Operating limits  
Never use the system in the following  
situations:  
Cruise control - Specific  
recommendations  
Release the accelerator pedal to return to  
below the speed setting.  
In an urban area with the risk of  
pedestrians crossing the road.  
The cruise control function does not  
guarantee compliance with the maximum  
authorised speed and the safety distance  
between vehicles, the driver remains  
responsible for their driving.  
In the interest of public safety, only use cruise  
control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles  
to drive at a steady speed and maintain an  
adequate safety distance.  
Remain vigilant while cruise control is  
activated. If you press and hold one of  
the speed setting modification buttons, your  
vehicle may change speed very abruptly.  
When descending a steep hill, the cruise  
control system cannot prevent the vehicle  
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if  
necessary to control the vehicle speed.  
On steep climbs or when towing, the set  
speed may not be reached or maintained.  
When exceeding the speed is not due to the  
driver's action (e.g. in case of a steep slope), an  
audible signal is triggered immediately.  
In heavy traffic (except versions with the  
Stop & Go function).  
On a steep descent or in the event of  
6 sharp acceleration, the speed limiter  
will not be able to prevent the vehicle from  
exceeding the speed setting.  
If necessary, apply the brakes to control your  
vehicle’s speed.  
On winding or steep roads.  
On slippery or flooded roads.  
In poor weather conditions.  
In the event of restricted visibility for the  
driver.  
When the vehicle speed returns to the speed  
setting level, the speed limiter operates again:  
the speed setting display becomes fixed again.  
Driving on a speed circuit.  
Driving on a rolling road.  
When using a ‘space-saver’ type spare  
wheel.  
Off  
When using snow chains or non-slip  
covers.  
Press 1-LIMIT: the speed limiter information  
display disappears.  
Malfunction

Cruise control  
In the event of a malfunction, dashes are  
displayed flashing and then fixed instead of the  
speed setting.  
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
You can temporarily exceed the speed  
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal  
(the pause signal will appear). To return to  
the speed setting, press SET+/SET-, the set  
speed will be equal to the current vehicle  
speed (when the set speed is reached again,  
the pause signal disappears).  
For more information, refer to the General  
recommendations on the use of driving  
and manoeuvring aids and the Specific  
recommendations on cruise control.  
This system automatically maintains  
the vehicle’s speed at the value  
programmed by the driver (speed

accelerator pedal.  
Cruise control is switched on manually.
