When maintenance operations need
to be carried out with the engine run-
ning, apply the handbrake and select
position P .
When the engine is cold, the operation
of the gearbox may differ from its ope-
ration when the engine is warm.
It is only possible to change
from one gear to another if
the vehicle speed and engine
speed permit. If they do not,
the vehicle will operate temporarily in
automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox auto-
matically selects gear M1 .

ving in automatic mode) to position M
(driving in manual mode) at any time.
The Drive program

 Select position D in the gate: the
gearbox operates in automatic
mode.
The gearbox automatically adapts the
gear in relation to the profi le of the
road and the vehicle load.
To obtain maximum acceleration wi-
thout touching the lever (kick down),
press the accelerator down fully to the
end of its travel (passing the point of
resistance). The program will change
down automatically or will stay in
the gear selected until the maximum

a PEUGEOT dealer.
Operating check
This is confi rmed by the switch light
and the indicator lights. The switch li-
ght comes on for approximately three
seconds every time the ignition is swit-
ched on.
Any operating abnormality is
indicated by lighting of this
warning light, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunc-
tion display.
In this situation the gearbox opera-
tes in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from P to R and
from N to R (this will not cause any da-
mage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) or
keep within local speed limits.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
The suspension adapts automatically
and instantly to different driving styles
and road characteristics, improving
the comfort of the occupants and the
vehicle's road holding capabilities.
The suspension favours a smooth
shock absorption, ensuring a comfor-
table ride, but as soon as conditions
demand a change (sporty driving, ti-
ght bends, avoidance action, etc.), it
automatically selects fi rmer shock ab-
sorption, guaranteeing optimum road
holding.
When the ignition is switched on, the
electronic suspension is always active
in automatic operation mode.

CRUISE CONTROL/
SPEED LIMITER
Selecting the function

 Place switch 1 in the CRUISE
position. The cruise control is not
yet active and no speed has been
memorised. The display indicates: Cancelling the memorised speed
If you wish to cancel the memorised
speed:

 Press button 4 or the brake or
clutch pedal.
The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph
(110 km/h)):
Switching the function off

 Place switch 1 in position 0 or LIMIT
to switch the system off.
First activation/memorising a
speed
As soon as you reach the cho-
sen speed, press button "set-" 2 or
"set+" 3 . This memorises the speed,
which will be maintained automatically.
The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph
(110 km/h)):

Note: It is possible to acce-
lerate and drive momentarily
at a speed greater than the
memorised speed. The value
memorised fl ashes. When the accele-
rator pedal is released, the vehicle will
return to the memorised speed.
Note: the speed memorised
is cancelled automatically if
the vehicle speed is less than
25 mph (40 km/h), or if the
manual gearbox is in a gear lower than
fourth (second gear for the automatic
gearbox) or if the ESP is activated.
On a steep descent, the cruise
control, which does not act on
the brakes, will not be able to
prevent the vehicle from excee-
ding the programmed speed.
The cruise control cannot, in any circums-
tances, replace the need to comply with
speed limits or the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
It is advisable to keep your feet near
the pedals at all times.
Cruise control function
This enables the vehicle to maintain a
steady speed programmed by the driver.
In order for it to be memorised, the
vehicle speed must be greater than
25 mph (40 km/h) with at least fourth
gear engaged for vehicles fi tted with a
manual gearbox.
On vehicles fi tted with an automatic
gearbox, the lever must be in position D
or at least second gear must be enga-
ged in sequential driving mode.

vehicle will return to the last memorised
speed. The display indicates (e.g. at
70 mph (110 km/h)): Cancelling the memorised speed

 When the vehicle is stationary, af-
ter the ignition has been switched
off, the system no longer stores
any speed.
Operating check
In the event of a cruise control malfunc-
tion, the memorised speed is erased,
the dashes fl ash for a few seconds:
Do not use the cruise control
on slippery roads or in heavy
traffi c.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. This prevents the vehicle speed ex-
ceeding the speed programmed by
the driver (minimum speed of 18 mph
(30 km/h)).

The operations must be carried out:
- while stationary, with the engine
running,

or
- while the vehicle is moving.

A speed can be memorised without
activation of the limiter.
A brief press on buttons 2 and 3 de-
creases or increases by 1 mph (1 km/h).
A maintained press decreases or in-
creases the memorised speed progres-
sively in steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Switching the function off

 Place switch 1 in position 0 or

CRUISE or switch off the ignition
to switch the system off. The last
speed programmed remains in the
memory. Activation/deactivation of the
limiter
The activation is taken into account,
when the vehicle is moving, when the
vehicle speed is at least 5 mph (5 km/h)
below the stored speed.
Pressing button
4 activates the limiter,
pressing this button again deactivates it.
When the limiter is active, the display
indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
Exceeding the programmed speed
In exceptional situations, this method
can be used to exceed the program-
med speed.
Pressing the accelerator to exceed the
programmed speed will have no effect
unless the pedal is pressed fi rmly to
the end of its travel (passing the point
of resistance ).
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and displays the speed which fl ashes
(e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)): To re-activate the limiter, release the
accelerator to slow down to a speed
below the programmed speed.
Operating check
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the memorised speed is erased, the
dashes fl ash for a few seconds:
To prevent the mat from beco-
ming caught under the pedals: - ensure that the mat is po- sitioned correctly,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
Selecting the function

 Place switch 1 in the LIMIT posi-
tion. The limiter is not yet active.
By default the display indicates:
Note: sometimes (on a steep
descent), the limiter may not
prevent the vehicle from ex-
ceeding the programmed
speed, this speed fl ashes.
On a steep descent or if you
accelerate sharply, the speed
limiter, which does not act on
the brakes, will not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
The speed limiter cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, replace the need to com-
ply with speed limits or the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE
REAR AND FRONT PARKING
ASSISTANCE
Detection zone
Detection
The system is activated when:
- reverse gear is engaged,
- the speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.
It is accompanied by an audible signal
and/or displaying of the vehicle on the
multifunction display. The proximity of the obstacle is indi-
cated by:
- an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approa-
ches the obstacle,
- a graphic on the multifunction display, with blocks which become increasin-
gly close to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; that is, front or rear and
right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approxima-
tely twenty-fi ve centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous and/or the
"Danger" symbol appears on the multi-
function display.
The system becomes inactive again:
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h),
- at the end of the manoeuvre, when stationary, after a few seconds
(front parking assistance only).
The system is deactivated when
the vehicle has been stationary
for more than 3 seconds.
The parking assistance sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance and res-
ponsibility of the driver.
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear and front
bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, ve-
hicle, tree, gate, etc.) in front of or
behind the vehicle. However, it cannot
detect obstacles located directly under
the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, cone or
any other similar object may be detec-
ted at the beginning of the manoeuvre
but may no longer be detected when
the vehicle comes close to it.
In bad weather or in winter,
ensure that the sensors are
not covered with mud, frost or
snow.
