Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the fascia.

"2 TRONIC" GEARBOX
(SALOON)
Five-speed controlled manual gearbox
which offers a choice between the com-
fort of automatic operation or the plea-
sure of manual gear changing.
Three driving modes are offered:
- the automated mode for automatic
control of the gears by the gearbox,
- the sequential mode for manual
changing of the gears by the driver,
- the auto sequential mode for over-
taking, for example, remaining in
the automated mode while using the
functions of the sequential mode.
R Reverse
With your foot on the brake, move the
lever upwards to select this position.
N Neutral.
With your foot on the brake, select
this position to start the engine.
A Automated mode.
Move the lever downwards to select
this mode.
M +/- Sequential mode with manual
gear changing.
Move the lever downwards, then to
the left to select this mode, then:
- push forwards to change up a gear,
- or push rearwards to change down a gear.
Gear lever
+ Change up control.
Press the back of the steering wheel
control "+" to change up a gear.
- Change down control.
Press the back of the steering wheel
control "-" to change down a gear.
Steering wheel controls
The steering wheel controls do not
permit the selection of neutral or
the engaging and disengaging of
reverse gear.

"Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can resume
control temporarily at any time using the
steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a more rapid change-
down than in the automated mode (ar-
rival at a roundabout, leaving a car park
with a steep gradient, overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the required gear if
the engine speed permits. AUTO remains
displayed on the instrument panel.
After a few minutes, the gearbox re-
sumes automatic control of the gears. "Snow" automated mode
In the automated mode, if the vehi-
cle detects poor grip, the gearbox will
change automatically to the "snow" au-
tomated mode.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
change to position
N to be in neutral.
In this case, it is imperative that you
apply the handbrake to immobilise the
vehicle.
Reinitialisation
Following disconnection of the battery,
the gearbox must be reinitialised.
Switch on the ignition. Operating fault
With the ignition on, if this warn-
ing light comes on and AUTO

dible signal and a message on
the multifunction display, this indicates
a gearbox malfunction.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
It is compulsory to press the brake
pedal while starting the engine.
Never select neutral N while the
vehicle is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when
the vehicle is immobilised, with
your foot on the brake pedal.
In all cases, it is imperative that you
apply the handbrake to immobilise
the vehicle.
If you press the accelerator pedal
beyond the point of resistance, the
gearbox selects the gear below to
permit sharper acceleration.

Press the brake pedal.
Wait approximately 30 seconds until

SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator pedal no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on manu-ally: it requires a programmed speed of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by switched offmanual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be ex-ceeded temporarily by pressing the ac- c e l e r a t o r fi r m l y .
To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below the programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off.
The controls of this system are grouped together on stalk A .

2. Value decrease button
3. Value increase button
4. Speed limiter on/off button
The programmed information is grouped together on the instrument panel display.

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched onmanually: it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h), as well as the engaging:
- of fourth gear on the manual gear-box,
- of second gear with the "2 Tronic" or automatic gearbox, in sequential mode,
- of position A on the "2 Tronic" gear-box or D on the automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off manu- offally or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on triggering of the ESP sys-tem for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing the ac-celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
The controls of this system are grouped together on lever A .
1. Cruise control mode selection dial
2. Value decrease button
3. Value increase button
4. Cruise control off/resume button
The programmed information is grouped together on the instrument panel dis-play.
