FAMILIARISATION
ACCESS
Retractable roof
The operation of the roof is the ex-
clusive responsibility of the driver.
To avoid any risk of injury when
operating the roof, ensure that no
one is standing near the moving
parts.
You are strongly advised not to op-
erate the roof in strong winds. When washing your vehicle:
- lock the vehicle using the re-
mote control or the key,
- avoid spraying the upper part of the windows,
- keep the end of the high pres- sure nozzle at least 1 metre
from the windows and door
seals.
When the vehicle has been washed
or after rain, wait until the roof has
dried before opening it. It is preferable to operate the roof
with the engine running and the ve-
hicle stationary. Wait until the end of
operation message appears in the
multifunction screen before moving
off.
The operation can only be carried
out when moving if the speed is be-
low 6 mph (10 km/h), and you are
driving smoothly on level ground.
Preliminary conditions
Start the engine
You must ensure that:
- the electric windows are initialised (see the corresponding section),
- the ambient temperature is higher than -15 °C.
Precautions to be taken before
operating the roof
Park the vehicle on level ground.
Check that no objects could hinder
the operation of the roof:
- nothing should be placed on the moving rear shelf 1 , on the boot
screen 2 or on the side trims 3 ,
- if luggage is transported in the boot, it must not lift the boot
screen,
- any objects, such as a jacket or umbrella, placed in the boot, must
be secured using the luggage re-
taining net 4 .
Check that the boot screen 2 is se-
cured fi rmly.
Close the boot correctly.
After the roof has been operated
fully four times in succession, the
system switches to protection
mode temporarily to avoid dam-
age to the roof motors. Let the
system rest for approximately ten
minutes; if you are unable to oper-
ate the roof after this time, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

DRIVING
"PORSCHE TIPTRONIC SYSTEM" AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Six speed automatic gearbox which of-
fers a choice between the comfort of
fully automatic operation, enhanced by
sport and snow programmes, or manual
gear changing.
There are two driving modes:
- automatic operation for electronic management of the gears by the
gearbox, with the sport programme
for a more dynamic driving style or
the snow programme to facilitate
driving when grip is poor.
- manual operation for sequential changing of the gears by the driver.
Gear lever positions
P. Park.
- Immobilisation of the vehicle, park- ing brake on or off.
- Starting the engine.
R. Reverse.
- Reversing manoeuvres, vehicle sta- tionary, engine at idle.
N. Neutral.
- Immobilisation of the vehicle, park- ing brake on.
- Starting the engine.
D. Automatic operation.
M. + / - Manual operation with sequen- tial changing of the six gears.

DRIVING
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 a
message in the screen.
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 then moves off.
If position N is engaged inadver-
tently while driving, allow the en-
gine to return to idle then engage
position D to accelerate.
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 . A message is displayed if you try
to move the gear lever from posi-
tion
P without pressing the brake
pedal.
Automatic operation
Select position D for automatic
changing of the six gears.
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.
D and the gears selected automatically
appear in succession in the instrument
panel.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the lever, press the accelera-
tor 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. Never select position
N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R un-
less the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary. Sport and snow programmes
These two special programmes supple-
ment the automatic operation in very
specifi c conditions of use.
Sport programme "S"
Press button "S" , after starting the
engine.
The gearbox automatically favours a
dynamic style of driving.
S 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.

DRIVING
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.
Manual operation
Select position M for sequential
changing of the six gears.
Push the lever towards the + sign to
change up a gear.
Pull the lever towards the - sign to
change down a gear.
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.
M and the gears engaged
manually 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 actual 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. Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).
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 lever from posi- tion P to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption during
a long period stationary with the
engine running (traffi c jam, etc.),
place the gear lever in position N
and apply the parking brake.
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, there is
an audible signal is heard accom-
panied by a message.
Return the lever to position P ;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears. When the ignition is on, the il-
lumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
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
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
