SAFETY
110
For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strict-
ly forbidden unless it is carried out by
q u a l i fi e d p e r s o n n e l o f t h e P E U G E O T
dealer network.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned above are observed, a risk of
injury or of slight burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is trig-
gered cannot be ruled out. In fact, the

the openings provided for this pur-
pose. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resti
ng your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of the airbags can cau se burns or the
risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.

2 TRONIC GEARBOX (SALOON)
Five-speed electronically controlled
gearbox which offers a choice between
the comfort of automatic operation or
the pleasure of manual gear changing.
Three driving modes are offered:
- automated mode for automatic con-
trol of the gears by the gearbox,
- sequential mode for manual chang-
ing of the gears by the driver,
- auto sequential mode for overtak-
ing, 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 forwards to select this po-
sition.
N . Neutral.
With your foot on the brake, select
this position to start the engine.
A . Automated mode.
Move the lever backwards to select
this mode.
M. +/- Sequential mode with manual
gear changing.
Move the lever backwards, then to
the left to select this mode, then:
- push forwards to change up a gear,
- or push backwards to change down a gear.
Gear lever
+. Change up paddle.
Press the back of the steering wheel
"+" paddle to change up a gear.
- Change down paddle.
Press the back of the steering wheel
"-" paddle to change down a gear.
Steering mounted controls
The steering mounted paddles 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 mounted control paddles.
The use of these paddles 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, you must apply the parking
brake 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 lamp comes on and AUTO
fl a s h e s , a c c o m p a n i e d b y a n a u -
dible signal and a message on
the multifunction screen, this indicates
a gearbox malfunction.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
You must 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, you must apply the
parking brake 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.

Select position N .
Press the brake pedal.
Wait approximately 30 seconds until
N or a gear appears on the instru-
ment panel.
Release the brake pedal.
The gearbox is operational again.

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 man-
ually: it requires a programmed speed
of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by
manual 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

1. Speed limiter mode selection dial
2. Value decrease button
3. Value increase button
4. Speed limiter on/off button The programmed information is grouped

The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.

121
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 on
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h), as well as
the engaging of:
- fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
- second gear with the 2 Tronic or automatic gearbox, in sequential
mode,
- position A on the 2 Tronic gearbox
or D on the automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off man-
ually 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 stalk
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 screen.

The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need

responsibility on the part of the
driver.
You are advised to keep your feet
near the pedals at all times.
