and the indicator lamps.

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.

Selecting the function

 Place switch 1 in the CRUISE po-

sition. The cruise control is not
yet active and no speed has been
memorised. The display indicates:

Switching the function off

 Place switch 1 in position 0 or

LIMIT to switch the system off.

Note: It is possible to acce-
lerate and drive momentarily
at a speed greater than the
memorised speed. The value

memorised fl ashes. When the acce-

lerator 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. The display indicates
(e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):

Activation/memorising a speed

As soon as you reach the chosen
speed, press button 2 or 3 . This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically. The display
indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):

On a steep descent, the cruise
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

99

Note: the speed memorised
is cancelled automatically if
the vehicle speed is less than
25 mph (40 km/h), or if the

manual gearbox is in a gear lower than
fourth (second gear for the automatic
gearbox) or if the ESP is activated.

Operating check

In the event of a cruise control malfunc-
tion, the memorised speed is erased,

the dashes fl ash for a few seconds:

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.

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

traffi c.

Changing a memorised speed

To memorise a speed higher than the
previous one, there are two options:
Without using the accelerator:
 press button 3 ;
Using the accelerator:
 exceed the memorised speed until

the required speed is reached,

 press button 2 or 3 .

Memorising a speed

A speed can be memorised without
activation of the limiter.
Pressing buttons 2 and 3 decreases or
increases the speed.
Short press: +/- 1 mph (1 km/h)
Long press: +/- 5 mph (5 km/h)
Maintained press: continuous increase
or decrease of the value in steps of
5 mph (5 km/h).

Activation/deactivation of the limiter

Pressing button 4 activates the limiter,
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.

Speed limiter function

This prevents the vehicle speed ex-
ceeding the speed programmed by
the driver (minimum speed of 18 mph
(30 km/h)).

DRIVING

101

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.

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).

Never fi ll past this mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil is
prohibited.

Oil level

 Check the level regularly and top

up between changes.

Check the level with the vehicle level,
the engine having been off for more
than 15 minutes, using the dipstick.

Oil change

It is essential that this is carried out at

the intervals specifi ed and the viscosity

of the oil chosen must meet the require-
ments laid down in the manufacturer's
servicing schedule. Ask for advice from
the PEUGEOT dealer network.
Note : avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin. Empty
the used oil into the containers provid-
ed for this purpose in the PEUGEOT

CHECKS

At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Have the fi lter elements

replaced regularly. If you
drive in dusty conditions,
change them twice as often.

Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

It is essential that the particle emission

fi lter is maintained in accordance with

the manufacturer's servicing schedule,
by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Note : following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, in exceptional circum-
stances, notice emissions of water va-
pour at the exhaust on acceleration.
This does not have any effect on the
performance of the vehicle or the en-
vironment.

On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-

ticle emission fi lter, the cooling fan may

operate after the vehicle has stopped,
even when the engine is cold.

Where the parking brake trav-
el is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance of
the system, the parking brake
should be adjusted.
