of integral automatic operation ,
enhanced by a sport and a snow pro-
gramme, or manual gear changing .
Gear selection gate
F 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
position with the vehicle stationary,
engine 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.

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 follow -
ing parameters:
- the road proile,
- 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
changing of the four gears:
F select position M in the gate,
F push the lever to the + sign to
change to a higher gear,
F 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 (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. Sport and snow programmes
In addition to the auto-adaptive
programme, there are two special
programmes.
The programme is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
Sport programme

When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox
automatically selects gear M1.
Programmes S (sport) and T (snow)

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
F Place the dial 1 in the LIMIT
position. The limiter is not yet
active. By default, the display
indicates: Storing a speed
A speed can be stored without acti
-
vating the limiter.
Press buttons 2 and 3 briely to de -
crease or increase by 1 mph (1 km/h).
An extended press decreases or
increases by 5 mph (5 km/h).
A maintained press decreases or
increases the programmed speed in
steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Activating/deactivating the limiter
Pressing button 4 once activates the
limiter, pressing the button again de -
activates it.
When the limiter is active, the display

CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never ill past this mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Note: avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin. Empty
the used oil into the containers intend-
ed for this purpose in the PEUGEOT
network.
Brake fluid level:
The brake luid must be changed ac -
cording to the manufacturer's servic-
ing schedule.
Use luids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulil DOT4
standards.
Note: brake luid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin. Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake luid
or coolant into drains or onto the
ground.
Dipstick
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments. Cooling system
Use the luid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem
-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can ope-
rate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re -
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
For vehicles equipped with a
particle ilter, the engine fan may
operate after the ignition has been
switched off, even when the en-
gine is cold. Power steering reservoir
F
Open the reservoir, with the
engine at ambient temperature.
The level should always be
above the MIN. mark and close
to the MAX. mark.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products recommended by PEUGEOT.
For optimum cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this luid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.
Oil level
F
Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.

CHECKS
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT
or products of equivalent
quality and speciications.
To ensure best perfor-
mance from components as im-
portant as the power steering and
the braking system, PEUGEOT
selects and offers quite speciic
products.
To prevent damage to the electri-
cal units, avoid washing the en -
gine.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is neces -
sary to re-prime the circuit:
- ill the fuel tank with at least ive litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe
under the bonnet,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
It may be necessary to check the
thickness of the pads, even between
services.
Disc wear status
For any information relating to check-
ing the disc wear status, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer. Oil filter
Change the ilter regularly, in accor-
dance with the servicing schedule.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the ilter elements replaced reg -
ularly. If you drive in dusty condi-
tions, change them twice as often.
Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil change.
Check the level in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and cer-
tain components, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule, refer to the pages of
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle's engine.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat
-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
