Hill start assistance
This function, linked with the ESP, makes
starting on a hill easier and is activated in
the following conditions:
- the vehicle must be stationary, with the
engine running,
- the gradient of the road must be greater than 5 %, With the brake pedal pressed and the clutch
pedal pressed, when you release the brake
pedal you have approximately 2 seconds
without rolling back and without using the
handbrake within which to move off.
During the moving off phase, the function
is deactivated automatically with gradual
reduction of the braking pressure.
During this phase, a typical noise of
mechanical releasing of the brakes may be
heard, signalling the imminent movement of
the vehicle.

Steering wheel controls
AUTOMATIC LIGHTING
If your vehicle is fitted with this function,
the side lights and dipped headlamps are
switched on automatically if the light is
poor and when continuous operation of the
windscreen wipers is detected.
In fog or snow, the brightness sensor may
detect sufficient light. Therefore, the lights
will not be switched on automatically. If
necessary, you must switch on the dipped
headlamps manually.
They are switched off when the light returns
to a sufficient level or after the windscreen
wipers are switched off. HEADLAMP BEAM
You are advised to adjust the height of the
headlamp beams in accordance with the
load in your vehicle.
This function can be accessed in the dipped
headlamps and main beam headlamps position.

ERGONOMICS AND COMFORT

CRUISE CONTROL
"This is the speed at which the driver wishes
to travel".
This aid to driving in free-flowing traffic
conditions enables the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed programmed by the driver,
except when a considerable load is carried
on a steep gradient.
In order to be programmed or activated,
the vehicle speed must be greater than
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h), with at
least 4th gear engaged.
If your vehicle is fitted with cruise control,
this is displayed on the instrument panel by
an indicator light located in the rev counter.
Function selected.

control function is restored. Changing the programmed speed
while the cruise control is in
operation
You can:
- increase the speed in steps, by means of
brief presses, or continuously by pressing
a n d h o l d i n g t h e c o n t r o l u p w a r d s ( + s i g n ) ,

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
VENTILATION
DE-ICING AND DEMISTING Manual mode
Direct the control to this air
distribution setting.
For faster and more effective
de-icing and demisting of the
windscreen: De-icing the rear screen and mirrors
Only operates when the engine
is running. Pressing this button
activates the rapid demisting-
de-icing of the rear screen and
mirrors.
This function switches off automatically to
prevent excessive energy consumption. It
stops when the engine is switched off but
resumes when the engine is started again.
Pressing this button switches the function off.
- increase the air flow setting,
- move the exterior air intake control temporarily to air
recirculation.
Returning to the exterior air
intake position permits renewal
of the air in the passenger
compartment.
Windscreen and side windows
The ventilation outlets located at the base
of the windscreen and the side vents for the
side windows increase the effectiveness of
the de-icing and demisting. Do not obstruct
these air outlets.
The pollen filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
The air recirculation (which can be activated
by the driver or the passenger) isolates the
passenger compartment from the exterior
atmosphere. However, this position should
only be used temporarily, the norm is to
drive with the control positioned with the
exterior air intake open.
