To be effective, a seat belt must be tightened as closeto the body as possible. Depending on the nature
and the seriousness of the impact, the pre-tensioners may be trig-gered before and independently ofthe air bags. In all cases of an air bag being triggered, the air bag warning lighton the instrument panel comes on. After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

P ark :to immobilise the vehicle or start the engine ,
with the handbrake on or off.

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 function R, D or M, then
gradually release the pressureon the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
You can also move off from position N:
 release the handbrake, with yourfoot on the brake,
 select function R, D or M, then
gradually release the pressureon the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
WARNING When the engine is at idle, brakes not applied, if function R, D or Mis select-
ed the vehicle moves even withoutthe accelerator being pressed. For this reason, do not leave chil-
dren unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the engine running .
When maintenance operations needto be carried out with the engine run-ning, apply the handbrake and selectposition P.
"PORSCHE TIPTRONIC SYSTEM" AUTOMATIC GEARBOX The four speed automaticgearbox offers a choice between the comfort of
integral automatic operation , enhanced by a sport and a snowprogramme,
or the pleasure of manual gear changing .
Gear selection gate  Move the lever in the gate to select a function. Once the function is selected, the corresponding indicator light appears on
the instrument panel display.

29-09-2003
Automatic operation Automatic changing of the four
gears :
 select function Din the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most suitable gear according to the follow-ing parameters:
– the style of driving,
– the road profile,
– the vehicle load. The gearbox is then operating in auto-adaptive mode, without anyaction on your part.
WARNING Never select function Nwhen the
vehicle is moving. Never select functions Por Runless
the vehicle is stationary.Never change between functions to optimise braking on a slippery surface. 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 downor maintain the gear selected untilmaximum engine speed is reached. When braking, the gearbox will auto- matically change down in order to
provide efficient engine braking. If you take your foot off the accelera-
tor suddenly, the gearbox will notchange to a higher gear for reasons
of safety.
Sport and snow programme In addition to the auto-adaptive pro- gramme, there are two special pro-grammes. The programme is displayed on the instrument panel screen. Sport programme  Press button Sonce the vehicle
has been started and function D
selected.
The gearbox automatically favours sporty driving and more dynamicacceleration. Snow programme This programme improves starting
and drive when traction is poor.  Press button once the vehicle
has been started and function D
selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery roads. Note: you can return to the auto-
adaptive programme at any time.  Press button Sor again to
switch off the programme you are in. Manual operation Manual changing of the
four gears:
 select function Min the gate,
 push the lever to the +sign to
change to a higher gear,
 pull the lever to the Ðsign 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. Note It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speedand engine speed permit. If they donot, the vehicle will operate tem-porarily in automatic mode. When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearboxautomatically selects gear M1.
Programme S(sport) and (snow)
do not operate in manual mode.

AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupantsin the event of serious collisions.They work in conjunction with the
force-limiting seat belts. The elec-tronic detectors register and analyseany abrupt deceleration of the vehicle:if the triggering threshold is reached,the air bags inflate instantly and pro-tect the occupants of the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air bags deflate rapidly so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The air bags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are not serious, for which the seat belt is suf-ficient to ensure maximum protec-
tion. The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obstacleand the speed of the vehicle at themoment of the collision. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. FRONT AIR BAGS These are folded in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,except in cases where the passengerair bag is disarmed. Front air bag fault
If this warning light comes on, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-sage "Air bag fault" on the
multifunction display, con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer to have thesystem checked. Disarming the passenger air bag*
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the pas-senger air bag when you install arear-facing child seat on the frontpassenger seat. Otherwise, thechild would risk being killed orseriously injured if the air bagwere to inflate. 
With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger air bag disarming switch 1, turn it
to the "OFF"position, then
remove the key keeping the slotin this position.
The air bag warning light on theinstrument panel is lit throughout thedisarming process.
* According to destination.
