AUTOMATIC SWITCHING ON OF THE LIGHTS The side lights and dipped beam headlamps switch on automatically if
the light is poor, or during continuousoperation of the windscreen wipers.
They switch off as soon as the lightbecomes bright enough or the wind-screen wipers stop. This function is active when the vehi-
cle is supplied to the customer.
To disarm or activate the function: Place the key in the accessories position (1st notch),
 Press the end of the lights stalkfor more than two seconds.
Note: in foggy weather, the bright-
ness sensor can detect sufficientlight. Because of this, the lights do
not come on automatically. Do not cover the brightness sen-
sor connected to the rain sensor,located on the windscreen behind
the mirror. It is used for automat-ic switching on of the lights. Operating check Activation Activation of this function is accom- panied by an audible signal and themessage
"Automatic lighting of
the headlamps activated" on the
multi-function display. Note: Manual operation of the lights
stalk always takes priority Disarming Disarming of the function is accom- panied by an audible signal and themessage "Automatic lighting of
the headlamps deactivated" on the
multi-function display. When driving, if this function is
switched off when the headlampswould switch on in automatic mode,the lights remain on. It is howeverpossible to disarm this function and
switch off the lights by:
Ð manually switching off the lights using the lights stalk,
Ð switching off the engine. If the brightness sensor does not
function correctly,
the system acti-
vates the function (the lights come
on). The driver is alerted by theflashing of the ''dipped beam'' warn-ing light on the instrument panel.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked. Follow me Home When there is a low level of bright- ness or at night, if you leave yourvehicle, the side lights and thedipped beam lights may remain onfor approximately one minute. This function can only be used if the automatic switching on of the lightsmode is activated then:  with the key in the accessories position (1st notch), flash theheadlamps,

Moving Off
With the engine running, to move off from position P:
 It is essential to press the brakepedal to exit position P (shift
lock),
 Select the required position ( R, D ,
3 , 2 or 1) then gradually release
the brake pedal: the vehicle
moves off immediately.
You can also move off from position N:
 Release the handbrake with yourfoot on the brake pedal,
 Select the required position ( R, D ,
3 , 2 or 1) then gradually release
the brake pedal: the vehicle
moves off immediately. Automatic Operation Automatic changing of the
four
gears :
Move the selector lever to position D.
The gearbox continuously selects the most suitable gear according tothe following parameters:
Ð driving style,
Ð road characteristics,
Ð vehicle load.The gearbox functions in autoadap-
tive mode without any action on
your part. When the engine is idling
with position
R, D, 3, 2or
1 selected and the brakes
off, the car will move even
without you accelerating. For this reason, do not leave
children unsupervised inside the vehicle when the engine isrunning. If work needs to be done with the engine running, apply the hand-brake and select position P
.
Never select position Nwhen the
vehicle is moving. Never select position Por R
unless the vehicle is stationary .
Do not change from one position to another to optimise braking onslippery roads. In the event of battery failure, if the lever is in position Pit will not
be possible to change to anotherposition.

DRIVING YOUR 406 COUPE
Note: For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever, pressthe accelerator pedal down as far as it
will go (kickdown). The gearbox willchange down automatically or stay inthe gear selected, up to maximumengine speed. When braking, the gearbox changes
down automatically to provide effi-cient engine braking.
If you take your foot off the accelera-
tor suddenly, the gearbox will not
change up for reasons of safety.

Sport and Snow programmes In addition to the autoadaptive pro- gramme, two special programmes
are available. The indicator light cor-responding to the programme selec-ted lights up on the instrument panel. Sport programme Once the vehicle has been started and position Dselected, press the
S button.
The gearbox automatically favoursdynamic driving. Snow programme This programme makes starting easier
and offers smooth driving in conditions
when traction is poor.  Once the vehicle has been started and position Dselected, press the
button.
The gearbox adapts to driving onslippery roads.
Note : You can return to the autoadaptive
programme at any time.
 Press the Sor button again to
cancel the current programme. Operating anomaly Any disruption of the system is indi- cated by the alternate flashing of thesport and snow lights on the instru-ment panel. In such a case, the gearbox will operate in downgrade mode (locked
in 3rd gear). You may feel a substan-tial knock when reverse is selectedfrom position
Por N(this does not
damage the gearbox). Do not exceed 60 m.p.h. (100 km/h), if regulations permit this.

CRUISE CONTROL Cruise control enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed pro-
grammed by the driver, regardless ofthe road characteristics and withoutthe driver having to touch the accel-erator or brake pedals. In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater than25 m.p.h (40 km/h) or 40 m.p.h
(60 km/h), depending on the engine,and fourth gear at least must beengaged (second gear for the auto-matic gearbox). Operation 
Place switch 1in the ONposition.
A speed can be memorised. Place switch 1in the OFF position
to cancel.
Memorising a speedAs soon as you reach the chosen speed, press button 2or 3. This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically. Note:
It is possible to accelerate and drive
momentarily at a speed greater than the memorised speed. When the acceleratorpedal is released, the vehicle will return tothe memorised speed. Cancelling the memorised speed If you wish to cancel the memorised speed:  press button 4or the brake or
clutch pedal.
Recalling the memorised speedAfter cancellation, press button 4.
Your vehicle will return to the last memorised speed. Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than the previous one:  press button 3;
 release it when you have reached the required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than theprevious one:  press button 2;
 release it when you have reached the required speed.
Cancelling the cruise control  Place switch 1in the OFF position
or switch off the ignition.
Do not use cruise control on slippery roads or in heavytraffic. THE ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKINGSYSTEM When used with approved
tyres in good condition, the ABS increases the stability and manoeu-vrability of your vehicle, particularlyon poor or slippery road surfaces. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pres-
sure to be reached more quickly,thus reducing the stopping distance. It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The
effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency. The normal operation of the ABSmay make itself felt by slightvibrations of the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.
