stalk with automatic switching

on of the lights

Operating check

On vehicles fitted with this stalk: the

side lights and dipped beam head-

lamps switch on automatically if the

light is poor and when the windscreen

wipers operate continuously.

They switch off when the light be-

comes bright enough or the wind-

screen wipers are switched off.

In foggy weather or in snow, the

brightness sensor can detect suf-

ficient light, the lights will not

come on automatically.

This function is active when the vehi-

cle is supplied

- Place the key in the accessories

position (1st notch),

- Place the lights stalk in the

0 posi-

tion,

- Press the end of the lights stalk

Activation

The activation of the function is ac-

companied by an audible signal and

a message on the multifunction dis-

play.

In foggy weather, if the light

is not dim enough to result in

the automatic switching on of

the lights, it is your respon-

sibility to switch the dipped

headlamps on manually, as well as

the fog lamps.

When the driver uses the manual

lighting controls, the function is dis-

armed temporarily.

Do not cover the brightness sensor,

coupled with the rain sensor, located

in the centre of the windscreen, be-

hind the interior mirror. It is used for

automatic switching on of the lights.

Disarming

The disarmed function is accompa-

nied by an audible signal.

If the brightness sensor does not

function correctly, the lights come

on accompanied by an audible signal

and a message on the multifunction

display.

HANDBRAKE

Applying

When parking, pull the handbrake to

immobilise your vehicle.

Illumination of this warning

light and of the

STOP warn-

ing light, accompanied by

an audible signal (while the

vehicle is moving), indicates that the

handbrake is still applied or has not

been released fully.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING

SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE

ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE

DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)

The ABS, in conjunction with the

electronic brake force distribution,

increases the stability and mano-

evrability of your vehicle on braking,

in particular on poor or slippery road

surfaces.

Note: when changing wheels (tyres

and rims), make sure that these are

approved.

The anti-lock braking system comes

into operation automatically when

there is a risk of wheel lock.

When this warning light

comes on, connected to the

STOP and ABS warning

lights, it indicates that there

is a malfunction of the electronic

brake force distribution, which can

cause a loss of control of the vehicle

when braking.
Stop immediately.

In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT

dealer.

When this warning light

comes on, accompanied by a

buzzer, it indicates that there

is a malfunction of the ABS,

which can cause a loss of control of

the vehicle when braking.

Normal operation of the ABS may

make itself felt by slight vibrations

of the brake pedal.

In emergency braking, press

very firmly without releasing the

pressure.

Releasing

Pull the handle and press the button

to release the handbrake.

CRUISE CONTROL

Cruise control enables the vehicle

to maintain a steady speed pro-

grammed by the driver.

In order for it to be memorised, the

vehicle speed must be greater than

25 mph (40 km/h), and fourth gear at

least must be engaged.

Operation



Place switch

1 in the ON position.

A speed can be memorised.


Place switch

1 in the OFF position

to cancel.

Changing a memorised speed

To memorise a speed higher than the

previous one:


press button

3;



release it when you have reached

the required speed.

To memorise a speed lower than the

previous one:


press button

2;



release it when you have reached

the required speed.

On a steep descent, the

cruise control will not be able

to prevent the vehicle from

exceeding the programmed

speed.

The cruise control cannot, in any

case, take the place of observance of

the speed restrictions, or of the vigi-

lance or responsibility of the driver.

Do not use the cruise control on slip-

pery roads or in heavy traffic.

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.

Memorising a speed

As soon as you reach the chosen

speed, press button

memorises the speed.

Note: It is possible to accelerate and

drive momentarily at a speed greater

than the memorised speed. When

the accelerator pedal is released, the

vehicle will return to the memorised

speed.

Cancelling the memorised

speed

If you wish to cancel the memorised

speed:


press button

4 or the brake or

clutch pedal.

Recalling the memorised

speed

After cancellation, press button

CRUISE CONTROL

The cruise control has a display on

the instrument panel to indicate the

programmed reference speed.

It enables the vehicle to maintain the

reference speed programmed by the

driver.

In order for it to be programmed or

activated, the vehicle speed must be

greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) with

at least fourth gear engaged.

If the vehicle is fitted with a speed

limiter and cruise control, these func-

tions cannot be activated at the same

time.

The status of the function is displayed

on the instrument panel in accord-

ance with the following sequences:

Function selected,

displaying of the "Cruise

Control" symbol.

Function deactivated,

OFF (example at 66 mph

(107 km/h)).

Function activated

(example at 66 mph

(107 km/h)).
Vehicle speed above (e.g.

73 mph (118 km/h)),

the programmed speed is

displayed flashing.

Operating fault detected,

OFF - the dashes flash.

Selecting the function


Place the switch in the

CRUISE

lected but is not yet active and no

speed has been programmed.

First activation/programming a

speed


Reach the chosen speed by

pressing the accelerator.



Press the

SET - or SET + button.

This programmes the reference

speed and the vehicle will maintain

this speed.

Temporary exceeding of the

Driving

When changing the programmed ref-

erence speed by means of a main-

tained press, pay attention as the

speed can increase or decrease rap-

idly.

Do not use the cruise control on slip-

pery roads or in heavy traffic.

In the event of a steep slope, the

cruise control cannot prevent the

vehicle from exceeding the pro-

grammed speed.

In any event, the cruise control can-

not replace the need to observe the

speed limits, nor can it replace the

need for vigilance and responsibility

on the part of the driver.

To prevent the mat from becoming

trapped under the pedals:

- ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.

Deactivation (off)


SPEED LIMITER

This limiter indicates the status of

selection of the function on the in-

strument panel and displays the

programmed speed. The minimum

speed which can be programmed is

at least 18 mph (30 km/h).

It prevents exceeding of the speed

programmed by the driver, this func-

tion remains active regardless of any

action on the brake or clutch ped-

als. On the other hand, pressing the

accelerator pedal to the point of re-

sistance does not have any effect.

If the driver wishes to exceed the

programmed limit, he must force the

accelerator pedal travel beyond this

point of resistance.

Vehicles which are fitted with the limiter

function are also fitted with the cruise

control function but these two functions

cannot be activated at the same time.
The operating actions must be

carried out when stationary, with

the engine running, orwith the

vehicle moving.

The status of the function is displayed

on the instrument panel in accordance

with the following sequences:

Function selected,
displaying of the "Speed

Limiter" symbol.

Function deactivated,

last programmed speed - OFF

(example at 66 mph (107 km/h)).

Function activated

(example at 66 mph

(107 km/h)).
Vehicle speed above 66 mph

(107 km/h),

the programmed speed is

displayed flashing.

Operating fault detected,

OFF - the dashes flash.

Selecting the function


Place the dial in the

LIMIT posi-

tion. The limiter is selected but

is not yet active. The display in-

dicates dashes or the last pro-

grammed speed.

Programming a speed

A speed can be programmed without

activating the limiter but with the en-

gine running.


A brief or extended press of the

SET - button decreases the speed.



A brief or extended press of

the

SET + button increases the

speed.

Activation/deactivation (off)

When you have programmed your

speed, pressing this button once acti-

vates the limiter and the programmed

speed is displayed, pressing the but-

ton again deactivates it (OFF).
