of integral automatic operation ,
enhanced by a sport and a snow
program, or manual gear changing .
Gear selection gate
F
Move the lever in the gate to se-
lect a position.
The indicator light corresponding to
the position selected appears on the
instrument panel screen.
Park: to immobilise the vehicle and
to start the engine , with the hand-
brake on or off.
Reverse: to reverse (select this
position with the vehicle stationary,
engine at idle).
Neutral: to start the engine and to
park , with the handbrake on.
If position N is inadvertently engaged
while driving, allow the engine to re-
turn to idle before engaging position
D to accelerate.
Drive: for driving in automatic
mode.
Manual: for selection of gears.
S: sport program.
T
: snow program.
Starting the engine
F with the handbrake on, select po-
sition P or N in the gate,
F turn the ignition key to the Start
position.
Moving Off
With the engine running, to move off
from position P:
F it is essential to press the brake
pedal to exit position P,
F select position R, D or M, then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
You can also move off from position

Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four
gears:
F select position D in the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the follo-
wing parameters:
- the road proile,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any ac-
tion on your part.
WARNING
Never select position N when the ve-
hicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery sur-
face.
Notes
For immediate maximum accelera-
tion without touching the gear lever,
press the accelerator pedal down as
far as it will go (kickdown). The gear-
box will automatically change down
or maintain the gear selected until
maximum engine speed is reached.
When the brake is applied, the gear-
box will automatically change down
in order to provide eficient engine
braking. If you take your foot off the accele-
rator suddenly, the gearbox will not
change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety.

Applying
Pull the handbrake to immobilise
your vehicle.
Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the but-
ton to release the handbrake.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indi-
cated by an audible signal, accom-
panied by the message 'Automatic
gear fault' on the multi-function
display and lashing of the Sport and
Snow warning lights on the instru-
ment panel display.
In this situation the gearbox operates
in downgrade mode (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),
respecting local speed limits.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
If the battery is lat and the
lever is in position P, it will
be impossible to change
to another position.
In particular, do not force the lever
or there is a risk the gearbox may
be damaged. Illumination of this warning
light and of the
STOP warn-
ing light, accompanied by
an audible signal (while the
vehicle is being driven) and
the message "handbrake on" on
the multi-function display, indicates
that the handbrake is still on or has
not been properly released.
When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the
handbrake.
The handbrake must not be used
to stop or brake while the vehicle
is moving.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and manoe-
vrability of your vehicle on braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system ena-
bles the optimum braking pressure
to be reached more quickly, thus re-
ducing the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The ef-
fect of this is a reduction in the resist-
ance of the pedal and an increase in
braking eficiency.
In the event of emergency braking,
depending on the force of the de-
celeration, the hazard warning lights
are switched on automatically. They
are switched off automatically on ac-
celeration.
When this warning light co-
mes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and the message
"ABS fault" , it indicates that
there is a malfunction of the ABS,
which can cause a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking. When this warning light co-
mes on, connected to the STOP and
ABS warning
lights, accompanied by a
buzzer and the message 'Braking
fault' , it indicates that there is a mal-
function of the electronic brake force
distribution, which can cause a loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very irmly without releasing
the pressure.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing on the brakes of the drive wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course. Disarming the ASR/ESP systems
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
F
Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-
cated under the steering wheel to
the left. Operating check
The ASR/ESP systems
offer exceptional safety
in normal driving, but this
should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components and the
electronic components and the
PEUGEOT assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these
systems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on, ac-
companied by a message on
the multifunction display: the
ASR and ESP systems are disarmed.
These are triggered again:
F automatically if the ignition is swit-
ched off,
F manually by pressing the switch
again. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
light lashes and the warning
light comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.
The warning light lashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated.
