CONTROLLED SUSPENSION

Manual selection of the SPORT
position

The  suspension  adapts  automatically
and instantly to different driving styles
and  road  characteristics,  improving
the  comfort  of  the  occupants  and  the
vehicle's road holding capabilities. The
suspension favours smooth shock ab-
sorption,  ensuring  a  comfortable  ride,
but  as  soon  as  conditions  demand  a
change  (sporty  driving,  tight  bends,
avoidance action, etc.) it automatically

selects ﬁ rmer shock absorption, guar-

anteeing optimum road holding.

control,  which  does  not  act  on
the  brakes,  is  not  able  to  pre-
vent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
In  no  circumstances  does  the

cruise control replace the requirement to
respect speed limits, nor does it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.
We recommend that your feet remain
near the pedals.

Cruise control function

This  enables  the  vehicle  to  maintain
a  steady  speed  programmed  by  the
driver
In  order  for  it  to  be  memorised,  the
vehicle  speed  must  be  greater  than
25  mph  (40  km/h)  with  at  least  fourth
gear  engaged  (second  gear  for  the
automatic  gearbox),   with  the  engine
running .

DRIVING

pressing this button again deactivates it.
When the limiter is active, the display
indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):

On  a  steep  descent  or  if  the
driver accelerates sharply, the
speed  limiter,  which  does  not
act  on  the  brakes,  is  not  able

to prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
In  no  circumstances  does  the  speed
limiter  replace  the  requirement  to  re-
spect speed limits, nor does it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibi-
lity on the part of the driver.
The  driver  must  remain  vigilant  and
stay in complete control of his vehicle.

The operations must be car-
ried out with the engine run-
ning.

Exceeding the programmed speed

Additional pressing of the accelera-
tor to exceed the programmed speed
will have no effect unless the pedal is

pressed ﬁ rmly (passing the point of

resistance ).
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and displays the programmed speed
(e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):

Note:

the speed also ﬂ ashes

when  the  speed  limiter  can-
not  prevent  the  vehicle  from
exceeding  the  programmed

speed  (on  a  steep  descent  or  in  the
event of sharp acceleration).
To  re-activate  the  limiter,  release  the
accelerator  to  slow  down  to  a  speed
below the programmed speed.

Operating check

In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the memorised speed is erased, the

dashes ﬂ ash for a few seconds:

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.

To prevent the mat from becom-
ing caught under the pedals:
-

ensure that the mat is po-
sitioned correctly,

- never ﬁ t one mat on top of

another.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION

Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-
ing driving and trigger a warning in the
event of malfunction.

Deﬂ ated tyre

Instrument panel display warn-
ing lamp.

This  is  accompanied  by  the  audible
signal  and  the  message  on  the  mul-
tifunction screen identifying the wheel
concerned.
If  this  warning  lamp  comes  on,  have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.

Puncture

This warning lamp, accompanied by
the audible signal and the message on
the multifunction screen identifying the
wheel concerned, is followed by illumi-
nation of the 'STOP' warning lamp.

Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,
avoiding any sudden movement of the
steering wheel and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-

tured or very deﬂ ated tyre), and have

the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.

Sensor(s) not detected or faulty

Instrument panel screen warn-
ing lamp.

All repairs and changing of

tyres on a wheel ﬁ tted with this

system must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer.

If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle, you must have the system re-
initialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.

The tyre under-inﬂ ation detection sys-

tem is an aid to driving which does not
replace  the  need  for  the  driver  to  be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This  system  does  not  eliminate  the
need  to  have  the  tyre  pressures
checked  regularly  (see  the  label  on
the  door  pillar)  to  ensure  that  the  op-
timum  dynamic  performance  of  the
vehicle is maintained and prevent pre-
mature  wear  of  the  tyres,  particularly
in  arduous  driving  conditions  (heavy
load, high speed).
The  tyre  pressures  must  be  checked
cold,  at  least  once  a  month.  Remem-
ber to check the pressure of the spare
wheel.

The tyre under-inﬂ ation detection sys-

tem may experience temporary interfer-
ence due to electromagnetic emissions
on a frequency close to that used by the
system.

  Note :  this  message  is  also
displayed  when  one  of  the
wheels  is  away  from  the  ve-
hicle (being repaired) or when

one or more wheels without a sensor

are ﬁ tted.

Instrument panel display warn-
ing lamp.

This  is  accompanied  by  the  audible
signal  and  the  message  on  the  mul-
tifunction  screen  which  indicates  that

under-inﬂ ation detection is absent

from one (or several) wheel(s) or that
there is a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE
FRONT AND REAR PARKING
SENSORS

To ensure optimum operation,
in  bad  weather  or  in  winter,
ensure  that  the  sensors  are
not covered with mud, frost or
snow.

This system consists of proximity
sensors:
-

four in the front bumper,

and
-

four in the rear bumper.

Detection zone

The system is deactivated if
the vehicle is stationary for
more than 3 seconds.

Detection

The system is activated when:
-

reverse gear is engaged,

the speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h)
in forward gear.

It is accompanied by an audible signal
and/or displaying of the vehicle on the
multifunction screen.

It  detects  any  obstacle  (person,  ve-
hicle, tree, gate, etc.) in front of or be-
hind  the  vehicle.  However,  it  cannot
detect obstacles located directly under
the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, cone or any
other  similar  object  may  be  detected
at the beginning of the manoeuvre but
may  no  longer  be  detected  when  the
vehicle comes close to it.

DRIVING

104

Deactivation

Press button A to deactivate the sys-
tem (child asleep in the rear...). The in-
dicator lamp on the button comes on.

   Note:  this function will be de-
activated  automatically  when
a  trailer  is  being  towed  (vehi-

cle ﬁ tted with a towbar recom-

mended by PEUGEOT).

If  there  is  an  operating  fault,
when  reverse  gear  is  en-
gaged,  the  indicator  lamp

ﬂ ashes, accompanied by an

audible signal and a message on the
multifunction screen.

Reactivation

Press button A again to reactivate the
system. The indicator lamp on the but-
ton is switched off.

The proximity of the obstacle is indi-
cated by:
-

an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle ap-
proaches the obstacle,

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

The  obstacle  is  located  in  relation  to
the  emission  of  the  audible  signal  by
the speakers; that is, front or rear and
right or left.
When  the  distance  between  the  ve-
hicle  and  the  obstacle  is  less  than
approximately  thirty  centimetres,  the
audible  signal  becomes  continuous
and/or  the  "Danger"  symbol  appears
on the multifunction screen.
The system becomes inactive again:
   -

when you exit reverse gear,

when the speed is above 6 mph
(10 km/h),

at the end of the manoeuvre, when
stationary, after a few seconds
(front parking sensors only).
