   The alert is given by the fi xed 
illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by an audible signal, 
and depending on equipment, the 
display of a message.  
  Under-inflation  alert 
  In the event of a problem on one of the 
tyres, the symbol or the message appears, 
according to equipment, to identify it. 
   -   Reduce  speed,  avoid  sudden  steering movements or harsh brake applications. 
  -   Stop as soon as it is safe to do so. 
  -   In the event of a puncture, use the  temporary puncture repair kit or the 
spare wheel (according to equipment),  
 or 
  -   if you have a compressor, the one in  the temporary puncture repair kit for 
example, check the four tyre pressures 
when  cold,  
 or 
  -   if it is not possible to check the tyre  pressures at the time, drive carefully at 
reduced  speed.      The loss of pressure detected does not 
always lead to visible deformation of 
the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.  
  The alert is maintained until the tyre or 
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired 
or replaced. 
 The spare wheel (space-saver type or a 
steel rim) does not have a sensor.   
  Operating  fault 
  The fl ashing and then fi xed 
illumination of the under-infl ation 
warning lamp accompanied by the 
illumination of the "service" warning 
lamp, and depending on equipment, the display 
of a message indicates a fault with the system. 
 In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is 
not  assured.  
  This alert is also displayed when one or 
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor 
(for example, a space-saver or steel spare 
wheel).  
  Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked or, 
following the repair of a puncture, to have 
the original wheel, equipped with a sensor, 
refitted.

  Moving  off 
 With the engine running, to move off from 
position  P . 
 For immediate maximum acceleration 
without touching the gear lever, 
depress the accelerator pedal to the 
extent of its travel, passing the point of 
resistance (kickdown). The gearbox will 
automatically change down or maintain the 
gear selected until maximum engine speed 
is reached. 
 On a descent, the gearbox will automatically 
change down in order to provide efficient 
engine braking and good pickup. 
 If you take your foot off the accelerator 
suddenly, the gearbox will not change to a 
higher gear for reasons of safety. 
 When stationary with the gear lever in 
position   D  (drive), a vibration limiting device 
is activated by pressing the brake pedal.  
  -   gradually  release  the 
pressure on the brake pedal; 
the vehicle then moves off.   
   -   Press  the  brake  pedal  to 
come out of position   P , 
  -   select  position   R   or  D , 
  -   gradually  release  the  pressure on the brake pedal; 
the vehicle then moves off.  
 You can also move off from position   N . 
   -   With  your  foot  on  the brake, release 
the parking brake, 
  -   select  position   R  ,   D  or   M , 
    -   Select  position   D  .   The gearbox always selects the most 
suitable gear taking account of the following: 
   -   the  style  of  driving, 
  -   the  road  profile, 
  -   the  vehicle  load.  
 The gearbox is then operating in auto-
adaptive mode, without any action on 
your part. 
  Reverse  gear 
   -   Select  position   R
 , with the 
vehicle stationary and the 
engine at idle.   
  Stopping the vehicle, starting the 
engine 
   -   Select  position   P    to 
  immobilise the vehicle   or 
to   start the engine , with the 
parking brake on or off.  
 If the battery is flat and the gear lever 
is in position   P , it will be impossible to 
change to another position. 
   -   You can also select position   N  
to   park  or to   start the 
engine , with the parking 
brake  on.  
 If position   N  is engaged inadvertently 
while driving, allow the engine to return 
to idle before engaging position   D  to restore 
drive.
