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.
Refer to the "Changing a windscreen
wiper blade" section of chapter 7.
When using an automatic car wash,
switch off the ignition to avoid
triggering of the automatic wiping.
In winter, it is advisable to wait for the
windscreen to completely clear of ice before
operating the automatic wipe.
Rear windscreen wiper
Turn the ring to the first notch. Rear windscreen wash
Turn the ring past the first notch:
the windscreen wash then the
windscreen wiper operate for a
fixed time.
In winter, 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 then operate the rear windscreen wiper.
To park the wipers in their normal position
after this has been done, switch on the
ignition and move the stalk.
Activation
Press the control downwards. Activation of
the function is accompanied by a message
on the display.
The automatic windscreen wipers function
must be reactivated if the ignition has been
switched off for more than one minute, by
pressing the stalk downwards.
Deactivation/Switching off
Place the windscreen wipers stalk in
position
I , 1 or 2 . Deactivation of the

Steering wheel controls 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 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 and responsibility 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.
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). Cancelling the programmed
reference speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
longer memorises a speed.
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). Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by three dashes. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system
checked.

Flashing of the speed
The speed flashes:
- following forcing of the accelerator point of resistance,
- when the limiter cannot prevent an increase in the vehicle speed due to the
profile of the road or on a steep descent,
- in the event of sharp acceleration.
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 .
Good practice
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by three dashes.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked.
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 function off
- Place the dial in position
0 or switch off
the ignition to switch the system off.
The last programmed speed remains in the
memory.
In any event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility 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.

Driver or passenger side comfort value
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
Automatic operation Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the windscreen behind the
mirror, it is used for regulation of the air
conditioning.
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning system
operating mode.
Press this button, the AUTO symbol is displayed. In accordance with the comfort value selected, the system controls the distribution, the fl ow and the intake of air to guarantee comfort and a suffi cient circulation of air in the passenger compartment. No further action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent an excessive diffusion of cold air, the ventilation will reach its optimum level gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are stored when the ignition is switched off and are reinstated the next time the vehicle is started, if the temperature in the passenger compartment has not changed signifi cantly; otherwise, operation resumes in automatic mode.
Turn this control to the left or to the
right to decrease or increase the
value. A setting around the value
21 provides optimum comfort.
However, depending on your requirements,
a setting between 18 and 24 is usual.

Deactivation of the manual correction Good practice
When stationary and with the ignition key
removed, excessive use of the system
consumes battery charge. Parking for a long duration
Avoid parking for a long duration on ground
which could present a potential obstacle as
your vehicle could lower.
Following a long period out of use, the
height of the platform may change due to the
automatic compensation on unlocking or on
opening one of your vehicle's doors.
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Deactivation is confirmed by
the diode which is lit. It remains lit for
approximately 30 seconds.
Return to manual correction
According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.
You must deactivate the manual
correction in the following
situations:
- when working underneath the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when the vehicle is being transported by lorry, train, ferry, boat, ... Warning light
Driving with the height of the rear platform:
- too low, risks damaging the technical
components underneath the vehicle,
- too high, risks unstable driving.
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Return to manual correction is
confirmed by the diode which is switched off. Refer to the "Instruments and controls"
section of chapter 2.
If you start and the warning light flashes,
to switch it off:
- correct the position of the manual
control which is still at the lower or
upper limit,
- or drive slowly at above 6 mph (10 km/h), until the compensation
returns to automatic mode.
