AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions; they
work in conjunction with the force
limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision,
the electronic detectors record and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle: if the triggering threshold
is reached, the air bags inlate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the
air bags delate rapidly, so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their possible exit
from the vehicle.
The air bags will not be deployed in
collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is suficient to
provide maximum protection. The
seriousness of the collision depends
on the nature of the obstacle and the
speed of the vehicle at the moment
of impact.
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 air bag is
disarmed.
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 a
rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the air bag were
to inlate.
F With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1, turn
it to the "OFF" position, then re-
move the key keeping the switch
in this position.
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by a
buzzer and a message on
the multifunction display,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.

In the "OFF" position, the passenger
air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag switch to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bag
and thus ensure the safety of your
passenger in the event of an impact.SIDE AIR BAGS
The side air bags are incorporated in
the backs of the front seats, on the
door side.
They are deployed independently of
each other, on whichever side the
collision occurs.
If the passenger air bag
disarming warning light
lashes, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
In the event of permanent
lighting of the two air bag warning
lights, do not install a rear facing
child seat. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer. With the ignition on, this is
conirmed by illumination
of this warning light which
indicates that the passenger
air bag is disarmed (switch
in the
"OFF" position).
The warning light is lit throughout the
duration of disarming. If this indicator light comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multi-function dis-
play, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system checked.

For the front and side air
bags to be fully effective,
observe the following
safety rules:
• Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
• Sit in a normal upright position.
• Do not leave anything between the occupants and the air bags (a child,
pet, object).
This could hamper the operation of the air bags or injure the occu-
pants.
• All work on the air bag systems is strictly forbidden unless it is carried
out by qualiied personnel of the
PEUGEOT network.
• After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into,
have the air bag systems checked. Front air bags
• Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting your
hands on the centre part of the
wheel.
• Passengers must not place their feet on the fascia.
• Smoke as little as possible, deploy- ment of the air bags can cause
burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or a pipe.
• Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently. Side air bags
• Only put approved covers on the
front seats. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
• Do not ix or glue anything to the front seat backs. This could cause
injury to the chest or arms when the
side air bag inlates.
• Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

Moving off
With the engine running, to move off
from position P:
F
it is essential to press the brake
pedal,
F release the handbrake,
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 posi-
tion
N.
When the engine is at
idle, brakes not applied,
if position
R, D or M
is selected the vehicle
moves even without the
accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave
children unsupervised inside the
vehicle, with the engine running .
If the lever is not in position P,
an audible signal is heard and a
message appears when the driver's
door is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is
switched off. Move the lever to P.
The audible signal stops and the
message disappears. When maintenance opera-
tions need to be carried out
with the engine running,
apply the handbrake and
select position
P. 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
surface.
Sport and snow programmes
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
F Press button S once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox automatically favours
sporty driving and more dynamic
acceleration.
Snow programme
This programme improves starting
and drive when traction is poor.
F Press button T once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox adapts to driving on
slippery roads.
Note: you can return to the auto-
adaptive programme at any time.
F Press button S or T again to
switch off the programme you are
in.
Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four
gears:
F select position D in the gate.
The gearbox automatically adapts
the gear in relation to the style of
driving, the road proile and the
vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any
action on your part.
For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever, press
the accelerator pedal down as far as
it will go (kickdown). The gearbox
will automatically change down or
maintain the gear selected until
maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox will
automatically change down in order
to provide eficient engine braking.
If you take your foot off the acce-
lerator 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.
Invalid value during manual
operation Notes
It is only possible to change from
one gear to another if the vehicle
speed and engine speed permit. If
they do not, the vehicle will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
In the event of under-revving or over-
revving, the gear selected lashes for
a few seconds, then the actual gear
engaged is displayed.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox
automatically selects gear
M1.
Programme S (sport) and T (snow)
do not operate in manual mode.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality
is indicated by the display-
ing of this warning light, an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multi-function
display.
In this situation the gearbox operates
in downgrade mode (locked in
3
rd 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),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
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.
Above all, do not force the lever
as there is a risk of damage to the
automatic gearbox.
This is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).

It enables the vehicle to maintain a
steady speed programmed by the
driver.
In order for it to be memorised or
activated, the vehicle speed must
be greater than 25 mph (40 km/h)
with at least fourth gear engaged
for vehicles itted with a manual
