Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on manually: it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engagement of:
- fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
- second gear in sequential mode on the electronic gear control gearbox or automatic
gearbox,
- position A on the electronic gear control gearbox or D on the automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off manually or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on triggering of the ESP system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
Steering mounted controls
The controls of this system are grouped together on stalk A .
1. Cruise control mode selection dial
2. Speed programming / programmed value decrease button
3. Speed programming / programmed value increase button
4. Cruise control off / resume button
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.

Programming
Turn dial 1 to the "CRUISE" position:
the cruise control mode is selected but is not switched on (OFF).
Set the programmed speed by accelerating to the required speed, then press button 2 or 3 (e.g.: 70 mph (110 km/h)).
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3 :
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
Switch off the cruise control by pressing button 4 : the display confirms that it has been switched off (OFF).
Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4 again.
Exceeding the programmed speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results in flashing of this speed in the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed.
Return to normal driving
Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.
Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control malfunction, the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
When the cruise
control is switched on, be careful if you maintain the pressure on one of the programmed
speed changing buttons: this may result in a very rapid change in the speed of your
vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery roads or in heavy
traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- never V one mat on top of another.
