Hello all!

I'm soon to be a new 208 owner (1.2 Active)! Just waiting for it to be delivered to the dealer!

I have a question for current owners though! When I test drove one, the accelerator kind of "clicked" just before it was pressed all the way to the floor. So it'd go in smoothly, then there'd be a bit of resistance at a certain point, and then it'd click in place to be fully pressed.

I asked the sales person what it was and he said he wasn't sure.

Is that a fault I should be watching out for or is it a special function on all of them? What's the point of it? The car was a manual so I don't think it had anything to do with the "kick down" thing you get in automatics.

Hi....I've got a 1.2 and not had any trouble with accelerator or clicks...

I have the click also. It has something to do with cruise control, but I can't remember exactly what. I know the dealer explained it to me, but as I loathe cruise control i wasn't paying too much attention.

I'll see if I can find out.

Ah that's good to know! At least I won't be thinking the car is faulty when I pick it up now!

Thanks for the responses!

The click is to override the cruise control or speed limiter in an emergency situation or if you just want to overtake someone etc.

Try not flooring the accelerator and you won't notice the click !
