Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P or N to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the handbrake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is pro-
grammed to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning light,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction display, indicates
a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
emergency mode and is 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), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This warning light may also come on if a
door is opened.
I f t h e b a t t e r y i s fl a t a n d t h e l e -
ver is in position P , it will not
be possible to change to an-
other position.
Above all, do not force the lever as
this could damage the gearbox.
Never press the brake and accelera-
tor pedals at the same time. Brake or
accelerate using the right foot only.
Pressing both pedals simultaneously
could damage the gearbox.
Manual operation
Select position M for sequential
changing of the six gears.
Push the lever towards the + sign to
change up a gear.
Pull the lever towards the - sign to
change down a gear.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
If the lever is not in position
P , when the driver's door
is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is
switched off, an audible signal is
heard and a message appears.
Return the lever to position P ; the
audible signal stops and the mes-
sage disappears.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selec-
tor between two positions).
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1 automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
In the event of under-revving or over-
r e v v i n g , t h e g e a r s e l e c t e d fl a s h e s f o r a
few seconds, then the actual gear en-
gaged is displayed.

BONNET
Protects the components of the engine
and provides access for checking levels.
Push the exterior control B to the left
and raise the bonnet.
Unclip the strut C from its housing.
Fix the strut in the notch to hold the
bonnet open. Closing
Take the strut out of the support
notch.
Clip the strut in its housing.
Lower the bonnet and release it at
the end of its travel.
Pull on the bonnet to check that it is
secured correctly.
Opening
Open the front left door.
Pull the interior control A , located at
the bottom of the door frame. The location of the interior
control prevents opening of
the bonnet while the front left
door is closed.

In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the
ignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator on the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the consump-
tion should not exceed 0.5 litre per
600 miles (1,000 km). T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d b e
