speeds (heavy acceleration), a
change up will not occur unless
the driver operates electronic gearbox
system lever.

Changing to manual mode

Move the gear lever to M
.

Automatic mode

Changing to automatic
mode

Move the gear lever to A

The gearbox then functions in
automatic mode, without any action on
your part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best suited to the following conditions:


- driving style,

- road profi le,

- optimum fuel consumption.
Pull on the " +
" control
paddle to change up.
Pull on the " -
" control
paddle to change down.


- If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed (for example when
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically, to fi rst gear if
needed.

- It is not necessary to release the
accelerator completely during gear
changes.

- A request to change gear is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits it.

- For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may be performed automatically.

driving in unusual conditions.
When parking on a slope, direct your
wheels towards the pavement and pull
the parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging
a gear after parking the vehicle,
particularly if the vehicle is loaded.

Airbags



Good practice

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 strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualifi ed personnel of the PEUGEOT
network.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned are observed, a risk of
injury or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is
triggered cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag infl ates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this purpose.
Side airbags
Only put recommended covers on the
seats. These will not hinder infl ation of
the side airbags. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Do not fi x or glue anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the side airbag
infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place their
feet on the fascia, they risk serious
injury if the airbag is triggered.
Smoke as little as possible as
deployment of the airbags can cause
burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.

Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not operate.
The triggering of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
It is imperative that the passenger
airbag is disarmed if a child seat is
installed facing rearwards. Refer
to the "Children on board" section of
chapter 4.

Airbags



Front airbags

The front airbags are incorporated in
the centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the fascia for the front
passenger.

Activation
They are deployed simultaneously,
unless the passenger's front airbag
has been disarmed, in the event of a
serious front impact applied to all or
part of the front impact zone A in the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a horizontal plane directed from the
front towards the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between
the front occupant of the vehicle and
the fascia to cushion his forward
movement.
Disarming
The passenger's front airbag alone can
be disarmed:


- With the ignition switched off
,
insert the key into the passenger
airbag disarming switch,

- turn it to the "OFF" position,

- then remove the key keeping the
slot in this position.

The airbag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming.
If the two airbag warning lights
are lit continuously, do not install
a rear-facing child seat. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.


Front airbag fault
To ensure the safety of your
child, it is essential to disarm the
passenger airbag when you install
a rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the child
would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to infl ate.
Reactivation
In the "OFF" position, the passenger
airbag will not be triggered in the event
of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the airbag slot to the "ON"
position to re-activate the airbag
and thus ensure the safety of your
passenger in the event of an impact.
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
display, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system
checked.

Equipment

The fi tting of electrical equipment
or accessories which are not
recommended by PEUGEOT
may result in a failure of your vehicle's
electronic system. Please note this
specifi c warning. You are advised
to contact a dealer to be shown the
range of recommended equipment or
accessories.
Depending on the country in which
the vehicle is sold, it is compulsory to
have a high visibility jacket, warning
triangle and spare bulbs available in
the vehicle.
"Active Fleet Data" telematic unit
Connected directly to the heart of the
vehicle (multiplexed network: "Full
CAN"), the telematic unit, by means of
a "ready to use" service, permits the
sending in real time of information such
as:


- distance travelled,

- distance remaining before the next
service,

- warnings and faults (oil level,
coolant level, oil temperature,
coolant temperature, etc ...).
This enables "Fleet" managers
to optimise the monitoring and
management of their professional
vehicles.
Depending on country, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer for more information.
