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 selects the most suitable programme from those in the memoryfor the current driving conditions. 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 gear- box changes down automatically, so
as to provide efficient engine braking.
Ð If you take your foot off the acceler- ator 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 gearbox automatically selects a special pro-gramme that enables the engine toreach its ideal temperature morequickly in order to decrease pollution.
Kickdown For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever, pressthe accelerator pedal down as far as it
will go. The gearbox will change downautomatically or stay in the gearselected, up to maximum enginespeed.Any disruption of the system is signalled by the simultane-ous flashing of the Sport andSnow lights on the instrument
panel. In such a case, the gearbox will
operate in downgrade mode. You mayfeel a substantial knock when reverseis selected from Pto Ror Nto R(with-
out any risk of damage to the gear-box). Do not exceed 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 engine running, apply the handbrakeand select 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 theengine is running.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CON-
TROL (ESP) These systems are linked and comple-
ment the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, by actingon the brakes of the drive wheels andon the engine. It also allows the direc-tional stability of the vehicle to beimproved on acceleration. If there is a variation between the tra- jectory followed by the vehicle and that
required by the driver, the ESP systemautomatically acts on the engine andthe brake of one or more wheels, inorder to put the vehicle back oncourse.Disarming the ASR/ESP systems In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground), it may be advis-
able to disarm the ASR and ESP sys-tems, so that the wheels can movefreely and regain grip.
Press the "ESP OFF" switch, locat-
ed under the steering wheel to the left.
The switch lights up and thewarning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems no
longer have any effect on theengine operation.
These are triggered again: automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
automatically above 50 km/h,
manually by pressing the switchagain.
Operation of the ASR and ESPsystems
When one of these two sys-tems is operating, this lightflashes. Operating check
When a malfunction of the sys-tems occurs, the switch lightflashes and the warning lightcomes on, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-
sage "ESP/ASR system not opera-
tional" on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to havethe system checked.
The ESP system offersexceptional safety in normaldriving, but this should notencourage the driver to takeextra risks or drive at high
speed. The correct functioning of this sys- tem depends on observation of themanufacturer's recommendationsregarding wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components and theelectronic components, as well asthe PEUGEOT assembly and opera-tion procedures. After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in the
fascia for the front passenger. They are
deployed simultaneously, except in caseswhere the passenger air bag is disarmed.
Front air bag fault If this warning light comes on, accompanied by an audiblesignal and the message
"Air
bag fault" on the multifunction dis-
play, contact a PEUGEOT dealer tohave the system checked.
AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupantsin the event of serious collisions.They work in conjunction with theforce-limiting seat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thresholdis reached, the air bags inflate instant-ly and protect the occupants of thevehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air bags deflate rapidly so that they do nothinder the visibility of the occupantsnor their exit if necessary from thevehicle. The air bags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are not seri-
ous, for which the seat belt is sufficient
to ensure maximum protection. Theseriousness of a collision depends onthe nature of the obstacle and thespeed of the vehicle at the moment ofthe collision. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. Disarming the passenger air bag*
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the passengerair bag when you install a rear-facingchild seat on the front passengerseat.
With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the passenger air bagdisarming switch 1, turn it to the
"OFF" position, then remove the
key keeping the slot in this position.
The air bag warning light on
the instrument panel is litthroughout the disarmingprocess.
* According to destination.

PUNCTURES Because this version does not pos- sess a spare wheel, you have twoaerosols for temporary tyre repairsstored in an insulated storage box

secured by a strap to the right-handside of the boot. Using a repair aerosol (See also the instructions on the aerosols).
If possible remove the foreign body which caused the puncture.
Position the wheel so that the valveis at the 2 o'clock or 10 o'clock posi-tion.
Shake the aerosol vigorously
before use. (In very cold weather,warm the aerosol for a few minutesin your hands).
In one hand hold the valve.
With the other, firmly push thespray end of the aerosol onto thevalve, keeping it centralised.
Maintain the pressure firmly for oneminute, then immediately drive at
moderate speed to the nearest
garage. Aersosols enable a tempo-rary repair to be carried out(maximum speed 50 mph(80 km/h)).
After use, it is necessary to repairthe tyre. Because the aerosols are pres- surised, they must not be exposed
to a temperature higher than 50 ¡C. Keep them away from heat in their insulated storage box.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
To preserve the paintwork and the plastic trim on your vehicle, we recom-
mend that you wash them regularly.
Ð by hand: there are no specific pre-
cautions to take;
Ð using an automatic car wash: repeated use of poorly maintained automatic car washes can lead to
the appearance of microscopicscratches which give the paintworka matt appearance (especially visi-ble on dark colours);
Ð using a high pressure washer: always follow the recommendationson the equipment (pressure andspraying distance). If there are damaged areas on the vehicle (painted bumpers, or head-lamps), it is not recommended todirect the high pressure jet onto
them. Wash these areas by hand. Also avoid the entry of water into the locks.
For all questions relating to the main-tenance of your vehicle, contact anapproved dealer who can advise youon quality products selected by ourdepartments. Ð Clean off bird droppings,
resinous deposits, tarstains and grease marksas soon as possible;
(these all contain sub-
stances which can cause seriousdamage to the paintwork).
Ð Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth, or detergent or solvent products toclean the double lens, complexsurface headlamps as they are fit-ted with polycarbonate glass cov-ered in a protective finish.
Ð Do not use petrol, oil or cloth stain removers to clean the bodyworkand plastic parts of your vehicle.
Ð To prevent the development of bodywork corrosion as a result ofaccidental damage (stone chips,scratches etc.), have them
repaired swiftly.
