Speed limiter
exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal no longer has any effect unless it is pressed firmly,
which allows you to temporarily exceed theprogrammed speed.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed speed by releasing the accelerator.
The speed limiter is switched onmanuall
y:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is
switched off by manual foperation of the control.
The pro
grammed speed remains in the memorywhen the ignition is switched off.

The speed limiter cannot, in anycircumstances, replace the need to obser ve speed limits, nor can it replacethe need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.
This information also appears in the head-up display.

Cruise control
speed of the vehicle at the value 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) and the engaging:
- 4th gear or higher on a manual gearbox,
- 2nd
gear or higher on an electronic gear control gearbox or automatic gearbox,
- position A
on the electronic gear control gearbox or Don the automatic gearbox.
Th
e cruise control is switched offmanuallyfor by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
on triggering of the ESC system 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.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value. 1

Driving
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensorslocated in the bumper.Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.






Parking sensors


This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.

The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The s
ystem is switched off when you exit reverse gear.


Rear parking sensors


Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle andthe obstacle becomes less than approximatelythirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.



Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger"symbol is also displayed in the screen.

In good or rainy weather, both day and night, the front foglamps and the rear foglamps are prohibited. In these situations, the power of their beams may dazzle other drivers. They shouldonly be used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your responsibility to switch on the foglamps and dipped headlamps manually as the sunshine sensor may detect sufficientlight.
Do not forget to switch off the front foglamps and the rear foglamps when they are no longer needed.

ignition, operate the lighting control stalk upor down depending on the traffic side (for example: when parking on the left; lightingcontrol stalk upwards; the right hand sidelamps are on).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and
illumination of the corresponding direction
indicator warning lamp in the instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the middle position or
switch on the ignition.
Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the ignition has beenswitched off makes the driver's exit easier when
the light is poor.

or by dipping the headlamps manually using the lighting control stalk, whether
in the "AUTO" or "Dipped/main beam
headlamps" position.

Flashing the headlamps does notdeactivate the system.The state of the system is stored in memory when switching off the ignition. This automatic headlamp dipping system is a driving aid. The driver remains responsible for the vehicle'slighting and its correct use for theprevailing conditions of light, visibility and traffic.


The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:


- under conditions of poor visibility(for example, snowfall, heavy rain or thick fog, ...),

- if the windscreen is dir ty, misted or obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of the sensor,

- if the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs.


The system is not able to detect:


- road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians,

- road users whose lighting isobscured, such as vehicles running behind a safety barrier (on amotorway, for example),

- road users at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on twisty roads, oncrossroads.

Safety








Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection

Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.


All repairs and changing of tyres on awheel fitted with this system must becarried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install awheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres), you must have the system reinitialised
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.
This message is also displayed whenone of the wheels is away from thevehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted.


The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem is an aid to driving which doesnot replace the need for the driver to bevigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not avoid the needto have the tyre pressures checkedregularly (refer to "Identification markings") to ensure that the optimumdynamic performance of the vehicleis maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly in arduousdriving conditions (heavy load, highspeed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember to check the pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detection system may experience temporary interference due to electromagnetic signals on a frequency close to that used by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panelscreen, accompanied by an audible signal, to
identify the wheel concerned.

Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp and
the STOPwarning lamp come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen identifying the wheel concerned. )
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and thebrakes.) Change the damaged wheel (punctured
or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.

Puncture
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel or wheels which are not
detected or to indicate a fault in the system.Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifiedworkshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
)Check the tyre pressures as soon aspossible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.
