from the ignition when
leaving the vehicle, even
for a short time.
If an obstacle is detected when
operating the electric windows,
you must reverse the movement
of the window. To do this, press
the control concerned.
When the driver operates the pas-
senger electric window controls,
he must ensure that no one is pre-
venting correct closing of the win-

DRIVING68 -
'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 :

 release the handbrake, with your
foot on the brake,

 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.
WARNING
When the engine is at idle, brakes not
applied, if position R, D or M is se-
lected, the vehicle moves even with-
out the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave chil-
dren unsupervised inside the
vehicle, with the engine running.
When maintenance operations need
to be carried out with the engine run-
ning, apply the handbrake and select
position P .

69DRIVING-
Automatic operation

Automatic changing of the four
gears:

 select position D in the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the follow-
ing parameters:
- the road profi le,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any ac-
tion on your part. If you take your foot off the accel-
erator suddenly, the gearbox will not
change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety.
Manual operation

Manual changing of the four gears:

 select position 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
(driving in automatic mode) to posi-
tion M (driving in manual mode) at
any time.

WARNING
Never select position N when the ve-
hicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery sur-
face.

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 the brake is applied, the gear-
box will automatically change down
in order to provide effi cient engine
braking. Sport and snow programmes
In addition to the auto-adaptive
programme, there are two special
programmes.
The programme is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
Sport programme

 Press button S once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox automatically favours
sporty driving and more dynamic ac-
celeration.
Snow programme
This programme improves starting
and drive when traction is poor.

 Press button  once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox adapts to driving on
slippery roads.
Notes
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 tempo-
rarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox au-
tomatically selects gear M1 .
Programmes S (sport) and  (snow)
do not operate in manual mode.

Note: you can return to the auto-
adaptive programme at any time.

 Press button S or  again to switch
off the programme you are in.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never fi ll past this mark.

B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet. Brake fluid level
The brake fl uid must be changed
according to the manufacturer's ser-
vicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4 stan-
dards.

Note: brake fl uid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin. Used oil
Avoid used oil coming into prolonged
contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers intended for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid or
coolant into drains or onto the ground.
Dipstick
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments. Cooling system
Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.

Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed. Power steering reservoir

 Open the reservoir, with the en-
gine at ambient temperature. The
level should always be above the
MIN. mark and close to the MAX.
mark.
Windscreen wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products recommended by PEUGEOT.
Oil level

 Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-
mum consumption is 0.5 l per
600 miles (1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.

79CHECKS-
CHECKS
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT
or products of equivalent
quality and specifi cations.
To ensure best performance from
components as important as the
power steering and the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers quite specifi c products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, avoid washing the engine.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the fi lter elements replaced reg-
ularly. If you drive in dusty condi-
tions, change them twice as often.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
It may be necessary to check the
thickness of the pads, even between
services.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For further information relating to
checking brake disc and/or drum
wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly, in accor-
dance with the servicing schedule.
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF
In a serious collision, a system pre-
vents fuel from reaching the engine.
To re-establish the fuel supply, press
the switch on the angle of the front
left-hand suspension assembly, un-
der the bonnet.
Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil change.
Have the level checked in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's ser-
vicing schedule.

To check the main levels and cer-
tain components, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule, refer to the pages of
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle's engine.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
