Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four
gears: select function D in the gate.
The gearbox always selects the
most suitable gear according to the
following parameters:
the style of driving,
the road profile,
the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto adaptive mode, without any
action on your part.
WARNING
Never select function N when the
vehicle is moving.
Never select functions Por Runless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between functions to
optimise braking on a slippery surface.
Notes
For immediate maximum accelera
tion without touching the gear lever,
press the accelerator pedal down as
far as it will go (kickdown). The gear
box will automatically change down
or maintain the gear selected until
maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox will auto
matically change down in order to
provide efficient engine braking. If you take your foot off the accelera
tor suddenly, the gearbox will not
change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety.
Snow programme
In addition to the auto adaptive pro
gramme, there is a special pro
gramme.
The programme is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
The Snow programme improves
starting and drive when traction is
poor.
Press button
once the vehicle
has been started and function D
selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving on
slippery roads.
Note: you can return to the auto
adaptive programme at any time. Press button
again to switch
off the programme you are in.
Manual operation
Manual changing of the four gears:
select function M in the gate,
push the lever to the + sign to
change to a higher gear,
pull the lever to the – sign to
change to a lower gear.
You can change from position D (dri
ving in automatic mode) to position
M (driving in manual mode) at any
time.
Note
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed
and engine speed permit. If they do
not, the vehicle will operate tem
porarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox
automatically selects gear M1.
The
(snow) programme does not
operate in manual mode.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indicated
by an audible signal, accompanied by
the message "Automatic gearbox
faulty" on the multi function display
and flashing of the Snow warning
light on the instrument panel.
In this situation the gearbox operates
in downgrade mode (locked in 3rd
gear). You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from Pto R
and from N to R (this will not cause
any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h),
keeping within the limit of local
speed restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.

MANUAL GEARBOX
Reverse
*
To change to reverse gear, lift the
ring under the gear lever knob and
push the gear lever to the left then to
the front.
Reverse gear can only be
engaged when the vehicle is sta
tionary with the engine idling.
* According to engine. AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occu
pants in the event of serious colli
sions. They work in conjunction with
the force limiting seat belts. The
electronic detectors register and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle : if the triggering thresh
old is reached, the air bags inflate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in the
case of collisions which are not seri
ous, for which the seat belt is suffi
cient to ensure maximum protection.
The seriousness of a collision
depends on the nature of the obsta
cle and the speed of the vehicle at
the moment of the collision.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. 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 cases where the passen
ger air bag is disarmed.
Front air bag fault
If this warning light comeson, accompanied by an
audible signal and the mes
sage "Air bag fault" on the
multi–function display, con
tact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked.
