DRIVING

Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P or N to place the

gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle.

Operating fault

When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multi-

function screen, indicates a gearbox

malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to

emergency  mode  and  is  locked  in  3rd
gear. You may feel a substantial knock
when changing from  P  to  R  and from  N
to  R . This will not cause any damage to

the gearbox.

Do not exceed a speed of 60 mph

(100 km/h), local speed restrictions per-

mitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.

There is a risk of damage to the

gearbox:
-

if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,

if you force the lever from
position P to another position

when the battery is ﬂ at.

Manual operation

 Select position M for sequential

changing of the four or six gears.

 Push the lever towards the + sign to

change up a gear.

 Pull the lever towards the - sign to

change down a gear.

  D   disappears  and  the  gears
engaged  appear  in  succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
In  the  event  of  under-revving
or  over-revving,  the  gear  se-

lected ﬂ ashes for a few seconds, then

the actual gear engaged is displayed.

If the lever is not in position P ,
when the driver's door is opened or

approximately 45 seconds after the

ignition is switched off, an audible
signal is heard and a message ap-
pears.
 Return the lever to position P ;

the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.

It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the

gearbox will operate temporarily in au-

tomatic mode.

Invalid value during manual
operation

This  symbol  is  displayed  if  a
gear  is  not  engaged  correctly
(selector  between  two  posi-

tions).

It is possible to change from position D

(automatic) to position M (manual) at

any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving

very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1

automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.

To limit fuel consumption when sta-
tionary for long periods with the en-

gine running (trafﬁ c jam...), place

the gear lever in position N and apply
the parking brake.

The  speed  limiter  cannot,  in  any
circumstances,  replace  the  need
to  respect  speed  limits,  nor  can  it
replace  the  need  for  vigilance  and
responsibility  on  the  part  of  the
driver.

The speed limiter is switched on manu-
ally: 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 exceed-

ed temporarily by pressing the accelera-

tor ﬁ rmly.
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.

DRIVING

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 pro-

grammed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the

pedals:
-

ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- do not ﬁ t one mat on top of

another.

Programming

 Turn dial 1 to the "LIMIT" position:

the speed limiter mode is selected

but is not switched on (OFF).

You do not have to switch the speed
limiter on in order to set the speed.

Exceeding the programmed speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed

speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal

ﬁ rmly past the point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the pro-

grammed speed, which is still displayed, ﬂ ashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional
or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically

cancels the ﬂ ashing of the programmed speed.

Return to normal driving

 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the speed limiter mode

is deselected. The display returns to the distance
recorder.

Operating fault

In the event of a speed limiter malfunc-
tion, the speed is cleared resulting in

ﬂ ashing of the dashes.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

 Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4 : the

display conﬁ rms that it has been switched off (OFF).

 Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4

again.

 Set the speed value by pressing button 2 or 3 (e.g.: 55 mph

(90 km/h)).

You  can  then  change  the  programmed  speed  using  but-
tons  2  and  3 :
   -   by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,

- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,

- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
 Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4 .

DRIVING

CRUISE CONTROL

System  which  automatically  maintains
the  speed  of  the  vehicle  at  the  value
programmed  by  the  driver,  without  any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The  cruise  control  is   switched  on
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle

speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-

gaging:
-

of fourth gear on the manual

gearbox,

of second gear on the electronic

gear control gearbox or automatic

gearbox, in sequential driving mode,

of position A on the electronic

gear control gearbox or D on the

automatic gearbox.

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 trafﬁ c.
On a steep descent, the cruise
control will not be able to prevent

the vehicle from exceeding the pro-

grammed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the

pedals:
-

ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- never ﬁ t one mat on top of

another.

Programming

 Turn dial 1 to the "CRUISE"

position: the cruise control mode
is selected but is not switched on

(OFF).

Exceeding the programmed speed

Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed

speed results in ﬂ ashing of this speed on the display.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically can-

cels the ﬂ ashing of the speed.

Return to normal driving

 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode

is deselected. The display returns to the distance
recorder.

