'PORSCHE TIPTRONIC SYSTEM' AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
The four speed automatic gearbox
offers a choice between the comfort
of integral automatic operation , en-
hanced by a sport and a snow pro-
gramme, or manual gear changing . Gear selection gate
Move the lever in the gate to se-
lect a position.
The indicator light corresponding to the position selected appears
on the instrument panel screen.
P ark: to immobilise the vehicle and
to start the engine , with the hand-
brake on or off.
R everse: to reverse (select this
position with the vehicle stationary,
engine at idle).
N eutral: to start the engine and to
park , with the handbrake on.
If position N is inadvertently engaged
while driving, allow the engine to re-
turn to idle before engaging position
D to accelerate.
D rive: for driving in automatic mode.
M anual: for selection of gears.
S : sport programme.
: snow programme. Moving Off
With the engine running, to move off
from position
P :
it is essential to press the brake
pedal to exit position P ,
select position R, D or M , then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
You can also move off from position N :

select position R, D or M , then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
Starting the engine
with the handbrake on, select po-
sition P or N in the gate,
turn the ignition key to the Start
position.

HANDBRAKE
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indi-
cated by an audible signal, accom-
panied by the message 'Automatic
gear fault' on the multi-function dis-
play, by a "-" a n d fl a s h i n g o f t h e
Sport and Snow warning lights on the
instrument panel display.
In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substan-
tial knock when changing from P to
R and from N to R (this will not cause
any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h),
respecting local speed limits.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. Illumination of this warning light
and of the STOP warning light,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal (while the vehicle is being
driven) and the message "hand-
brake on" on the multifunction display,
indicates that the handbrake is still on or
has not been properly released.
Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the but-
ton to release the handbrake.
I f t h e b a t t e r y i s fl a t a n d t h e
lever is in position P , it will
be impossible to change
to another position.
In particular, do not force
the lever or there is a risk the gear-
box may be damaged. When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the
handbrake.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and manoeu-
vrability of your vehicle on braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure 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 the re-
sistance of the pedal and an increase
i n b r a k i n g e f fi c i e n c y .
When braking in an emergency,
p r e s s fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g t h e
pressure.
Depending on the force of the de-
celeration, the hazard warning lights
are switched on automatically. They
are switched off automatically on
acceleration.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message, it
indicates that there is a mal-
function of the ABS, which can cause
a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking. When this warning light
comes on, connected to the
STOP warning light, accom-
panied by a buzzer and a
message, it indicates that there is a
malfunction of the electronic brake
force distribution, which can cause
a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock. Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press very

SAFETY72 -
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger) in the event of serious
collisions; they work in conjunction
with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and ana-
lyse the front and side impacts suf-
fered in the impact detection zones
(see diagram): in the event of a
s e r i o u s i m p a c t , t h e a i r b a g s i n fl a t e
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger).
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 air bag is
disarmed, in the event of a serious
front impact applied in the impact
zone A in the longitudinal centreline,
on a horizontal plane and from the
front towards the rear of the vehicle.
T h e a i r b a g i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n t h e f r o n t
occupant of the vehicle and the fas-
cia to cushion his forward movement.
In this way, the air bags limit the risk
of injury to the head and chest.
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multifunction display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. The air bags
may no longer be triggered in the
event of a serious impact. F r o n t a i r b a g m a l f u n c t i o n

B. Side impact zone. Immediately after the impact, the air

not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their possible exit from the
vehicle.
The air bags will not be deployed in
collisions which are not serious, rear
impacts or in certain roll-over con-
d i t i o n s . T h e s e a t b e l t i s s u f fi c i e n t t o
provide maximum protection in these
situations.

n i t i o n i s s w i t c h e d o n .
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not operate.
Note: the triggering of an air bag or
air bags is accompanied by a slight
discharge of harmless smoke and
a noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
This gas may cause slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may re-
sult in a slight loss of hearing for a
short time.
