CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control enables the vehicle to
maintain a steady speed pro
grammed by the driver, regardless of
the road characteristics and without
the driver having to touch the accel
erator or brake pedals.
In order for it to be memorised, the
vehicle speed must be greater than
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) and
fourth or fifth gear must be engaged.
Operation Place switch 1 in the ON position.
A speed can be memorised. Place switch 1 in the OFF position
to cancel.
Memorising a speed
As soon as you reach the chosen
speed, press button 2or 3. This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically.
Note: It is possible to accelerate
momentarily without disarming the
cruise control. Cancelling the memorised
speed
If you wish to cancel the memorised
speed: 
Press button 4or the brake or
clutch pedal.
Recalling the memorised
speed
After cancellation, press button 4.
Your vehicle will return to the last
memorised speed.
Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than
the previous one:  press button 3;
 release it when you have reached
the required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:  press button 2;
 release it when you have reached
the required speed.
Cancelling the cruise control  place switch 1in the OFFposition
or switch off the ignition.
DRIVING YOUR 406 149
Do not use cruise control
on slippery roads or in
heavy traffic. THE ABS
ANTILOCK
BRAKING SYSTEM
When used with approved tyres in
good condition, the ABS increases
the stability and manoeuvrability of
your vehicle, particularly on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
The antilock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system
enables the optimum braking pres
sure to be reached more quickly,
thus reducing the stopping distance.
It is triggered according to the speed
of activation of the brake pedal. The
effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency. The normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight
vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing
the pressure.

The jack is fitted with a system
which enables it to be folded or
unfolded rapidly. Take the jack
from the toolkit and fold it by press
ing the ends A. Place the jack at
one of the locations Eunderneath
the vehicle (as close as possible to
the wheel to be changed) and
unfold it by pulling the ends A.
Extend the jack using the wheel brace 1and the extension 3.
Take out a wheel bolt at the top and fit the centralising tool 2.
Loosen the wheel bolts and remove the wheel. Fitting a wheel
Position the wheel using the cen
tralising tool to assist you.
Tighten the bolts by hand, and remove the centralising tool.
Partly tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace.
Fold the jack and remove it.
Fully tighten the wheel bolts using the wheelbrace.
Replace the wheel trim, except in the case of a spacesaver wheel,
by starting with the valve and
pressing on using the palm of your
hand. For your safety, always
change the wheel:
on level, stable, nonslippery ground,
with the handbrake applied,
with first or reverse gear engaged (position Pfor the
automatic gearbox).
Never go underneath a vehicle which is supported only by a
jack (use a ramp).
After changing the wheel
have the tightening of the bolts and the tyre pressure checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible,
have the punctured tyre repaired and refit it to the vehi
cle as soon as possible.
7 seater Estate model
The spacesaver spare wheel fit
ted with a 125/80R15 tyre must
only be used as a shortterm mea
sure. Tyre pressure is 61 lb in2
(4.2 bars), maximum speed is
50 mph (80 km/h).

PETROL / LPG DUALFUEL VERSION167
Puncture
Insulated storage compartment
This is located in the boot and con
tains:
the temporary tyre repair cans 1
(your 406 LPG does not have a
spare wheel),
the adaptors 2 necessary for
filling the LPG tank in some
countries,
the towing eye 3.
Fuses
The LPG functions are protected
by the two fuses Ain the fuse box
located in the engine compartment.
Using the repair cans
(Refer to the directions on the cans
also)
if possible, remove the object
which caused the puncture,
rotate the wheel so that the valve is in the same position as the
figures 2 or 10 on a clock,
shake the cans vigorously before use. In very cold weather, warm
the cans between your hands for
few minutes,
hold the valve with one hand and with the other press the injection
nozzle on the can firmly onto the
valve, holding it straight,
maintain the pressure firmly for one minute, carry out the same operation with
the second can, then drive imme
diately, at a moderate speed , to
the nearest garage.
The cans enable you to carry out
a temporary repair.
After use, the tyre must be
changed.
As the cans are pressurized, they
must not be exposed to a temper
ature above 50°C.
Store them away from heat in the
insulated storage compartment.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow
bars that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle.
The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is basically designed for
transporting people and luggage but
it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more significant
stress and its driver must be particu
larly careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
The maximum towing load must
be reduced by 10% for every
1000 metres of altitude.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads:
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it. Cooling:
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed, and reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing speed on a
long slope depends on the gradient
and the outside temperature.
For vehicles fitted with a direct injec
tion petrol engine, after towing or dri
ving at high speed for a long period
of time, the fan may operate for
approximately 6 minutes.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Tyres:
Check the tyre pressures of the tow
ing vehicle and the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
Brakes:
Towing increases the braking distance.
Lights:
Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer.
Side wind:
Take into acount the increased sen
sitivity to side wind.
