Recommendations for approved lubricants
The oils which appear in the tableopposite are suitable for most purposes. The diagram opposite states the optimum range of viscosity depen-ding on the temperatures at which theoils are to be used. It is also possible to use synthetic oils of Ôsuperior qualityÕ. In the absence of semi-synthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJquality (for petrol engines), or CD/CF(for diesel engines) may be used byfollowing the ÔArduous ConditionsÕmaintenance schedule which speci-fies shorter intervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice from
a PEUGEOT dealer to maintaindriving pleasure and to minimise themaintenance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

Any disruption of the system is signalled by thesimultaneous flashing of theSport and Snow lights onthe instrument panel. In
such a case, the gearbox will operate
in downgraded mode. You may feela substantial knock when reverse isselected from Por N(without any risk
of damage to the gearbox). Do not exceed 60 m.p.h. (100km/h). Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
without delay. When the engine is idling with the
car in gear, the car will move evenwithout you 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 hand-brake and select position P.
Do not change down to brake onslippery roads. Never select position Nwhen the
vehicle is moving. Never engage Por Rif the vehicle
is not stationary. Do not allow children inside the vehicle unsupervised when theengine is running.Operating programmes
You have a choice of three operating programmes:
- Auto-adaptive (normal).
- Sport.
- Snow.One press on button Aor Bwill select
Sport or Snow respectively. The selection is displayed on the instru-ment panel. Pressing the button asecond time will return to the auto-adaptive (normal) programme. Auto-adaptive programme (normal) Gear changes are carried out on the basis of various parameters, such as:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- the vehicleÕs load.The gearbox continuously scans the
different programmes in the memoryand selects the one most suitable forthe driving conditions at any givenmoment. Sport programme The Sport programme favours perfor- mance for sporty driving and moredynamic acceleration. Snow Programme In position
Dthe Snow programme
provides smooth driving suited to slip- pery roads in order to improve trac-
tion and stability. Starting is in 2ndgear and changing down is at lowengine speeds. Special operating features During prolonged braking, the
gearbox changes down automatically,
so as to provide efficient enginebraking.
- If you take your foot off the accel- erator suddenly (when you are taken by surprise, for example), thegearbox will not change up, so as to
improve safety.
-When the engine is cold, thegearbox automatically selects aspecial programme which enablesthe engine to reach its ideal tem-perature more quickly 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 changedown automatically or stay in the gearselected, up to maximum enginespeed.

Manual gearbox The positions are indicated on the gear lever knob. Reverse gear can only be engaged from neutral when the vehicle is
stationary, with the engine idling. Special features of the six speedgearbox* Raise the lock ring under theknob beforeengaging reverse. In the event of emergency braking,press very firmly without reducingthe pressure. In some conditions
the normal operation of the ABSmay be felt as vibrations of thebrake pedal.
