GEARBOX
The four speed automatic gearbox
offers a choice between the comfort
of integral automatic operation , en-
hanced by a sport and a snow pro-
gram, or manual gear changing .
Gear selection gate
 Move the lever in the gate to
select a position.
The indicator light corresponding to the position selected appears
on the instrument panel screen.
P ark: to immobilise the vehicle and
to start the engine , with the hand-
brake on or off.
R everse: to reverse (select this po-
sition with the vehicle stationary, en-
gine at idle).
N eutral: 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.
D rive: for driving in automatic
mode. M anual: for selection of gears.
S : sport program.
: snow program.
Moving Off
With the engine running, to move off
from position P:
 it is essential to press the brake
pedal to exit position P,
 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 N:
 release the handbrake, with your
foot on the brake,
 select position R, D or M, then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
Starting the engine
 with the handbrake on, select
position P or N in the gate,
 turn the ignition key to the Start
position. WARNING
When the engine is at idle, brakes not
applied, if position
R, D or M is select-
ed, the vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave chil-
dren unsupervised inside the ve-
hicle, with the engine running.
When maintenance operations need
to be carried out with the engine run-
ning, apply the handbrake and select
position P.

Driving126 -
Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four
gears:
 select position D in the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the follow-
ing parameters:
- the road profile,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any ac-
tion on your part. If you take your foot off the accel-
erator suddenly, the gearbox will not
change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety.
Manual operation
Manual

 select position M in the gate,
 push the lever to the + sign to
change to a higher gear,
 pull the lever to the - sign to
change to a lower gear.
You can change from position D
(driving in automatic mode) to posi-
tion M (driving in manual mode) at
any time.
WARNING
Never select position N when the
vehicle 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 (kick down). 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

SPEED LIMITER*
This speed limiter, of the new gener-
ation, has a display on the instrument
panel to indicate the programmed
speed.
It prevents exceeding of the vehicle
speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed is
reached, pressing the accelerator
pedal no longer has any effect.
The limiter operates with a pro-
grammed speed of at least 18 mph
approx. (30 km/h); it remains active
regardless of any action on the brake
and clutch pedals.
The operating actions must be
carried out:
- when stationary, with the engine running,
or
- with the vehicle moving. The indicator light on the in-
strument panel comes on at
the same time.Instrument panel display
When the speed limiter function is
active, pressing this button displays
the distance recorders.
After a few seconds or when this but-
ton is pressed again, the display re-
turns to the speed limiter function.
Selecting the function

Place the dial 1 in the LIMIT posi-
tion. The limiter is not yet active.
By default, the display indicates: Storing a speed

Exceeding the programmed
speed
Pressing the accelerator in order to
exceed the programmed speed will
have no effect unless you press the
pedal firmly beyond the point of re-
sistance .
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed, which is
still displayed, flashes (e.g. at 70 mph
(110 km/h)):
Note: the speed also flashes when
the limiter cannot prevent the vehi-
cle from exceeding the programmed
speed (on a steep descent, in the
event of sharp acceleration).
To reactivate the limiter, release the
accelerator to slow down to a speed
below the programmed speed. Switching the function off

Place dial 1 in position 0 or switch
off the ignition to switch the sys-
tem off. The last programmed
speed remains in the memory.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
Operating fault
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the programmed speed is cleared
and the indication below appears:
In the event of a steep de-
scent or sharp accelera-
tion, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the
vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
In any event, the speed limiter can-
not replace the need to observe
speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance and responsibil-
ity on the part of the driver.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly.
- never fit one mat on top of an- other.

CRUISE CONTROL*
This cruise control, of the new gener-
ation, has a display on the instrument
panel to indicate the memorised ref-
erence speed.
It enables the vehicle to maintain a
steady speed programmed by the
driver.
In order for it to be memorised or ac-
tivated, the vehicle speed must be
greater than 24 mph approx. (40 km/h)
with at least fourth gear engaged for
vehicles fitted with a manual gear-
box.
On vehicles fitted with an automatic
gearbox, the lever must be in position
D at a speed greater than 24 mph ap-
prox. (40 km/h), or in at least second
gear in sequential mode. The indicator light on the
instrument panel comes on
at the same time.
Instrument panel display
When the cruise control function is
activated, pressing this button ena-
bles you to display the distance re-
corders.
After a few seconds or when this but-
ton is pressed again, the display re-
turns to the cruise control function.

The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph
(110 km/h)):
It is also possible to reactivate the
cruise control by pressing button 2 or
3 . The memorised speed will then be
the speed at which the vehicle was
travelling when the cruise control
was reactivated.
Changing the memorised
reference speed
To memorise a speed higher than the
previous one, there are two options:
Without using the accelerator:
 press button 3;
A brief press increases by 1 mph
(1 km/h).
An extended press increases by
5 mph (5 km/h).

reference speed
 When the vehicle becomes station-
ary, after switching off the ignition,
the system no longer memorises a
speed.
Switching the function off
 Place dial 1 in position 0 to switch
the system off. Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control mal-
function, the memorised speed is
erased, the dashes flash for a few
seconds:
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
When changing the memo-
rised reference speed by
means of a maintained press,
pay attention as the speed
can increase or decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
In the event of a steep slope, the
cruise control cannot prevent the
vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed.
In any event, the cruise control
cannot replace the need to ob-
serve the speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is
positioned correctly.
- never fit one mat on top of another.

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 mano-
evrability 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 reduc-
ing 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 efficiency.
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
acceleration.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message,
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
comes on, connected to the
STOP
warning light, accom-
panied by a buzzer and a
message, it indicates that there is a
malfunction 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 firmly without releasing the
pressure.
