STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT AND
REACH ADJUSTMENT

When the vehicle is stationary,
release the steering wheel adjustment
mechanism by lowering the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height
and reach, then lock the adjustment
mechanism by pushing the lever fully
upwards.
MANUAL GEARBOX



5-speed gearbox

6-speed gearbox

To change gear easily, always press
the clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedal:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- never fi t one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on the gear knob as the force exerted,
even if slight, may wear the internal
components of the gearbox over time.


Reverse gear (6-speed)

Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear.
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to
reduce the noise on engaging reverse
gear.

Starting and stopping


STARTING AND STOPPING

STOP position: steering lock.
The ignition is off.


Good practice when starting


Handbrake
If your vehicle is fi tted with a
version with a rotating front seat,
the handbrake can be disengaged.
Pulling the handbrake to immobilise
the vehicle then lowering the lever
does not release the brake, it permits
rotation of the driver’s seat.
Pull the button placed at the end of the
handbrake forwards.
The handbrake lever lowers.
You can now rotate the seat.
To return to normal operation, pull the
lever up until it clicks.
If the handbrake is on or has
not been released fully, this is
indicated by:
- a warning light which comes
on on the instrument panel,
- an audible signal,

- a message on the display.

Key
Take care not to place the key in
contact with grease, dust, rain or a
damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key
(key ring, …) weighing down on the
shaft of the key in the ignition switch
may cause a malfunction.

Running and accessories position.
Certain accessories can be used.
Starting position.
The starter is operated.

Diesel pre-heating warning
light
Turn the key to the Running
position.
In cold weather, wait for this warning
light to switch off then operate the
starter (Starting position) until the
engine starts.
If the temperature is high enough, the
warning light comes on for less than
one second, you can start without
waiting.


Good practice when stopping


Minimise engine and gearbox wear
When switching off the ignition, let the
engine run for a few seconds to allow
the turbocharger to return to idle.
Do not press the accelerator when
switching off the ignition.
There is no need to engage a gear
after parking the vehicle.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Do not cover the brightness
sensor located in the centre of the
fascia. It is used for the automatic
switching on of the lights and for the
automatic wipers.



Activation
Turn the ring to the AUTO
position.
The activation of this function is
accompanied by a message on the
display.

AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF
THE XENON HEADLAMPS

On vehicles which are fi tted with xenon
headlamps, this system automatically
corrects the height of the light beam,
regardless of the load in the vehicle.
The driver is then guaranteed optimum
lighting without dazzling other road
users.
Cancelling:
- "fl ash" the headlamps,

-
get out of the vehicle and lock it.

with a brightness
sensor, the side lights
and dipped beam
headlamps switch on
automatically if the
light is poor, or during operation of the
windscreen wipers. They switch off
as soon as the light becomes bright
enough or the windscreen wipers stop.
This function is not compatible with the
daytime lights.

WINDSCREEN WIPER STALK

Manual windscreen wipers

Special position of the
windscreen wipers
In the minute following switching
off of the ignition, any action on the
stalk positions the wipers against the
windscreen uprights.
This action enables you to position
the wiper blades for winter parking,
cleaning or replacement.

Vehicle fitted with the
automatic windscreen
wipers control
Do not cover the rain sensor located in
the centre of the fascia.
On vehicles which are fi tted with
this control, in the AUTO
position,
the windscreen wipers operate
automatically and adapt their speed
to the intensity of the rainfall
.
When not in AUTO
mode, for the
other positions, refer to the manual
windscreen wipers section.
The command must be reactivated
whenever the ignition has been
switched off for more than
one minute:

-


move the stalk to any position,

-
then move it back to the required
position.

Good practice

When using an automatic car
wash, switch off the ignition without
setting the alarm.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until the
windscreen is completely clear of ice
before activating the automatic wiping.
In the event of a considerable amount
of snow or ice, switch on the rear
screen demister. Once de-icing is
complete, remove the snow or ice
which has accumulated on the rear
wiper blade. You can now operate the
rear windscreen wiper.

CRUISE CONTROL "CRUISE"

On vehicles fi tted with an automatic
gearbox, the lever must be in position D

(Drive) or at least 2nd gear must be
engaged in manual mode. Function selected,
displaying of the
"Cruise Control"
symbol.
Function deactivated,
OFF (example at
65 mph (107 km/h)).
Function activated
(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
Vehicle speed above
(e.g. 70 mph
(118 km/h)),
the programmed
speed is displayed
fl ashing.
Operating fault
detected,
OFF - the dashes
fl ash. This cruise control shows the function
selection status on the instrument
panel and displays the programmed
speed:
"This is the speed at which the driver
wishes to drive".
This aid to driving in free-fl owing
traffi c enables the vehicle to maintain
the speed programmed by the driver,
unless a steep gradient makes this
impossible.
In order for it to be programmed or
activated, the vehicle speed must be
greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) with at
least 4th gear engaged in the case of
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox. If the vehicle is fi tted with a speed
limiter and cruise control (according
to the country in which the vehicle is
sold and the engine), these functions
cannot be activated at the same time.

Selecting the function



- Place the switch in the CRUISE

position. The cruise control is
selected but is not yet active and
no speed has been programmed.



First activation/
programming a
speed


- Reach the chosen
speed by pressing the
accelerator.

- Press the SET -
or
SET +
button.
This programmes/activates the
reference speed and the vehicle will
maintain this speed.


Temporary exceeding of the
speed
It is possible to accelerate
and drive
momentarily at a speed greater than
the programmed speed. The value
programmed fl ashes.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the vehicle will return to the
programmed speed.


Reactivation



- Following deactivation of the cruise
control, press this button.


Your vehicle will return to the last
programmed speed.
Alternatively, you can repeat the "fi rst
activation" procedure.


Deactivation (off)



- Press this button or
the brake or clutch
pedal.

Switching the function off



- Place the dial in position 0
or switch
off the ignition to switch everything
off.



Good practice

When changing the programmed
reference speed by means of a
maintained press, pay attention as
the speed can increase or decrease
rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffi c.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near
the pedals.
To avoid any jamming under the
pedals:


- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
on the fl oor are positioned correctly,

- never place one mat on top of
another.



Changing the
programmed speed
There are two methods
of memorising a
speed higher than the
previous one:
Without using the accelerator:


- press the Set +
button.
A brief press increases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).

Operating fault

The programmed speed is cleared and
the dashes fl ash for a few seconds.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. Using the accelerator:


- exceed the memorised speed until
the speed required is reached,

- press the Set +
or Set -
button.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:


- press the Set -
button.
A brief press decreases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).


Cancelling the programmed
reference speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary,
after switching off the ignition, the
system no longer memorises a speed.
