INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS25
Engine diagnostics warning light This is linked to the warning light on the instrument panel.Display of this warning light is accompanied by an audible signal and the message
'Engine emission control
system fault' on the multi-function display.
If it flashes when the engine is running, this indicates a malfunction in the injection, ignition or emission control system.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic converter.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Bulb blown warning lightDisplay of this indicator light is accompanied by an audible signal and the message 'Bulb...faulty'on the
multi-function display, indicating the faulty bulb: a bulb in the dipped beam lights, the side lights, the direction indicator lights (except side repeaters) or the brake lights (except the central brake light).
Change the faulty bulb.
Windscreen/headlamp wash reservoir warning light Display of this warning light is accompanied by an audible signal and the message 'Screenwash low' on the
multi-function display. Fill the windscreen/headlamp wash reservoir the next time you stop. Particulate emission filter saturation warning light (diesel engine) Display of this warning light is accompanied by an audible signal.When it occurs with the engine running, this indicates the start of saturation of the particulate emission filter (excep- tionally long periods of town type driving conditions: reduced speed, long tailbacks...).
To regenerate the filter, you are advised to drive as soon as possible and when traffic conditions permit at a speed of 35 mph(60 km/h) or more for at least five minutes (until the warning light goes out).
If the light remains on, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.Note: After prolonged operation of the vehicle at a very low speed or at idle, you may sometimes notice steam coming from
the exhaust during acceleration. This has no effect on the performance of the vehicle or on the environment.

The four speed automatic gearbox offers a choice between the comfort of
integral automatic operation , enhanced by a sport and a snow programme,
or the pleasure of manual gear changing .

Notes
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speedand engine speed permit. If they donot, the vehicle will operate tempora-rily in automatic mode. When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearboxautomatically selects gear M1.
Programmes S(sport) and (snow)
do not operate in manual mode. Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is shown by illumination of thiswarning light, accompaniedby an audible signal and themessage 'Automatic gear-
box faulty' on the multi-function dis-
play. In this situation the gearbox operates in downgrade mode (locked in 3rd
gear). You may feel a substantialknock when changing from Pto R
and from Nto R(this will not cause
any damage to the gearbox). Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four gears:
 select function Din the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most suitable gear according to the follo-wing parameters:
- the style of driving,
- the road profile,
- the vehicle load.The gearbox is then operating in auto-adaptive mode, without anyaction on your part.
WARNING Never select function N when the
vehicle is moving.Never select functions Por Runless
the vehicle is stationary.Never change betwen 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 downor maintain the gear selected untilmaximum engine speed is reached. When the brake is applied, the gear- box will automatically change down
in order to provide efficient enginebraking.
If you take your foot off the accelera-
tor suddenly, the gearbox will notchange to a higher gear for reasons
of safety. Sport and snow programmesIn addition to the auto-adaptive pro-gramme, there are two special pro-grammes.The programme is displayed on theinstrument panel screen. Sport programme
 Press button Sonce the vehicle
has been started and function D
selected.
The gearbox automatically favours sporty driving and more dynamicacceleration. Snow programme This 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 onslippery roads. Note: you can return to the auto-
adaptive programme at any time.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THEELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCEDISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the electronic brake force distribution,increases the stability and manoe-vrability of your vehicle on braking, inparticular on poor or slippery roadsurfaces. Note:when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are approved. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning lightcomes on, accompanied bya buzzer and the message"ABS fault" , it indicates
that there is a malfunction of
the ABS, which can cause a loss ofcontrol of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lightcomes on, connected to the
STOPand ABS warning
lights, accompanied by abuzzer and the message
'Braking fault' , it indicates that there
is a malfunction of the electronicbrake force distribution, which cancause a loss of control of the vehiclewhen braking.

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 by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The
effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.Stop immediately. In both cases, consult a Peugeot
dealer.
Normal operation of the ABS maymake itself felt by slight vibrationsof the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.
MANUAL GEARBOX Reverse*
To change to reverse gear, lift the ring under the gear lever knob andpush the gear lever to the left then tothe front. Reverse gear can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary withthe engine idling.
* According to engine.

ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED SUSPENSION The suspension adapts automatical- ly and instantly to different drivingstyles and road characteristics,improving the comfort of the occu-pants and the vehicle's road holdingcapabilities. The suspension favours smooth shock absorption, ensuring a com-fortable ride, but as soon as condi-tions demand a change (sporty dri-ving, tight bends, avoidance action,etc.) it automatically selects firmershock absorption, guaranteeing opti-mum road holding. Selecting the SPORT position
Press switch 1, the
SPORT indicator light will
come on, accompaniedby an audible signal.
In this position, the suspension ismaintained in the SPORT position.
To return to automatic operation
 Press switch 1again. The
indicator light will go out and the AUTOindicator
light comes on, accompa-nied by an audible signal.
Operating check This is confirmed by the switch light
and the indicator lights. The switchlight comes on for approximatelythree seconds every time the ignitionis switched on. If the switch light flashes or if the indicator light comes on, accompa-nied by an audible signal and themessage ' Hydraulic suspension
pressure insufficient' , contact your
PEUGEOT dealer.

