"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 18 mph (30 km/h), with 2nd gear
or higher engaged.
Function selected.
Function deactivated.
If your vehicle is fitted with cruise control,
this is displayed on the instrument panel by
an indicator located in the rev counter.

into operation, the cruise control system is
deactivated temporarily.
-
increase the speed in steps, by means
of brief presses, or continuously by


pressing and holding the control
upwards (+ sign),
temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
When the cruise control is active, it is still
possible to exceed the programmed speed
by depressing the accelerator pedal (to
overtake another vehicle for example).
-
decrease the speed continuously
by pressing and holding the control


downwards (- sign).
restore - rES
to restore the vehicle's
programmed speed (for example
after pressing the brake or clutch
pedal), gradually return to the chosen speed
and press
rES

51Good 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 or vigilance 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 fault, the system
is switched off and the indicator
goes off.
Contact a P
eugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

momentarily at a speed greater than the
programmed speed.
When the accelerator pedal is released, the
vehicle will return to the programmed speed.
reactivation
- Following deactivation of the cruise
control, press this button.
A message
appears in the instrument panel screen
to confirm the reactivation.
Your vehicle will return to the last
programmed speed.
Alternatively, you can repeat the "first

there are two methods of memorising a
speed higher than the previous one:
Without using the accelerator:
-
Move the switch up (+).
A brief press increases the speed by


1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
using the accelerator:
-
exceed the memorised speed until the
speed required is reached,
-
move the switch up (+) or down (-).
to memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
-
move the switch down (-).
A brief press decreases the speed by


1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
changing the
programmed
speed Switching the system off
- Place the ring in the central o position
or switch of f the ignition to switch the
system off.
When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
longer memorises a speed.
operating fault
In the event of a fault, the system
switches off and the indicator
goes off. Contact a P
eugeOt
dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
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 traffic.
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 on the part of the driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
to avoid any jamming under the pedals:
-
ensure that the mat and its fixings on the
floor are positioned correctly

,
-
never place one mat on top of another.

SPEEd LIMItEr
"this is the selected speed which the driver
does not wish to exceed".
this selection is made with the vehicle
stationary and the engine running or with the
vehicle moving and 2
nd gear or higher engaged.
the lowest speed that can be programmed


is 20 mph (30 km/h).
the speed of the vehicle responds to the
pressure of the driver's foot as far as the
accelerator pedal point of resistance which
indicates that the programmed speed has been
reached. However

, pressing the pedal beyond this
point of resistance to the floor permits
exceeding of the programmed speed.
to
resume use of the limiter
, simply reduce
the pressure on the accelerator pedal
gradually and return to a speed below that
programmed.
the operating actions may be carried out


with the vehicle stationary and the engine
running, or with the vehicle moving.
this speed limiter shows the status of the

system and the programmed speed in the
instrument panel screen:
System selected,
display of the "Speed
Limiter" indicator.
System deactivated,
last programmed speed -
oFF
(example at 65 mph


(107 km/h)).
System activated
(example at 65 mph (107 km/h)).
Vehicle speed above
(example 70 mph (118 km/h))
the programmed speed is
displayed flashing.
Operating fault detected,

Selecting the function
- turn the ring fully downwards. the
speed limiter is selected but is not yet
active.
the display indicates oFF

and
the last programmed speed.
Programming a speed
A speed can be programmed without
activating the limiter but with the engine
running.
to memorise a speed higher than the
previous one:
-
move the switch up (+).
A brief press increases the speed by


1
mph (km/h).
A

maintained press increases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
to memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
-
move the switch down (-).
A brief press decreases the speed by


1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Activation/deactivation
Pressing this button once activates the
speed limiter,
oFF
disappears from the
screen and a message appears to confirm
the activation.
A second press deactivates it,
oFF
reappears in the screen and a message


appears to confirm the deactivation.

57
Exceeding the programmed
speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal in order to
exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect unless you press the pedal firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
If the limiter is unable to prevent an increase
in the speed of the vehicle because of the
profile of the road or when going down a
step hill, the programmed speed may be
exceeded.
the limiter is deactivated temporarily and


the programmed speed flashes.
to return to the limiter function, reduce your
speed to below the programmed speed.
Switching the system off
- Place the ring in the central o position
or switch of f the ignition to switch the
system off.
the last programmed speed remains in the


memory.
operating fault
the programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by dashes.
Contact a P
eugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Good practice
In any event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
Always pay attention to the profile of the
road and sharp acceleration and stay in
complete control of your vehicle.
to avoid any jamming under the pedals:
-
ensure that the mat and its fixings on the
floor are positioned correctly

,
-
never place one mat on top of another.

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).
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.
the maximum speed set in the factory


depends on the legislation in force in
the country of sale.
this maximum speed cannot be modified by


the driver.
If you want the maximum speed modified, go
to a P
eugeOt dealer.
