GEARBOX
The four or six speed automatic gear-
box offers, as required, the comfort of
the auto-adaptive program enhanced
by a selection suited to the dynamic
driving conditions: sport, or to driving
on a slippery road: snow.
However, manual selection is still
possible using the gear lever.

The auto-adaptive program
F select position D in the gate: the
gearbox operates in auto-adap-
tive mode, without any action on
your part, taking into account the
following parameters:
- the style of driving,
- the proile of the road,
- the vehicle load.
To obtain maximum acceleration
without touching the lever, press the
accelerator down fully (kick down).
The program will change down au-
tomatically or will stay in the gear
selected until the maximum engine
speed is reached.
When the brake is applied, the pro-
gram will change down automatically
in order to provide eficient engine
braking.
Note:
Releasing the accelerator sharply
does not have any immediate effect
on the speed of the vehicle.
WARNING
Never select position N when the ve-
hicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change betwen positions
to optimise braking on a slippery
surface.
Sport and Snow programs
These are two special programs.
The program selected is displayed
on the instrument panel screen.
Sport program
F Press button S once the vehicle
has been started in position D, the
auto-adaptive program favours
dynamic driving.
Snow program
This program improves starting and
drive when traction is poor.
F Press button
T once the vehicle
has been started and position
D has been selected, the auto-
adaptive program adjusts the
performance of the vehicle to the
condition of the slippery road.
You can deactivate the Sport or
Snow program at any time by press-
ing the button selected.
Operation with manual
selection of the gears
F select position M in the gate,
F push the lever to the + sign to
change up a gear and push again
to change up another gear,
F pull the lever to the - sign to
change down a gear and pull
again to change down another
gear.
You can change from position D
(driving in automatic mode) to posi-
tion M (driving in manual mode) at
any time. 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.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox au-
tomatically selects gear
M1.
Programs S (sport) and
T (snow) do
not operate in manual gear selection
mode.
Any operating abnormality is
indicated by lighting of this
warning light, accompanied
by 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 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) or
keep within local speed limits.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
If the battery is lat and the lever in
is position P, it will be impossible to
change to another position.
In particular, do not force the lever
or there is a risk the gearbox may be
damaged.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS)
The ABS increases the stability and
manoevrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slip-
pery road surfaces.
This system comes into operation
automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press very
irmly without releasing the pressure.
Note:
when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system ena-
bles the optimum braking pressure
to be reached more quickly, thus re-
ducing the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The ef-
fect of this is a reduction in the resist-
ance of the pedal and an increase in
braking eficiency.
This indicates that
the ABS is faulty.
It comes on on the in-
strument panel screen
also.
If it comes on permanently above
6 mph (10 km/h), it indicates an ABS
malfunction.
However, the vehicle retains conven-
tional servo-assisted braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
