It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.

operate in manual mode.
Manual operation

operation
this symbol is displayed if a gear is

Stopping the vehicle
If the selector lever is not in position P ,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, there is an
audible signal and a message appears.
F
Re

turn the selector lever to
position
P ; t

he audible signal stops
and the message disappears. When the ignition is on, a message
appears in the instrument panel
screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating 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
.
thi

s will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a P
eu

ge
Ot d
ealer or a
qualified workshop.
Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode. You risk damaging the gearbox:
-
if y

ou press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
-
if y

ou force the lever from position
P

to another position when the
battery is flat.
to re

duce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the selector lever at N and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.

System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.

replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at

the active cruise control is switched on m anually,
it requires that the speed of the vehicle be between
25 mph (40 km/h) and 90 mph (150 km/h).
General points
the active cruise control can be paused
m anually with the control, or automatically:
-
by p

ressing the brake or clutch pedal,
-
in t

he event of operation of the
eS

safety reasons,
-
in t

he event of an action of the electric
parking brake control,
-
wh

en an inter-vehicle time threshold is
reached (calculated according to the
relative speeds of your vehicle and the
vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time
setting chosen),
-
wh

en the distance between your vehicle
and the one in front becomes to small,
-
wh

en the speed of the vehicle in front is
to
l

ow,
-
wh

en the speed of your vehicle becomes
too low.
the a

ctive cruise control cannot in any
circumstances replace the observation
of speed limits, nor the need for the
vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
the i

nter-vehicle time setting is
memorised when switching off the
ignition.
With a manual gearbox, third or fourth gear
(depending on engine) or higher must be
engaged.
With an automatic gearbox, second gear or
higher must be engaged.
If the cruise speed setting is above 90 mph
(150 km/h), the active cruise control switches to

When the active cruise control is
automatically paused, it can only be
reactivated when safe conditions are
restored.
the
message "Activation
not possible, conditions unsuitable"
is displayed while reactivation is not
possible.
When the conditions allow, it is
recommended that the function be
reactivated by pressing button 2 (S
et+)


or 3 (S
et-)

, which will make the current
speed of your vehicle the new cruise
speed setting, rather than by pressing
button 4 (on/pause) which reactivates
the cruise control using the old cruise
speed setting, which may be very
different from the current speed of your
vehicle.the s peed regulation range is limited to a
maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h)
between the speed setting and the speed of the
vehicle in front.
Above this, the system goes into pause if the
safe distance becomes too low.
the a

ctive cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle looses speed slowly, as when releasing
the accelerator pedal.
the s

ystem is paused automatically:
-
if t

he vehicle in front slows down to much
or too suddenly, and the driver does not
brake,
-
if a v

ehicle comes between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front,
-
if t

he system does not slow the vehicle
enough to continue to maintain a safe
distance, for example when descending a
steep hill.
Limits of operation
As the radar's field of view is quite narrow, it is
possible that the system may not detect:
the c
ruise control does not take account of:
- st ationary vehicles,
- ve hicles driving in the opposite direction.
-
ve

hicles of reduced width, such as
motorcycles, for example, -
ve

hicles not running in the middle of the
lane,
-
veh
icles entering a corner,
-
ve
hicles changing lane at the last
moment.
