Special aspects of automatic
mode
The gearbox selects the gear that offers
optimum per formance, taking account of the
exterior temperature, the profile of the road, the
load on the vehicle and the style of driving.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator fully down
(kick-down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or holds the gear selected until
the maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
The steering mounted controls allow the driver
to temporarily select a gear, if the road and
engine speed permit.
Special aspects of manual mode
The change from one gear to another takes
place only if the road speed and engine speed
permit.

ignition is switched off, mode P is engaged
automatically, with the exception of N, in
which case mode P
will be engaged after a
delay of 5
seconds (allowing the change to
free-wheel).
Check that mode P has been engaged and
that the electric parking brake was applied
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
The corresponding indicator lamps
for the selector panel and the
electric parking brake control lever
must be on, as well as the ones in
the instrument panel.

Cruise control
System which automatically
maintains the cruising speed of the
vehicle at a setting 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).
With a manual gearbox, it requires the
engagement of third gear or higher.
With an automatic gearbox, it requires the
engagement of the selector in mode D or of
second gear or higher in mode M .
Speed regulation remains active after
changing gear on vehicles fitted with a
manual gearbox and Stop & Start.
The operation of the cruise control can be
interrupted (pause):
-

b

y pressing control 4 or by pressing the
brake pedal,
-

a

utomatically, if operation of the dynamic
stability control system is triggered. Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to obser ve speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
As a safety measure, you are advised to
keep your feet near the pedals at all times.

When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is
automatically paused.
To activate the system again, with the speed
of the vehicle above 25
mph (40 km/h), press
button 4 .
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the " 0" position:
the cruise control information disappears
from the screen.
Malfunction
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the cruise
control system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at a
constant speed and at an adequate safe
distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, or in
conditions of poor visibility (heavy rain,
fog, falling snow, etc.).
In some circumstances, it may not be
possible to maintain or reach the cruise
speed set: towing, vehicle heavily loaded,
steep climb. The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-

e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-
d
o not fit one mat on top of another.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, the cruise control takes
over again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.
Adaptive cruise control
The cruise control is temporarily overridden
and the programmed speed setting flashes.
This system provides the following
functions:
-

A
utomatic regulation of the
vehicle speed at the value
programmed by the driver.
-

W
ith a manual gearbox,
automatic adjustment of the
distance between your vehicle
and the one in front.
-

W
ith an automatic gearbox,
automatic adjustment of the
distance between your vehicle
and the one in front, which may
cause your vehicle to come to a
complete stop.
Driving

181
Principle of operation
The system automatically adapts the speed of
your vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to
maintain a constant distance.
If the vehicle in front is driving more slowly, the
system slows, or even stops your vehicle, using
engine braking and the braking system (for
versions fitted with an automatic gearbox).The brake lamps illuminate as soon as
the braking system is activated with
deceleration of the vehicle.
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motor ways, this system only
works on moving vehicles
, driving in the
same direction as your vehicle. If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise control
allows your vehicle to temporarily approach
the vehicle in front to assist the overtaking
manoeuvre, though never exceeding the
programmed speed.
The adaptive cruise control system
is a driving aid that cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to obser ve
speed limits and safety distances, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
The driver must be ready to take back
control of their vehicle at any time,
using the brake or accelerator pedal as
appropriate.
