the vehicle. This "parking assistance" system is activated automatically during manoeuvres; it is therefore possible that a symbol comes on in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal, without affecting the manoeuvre.
The system provides assistance in entering and exiting a parking space when parallel parking.
The driver can take control at any time by gripping the steering wheel.
When Park Assist is activated, it
prevents a change to STOP mode of Stop & Start. In STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts the engine.

Driving
In bad weather and in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered by road dirt, ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 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 vehicle and 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 not taken into account by the Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.
Deactivation
A message is displayed in the screen.
The driver then takes back control of the vehicle's steering.
The system is deactivated automatically: - on switching off the ignition, - if the engine stalls, - if no manoeuvre is started 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 steering wheel, - if the driver presses the Park Assist control, - if correct positioning of the vehicle is not possible (too many manoeuvres needed to insert or extract the vehicle), - if the driver's door is open, - if one of the front wheels encounters an obstacle.
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 instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep). The indicator lamp in the control flashes for a few
seconds. If the problem occurs while using the system, the indicator lamp goes off.
In the event of a fault with the power steering, these warning lamps come on in the instrument panel. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
