TYRE UNDER-INFLATION 
DETECTION 
 System which automatically checks the 
pressure of the tyres while driving.    All repairs and changing of tyres on 
a wheel fi tted with this system must 
be carried out by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. 
 If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected 
by  your  vehicle  (example:  fi tting 
of snow tyres), you must have the 
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.  
  This system does not eliminate 
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to the 
"Identifi cation markings" section) to 
ensure that the optimum dynamic 
performance of the vehicle is main-
tained and prevent premature wear 
of the tyres, particularly in arduous 
driving conditions (heavy load, high 
speed). 
 The tyre pressures must be checked 
cold, at least once a month. Re-
member to check the pressure of the 
spare wheel. 
 The  tyre  under-infl ation  detection 
system may experience temporary 
interference due to electro-magnetic 
signals on a frequency close to that 
used by the system.   
  Sensors  fi tted  in  each  valve  trigger  a 
warning in the event of malfunction. The 
speed has to be above 12 mph (20 km/h).  
  Flat  tyre 
 A message appears in the multifunction 
screen, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal, to locate the wheel concerned. 
      Check the tyre pressures as soon 
as  possible.  
 This check must be carried out when 
the tyres are cold.    This warning lamp and the  
STOP  
warning lamp come on in the in-
strument panel, accompanied by 
an audible signal and a message 
in the multifunction screen locat-
ing the wheel concerned. 
      Stop immediately, avoiding any sud- den movement of the steering wheel 
and the brakes. 
     Change the damaged wheel (punc- tured  or  very  defl ated  tyre),  and 
have the tyre pressure checked as 
soon  as  possible.   
  Puncture 
  The  tyre  under-infl ation  detection 
system is an aid to driving which 
does not replace the need for the 
driver to be vigilant or to drive re-
sponsibly.       Sensor(s) not detected or faulty 
 A message appears in the multifunction 
screen, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal, to locate the wheel or wheels which 
are not detected or to indicate a fault in 
the system. 
 Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed  workshop  to  replace  the  faulty 
sensor(s).  
  This message is also displayed 
when one of the wheels is away 
from the vehicle (being repaired) or 
when one or more wheels without a 
sensor are fi tted. 
 The  spare  wheel  is  not  fi tted  with 
a  sensor.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX 
 Four-speed automatic gearbox which 
offers a choice between the comfort of 
fully automatic operation, enhanced by 
sport and snow programmes, or manual 
gear changing. 
 There are therefore four driving modes: 
   -    automatic  operation for electronic management of the gears by the 
gearbox, 
  -    sport  programme for a more dy- namic style of driving, 
  -    snow  programme to improve driv- ing when traction is poor, 
  -    sequential  operation for manual  changing of the gears by the driver.

  Moving  off 
      Apply the parking brake. 
     Select position  P  or  N . 
     Start  the  engine.  
 If this procedure is not followed, there is 
an audible signal, accompanied by the 
display of an warning message. 
      With the engine running, press the  brake pedal. 
     Release the parking brake. 
     Select position   R ,   D  or  M . 
     Gradually release the brake pedal.  
 The vehicle moves off immediately. 
  If  position   N  is selected inadver-
tently while driving, allow the en-
gine to return to idle then select 
position   D  to accelerate. 
 If the ambient temperature is below 
-23°C, the engine should be left at 
idle for four minutes, to ensure the 
correct operation and life of the en-
gine and gearbox.    The gearbox then operates in auto-
adaptive mode, without any intervention 
on the part of the driver. It continuously 
selects the most suitable gear accord-
ing  to  the  style  of  driving,  the  profi le  of 
the road and the load in the vehicle. 
  Automatic  operation 
     Select position  
D  for  automatic  
changing of the four gears.  
    appears in the instrument 
panel.   
  Snow  programme  "  " 
      Press button " 
 ", after starting the 
engine.  
 The gearbox adapts to driving on slip-
pery roads. 
 This programme improves starting and 
drive when traction is poor.    S  appears in the instrument 
panel.  
  Sport  programme  "S" 
      Press button  
"S" , after starting the 
engine.  
 The gearbox automatically favours a 
dynamic style of driving. 
  Never select position   N  while the 
vehicle is moving. 
 Never select positions   P  or  R   un-
less the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary.   
  When the engine is running at idle, 
with the brakes released, if posi-
tion  
R ,   D   or   M  is selected, the vehicle 
moves even without the accelerator 
being pressed. 
 When the engine is running, never 
leave children in the vehicle without 
supervision. 
 When carrying out maintenance with 
the engine running, apply the park-
ing brake and select position   P .   
  Sport and snow programmes 
 These two special programmes supple-
ment the automatic operation in very 
specifi c conditions of use. 
  Return to automatic operation 
      At any time, press the button select-
ed again to quit the programme en-
gaged and return to auto-adaptive 
mode.   
 For maximum acceleration without 
touching the gear lever, press the accel-
erator pedal down fully (kick down). The 
gearbox changes down automatically 
or maintains the gear selected until the 
maximum engine speed is reached. 
 On braking, the gearbox changes down 
automatically to provide effi cient engine 
braking. 
 If you release the accelerator sharply, 
the gearbox will not change to a higher 
gear for safety reasons.

  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 
  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 movement of  the gear lever from the   P   posi-
tion to another position when 
the battery is fl at.  
 To reduce fuel consumption when 
at a prolonged standstill with the 
engine  running  (traffi c  jam...),  put 
the gear lever in the   N  position and 
apply the parking brake.   
  Manual  operation 
     Select position   M  for  sequential  
changing of the four 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 in the instrument panel. 
 If the engine speed is too low 
or too high, the gear selected 
fl ashes for a few seconds, then the ac-
tual gear engaged is displayed. 
 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.    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, a warning 
message appears in the screen. 
      Return the lever to position   P ; 
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 
(selector between two posi-
tions).     When the ignition is on, the 
lighting of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by an audible 
signal and a message in the 
multifunction screen, indicates a gear-
box fault. 
 In this case, the gearbox switches to 
back-up 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 60 mph (100 km/h), local 
speed restrictions permitting. 
 Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop as soon as possible. 
 When  driving  on  fl ooded  roads  or 
when crossing a ford, proceed at 
walking  pace.

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   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, sim-
ply slow down to a speed below the pro-
grammed speed. 
 The programmed speed remains in the 
memory when the ignition is switched off.   The controls of this system are grouped 
together on stalk

 On a steep descent, the speed lim-
iter 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 secured correctly, 
  -   do not fi t one mat on top of an- other.   
  Programming 
      Turn dial   1  to the  "LIMIT"   position: 
the speed limiter mode is selected 
but is not switched on (OFF).  
  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 intention-
al 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 mal-
function, the speed is cleared result-
ing in fl ashing of the dashes. Contact a 
PEUGEOT  dealer  or  a  qualifi ed  work-
shop to have the system checked. 
  You do not have to switch the 
speed limiter on in order to set the 
speed. 
     Set the speed value by pressing button   2  or  3   (e.g.: 
70 mph (110 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 . 
     Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button   4 : the dis-
play confi rms that it has been switched off (OFF).

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 a manual gearbox, 
  -   second gear on an automatic gear- box in sequential mode, 
  -   position   D  on an 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

 When the cruise control is switched 
on, be careful if you maintain the 
pressure on one of the programmed 
speed changing buttons: this may 
result in a very rapid change in the 
speed of your vehicle. 
 Do not use the cruise control on 
slippery roads or in heavy traffi c. 
 On a steep descent, the cruise 
control will not be able to prevent 
the vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed. 
 To avoid any risk of jamming of the
