Gear selection gate
Move the lever in the gate to select
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 handbrake on.
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.
Note: if position N is inadvertently
engaged while driving, allow the engine to
return to idle before engaging position D
then accelerate.
D rive: to drive in automatic mode.
M anual: to drive selecting the gears.
S: sport programme.
: snow programme.
"PORSCHE TIPTRONIC SYSTEM" AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
The four or six speed automatic gearbox
offers, as required, the comfort of the
auto-adaptive programme enhanced
by a selection suited to dynamic driving
conditions: sport, or to driving on a
slippery road: snow.
However, manual selection is still possible
using the gear lever.
Moving Off
With the engine running, move off from
position P :
to exit position P, it is essential
to press the brake pedal,
select position R , D or M , then
gradually release the pressure on
the brake pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately.
To move off from position N :
with your foot on the brake, release
the handbrake,
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 position
P or N in the gate,
turn the ignition key. When the engine is at idle,
brakes not applied, if position
R , D or M is selected, the
vehicle moves even without the
accelerator being pressed.
Do not leave children unsupervised
inside the vehicle, with position
R, D or M selected, with the engine
running, as the vehicle moves
even without the accelerator being
pressed.
With the ignition off, if the
lever is not in position P , an
audible signal is heard when
the driver's door is opened, or
after approximately 45 seconds. Move
the lever to position P . The audible
signal ceases.
When maintenance operations need to
be carried out with the engine running,
apply the handbrake and select the
P ark position.

The auto-adaptive programme
select position D in the gate: the
gearbox operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any action on your
part, taking into account the following
parameters:
- the style of driving,
- t h e p r o fi l e o f t h e r o a d ,
- the vehicle load.
To obtain maximum acceleration
without touching the lever, press the
accelerator down fully (kick down).
The programme will change down
automatically or will stay in the gear
selected until the maximum engine
speed is reached.
When the brake is applied, the pro-
gramme will change down auto-
m a t i c a l l y i n o r d e r t o p r o v i d e e f fi c i e n t
engine braking. Sport and Snow programmes
These are two special programmes.
The programme selected is displayed
on the instrument panel screen.
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 temporarily in
automatic mode. When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox automatically
selects gear M1 .
Programmes S (sport) and (snow)
do not operate in manual gear selection
mode.
Any operating abnormality is
indicated by lighting of this
warning light, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the multi-function
display.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear).
You may feel a substantial 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) or
keep within local speed limits.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Operating check
Operation with manual
selection of the gears
select position M in the gate,
push the lever to the + sign to
change up a gear and push again
to change up another gear,
pull the lever to the - sign to change
down a gear and pull again to
change down another gear.
You can change from position D (driving
in automatic mode) to position M (driving
in manual mode) at any time.
Releasing the accelerator
sharply does not have any
immediate effect on the speed
of the vehicle.
Never select position
N when
the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R
unless the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery surface. Sport programme
Press button S once the vehicle
has been started in position D , the
auto-adaptive programme favours
dynamic driving.
Snow programme
This programme improves starting and
drive when traction is poor.
Press button once the vehicle
has been started and position D has
been selected, the auto-adaptive
programme adjusts the perform-
ance of the vehicle to the condition
of the slippery road.
You can deactivate the Sport or Snow
programme at any time by pressing
the button selected.
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

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-
ing driving and trigger a warning in the
event of malfunction.

warning light.
This is accompanied by the audible signal
and the message on the multi-function
display locating the wheel concerned.
If this warning light comes on, have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.
Puncture
This warning light, accompanied by
the audible signal and the message on
the multi-function display locating the
wheel concerned, is followed by illumi-
nation of the "STOP" warning light. Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.

Instrument panel display
warning light. All repairs and changing of
t y r e s o n a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s
system must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle, you must have the system
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
T h e t y r e u n d e r - i n fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n s y s -
tem is an aid to driving which does not
replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (see manufacturer's
label on the door pillar) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic performance
of the vehicle is maintained and pre-
vent premature wear of the tyres, par-
ticularly in arduous driving conditions
(heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remem-
ber to check the pressure of the spare
wheel.
T h e t y r e u n d e r - i n fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n s y s -
tem may experience temporary inter-
ference due to radioelectric emissions
on a frequency close to that used by
the system.

displayed when one of the
wheels is away from the ve-
hicle (being repaired) or when
one or more wheels without a

light on the button comes on.
Note: this function will be de-
activated automatically when
a trailer is being towed (vehicle
fi t t e d w i t h a t o w b a r r e c o m -
mended by PEUGEOT). If there is an operating fault,
when reverse gear is engaged,

function display.
Reactivation
Press button
A again to reactivate the
system. The indicator light on the but-
ton is switched off.
The proximity of the obstacle is indi-
cated by:
- an audible signal which becomes more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle,
- a graphic on the multifunction dis-play, with blocks which become
increasingly close to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; that is, front or rear and
right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approxi-
mately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous and/or the
"Danger" symbol appears on the multi-
function display.
The system becomes inactive again:
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h),
- at the end of the manoeuvre, when stationary, after a few seconds
(front parking assistance only).
