a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear.

and from N
to R
.
This will not cause any damage to the
gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

The parking sensor system
cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part
of the driver. The parking sensors are switched off
:
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been station-
ary for more than three seconds in
forward gear.
Deactivation
Operating fault
The system will be deacti-
vated automatically when a

comes on, the system is fully deacti-
vated. In bad weather or in winter, en-
sure that the sensors are not
covered with mud, ice or snow.
When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates
that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h), certain sources of noise
(motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic
drills, ...) may trigger the parking sen-
sor audible signals.
If an operating fault occurs,
this warning lamp is displayed
in the instrument panel and/
or a message appears in
the multifunction screen, ac-
companied by an audible signal (short
beep), when reverse gear is engaged.

fi ed workshop.
CHECKS

Brake disc wear
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Manual gearbox

quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for
the details of the level checking
interval for this component.
6-speed electronic
gearbox system
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the checking in-
terval for this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil

Particle emission filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle emission fi l-
ter must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
On a new vehicle, the fi rst few
particle emissions fi lter regenera-
tions may be accompanied by a
"burning" smell, which is perfectly nor-
mal. Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice water vapour from the exhaust
on acceleration. This does not affect the
performance of the vehicle or the envi-
ronment.
Dust filter/Anti-odour filter
(activated carbon)
Your vehicle is fi tted with a fi lter which
traps certain dust and limits odours in
the ventilation and air conditioning.
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for its replacement interval.
Do not hesitate to change it if you notice
unpleasant odours, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter may reduce the performance of the air
conditioning system and produce un-
pleasant odours.
