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.

SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"
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. Function selected,

This speed limiter shows the function
selection status on the instrument panel and
displays the programmed speed:

The operating actions may be carried out
when stationary, with the engine running,
or with the vehicle moving.
"This is the selected speed which the driver
does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the engine
running while stationary or with the vehicle
moving. The minimum speed which 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.

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.

Rear suspension
Metal suspension
This equipment adopts long movement limiters
which make it possible to guarantee stable
behaviour both when loaded and when empty.
No action on your part is required except to
ensure that maintenance is carried out and that
the authorised loads are complied with. irrespective of the weight of the load, within
the limit of the authorised values. On board,
the increasing or lightening of the load on
the vehicle's platform is detected by two
height sensors. When all of the doors are
closed, the sensors trigger the automatic
compensation and determine the optimum
height of the sill for the vehicle's driving
conditions.
Deactivation of the automatic correction
The control which permits deactivation of the
automatic control is located on the right-
hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.
REAR SUSPENSION
You must deactivate the automatic
correction manually in the following
situations:
- when working underneath the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when the vehicle is being transported by lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...
Two types of suspension are offered.
Rear suspension with pneumatic
compensation
If fitted on your vehicle, this type of
suspension regulates the variations in the
height of the rear platform of your vehicle
1. Automatic
correction

2. Manual correction
1 - Automatic correction of the height of the rear sill
The pneumatic suspension automatically
regulates the variations in the height of the
rear platform of your vehicle. A red warning light on your
instrument panel flashes if the
height is not at its optimum level
and requires correction, drive
slowly until this warning light is
switched off.
The automatic compensation is temporarily
inactive:
- if a door/the tailgate is open,
- when braking or when stopped at a red light (brake pedal pressed). 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 automatic correction
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Return to automatic correction is
confirmed by the diode which is switched off.
According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.
