two driving modes:
- an automated mode for automatic control of the gears by the gearbox
and therefore without any action on
the part of the driver,
- a sequential mode for manual changing of the gears by the driver
using the steering wheel controls or

Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode dis-
p l a y fl a s h e s , t h e v e h i c l e s w i t c h e s a u t o -
matically to front "2WD" transmission
mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A . Do not subject the vehicle to ex-
cessive conditions while driving.
As the engine torque is applied
to all four wheels, the condition
of the tyres has a considerable
impact on the performance of
the vehicle.
Ensure that all four tyres are in
good condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in sandy
or muddy areas or in other areas
in which the wheels could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the
transmission components under
pressure and could cause a se-
rious malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through
deep water.
Avoid driving over excessively
u n e v e n t e r r a i n ( r i s k o f s c r a p i n g
under the body or of grounding
on crossing a bridge).
Have your vehicle towed on a
fl a t b e d .
The vehicle must not be towed
with the front or rear wheels on
the ground even if it is in front
" 2 W D " ( 2 w h e e l d r i v e ) m o d e .
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is dis-
played on the instrument panel, let the
transmission cool down then wait for the
display to clear before setting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed alter-
nately and if "MAINTENANCE REQUIRED"
is displayed on the instrument panel, the
system has failed and the safety system
has been activated.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without
delay.

tree, gate, ...) located behind the vehicle,
but it can not detect obstacles located
immediately below the bumper. Activation
The parking assistance is activated by
engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by
an audible signal which becomes more
frequent as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When a certain distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is
reached, the audible signal becomes
continuous:
An object such as a stake, a road
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre but
may no longer be detected when
the vehicle moves closer to it.
Location of the sensors
T h e v e h i c l e i s fi t t e d w i t h f o u r s e n s o r s :
- two side sensors

The parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the need for
vigilance and responsibility on
the part of the driver.

CHECKS
Manual gearbox Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of gearbox mainte-
nance.
Brake pads Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
d r o p i n t h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l i n d i c a t e s
that the brake pads are worn. Brake disc wear status
For any information relating to
checking of the brake disc wear
status, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Handbrake
If the handbrake travel is too
long or if you notice a loss
of effectiveness of this sys-
tem, the handbrake must
be adjusted, even between
two services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
q u a l i t y a n d s p e c i fi c a t i o n s . In order to optimise the opera-
tion of units as important as
the braking system, PEUGEOT

To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compart-
ment is
