AUTOMATIC OPERATION
F Select position d for automatic changing of the six gears.
Never select position N while the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the vehicle is completely
stationary.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any
intervention on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable
gear according to the style of driving, the profile 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 selector, press the
accelerator 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
efficient
engine braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the gearbox will not change to a
higher gear for safety reasons.

EFUELLING
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached this warning
lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and an alert message. When it first comes on
there remains approximately 5 litres

of fuel in the tank.
Until

sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp appears every time
the ignition is switched on, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message. When driving, this audible signal and display of the alert
message

are repeated with increasing frequency as the fuel level drops
towards

"0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the "Running out of fue\
l
(Diesel)" section.
A


label

affixed to the inside of the flap reminds you of the type of fuel to
be used depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in order to be registere\
d by
the fuel gauge. T

o fill the tank in complete safety:
F the engine must be switched off,
F
press the rear part of the flap, then raise it to open it,
F

turn the cap to the left,
F


remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the
flap,
F

fill the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
pump; this could cause malfunctions.
Opening
the filler cap may create a noise a caused by an inrush
of air

. This vacuum is entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of
the fuel system.

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 fluid level
indicates that the brake pads are worn. For information on checking brake disc wear

, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of
equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as important as those
in
the braking system, PEUGEOT

selects and offers very specific
products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or in wintry conditions, ice
can

form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Make light brake applications to dry and defrost the
brakes.
PARKING BRAKE
If excessive travel or a loss of effectiveness of this system
is noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even
between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a PEUGEOT

dealer
or
a qualified workshop.
