SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator
pedal no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on


manually: it requires a programmed
speed of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded temporarily by pressing the
accelerator

firmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below
the programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to resp\
ect
speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance on the part of t\
he driver.

EXCEEdING THE PROGRAMMEd SPEEd
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the
programmed speed will not have any effect unless you
press the pedal firmly past the point of resistance.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the
programmed
speed, which is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the
flashing
of the programmed speed.
EXITING THE SPEE d LIMITER MO d E
F Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the speed limiter mode is deselected.
It disappears from the display.
OPERATING F AULT
In the event of a speed limiter malfunction, the speed is cleared
resulting
in flashing of the dashes.
Have
it checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration,
the speed limiter will not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-

ensure that the mat is positioned correctly
,
- do
not fit one mat on top of another.

pedal.
The cruise control is switched off manually or by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal or on triggering of the trajectory control system for safet\
y
reasons.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.

EXCEEdING THE PROGRAMMEd SPEEd
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the
programmed speed results in flashing of this speed in
the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of
intentional or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically \
cancels

the flashing of the speed.
EXITING CRUISE CONTROL MO d E
F Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is
deselected. It disappears from the display.
OPERATING F AULT
In the event of a cruise control malfunction, the speed is cleared
resulting
in flashing of the dashes.
Have
it checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
When the cruise control is switched on, be careful if you maintain
the pressure on one of the programmed speed changing buttons:
this may result in a very rapid change in the speed of your vehicle.
Do
not use the cruise control on slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-

ensure that the mat is positioned correctly
,
- never
fit one mat on top of another.

This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance of the driver.Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks cone, etc.) detected
initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they
are located in blind spots in the sensors' field of detection.
PARKING SENSORSREAR PARKING SENSORS
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, th\
e
frequency
of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on\

which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes
less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree,
gate,

etc.)

which

comes

within

the

field

of

detection

of

sensors

located

in the bumper

.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear. This is
accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out of reverse gear.

FRONT PARKING
SENSORS
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are
triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the
vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more \
than three seconds in forward gear, if no further obstacles are detected
or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
This supplements the audible signal by displaying bars in the
multifunction screen which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is displayed in
the

screen. The function is deactivated by pressing this button. The indicator lamp
in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the function. The indicator lamp in
the button goes off. The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the\

obstacle is in front or behind.

137
RCZ_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2015
deactivation / Activation of the rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated or activated via the vehicle configuration menu.
The status of the function is stored when the ignition is switched off.
OPERATING FAULT
In the event of a malfunction of the system, when reverse gear
is engaged this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact
a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not
covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.)
may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being
towed

or

a

bicycle

carrier

is

fitted

(vehicle

fitted

with

a

towbar

or

bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).
