Steering wheel controls
Cancelling the programmed speed
When the vehicle stops, after the ignition is
switched off, the system no longer stores
any speed. 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.
Switching the function off - OFF
Place the dial in the
OFF position, the
indicator light is switched off, or switch off
the ignition to switch everything off.
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.

Ventilation
ADDITIONAL HEATING SYSTEMS
Supplementary heating
On the 2-3 seats version, this is located
under the seat on the driver ’s side with air
diffusion directed forwards.REAR HEATING AND/OR AIR
CONDITIONING
If your vehicle is fitted with an
additional air conditioning unit,
located in the rear of the vehicle:
the distribution rail located in
the roof and the individual diffusion vents
provide a perfect diffusion of cold air.
The warm air diffused at the floor, from the
front air conditioning unit, is distributed at
the feet of the rear passengers of rows 2
and 3.
A warm air diffusion vent, located on the rear
left wheelarch, may complete the assembly
for the feet of the rear passengers of row 3.
Additional heating
This is an additional passenger compartment
heating system which supplements the
standard equipment.
It can operate independently of the engine.
Depending on the level of finish of the
equipment, its start-up can be programmed.
Additional heater or programmable
heating
This is an additional and autonomous
system which heats the diesel engine hot
coolant loop to make starting easier.
It improves the de-icing and demisting
performance and that of the heated seats, if
fitted in the vehicle.
The passenger compartment heating is
brought up to temperature more rapidly.
This system must be programmed to start up
before you enter the vehicle.
On the 5-9 seats version, it is
located at the rear. Depending
on the model version, the air
diffusion is either direct from the
rear or comes from the rail located under
each of the two rows of seats.
Press this control to activate/
deactivate the heating. The diode
is lit if the heating is activated.
When rapid de-icing and
demisting is required, switch off the control.

PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION
If your vehicle is fitted with the pneumatic
suspension, you can adjust the height of
the rear sill to make loading and unloading
easier.
The control pad is located on the fascia.
There is a nominal level as well as 6 sill
adjustment levels, raising (from +1 to +3) or
lowering (from -1 to -3). Each level reached
is indicated on the instrument panel display.Manual adjustment of the loading
sill
Raise: upwards adjustment of the
platform sill
Press the control, release to
stop the movement. Each press
increases by one level: +1 to +3.
Lower: downwards adjustment of
the platform sill Press the control, release to stop
the movement.
Each press decreases by one
level: -1 to -3. Return to the optimum sill height
Press the same number of times in reverse
as the level of the position displayed.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS - EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels, the
EBFD provides full control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached more
quickly, press the pedal irmly without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is activated. This alters the resistance
of the brake pedal under your foot.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved.
If this warning light comes on,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on
braking.
If this warning light comes on,
together with the brake warning
light, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of
control of the vehicle on braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Driving safety
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding
losses of control of the vehicle on
acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of the vehicle
to be improved on acceleration.
Use the ESP to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer.If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required
by the driver, the ESP system automatically
acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
DISARMING THE ASR SYSTEM
In certain exceptional conditions (when
starting a vehicle stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful to
disarm the ASR system to make the wheels
spin and regain grip.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems The luminous diode flashes when
the ASR or ESP is triggered. Press this button.
The diode on the button comes on: the
ASR system no longer acts on the engine
operation, but continues to act on the brakes.
MALFUNCTION
When a malfunction of the ASR
system occurs, this warning light
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and confirmed by a
message on the display.

FIXED SPEED LIMITER
If your vehicle is fitted with this function,
the speed of your vehicle can be limited
to a fixed speed of approximately 55 mph
(90 km/h) or 60 mph (100 km/h). This
maximum speed cannot be changed.
A label in the passenger compartment
indicates this maximum speed.
The fixed speed limiter is not a function
of the cruise control type. It cannot be
activated or deactivated by the driver while
driving.
When a malfunction of the ESP
system occurs, this warning light
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and confirmed by a
message on the display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked.
Good practice
The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
incite the driver to take risks or to drive at
high speed.
The operation of these systems is ensured
if the recommendations of the manufacturer
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures within the PEUGEOT network
are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
