The original key contains a coded electronic
chip. When the ignition is switched on, starting
is only possible if the code is detected and
recognised.
This protection against theft locks the engine
management system a few moments after the
ignition is switched off and prevents starting of
the engine following a break-in. In the event of a fault, you are
informed by lighting of this warning
lamp in the instrument panel, an
audible signal and a message in the

an audible signal and a message
on the screen, indicates a gearbox
fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60
mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible. There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:

To reduce fuel consumption during
prolonged stops with the engine running
(traffic jams, etc.), position the gear lever
at N and apply the parking brake.Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gearshift recommendations should not be
considered obligatory. The configuration of the
road, the amount of traffic and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the best
gear. The driver thus remains responsible
for deciding whether to follow or ignore the
system's instructions.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an electronic or automatic gearbox,
the system is only active in manual mode.

Speed limiter "LIMIT"
The system prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed setting programmed by
the driver.
Steering mounted controls
1. Speed limiter mode selection / off.
2. Increases the set value.
3. Decreases the set value.
4. Speed limiter On / Pause. The vehicle responds to the accelerator until
resistance is felt in the pedal, which signifies
that the vehicle has reached the limiter speed
setting.
However, pressing the pedal beyond this point
of resistance to the floor permits exceeding
of the programmed speed. To resume use of
the limiter, simply reduce the pressure on the
accelerator pedal gradually and return to a
speed below that programmed.
Setting and operation of the system can be
done stationar y with the engine running or
when driving.
Selection
F Place the thumbwheel at the "LIMIT"

position: the speed limiter mode is selected
but is not switched on (PAUSE).
Switching the speed limiter on is not required to
set the speed limit.
The speed setting is selected with the engine
running, stationary or when driving. The
minimum speed setting possible is 20

mph
(30


km/h).
