SEAT BELTS
Detection of fastening of the front
seat belts
When the ignition is switched on , if a
front passenger has not fastened his seat
belt and if the vehicle speed is below
13 mph (20 km/h) , you are warned by
lighting of the seat belt warning light .
The warning light switches off when the
seat belt(s) concerned is(are) fastened.
If the vehicle speed is above 13 mph
(20 km/h) , y o u a r e w a r n e d b y fl a s h i n g
of the seat belt warning light , an
audible signal and a message on the
multifunction display locating the un-
fastened seat belt(s).
Front seat belts with
pre-tensioner and force
limiter
In the event of a serious front impact,
the pre-tensioning system instantly
t i g h t e n s t h e s e a t b e l t s fi r m l y a g a i n s t
the bodies of the occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt against the chest of the
occupant, so increasing his protection.
Rear seat belts
T h e r e a r s e a t s a r e a l l fi t t e d w i t h a
three-point inertia reel seat belt.
The rear side seat belts have a force
l i m i t e r a n d m a y b e fi t t e d w i t h a p r e -
tensioning inertia reel.
To fasten the seat belts
Pull the strap, then insert the
tongue into the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is secured
correctly by pulling the strap.
To unfasten the seat belts
Press the red button on the buckle. Before folding the seat back, pull the
strap and insert the seat belt tongue
into the buckle. This precaution will
ensure that each seat belt is in place
when the rear seats are lifted again.
Note: a bag or an animal
placed on the front passenger
seat may trigger the lighting of
the warning light.
The audible signal ceases and the
warning light switches off when the
seat belt concerned is fastened.
After two minutes without any action on
t h e s e a t b e l t s , t h e fl a s h i n g w a r n i n g l i g h t
remains on permanently and the audible
signal ceases. All of the warnings cease
when a door is opened or when the
engine is switched off.
Front seat belt height adjustment:
To lower the attachment point,
squeeze control 1 and slide it
downwards,
To raise the attachment point, slide
control 1 upwards.

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
be impossible to change to
another position.
In particular, do not force the lever
or there is a risk the gearbox may be
damaged.

In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature. Lighting TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses
which have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle
a n d t h a t y o u e n t r u s t t h e fi t t i n g o f t h e
towbar to a PEUGEOT dealer.
I f t h e t o w b a r i s n o t fi t t e d b y a P E U G E O T
d e a l e r , i t i s i m p e r a t i v e t h a t i t i s fi t t e d u s -
ing the electrical pre-equipment installed
at the rear of the vehicle, in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heavi-
est loads are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight is close
to the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope in-
creases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
I n t h e c a s e o f v e h i c l e s fi t t e d w i t h a n
HDI engine, it is advisable, following
intensive use (towing on a motorway,
prolonged driving, ...), to leave the en-
gine running at idle for approximately
20 seconds before switching off the ig-
nition. This limits any increase in the
temperature of the engine after it has
been switched off.
Note: in certain cases of par-
ticularly arduous use (towing
the maximum load in high
temperatures on a steep
slope), the engine automatically lim-
its its power and selects the appropri-
ate automatic gearbox gear in manual
mode. In this case, cutting off the air
conditioning allows the engine power
to be recovered, and therefore the
towing capacity to be increased.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (label on the central
door pillar on the driver’s side) and of
the trailer towed, observing the recom-
mended pressure.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradu-
ally.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.
