Oil level gauge fault The 6 segments flash; they indicate a fault in the oil level gauge. There is a risk the engine will be damaged.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil temperature indicator light When the engine is running, it indicates the oil temperature:
- When the needle is in zone

''Isofix'' mountings*
Available on the front passenger seat, the Isofix mountings allow for fitting of aspecial child seat
, sold by PEUGEOT
dealers. The locks incorporated in the child seat fit onto the Isofix mountings and ensuresafe, reliable and fast assembly
.
In the front, the child seat must be fit-
ted in the "rear facing" position for chil-dren weighing less than 29lbs (13 kg):front seat as far forward as possibleso that the body of the child seat is incontact with or as close as possible to
the instrument panel. This positionthus limits movement of the child seatin the event of an accident. In exceptional cases, the child seat may be fitted in the 'forwards facing'position if the rear seats are alreadyoccupied by other children. In thiscase, use the Isofix mountings, thestrap and the seat belt and adjust thefront passenger seat to the "mid-tra-vel" position. In both cases it is imperative to disarm the passenger air bag. The special approved child seat is the
Isofix KIDDY seat. It can be used "rearfacing" from birth to 29 lbs (13 kg)and "forwards facing" from 20 to 40 lbs(9 to 18 kg). This seat can also be used on seats not fitted with Isofix mountings: buck-ling of the three-point seat belt is then
compulsory. Follow the instructions for fitting the child seat given in the instruc-tion booklet.

Seat belts
To lock the seat belts Pull the strap, then insert the buckle into the stalk.Pre-tensioning and force-limitingfront seat belts Safety in the event of a frontal impact has been improved by the introductionof pre-tensioning and force-limitingfront seat belts. Depending on theseriousness of the impact, the pre-ten-sioning system instantly tightens theseat belts firmly against the body ofthe occupant. The pre-tensioning seat belts are armed when the ignition is on. The force-limiting device reduces the pressure of the seat belt against theoccupant's body in the event of anaccident. Rear seat belts The rear seats are fitted with two three-point inertia reel seatbelts.
To be effective, a seat belt must be tightened asclose to the body as pos-sible.
Depending on the nature and theseriousness of the impact, the pre-tensioners may be triggeredbefore and independently of trig-gering of the air bags. In all cases, the air bag warning light on the instrument panelcomes on. Following a collision, have the sys- tem checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer. The system has been designed to be fully operational for ten years. Have it replaced after this period.

Operating programmes
You have a choice of three operating pro- grammes:
Ð Autoadaptive (normal).
Ð Sport.
Ð Snow.One press on button
Aor Bwill select
Sport or Snow respectively. The selec- tion is displayed on the instrumentpanel. Pressing the button a secondtime will return to the autoadaptive(normal) programme. Autoadaptive programme (normal) Gear changes are carried out on the basis of various parameters, such as:
Ð driving style,
Ð road characteristics,
Ð vehicle load.The gearbox continuously scans the
different programmes in the memoryand selects the one most suitable forthe driving conditions at any givenmoment. Sport programme The Sport programme automatically favours more dynamic driving. Snow Programme In position
D, the Snow programme
provides smooth driving suited to slip- pery roads in order to improve traction
and stability. Starting is in 2nd gear
and changing down is at low enginespeeds. Special operating features
Ð During prolonged braking, the gearbox changes down automatically, so as to
provide efficient engine braking.
Ð If you take your foot off the accele- rator suddenly (when you are takenby surprise, for example), the gear-box will not change up, so as to
improve safety.
Ð When the engine is cold, the gear- box automatically selects a specialprogramme that enables the engineto reach its ideal temperature more quickly in order to decrease pollu-tion.
Kickdown For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever, press theaccelerator pedal down as far as it will go.The gearbox will change down automati-cally or stay in the gear selected, up tomaximum engine speed.Any disruption of the system is signalled by the simulta-neous flashing of the Sportand Snow lights on the ins-
trument panel. In such a case, thegearbox will operate in downgrade
mode. You may feel a substantialknock when reverse is selected from P
to Ror Nto R(without any risk of
damage to the gearbox). Do not exceed 60 m.p.h. (100km/h).Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without
delay. When the engine is idling with the car
in gear, the car will move even withoutyou accelerating. Do not accelerate while a gear is being selected, when the vehicle is stationa-
ry.
When stationary, have your foot on the
brake pedal when selecting a gear. Do not accelerate in gear with the brakes on. If work needs to be done with the engi- ne running, apply the handbrake andselect position P.
Do not change down to brake on slip-pery roads. Never select position Nwhen the
vehicle is moving.Never engage Por Rif the vehicle is
not stationary.Do not leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised when the engineis running.
