"Normal" automatic mode
Select position D .
"D" appears on the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in automatic
mode, without any action on the part of
the driver.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp vari-
ations in the pressure on the accelerator
pedal.
"Temporary" manual mode
In automatic mode, you can take
control temporarily at any time using
the steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a faster changedown than
that offered in automatic mode (arrival
at a roundabout, exit from a car park
with a steep gradient, overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automatic mode, press
the back of the "+/OFF" control for at
least 2 seconds. "Sport" automatic mode
From automatic mode, you can engage
"Sport" mode.
With the vehicle moving or stationary,
push the thumbwheel
A forward.
"SPORT" appears on the instrument
panel screen.
Switching off "Sport" automatic
mode
You can return to "Normal" automatic
mode at any time:
Push the thumbwheel A rearward once. Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
must engage position
P or N to place
the gearbox in neutral.
You must apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
The gear lever must be in position P
to
remove the ignition key.
Hill start assist
To assist you when starting on a
g r a d i e n t , y o u r v e h i c l e i s fi t t e d w i t h a
s y s t e m w h i c h i m m o b i l i s e s i t b r i e fl y
(approximately 2 seconds), the time re-
quired to move your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal. This func-
tion is only active when the vehicle has
been completely immobilised with your
foot on the brake pedal and on certain
gradients.
Do not get out of the vehicle during
the hill start
assist
temporary immo-
bilisation phase.
To immobilise the vehicle on a gradient
for a longer period, you must use the
parking brake, not the accelerator.
When starting on a gradient, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.

DRIVING
Operating anomaly Reverse gear
Flashing of the indicator
R in the instru-
ment panel screen, accompanied by an
audible signal, indicates a malfunction
on engaging the gear:
Press the brake pedal, position the gear
lever in position N and engage reverse
gear again.
With the ignition on, if this warning light
comes on, accompanied by vibration
in the pedals and the message "Main-
tenance required" on the instrument
panel display, this indicates a gearbox
malfunction.
If the message is displayed, carry out
the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe place,
- place the lever in position P or N ,
apply the handbrake and let the
engine run,
- open the bonnet to allow the engine to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or
appears frequently, contact a dealer of
the Marque without delay.
Overheating of the engine may
result in unwanted declutching of
the gearbox.

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
uneven terrain (risk of scraping
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
"2WD" (2 wheel drive) mode.
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
alternately 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.

Bonnet stay
OPENING THE BONNET
To close
Lower the bonnet and release it at the
end of its travel. Check that the bonnet
is properly latched.
From outside: move the safety catch
to the left then raise the bonnet. Secure the stay in its housing to hold
the bonnet open.
Before closing the bonnet, replace the
stay in its clip.
This operation must only be carried out
when the vehicle is stationary.
When the engine is hot, handle the ex-
terior safety catch and the bonnet stay
with care (risk of burns).
From inside: pull the release lever A ,
on the right-hand side below the door,
towards you. I f y o u r u n o u t o f f u e l , fi l l t h e t a n k a n d o p -

Several attempts may be needed be-
fore the engine re-starts.

CHECKING LEVELS CHECKING LEVELS Brake fluid level To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick. T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d b e

Coolant level
The coolant level must be
measured when the engine is
cold and should be between
the "LOW" and "FULL" marks.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.
