CHILD SEATS Although one of PEUGEOT's main concerns when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these precautions:
Ð All children under the age of 10 must travel in a special approved child seat*, adapted to their weight, in a seat fitted with
a
seat belt.
Ð Front passenger seat*: children under the age of 10 must not travel in the forwards facing position**.The rearwards facing position is permitted. In this position, it is compulsory to disarm the passenger air bag.
After carrying out numerous tests, PEUGEOT recommends the following systems: Up to 18 months (to 29 lbs or 13 kg) "Britax Babysure": is installed with its back to the engine in the front or in the rear using a three-point seat belt. In the front, the passenger seat must be in the "mid-way"position on the slide.
From 9 months to 3 or 4 years (20 to 40 lbs or 9 to 18 kg) "Ršmer Prince": is fitted to the rear using a three-point seat belt. For the safety of your child, the seat and the restraining cushion must never be separated.
From 3 to 6 years (33 to 55 lbs or 15 to 25 kg) "Ršmer Vario": is fitted to the rear with a three-point seat belt.

Make a careful note of the
number on each key. Thekey number is coded on the
label attached to the key.
If the keys are lost, your PEUGEOT deal-er can rapidly supply you with new keys. The high frequency remote control is a high-performance system which has apowerful beam. Do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that itmay unlock your vehicle, without you
being aware of it. The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition, evenwhen the ignition is switched off,except for reprogramming. As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the ignition key when youleave the vehicle, even for a short time. Do not repeatedly press the button of your remote control out of range of
your vehicle. You risk causing it not towork and the remote control wouldhave to be reprogrammed. When purchasing a second-hand vehi- cle:
Ð ensure that you are given the confi- dential card;
Ð have the key codes memorised by a PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that the keys in your possession are the onlyones which can start the vehicle.
Do not make any modifications to theelectronic engine immobiliser system.
Confidential card The confidential card contains the identification code necessary for any
work carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer
on the system. This code is hidden bya film, which should be removed only if
necessary. Keep your card in a safe place, never inside the vehicle.ELECTRONIC ENGINE IMMOBILISER This locks the engine management system as soon as the ignition has
been switched off and therefore pre-vents starting of the vehicle by anyone
who does not have the key. The ignition key has an electronic chip which has a special code. When theignition is switched on, the code isrecognised and starting is possible. If the system does not function
correctly,
you are warned by an audi-
ble signal and a message on the mul-
tifunction display. In this case, the vehicle will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

Nor P. Press the brake to exit
position P. Stopped or parked Always leave the lever in position Pwhen you get out of your vehicle.
If not, a buzzer will sound when you open the driver's door. Positions of the selector lever These positions are displayed on the instrument panel. P. Park: use with the handbrake.
R. Reverse: this must only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary, engine at idle.
N. Neutral: if Nis engaged by mistake while the car is moving, allow the engine to
return to idle before engaging a new forward gear.
D. Drive: in this position, the four gears change automatically. The gear change
points vary depending on the programme selected.
3. Automatic changing of the first three gears only. Select this position when you notice frequent changes between third and fourth gear (town driving or on winding roads).

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.
