Handbrake and low brake fluid level or fault inElectronic Brake ForceDistribution systemwarning light
Indicates either:
- that the handbrake is on or has not been released correctly,
- an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the light remains lit even with the handbrake released),
- a fault in the Electronic Brake Force Distribution system if lit simulta-
neously with the ABS warning light.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Instruments and controls
A permantly lit warning light or one that flashes with the engine run-ning, indicates an operating fault inthe relevant unit. Some warninglights may be accompanied by anaudible signal and a message onthe multifunction screen. Do notignore this warning: contact a PEU-GEOT dealer as soon as possible.
If the Central STOP warning lightcomes on when you are driving,stop immediately where it is safe todo so.

to indicate that the roof openingoperation is complete.
When carrying out this manoeuvre, the front windows and then the rear
quarter panel windows lower, the roofcover opens, the roof folds up and
stores itself in the boot. Then the roofcover closes and the detachable shelfpositions itself. Note: The control buttons for the win-
dows become operational again at the end of the roof operation.Operating hitch: If the operation is
interrupted, a continuous audible sig- nal sounds: Release switch 3, then pull it again
to finish opening the roof.
Note: If the malfunction persists, con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.
After rain or washing the vehicle, it is advisable to wait for the roof todry before opening it.

Closing the roof
With the vehicle stationary and
the handbrake applied, turn the ignition key to position M.
Press switch 3 until you hear a
signal to indicate that the roof clo-sing operation is complete.
When carrying out this operation, thefront windows and then the rear quar-ter panel windows open, the detacha-ble parcel shelf folds up, the roof coveropens, the roofs unfolds and positionsitself, then the roof cover closes again. Lock the two hooks 2.
Note: The control buttons for the win-
dows become operational again at the end of the roof operation. Operating hitch : If the operation is
interrupted, a continuous audible signal sounds: Release switch 3, then press it
again to finish closing the roof.
If the problem persists, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the systemchecked. When the vehicle is moving, if a conti-nuous audible signal can be heard,this means that the roof or the roof
cover, or both, are not locked:
Stop the vehicle and apply the handbrake,
Open the roof and close it again
completely, in accordance with theprocedure.
If the problem persists, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the systemchecked.The roof must not be oper- ated when a loaded lug-gage carrier is fitted to theboot lid.

injury, ensure that there is no-onein the proximity of the movingparts.
In the event of danger, release the control knob, the operation
will stop instantly. Never release button 3 for any
length of time, nor switch off theignition, when the roof is in anintermediate position (neithercompletely open nor completelyclosed).
In the case of an electric or hydraulic malfunction of the roof, it is possible
to close the roof manually. When the side windows no longer
open completely, it is impossible tooperate the roof; however it is possi-ble to close it by using a special pro-cedure. Please consult the breakdown pro- cedure described at the end of thishandbook.

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 stationary.
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.
