SAFETY
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants and the air bags (a child, pet, object...). This could hamper the operati on
of the air bags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the air bag systems checked.
All work on the air bag system is strictly forbidden unless it i s carried out by qualii ed personnel of the PEUGEOT net-
work .
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk o f injury or of slight burns to the head, chest or arms, when
an air bag is deployed, cannot be ruled out. The bag inl ates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then del a tes
within the same time discharging the hot gas via openings pro vided for this purpose.
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resti ng your hands on the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the fascia.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of the air bags can ca use burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Only put approved covers on the seats. These will not hamper the deployment of the side air bags. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Do not i x or glue anything to the seat backs. This could ca use injury to the chest or arms when the side air bag in-
l ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

SAFETY
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of violent collisions. They
supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts.
In this case, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side
impacts suffered in the impact detec-
tion zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the air bags are deployed
instantaneously and protect
the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately after the impact, the
air bags del ate rapidly so that
they do not hinder the visibility of
the occupants or their possible
exit from the vehicle,
- in the event of a minor impact or rear impact and in certain
roll-over conditions, the air bags
will not be deployed; the seat
belt alone is sufi cient to provide
maximum protection in these
situations.
A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of one or
more air bags is accompanied
by a slight discharge of harm-
less smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyro-
technic cartridge incorporated
in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may ex-
perience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation
may result in a slight loss of
hearing for a short time.
Impact detection zones
Recommendations for
children
Use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years
old or shorter than one metre
i fty.
Never use the same seat belt to
secure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on
your lap.

Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts ,
the pre-tensioning device may
be triggered before and inde-
pendently of the air bags. Trig-
gering of the pre-tensioners is
accompanied by a slight dis-
charge of harmless smoke and
a noise, due to the activation of
the pyrotechnic cartridge incor-
porated in the system.
In all cases, the air bag warning
light comes on.
Following an impact, have the
seat belts system checked,
and if necessary replaced, by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The air bags do not operate
when the ignition is off.
This equipment only operates
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subse-
quent accident), the air bag will
not operate.

DRIVING
Moving off
With the engine running, to move off
from position P :

 it is essential to press the
brake pedal,

 release the handbrake,

 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 . 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

 Press button S once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox automatically favours
sporty driving and more dynamic ac-
celeration.
Snow programme
This programme improves starting
and drive when traction is poor.

 Press button
 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.

 Press button S or
 again to
switch off the programme you
are in.
Automatic operation

Automatic changing of the four
gears:

 select position D in the gate.
The gearbox automatically adapts
the gear in relation to the style of
driving, the road proi le and the ve-
hicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any ac-
tion on your part .
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 braking, the gearbox will au-
tomatically change down in order to
provide efi cient engine braking.
If you take your foot off the accel-
erator suddenly, the gearbox will not
change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety.
When the engine is at idle,
brakes not applied, if position
R ,

D or M is selected the vehicle
moves even without the accel-
erator 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 ap-
proximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off. Move the
lever to P . The audible signal
stops and the message disap-
pears. Never select position
N when
the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R
unless the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between posi-
tions to optimise braking on a
slippery surface.
When maintenance operations
need to be carried out with the
engine running, apply the hand-
brake and select position
P .

DRIVING
Manual operation

Manual changing of the four gears:

 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.
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 tempo-
rarily in automatic mode.
In the event of under-revving or over-
revving, the gear selected l ashes for
a few seconds, then the actual gear
engaged is displayed.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox au-
tomatically selects gear
M1 .
Programme S (sport) and  (snow)
do not operate in manual mode.
This is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is
indicated by the displaying of
this warning light, an audible
signal and a message on the
multi-function display.
In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substan-
tial 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 l at and the lever
is in position P , it will be impos-
sible to change to another posi-
tion.
Above all, do not force the lever
as there is a risk of damage to
the automatic gearbox.

DRIVING
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
(30 km/h); it remains active regard-
less 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. 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. Storing a speed
A speed can be stored without acti-
vating the limiter.
Press buttons
2 and 3 briel y to de-
crease or increase by 1 mph (1 km/h).
An extended press decreases or in-
creases by 5 mph (5 km/h).
A maintained press decreases or in-
creases the programmed speed in
steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Selecting the function

 Place the dial 1 in the LIMIT
position. The limiter is not yet
active. By default, the display
indicates: 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
indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
SPEED LIMITER * Instrument panel display
* According to country.

DRIVING

Note: the speed also l ashes 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 system off. The last
programmed speed remains in
the memory.
Exceeding the programmed speed
In exceptional circumstances, use
this mode to exceed the programmed
speed.
Pressing the accelerator in order to
exceed the programmed speed will
have no effect unless you press the
pedal
i rmly beyond the point of re-
sistance .
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the speed displayed on the instru-
ment panel l ashes (e.g. at 70 mph
(110 km/h)): Operating fault
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the programmed speed is cleared,
the dashes l ash for a few seconds:
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. In the event of a steep descent
or sharp acceleration, the speed
limiter will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
In any event, the speed limiter
cannot replace the need to ob-
serve speed limits, nor can it re-
place the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
To prevent the mat from becom-
ing caught under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is
positioned correctly.
- never i t one mat on top of another.
