Steering mounted controls

CRUISE CONTROL

"This is the speed at which the driver wishes to

travel".

This aid to driving in free-ﬂowing trafﬁc conditions

enables the vehicle to maintain a constant

speed programmed by the driver, except when a

considerable load is carried on a steep gradient.

In order to be programmed or activated,

the vehicle speed must be greater than

approximately 25 mph (40 km/h), with at least

4th gear engaged.

If your vehicle is fitted with cruise control,

this is displayed on the instrument panel by

an indicator located in the rev counter.

Function selected.

Function deactivated.

Steering mounted controls

Temporarily exceeding the

programmed speed

When the cruise control is active, it is still

possible to exceed the programmed speed

by pressing the accelerator pedal

(to overtake another vehicle for example).

Selecting the function - ON

Switching off/deactivating the function

When the selection is

set to ON, this switches

the function on.

Press the brake or clutch pedal or place

the dial in the OFF position, the indicator is

switched off.

Changing the programmed speed while

the cruise control is in operation

If your vehicle is fitted

with this screen, a message confirms the

action.

You can:

If the ESP or ASR comes into operation,

the cruise control function is deactivated

temporarily.

-

increase the speed in steps, by means

of brief presses, or continuously by

pressing and holding the control

upwards (+ sign),

Programming a speed

Accelerate to the required speed, with 4th or

5th gear engaged.

Restore - RES

Move the control upwards (+), for

approximately one second, to store this

speed.

To restore the vehicle's

programmed speed (for example

after pressing the brake or clutch

pedal), gradually return to the chosen speed

and press RES.

Release the pressure on the accelerator

pedal, the vehicle will maintain this speed.

-

decrease the speed continuously

by pressing and holding the control

downwards (- sign).

The indicator comes on, the cruise control

function is restored.

Cancelling the programmed speed

Good practice

When the vehicle stops, after the ignition is

switched off, the system no longer stores

any speed.

When changing the programmed reference

speed by pressing and holding the control,

take care as the speed may increase or

decrease rapidly.

Do not use the cruise control on slippery

roads or in heavy traffic.

Operating fault

On a steep gradient, the cruise control will

not be able to prevent the vehicle from

exceeding the programmed speed.

In the event of a malfunction, the function is

switched off and the indicator switches off.

The cruise control cannot, in any

circumstances, replace the need to comply

with speed limits nor can it replace the need

for vigilance and responsibility on the part

of driver.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the

system checked.

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.

The ventilation outlets located at the base

of the windscreen and the side vents for the

side windows increase the effectiveness

of the demisting and defrosting. Do not

obstruct these air outlets.

For faster and more effective

demisting and defrosting of the

windscreen:

-

increase the air flow setting,

This function switches off automatically to

prevent excessive energy consumption. It

stops when the engine is switched off but

resumes when the engine is started again.

The pollen filter continuously and effectively

filters dust.

-

move the exterior air intake

control temporarily to air

recirculation.

Air recirculation (which can be activated by

the driver or the passenger) isolates the

passenger compartment from the exterior

atmosphere. However, this position should

only be used temporarily, normal use is to

drive with the control positioned with the

exterior air intake open.

Pressing this button switches the function off.

Returning to the exterior air

intake position permits renewal

of the air in the passenger

compartment.

Ventilation

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 contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

For even air distribution, ensure that the

exterior air intake grille located at the base

of the windscreen is not obstructed and that

the side and central vents, the air outlets on

the floor and the air extractor at the rear are

open.

CORRECT USE OF THE AIR

CONDITIONING

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

VENTS

"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

towards the floor of the vehicle complete

the equipment.

The air conditioning is useful in all seasons as

it eliminates condensation and air humidity.
