AUTOMATIC AUTOADAPTIVE GEARBOX Moving Off
To move off, move the selector lever to position
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).
2. Automatic changing of the first two gears only. This position is particularly suitable for mountain roads, when going uphill (to make the best use of the engine's power) and downhill (engine braking).

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 instru-
ment panel. In such a case, the gear-box will operate in downgrade mode.
You may feel a substantial knock whenreverse is selected from Pto Ror Nto
R (without any risk of damage to the
gearbox). 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.

The normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibra-tions of the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing thepressure.
THE ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
The ABS system with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBFD) increasesthe stability and manoeuvrabilty ofyour vehicle, particularly on poor orslippery road surfaces. Note:
when replacing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that they are approved. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
Lighting of this warninglamp, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-sage "Braking fault" on the
multifunction display, indicates amalfunction of the electronic brakeforce distribution which could result in
loss of control of the vehicle whenbraking.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
HANDBRAKE Applying When parking, pull the handbrake to immobilise your vehicle. Releasing Pull the handle and press the button to release the handbrake.
Illumination of this warninglight and of the STOPwarning
light, accompanied by anaudible signal (at 10 km/h)
and the message "handbrake on"on
the multifunction display, indicates thatthe handbrake is still applied or has
not been released fully. EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, thus reducingthe stopping distance. It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The effectof this is a reduction in the resistanceof the pedal and an increase in braking
efficiency.

CHANGING A WHEEL
Park the vehicle on level, stable
ground which is not slippery.
Apply the handbrake, engage first
gear or reverse (position Pon the
automatic gearbox) and switch offthe ignition.
Chock the rear of the wheel withshim 2diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed.
Tools for changing a wheel 1 - Wheelbrace fitted to the lining of the boot on the rear right side.
2 - Shim stored in the jack bag.
3 - Jack (in a bag secured by two straps,on the right-hand side of the boot).
4 - Tool for removing wheel bolt trims(located on the boot rear right innerpanel). Removing the wheel
Remove the wheel trim using the wheelbrace 1by pulling next to the valve.
Loosen the wheel bolts (for vehicles fitted with alloy wheels, remove the chrome wheel bolts first; see "Features of alloy wheels", following page).
Position the jack 3at one of the four locations Aunderneath the vehicle, as
close as possible to the wheel to be changed. Ensure that the entire surface ofthe jack base plate is in contact with the ground.
Extend the jack 3.
Remove the bolts and release the wheel.

Refitting the wheel
After positioning the wheel, pre-tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace 1.
Compress the jack 3and release it.
Fully tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace 1.
Replace the wheel trim, starting at the valve passage hole, and press on it using the palm of the hand.
Replace the shim and the jack in their bag, then store the tools in the boot.For your safety, always change the wheel:
Ð on level, stable and non-slippery ground,
Ð with the handbrake applied and the ignition switched off,
Ð with the first or reverse gear engaged (position Pfor the auto-
matic gearbox),
Ð with the vehicle chocked using a shim.
Never go underneath a vehiclewhich is supported only by a jack(use an axle stand) .
After changing the wheel:
Ð As soon as possible contact a PEUGEOT dealer to check that the wheel bolts are tight.
