Mud mode
Mode which, when moving off allows considerable spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most grip is controlled in such a way as to pass as much torque as possible. When moving, the system optimises wheel spin to respond to the driver's requirements as fully as possible.
 Place the dial in this position.
Sand mode
Mode which allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to move for ward and limit the risks of getting stuck in the sand.
 Place the dial in this position.
You can deactivate certain functions of the ESC (ASR and DSC) by turning the dial to the " OFF " position.
Driving advice
Your vehicle is designed principally to drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to drive on other less passable terrain occasionally. However, it does not permit off-road driving such as: - crossing and driving on terrain which could damage the underbody or strip away components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, ...) due to obstacles or stones in particular, - driving on terrain with steep gradients and poor grip, - crossing a stream.
Do not use the other modes on sand as the vehicle may become stuck.
These functions are reactivated automatically from 30 mph (50 km/h) or every time the ignition is switched back on.

154Driving
The electric parking brake combines 2 operational modes: - Automatic application/release Application is automatic when the engine stops, release is automatic on use of the accelerator (activated by default), - Manual application/release The parking brake can be applied /
released manually by pulling control lever A .
Electric parking brake
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of registration of the vehicle, the automatic application when the engine is switched off and the automatic release when you press the accelerator can be deactivated.
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, the automatic mode is deactivated.
Activation / deactivation of this function is possible by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
The parking brake is then applied and released manually. When the driver's door is opened, there is an audible signal and a message is displayed if the brake is not applied.
Deactivation is recommended in particularly cold conditions (ice) and during towing (breakdown, caravan...). Refer to the "Manual release" paragraph.
Do not place any object (packet of cigarettes, telephone, ...) behind the electric brake control.

Operating fault
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter 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, - do not fit one mat on top of another.
Return to normal driving Exceeding the programmed
speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal firmly past the point of resistance . The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed, 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.
In the event of a speed limiter malfunction, the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the speed limiter mode is deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.

Steering mounted controls Displays in the instrument panel
The cruise control is switched on manually: it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engagement of: - fourth gear on the manual gearbox, - second gear in sequential mode on an electronic or automatic gearbox, - position A on an electronic gearbox or D on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off manually switched off manually switched offor by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on triggering of the DSC/ASR systems 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.
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
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.
This information also appears in the head-up display. For more information, refer to the "Head-up display" section.

Exceeding the programmed
speed
Return to normal driving
Operating fault
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.
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.
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.
 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.

Gear shift indicator *
Operation
Example: - You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the form of an arrow in the instrument panel screen. Depending on your vehicle's equipment, this arrow may be accompanied by the recommended gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear to use.
* According to engine.
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's equipment, the system may advise you to skip one or more gears. You can follow this instruction without engaging the intermediate gears. The gear recommended should not be considered compulsory. In fact, the configuration of the road, the amount of traffic and safety remain determining factors when choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains responsible for deciding whether or not to follow the advice given by the system. This function cannot be deactivated.
In the case of driving which makes particular demands on the performance of the engine (firm pressure on the accelerator pedal, for example, when overtaking...), the system will not recommend a gear change. The system never suggests: - engaging first gear, - engaging reverse gear, - engaging a lower gear.
