warning lamps come on continu-
ously, do not install a child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.


Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible warning and
a message on the multifunction
screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked. The airbags
may no longer be triggered in the event
of a serious impact.






Knee airbag *

System which protects the driver's
knees in the event of a serious front im-
pact.
This airbag is incorporated in the dash-

bag warning lamps display for
approximately one minute, if the pas-
senger's front airbag is activated. To assure the safety of your child,
it is imperative that the passenger's
front airbag is deactivated when
you install a "rear facing" child seat
on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were triggered.
According to version, this warn-
ing lamp comes on either on
the instrument panel or on the
seat belt and passenger's front
airbag warning lamps display when the
ignition is on and until the airbag is re-
activated. If this warning lamp fl ashes,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
The passenger's front airbag
may no longer be triggered in
the event of a serious impact.
Deactivation

be deactivated:


)
with the ignition off
, insert the key
in the passenger airbag deactivation
switch,

)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,

)
then, remove the key keeping the
switch in the new position.

disappears and the
gears engaged appear in suc-
cession on the instrument
panel screen.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accel-
erator during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the
gearbox changes down automatically to
permit reacceleration of the vehicle in
the correct gear.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-
active mode, without any action on the
part of the driver. It continuously selects
the most suitable gear in relation to the
following parameters:


- style of driving,

- profi le of the road.
AUTO
and the gear engaged

The gearbox engages the gear request-
ed if the engine speed permits. AUTO
is
still displayed on the instrument panel.
After a few moments without any action
on the controls, the gearbox resumes
automatic control of the gears. At very low speed, if reverse gear
is requested, this will only be taken
into account when the vehicle is
immobilised. The Foot on brake

warning lamp may fl ash on the in-
strument panel to prompt you to
brake.
At high speed, if reverse gear is re-
quested, the N
indicator lamp will
fl ash and the gearbox will change
to neutral automatically. To engage
a gear again, return the lever to po-
sition A
or M
. On sharp acceleration, the gearbox
will not change up unless the driver
acts on the gear lever or the steer-
ing mounted controls.
Never select neutral N
while the
vehicle is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R
when
the vehicle is immobilised with the
brake pedal pressed. For optimum acceleration, for ex-
ample when overtaking another ve-
hicle, press the accelerator pedal
fi rmly past the point of resistance.

DRIVING

Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P
or N
to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle.

Operating fault

When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen, indicates a gearbox
malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
emergency mode and is 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 a speed of 60 mph
(100 km/h), local speed restrictions per-
mitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the lever from
position P
to another position
when the battery is fl at.


Manual operation



)
Select position M
for sequential

changing of the four or six gears.

)
Push the lever towards the +
sign to
change up a gear.

)
Pull the lever towards the -
sign to
change down a gear.

D
disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
In the event of under-revving
or over-revving, the gear se-
lected fl ashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed. If the lever is not in position P
,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, an audible
signal is heard and a message ap-
pears.


)
Return the lever to position P
;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selec-
tor between two positions).

It is possible to change from position D

(automatic) to position M
(manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode. To limit fuel consumption when sta-
tionary for long periods with the en-
gine running (traffi c jam...), place
the gear lever in position N
and ap-
ply the parking brake.

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.
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
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceed-
ed temporarily by pressing the accelera-
tor fi rmly.
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.

!
DRIVING
On a steep descent or in the event
of sharp acceleration, the speed
limiter will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- do not fi t one mat on top of
another.



Programming



)
Turn dial 1
to the "LIMIT"
position:
the speed limiter mode is selected
but is not switched on (OFF).
You do not have to switch the speed
limiter on in order to set the speed.

Exceeding the programmed speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed
speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal
fi rmly
past the point of resistance
.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the pro-
grammed speed, which is still displayed, fl ashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional
or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically
cancels the fl ashing of the programmed speed.


Return to normal driving



)
Turn dial 1
to the "0"
position: the speed limiter mode
is deselected. The display returns to the distance
recorder.



Operating fault

In the event of a speed limiter malfunc-
tion, the speed is cleared resulting in
fl ashing of the dashes.

Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

)
Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4
: the
display confi rms that it has been switched off (OFF).

)
Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4

again.


)
Set the speed value by pressing button 2
or 3
(e.g.: 55 mph
(90 km/h)).
You can then change the programmed speed using but-
tons 2
and 3
:


- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,

- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,

- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.


)
Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4
.
