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 the automatic wiping.
In winter, it is advisable to wait for the
windscreen to completely clear of ice before
operating automatic wipe.
Rear wiper
Turn the ring to the first position.
Rear screenwash
Turn the ring past the first
position: the rear screenwash
then the rear wiper operates for a fixed time.
In winter, in the event of a considerable
amount of snow or ice, switch on the
heated rear screen. Once the screen is
clear, 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 in the
screen.
The automatic rain sensitive windscreen wipers
function must be reactivated by pressing the
stalk downwards, if the ignition has been
switched off for more than one minute.
Deactivation / Switching off
Place the windscreen wipers stalk in
position I , 1 or 2 . Deactivation of the function
is accompanied by a message in the screen.
In the event of malfunction of the automatic
windscreen wipers, the windscreen wipers
will operate in intermittent mode.

OFF - the dashes flash.
This cruise control shows the function
selection status in the instrument panel and
displays the programmed speed:
"This is the speed at which the driver wishes
to drive".
This aid to driving in free-flowing traffic
enables the vehicle to maintain the speed
programmed by the driver, unless a steep
gradient makes this impossible.

Steering mounted controls
AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP03_ERGONOMIE ET CONFORT_ED01-2014
Selecting the function
- Place the switch in the CRUISE position.
The cruise control is selected but is
not yet active and no speed has been
programmed.
First activation/programming a speed
- Reach the chosen speed by pressing the
accelerator.
Temporarily exceeding the speed
It is possible to accelerate and drive
momentarily at a speed greater than the
programmed speed. The value programmed
flashes.
When the accelerator pedal is released, the
vehicle will return to the programmed speed.

- Press this button or the brake or clutch
pedal.
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).

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.
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 or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
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 56, 60, 70
or 80 mph (90, 100, 110 or 130 km/h). The
fixed maximum speed cannot be changed.
The fixed speed limiter is not a function
of the cruise control type. It cannot be
activated or deactivated by the driver while
driving.

SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"
However, pressing the pedal beyond this
point of resistance to the floor allows the
programmed speed to be exceeded. To
resume use of the limiter, simply reduce
the pressure on the accelerator pedal
gradually and return to a speed below that
programmed.

Function activated .
Vehicle speed above
the programmed speed,
which is displayed
flashing.
Operating fault detected,
OFF - the dashes flash.
This speed limiter shows the function
selection status in 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 or a qualified
workshop 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 switch 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.

Recommended settings
For optimum operation of the manual system, the settings below are recom\
mended:
The LED in the button is off. This
is the preferred operating position.
Recirculation of interior air
The LED in the button is on.
Recirculation temporarily prevents
exterior odours and smoke
from entering the passenger
compartment.
Used with the air conditioning switched on
and setting of the force of blown air (from
1 to 4), recirculation enables you to obtain
the required ambient air comfort level more
quickly with both hot or cold settings.
This position should only be temporary.
When your ambient air comfort level has
been reached, return to the intake of exterior
air position to permit renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and avoid misting.
This operating mode is preferable.
