vehicle is moving. Never select functions Por R unless
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 (kickdown). 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.

Special features of alloy wheels Bolt coversAlloy wheel bolts are covered by chrome trims. Use tool 6to remove the trims befo-
re slackening the bolts. Fitting the spare wheel If your vehicle is fitted with a steel spare wheel, when fitting it, it is normal
when tightening the bolts, to
notice that the washers do not come
into contact with the rim. The sparewheel is secured by the cone shapeof each bolt. Fitting snow tyres If you fit snow tyres mounted on steel wheels onto your vehicle, it is essen-
tial to use special bolts available
from your PEUGEOT dealer. Anti-theft bolts* If your wheels are fitted with an anti- theft bolt (one per wheel), the chro-me trim and then the plastic covermust be removed using tool
6, befo-
re unscrewing the bolt using one ofthe two anti-theft sockets (whichwere given to you on delivery of yourvehicle along with the duplicate keysand the confidential card) and thewheel brace 1.
Note : make a careful note of the
code number engraved on the head
of the anti-theft socket. This willenable you to obtain duplicate anti-
theft sockets from a PEUGEOT dealer.
