During the moving off phase, the function
is deactivated automatically, gradually
releasing the braking pressure. During
this phase, the typical noise of mechanical
disengaging of the brakes can be heard,
indicating the imminent movement of the
vehicle.
Anomaly
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning light comes
on accompanied by an audible
s i g n a l a n d c o n fi r m e d b y a

switched off.
If the ESP or ASR comes into operation,
the cruise control function is deactivated
temporarily.
- increase the speed in steps, by means of brief presses, or continuously by
pressing and holding the control
upwards ( + sign),
Temporary exceeding of the speed

possible to exceed the programmed speed
by pressing the accelerator pedal
(to overtake another vehicle for example).

Good practice
When changing the programmed reference
speed by pressing and holding the control,
take care as the speed may increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep gradient, the cruise control will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to comply
with speed limits nor can it replace the need
for vigilance and responsibility on the part
of driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
Cancelling the programmed speed
When the vehicle stops, after the ignition is
switched off, the system no longer stores
any speed.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction, the function
is switched off and the indicator light
switches off.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked.

- the temperature setting control is in the "Hot air" position (red).
- t h e a i r fl o w s e t t i n g c o n t r o l i s i n p o s i t i o n 2 .
This symbol or the previous stored time
and the number (e.g. 1) corresponding to
the recalled pre-selection are displayed for
ten seconds.
Note: if you wish to recall the other pre-
selected times, press the SET button several
times before the ten seconds have elapsed.
Press this button.
The display and the associated
indicator light come on.
Within ten seconds, press these two setting
buttons until the correct time is displayed.
Press ">" to increase the hours or
"<" to decrease.
Press and hold the button for
more rapid scrolling of the digits.
Reading the time
Press this button.
This indicator light comes
on, the time is displayed for
approximately ten seconds. Press this button.
The display and the heating
cycle indicator light come on
and remain on throughout the
duration of operation.
Switching on the deferred heating
Switching on can be programmed between
one minute and twenty-four hours in
advance.
You can store up to three different start
times, but programme one deferred start
only.
Note : if you wish to start the heating at a
fixed time each day, simply reprogramme
the stored time each day.
Press this button, the display
becomes overbright. Within the ten seconds, press
these two setting buttons to
select the required start time.

Cancelling the programming
Press this button briefly to clear
the programmed start time.
The display lighting and the
pre-selection number (e.g. 1) are
switched off.
Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the additional heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in
an enclosed space such as a garage or
workshop which is not fitted with an exhaust
gas extraction system.
The additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle’s fuel tank.
Ensure that the fuel gauge indicator light is
not at reserve.
Always switch off the additional heating
when filling with fuel to avoid any risk of fire
or explosion.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire.
The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The additional heating system is fitted with
a temperature limiter which cuts off the
combustion in the event of overheating due
to a lack of coolant.
Top up the coolant, then press the
programme selection control before
switching the heating on again. Have the additional heating system
checked at least once a year at the
beginning of winter. Maintenance and
repairs should only be carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Use recommended replacement parts only.
Recalling one of the pre-selected start times
Press this button as many times
as necessary until the number
corresponding to the required
pre-selected start time (e.g. 2)
appears.
After ten seconds, the time is cleared but
remains stored for as long as the number
(e.g. 2) and the display remain lit.
Switching off the heating
Press this button.
The heating cycle indicator light
and the display are switched off.
Two different types of equipment
The additional heating is autonomous and
programmable. Before you enter the vehicle,
it gradually increases the temperature of the
engine to make starting easier.
This also facilitates passenger compartment
heating, de-icing and demisting.
The additional passenger compartment
heating system supplements the
standard equipment. Its operation may be
independent of the engine.
Switching on of the heating may be
programmable.
