CRUISE CONTROL Cruise control makes it possible to maintain a steady speed programmed
by the driver, regardless of the road characteristics and without the driverhaving to touch the accelerator or brake pedals. In order to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) or 37 mph (60 km/h), depending on the engine, with at least 4thgear engaged (2nd gear for the automatic gearbox). Operation☞ Place knob 1in the ONposition.
A speed can now be memorised.
☞ Place knob 1in the OFFposition to deactivate the system.
Memorising a speed When you reach the required speed, press button 4. The speed is mem-
orised and will be maintained automatically.Note: it is possible to accelerate temporarily without deactivating the
cruise control. Deactivating the memorised speed If you wish to deactivate the memorised speed:
☞ press button 4or the brake or clutch pedal.
Recalling the memorised speedFollowing deactivation, press button 4. Your vehicle resumes
the last memorised speed. Do not use the cruise control on slippery roadsor in heavy traffic.

When used with approved tyres in
good condition, the ABS increasesthe stability and manoeuvrability ofyour vehicle, particularly on poor orslippery road surfaces. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pres-
sure to be reached more quickly,thus reducing the stopping distance. It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The
effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency. The normal operation of the ABSmay make itself felt by slightvibrations of the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.

CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level Check the level regularly and top up between changes. Maximumconsumption is 0.5 litres per 600miles (1 000 km). The oil level should be checked with the vehicle level and the engine coldusing the oil gauge or the dipstick.Dipstick There are two marks on the dipstick: A= maximum
Never fill past this mark. B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of the engines and of the emission control sys-tems, the use of additivesin the engine oil is prohi-bited.
Oil change According to the indications of the
"PEUGEOT SERVICES" .
Note: avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil with the skin. V iscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's require-ments.

Brakes and clutch level: -The level should always be bet- ween the DANGER and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
- If the level drops substantially,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change - must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing sche-dule.
- use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT 4standards.
Note: the brake fluid is noxious and
very corrosive. Avoid any contactwith the skin. Coolant level Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlledby the engine fan. Because this fan
can operate with the ignition off andbecause the cooling system is pres-surised, wait for at least one hourafter the engine has stopped beforecarrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of burns, slacken
the cap to the first notch to release the pressure. When the pressure hasdropped, remove the cap and top upthe level. Used products Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or coolant down drains or on theground. Power steering fluid level Open the reservoir with the engine cold. The level should always beabove the MINI mark, close to theMAXI mark. W