Operating check
When a malfunction of the sys- tems occurs, the switch lightflashes and the warning lightcomes on, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-
sage 'ESP/ASR system faulty' on the
multi-function display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.
Disarming the ASR/ESP systems In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground...), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR system,so that the wheels can move freelyand regain grip.
Press the 'ESP OFF'
switch, located under thesteering wheel to the left.
The switch lights up and thewarning light comes on,accompanied by an audiblesignal and the message
'ASR/ESP system de-acti-vated' on the multiÐfunction
display : the ASR and ESP systems
no longer have any effect on theengine operation. These are triggered again :
 automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
 manually by pressing the switchagain.DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) AND
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) These systems are linked and com-
plementary to the ABS system. In the event of a significant variation between the trajectory of the vehicle
and the path required by the driver,
the ESP system acts automaticallyon the engine and on the brake ofone or more wheels, to put the vehi-cle back on course. The traction control (ASR) system optimises drive, in order to avoid thewheels slipping, by acting on thebrakes of the drive wheels and onthe engine. It also enables the direc-tional stability of the vehicle to beimproved during acceleration. Operation of the ESP
and ASR systems
When one of the two sys-tems is in operation, thisindicator light flashes.
The ESP system offers exceptional safety in nor-mal driving, but this shouldnot encourage the driver totake extra risks or drive at
high speed. The correct functioning of this sys- tem depends on observation of themanufacturer's recommendationsregarding wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components and theelectronic components, as well asthe PEUGEOT assembly andoperation procedures. After an impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer

CRUISE CONTROL Cruise control enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed pro-
grammed by the driver, regardless ofthe road characteristics and withoutthe driver having to touch the accel-erator or brake pedals. In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater than25 mph (40 km/h) or 40 mph
(60 km/h), (according to engine),with at least 4th gear engaged
(2nd gear for the automatic gear-box).Operation
Place the ring of switch 1
in the ON position. The
indicator light will come onaccompanied by an audi-ble signal.
A speed can be memorised.  Place the ring of switch 1 in the OFF position to cancel.
Memorising a speed As soon as you reach the chosen speed, push stalk 1upwards or
downwards. This memorises thespeed, 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 memorisedspeed :
 Pull stalk 1towards you or press
the brake or clutch pedal.
Recalling the memorisedspeed
After cancellation, flick stalk 1 upwards or downwards. Your vehicle
will return to the last memorised speed.
Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than the previous one:
 keep stalk 1pressed upwards;
 release it when you have reachedthe required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than theprevious one :  keep stalk 1pressed downwards;
 release it when you have reachedthe required speed.
Disarming the cruise control  place the ring in the OFFposition
or switch off the ignition.
Do not use cruise control on slippery roads or inheavy traffic.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION Sensors check the tyre pressure during driving, and trigger a warningin the event of malfunction (speedgreater than 15mph [25 km/h]). Flat tyre When this warning light comes on, accompanied byan audible signal and themessage 'Tyre pressure
low' on the multi-function
display, have the tyre pressurechecked as soon as possible. Puncture
This warning light, accom- panied by an audible signaland the message 'Punc-
tured tyre(s) detected' on
the multi-function display, is
followed by illumination of the
'STOP' warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-den movement of the steering wheeland the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured orvery deflated) tyre, and have the tyrepresure checked as soon as possible.
Note: if the damaged tyre is temporari-
ly stored in the boot, it will again emitthis message to remind you of the
necessity of having it repaired. This willprevent another warning of the sametype being displayed.
Sensor(s) not detected
This warning light, accom-panied by an audible signaland the message ' X tyre
pressure sensor(s) miss-ing ' on the multi-function
display, indicates that under-inflationdetection is absent from one (or sev-eral) tyre(s).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace the faulty sensor(s). Note: this message is also displayed
when one of the tyres is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or whena wheel without a sensor is fitted.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fittedwith this system must becarried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inflation detec-tion system is an aid to drivingwhich does not replace theneed for the driver to be vigilant
or to drive responsibly. This system does not remove the necessity for having the tyre pres-sure (including that of the spare
wheel) checked regularly, toensure optimum dynamic perfor-mance of the vehicle and to pre-vent premature wear of the tyres,particularly in the case of arduousdriving conditions (heavy load,high speed). The system may temporarily be disturbed by radio broadcasts ona frequency close to it.
