Slow continuous wiping: 2 notches downwards.

Do not cover the rain sensor, located at
the top centre of the windscreen.

Screenwash and headlamp wash

Pull the wiper control stalk towards you,
the screenwash is accompanied by a timed
operation of the wipers.

Depending on version, the headlamp wash is
coupled with the screenwash, it is triggered if
the dipped beam headlamps are on.

Windscreen wipers

Wiping is only active when the ignition key is
in the runnInG position.

the control stalk has five different positions:

Intermittent wiping: 1 notch downwards.

In this position, four wiping frequencies can
be selected by turning the ring:

- very slow frequency

- slow frequency

- standard frequency,

- fast frequency.

Automatic rain sensitive windscreen

If your vehicle is fitted with this system, the
wiping speed is adapted automatically to the
intensity of the rainfall.

Automatic wiping: 1 notch downwards.
this is confirmed by one wipe. Must
be reactivated each time the ignition is
switched on.

In this position, the sensitivity of the rain
sensor can be increased by turning the ring.

Good practice

Check that the windscreen wiper blades can
operate freely when using the wipers in icy
weather.

use the step in the front bumper, to remove
any accumulation of snow at the base of the
windscreen and on the blades.

You can change the wiper blades.

Refer to the "Quick help - Worn wiper

In order to be programmed or activated,
the vehicle speed must be greater than
approximately 18 mph (30 km/h), with 2nd gear

Good practice

When changing the programmed reference

take care as the speed may increase or
decrease rapidly.

Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.

On a steep gradient, the cruise control will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from

the cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to comply
with speed limits or vigilance on the part of

It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.

to prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedals:

ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

never fit one mat on top of another.

there are two methods of memorising a
speed higher than the previous one:

Without using the accelerator:

Move the switch up (+).

A brief press increases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).

A maintained press increases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).

using the accelerator:

exceed the memorised speed until the
speed required is reached,

move the switch up (+) or down (-).

to memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:

move the switch down (-).

A brief press decreases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).

A maintained press decreases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).

speed

Switching the system off

Place the ring in the central o position
or switch off the ignition to switch the
system off.

When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
longer memorises a speed.

operating fault

In the event of a fault, the system
switches off and the indicator
goes off. Contact a PeugeOt
dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.

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 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.

does not wish to exceed".

this selection is made with the vehicle
stationary and the engine running or with the
vehicle moving and 2

gear or higher engaged.

the lowest speed that 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.

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.

the operating actions may be carried out
with the vehicle stationary and the engine
running, or with the vehicle moving.

this speed limiter shows the status of the
system and the programmed speed in the

move the switch up (+).

A brief press increases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).

A maintained press increases the speed in

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.

If the limiter is unable to prevent an increase
in the speed of the vehicle because of the
profile of the road or when going down a
step hill, the programmed speed may be
exceeded.

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 system off

Place the ring in the central o position
or switch off the ignition to switch the
system off.

the last programmed speed remains in the
memory.

operating fault

the programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by dashes.

Contact a PeugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

Good practice

In any event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance 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

If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
speed of your vehicle can be limited to a
fixed speed of approximately 55 mph
(90 km/h) or 60 mph (100 km/h).

A label in the passenger compartment
indicates this maximum speed.

the fixed speed limiter is not a function
of the cruise control type. It cannot be
activated or deactivated by the driver while
driving.

the maximum speed set in the factory

In order to be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior temperature
remains high after a prolonged period
parked in the sun, first ventilate the
passenger compartment for a few minutes.

For even air distribution, ensure that the
exterior air intake grille located at the base
of the windscreen, the side and central
vents, the air outlets on the floor and the air
extractor at the rear are not obstructed.

the air conditioning is useful in all seasons
as it eliminates condensation and air
humidity.

Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,

to keep it in good working order.

Have the filter elements (air filter and
passenger compartment filter) replaced
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
have them replaced twice as often.

It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under the
vehicle when parked.

If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and have it checked by a
PeugeOt dealer or a qualified workshop.

"Leave them open"

For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are: 4 adjustable central vents, of
which 2 can be directed sideways (right
or left) towards the top of the body and
4 side vents which can be directed towards
the passengers. the air vents directed
