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.

Checking levels Engine Oil level Carry out this check regularly and top up between oil changes
(the
maximum consumption is 0.5 litre per
600 miles (1000 km)). The check mustbe carried out with the vehicle leveland the engine cold.
There are two levelmarks on the dips-tick: A= maximum.
B = minimum. Viscosity grade selectionThe oil selected must always meet the
manufacturerÕs requirements. Oil filter Change the cartridge regularly in accordance with the recommenda-tions of the servicing schedule. Used oil
Avoid any prolonged contact of used oil with the skin. Do not discard used oil down drains or on the ground.
To maintain the reliability of the engines and emission control sys-tems, the use of additives in the oil isprohibited. Brake fluid reservoir
- The level must always be above the
DANGER mark on the tank.
- In the event of a significant drop in the level, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
immediately. Fluid change
- Always to be carried out at the inter-
vals given in the manufacturer's ser- vicing schedule.
- Use fluids approved by the manu- facturer which comply with DOT4.
Coolant reservoir Use a coolant approved by the manu-
facturer. When the engine is warm, the coolant temperature is controlled by the engi-
ne fan. As this fan can operate with theignition key removed and because thecooling circuit is pressurised, wait at
least an hour after switching off theengine before carrying out any work. In the event of a breakdown and to avoid any risk of burns, unscrew thecap two turns to let the pressure drop.When the pressure has dropped,remove the cap and top up the level.
Oil change: in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
- Dipstick: never exceed the maxi- mum mark A.
- Instrument dial gauge.

Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine
cold. The level should always beabove the MINI mark, close to theMAXI mark.
Windscreen and headlamp wash reservoir* For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you useproducts approved by PEUGEOT(capacity 2.8 litres or 6.6 litres withheadlamp wash). Battery
At the start of winter, have your batte-
ry checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Air filter Regular replacement of the filter ele- ment is essential.
If you drive in very
dusty conditions, change it twice asoften. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicleswhich are used in town, for short jour-neys. It may be necessary to checkthe thickness of the pads even bet-ween services.
* According to specification. Manual gearbox This does not need an oil change. Check the level according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule. Autoadaptive automatic gearbox This does not need an oil change: have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule.Only use products appro-
ved by Automobiles
PEUGEOT.
To ensure best performan-
ce from components as important as the power steering and the bra-king system, PEUGEOTselects and offers quite specificproducts.
