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 offby 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 torespect speed limits, nor can it replacethe need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.

) Turn thumb wheel 1to the "LIMIT"position: the speed limiter mode
is selected but is not switched on(PAUSE).
You do not have to switch the speed limiter
on in order to set the speed.

Programming
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed willnot have any effect unless you press the pedal firmlypast the point of resistance.The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmedspeed, which is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the
flashing of the programmed speed.


Leaving limiter mode
)Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "0"position:
the speed limiter mode is deselected. The
displa
y returns to the distance recorder.
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter willnot be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.
To a v o i d a ny risk of jamming of the pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,

- do not fit one mat on top of another.

In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed
is cleared resultin
g in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.


Operating fault
)Set the speed value by pressing button 2
or 3(e.g.: 55 mph (90 km/h)). You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3:- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.


Exceeding the programmed speed
)Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.


)Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4 .
)Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4: the display confirms that it has been switched off (PAUSE).

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: 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 sequential mode,

- position A
on an electronic gearbox or position D
on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off manually for 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
temporaril
y by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.

Programming
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3:- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,

Intentional or unintentional exceedin
g 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 theflashing 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 vehiclefrom exceeding the programmed speed.
To a v o i d a ny risk of jamming of the pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.

In the event o
f 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.

Memorisation

To select a memorised speed: )
press and hold button " + " or "- "; the systemstops at the closest memorised speed,)
press and hold button " +
" or "-
" again toselect another memorised speed.

A reminder of the speed and the state of thesystem (on / off) is displayed in the instrument
panel.
) Go to the main menu by pressingMENU.
For safety reasons, the driver mustcarry out these operations when stationary.


Selection
)Select the "Settings" menu then "Vehicle settings".)Select the "Vehicle configuration" menu

Driving
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensorslocated 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 exit 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 b
y the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.

When the distance between the vehicle andthe obstacle becomes less than approximatelythirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.



Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal bydisplaying 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.

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. When the vehicle is moving at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer tain soundsources (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 gear
is en
gaged 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
wor
kshop.

Operating fault
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being towedor a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).




Deactivation / Activation of the
rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this switch. The indicator lamp in the switch comes on.
Pressing this switch again reactivates the function. The indicator lamp in the switchgoes off.

Visibility














Lighting controls System for selection and control of the various front and rear lamps providing the vehicle's lighting and signalling.
Main lighting
The vehicle has various lamps:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see without
dazzlin
g other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly when
the road is clear,
- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering.



Additional lighting
Other lamps are installed to fulfil the requirements of particular driving conditions:


- a rear foglamp to better signal the
presence of the vehicle in foggy conditions,

- front foglamps with cornering lighting,

- daytime running lamps to be seen duringthe day,

- guide-me-home and welcome lighting for leaving and entering to the vehicle.


Automatic lighting functions

Various automatic lighting functions are also
available depending on options:


- guide-me-home lighting,

- cornering lighting,

- welcome lighting,

- daytime running lamps,

- automatic illumination of headlamps,

In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of theglass of the headlamps and rear lampsis normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.