Operating fault

In the event of a cruise control malfunc-
tion, the speed is cleared resulting in

ﬂ ashing of the dashes.

DRIVING

REAR PARKING SENSORS

System consisting of four proximity sen-

sors, located in the rear bumper.

This detects any obstacle (person, ve-

hicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the vehicle,

except obstacles located just below the

bumper.

An object, such as a stake, a road-

works cone or any other similar

object may be detected at the be-

ginning of the manoeuvre, but may
no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it.

  The  parking  sensor  system  can-
not,  in  any  circumstances,  take
the  place  of  the  vigilance  and  re-
sponsibility of the driver.

Activation

The system is activated as soon as re-
verse gear is engaged, accompanied

by an audible signal. The proximity in-

formation is given by:
-

an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle.

a  graphic  on  the  multifunction
screen,  with  blocks  which  become
increasingly closer to the vehicle.

When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
thirty centimetres, the audible signal be-
comes continuous and the "Danger" sym-
bol appears on the multifunction screen.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when

you exit reverse gear, the system be-

comes inactive.

Programming

You can activate or deactivate the
system by means of the multifunction

screen conﬁ guration menu. The system

state  is  memorised  when  switching  off
the ignition.
For  more  information  on  access  to  the
parking  assistance  menu,  refer  to  ve-

hicle conﬁ guration in the "Multifunction

screens" section corresponding to your
screen.
The system will be deactivated auto-
matically when towing a trailer or when

a bicycle carrier is ﬁ tted (vehicle ﬁ tted

with a towbar or bicycle carrier recom-

mended by PEUGEOT).

Operating faults

If there is an operating fault,
when reverse gear is engaged
this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel, accompa-

nied by an audible signal (short beep)

and  a  message  on  the  multifunction
screen.
In  bad  or  wintry  weather,  ensure  that
the  sensors  are not  covered  with mud,
frost or snow.

155

DRIVING

AUDIBLE AND VISUAL FRONT
AND REAR PARKING SENSORS

System consisting of four proximity

sensors, installed in the front and rear
bumpers.

It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,

tree, barrier...) located in front of and

behind the vehicle, except for obstacles

located immediately below the bumper.

The parking sensors are switched on :
-

by engaging reverse gear,

- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in

forward gear.

This is accompanied by an audible signal

and/or displaying of the vehicle on the

multifunction screen.

An object, such as a stake, a road-

works cone or any other similar

object may be detected at the start

of the manoeuvre but may no lon-
ger be detected when the vehicle
moves nearer to it.

The proximity information is indicated by:
-

an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle,

a  diagram  on  the  multifunction
screen,  with  blocks  which  move
closer to the vehicle.

The obstacle is located in relation to the
emission of the audible signal by the
speakers; front or rear and right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle

and the obstacle is less than approxi-

mately thirty centimetres, the audible

signal becomes continuous and/or the

"Danger" symbol appears, depending
on the multifunction screen version.

  The parking sensor system cannot,
in  any  circumstances,  replace  the
need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.

The parking sensors are  switched off :
   -   when you exit reverse gear,
  -

when the speed is higher than 6 mph

(10 km/h) in forward gear,

when the vehicle has been stationary
for more than three seconds in
forward gear.

156

DRIVING

Deactivation

Operating fault

The system will be deactivated au-
tomatically when a trailer is being
towed or when a bicycle carrier is

ﬁ tted (vehicle ﬁ tted with a towbar

or bicycle carrier recommended by

PEUGEOT).

Reactivation

 Press button A , the warning lamp

comes on, the system is fully
deactivated.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible

signal (long beep) indicates that

the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is being driven at

a speed below approximately 6 mph

(10 km/h), certain sources of noise

(motorcycles,

lorries,

pneumatic

drills...) may trigger the parking sen-

sor audible signals.

If an operating fault occurs, this
warning lamp is displayed on

the instrument panel and/or a

message appears on the mul-

tifunction screen, accompanied by an

audible signal (short beep), when re-

verse gear is engaged.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
