HANDBRAKE
Applying
When parking, pull the handbrake to
immobilize your vehicle. To return to normal operation, pull the
lever upwards until a click is heard.
Illumination of this light, ac-
companied by an audible
signal and the message
"handbrake on" on the
multi-function display, indi-
cates that the handbrake is still on or
has not been properly released.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure 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 the
resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking eficiency.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and mano-
evrability of your vehicle on braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message,
it indicates that there is a
malfunction of the ABS,
which can cause a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking. When this warning light
comes on, connected to
the
STOP warning light, ac-
companied by a buzzer and
a message, it indicates that
there is a malfunction of the electron-
ic brake force distribution, which can
cause a loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
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.
Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the
button to release the handbrake.
Disengaging
Apply the handbrake.
Pull the button located at the end of
the handbrake forwards.
The handbrake lever lowers.
You can now pivot the seat. When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the
handbrake.
The handbrake must not
be used to stop or brake the vehicle
while it is moving.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing on the brakes of the drive wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
The warning light lashes
if the ASR or ESP is acti-
vated. Disarming the ESP/ASR systems
In certain conditions (vehicle stuck in
mud or snow, or on loose ground...),
it could prove useful to disarm the
ASR and ESP systems to make the
wheels spin and regain grip.
F
Press switch "1", situated under
the steering wheel on the right of
the fascia.
They engage again:
F automatically above 20 mph
(30 km/h),
F manually by pressing switch 1
again. The indicator light comes
on, accompanied by the
message
"ESP/ASR de-
activated" : the ESP and
ASR systems no longer act
on the engine operation but remain
active on the brakes. Operating check
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the indica-
tor light comes on accom-
panied by an audible signal
and the message "ESP/
ASR not functioning" on
the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The ASR/ESP systems
offer increased safety
during normal driving, but
should not incite the driver
to take risks or to drive at
high speed.
The operation of the systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding the
wheels (tyres and wheel rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the assembly
and repair procedures within the
PEUGEOT network are observed.
After an impact, have the systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise control function allows
you to choose and maintain a
constant vehicle speed, called the
"cruising speed", irrespective of the
proile of the road and without any
action on the part of the driver on
the accelerator pedal or the brake
pedal.
The "cruising speed" is chosen by
the driver and must comply with the
highway regulations in use at local
and national level.
The cruise control function must not
be used on slippery roads or in heavy
trafic.
First activation
F Place the dial 1 in the "On" posi-
tion to access the cruise control
function.
F Position the speedometer needle
at the speed required.
F Press button 2 "set-" or 3 "set+" to
activate the cruise control.
At this moment, the vehicle speed
is maintained without any interven-
tion on your part. It is stored as the
cruising speed and the indicator light
is displayed.
Warning: the vehicle speed must
be above 25 mph (40 km/h) in or-
der to be able to activate the cruise
control.
On a vehicle itted with a manual
gearbox, it is also necessary to be in
at least fourth gear.
On a vehicle itted with an automatic
gearbox, it is necessry to be either
in position D, or in selective driving
mode in a gear higher than or equal
to position 2.
Adjust your selection
When the cruise control is activated,
pressing button 3 "set+" increases
the cruising speed displayed on the
instrument panel.
Pressing button 2 "set-" reduces the
cruising speed displayed on the in-
strument panel.
Short press: +/- 1 mph (1 km/h)
Long press: +/- 5 mph (5 km/h)
Maintained press: continuous in-
creasing or decreasing of the value
in steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
The vehicle gradually reaches the
new cruising speed displayed on the
instrument panel.
You can drive faster than the cruising
speed at any time by pressing the
accelerator pedal. This does not de-
activate the cruise control. When you
release the accelerator pedal, the ve-
hicle returns to the cruising speed.
Pressing button 3 "set+" or 2 "set-"
while you are driving faster than the
cruising speed stores the current
speed as a new cruising speed.

Deactivating the cruise
control
The cruise control is deactivated by
the following actions:
- pressing cruise control button 4
"Cancel",
- pressing the brake pedal,
- pressing the clutch pedal on a vehi- cle itted with a manual gearbox,
- selecting a gear which is not au- thorised on a vehicle itted with an
automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is also deactivated
in the following circumstances:
- when the vehicle speed falls below 22 mph (35 km/h),
- when the ESP is activated.
End of cruise control mode
F Place the dial in the "Off" position.
Note: after placing the dial 1 in the
"Off" position or after switching off
the engine, it is necessary to repeat
the "First activation" stage in order to
activate the cruise control. When the cruise control is selected
and a fault is present, dashes lash.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
Reactivating the cruise
control
If the conditions necessary for
activation are met (see § First
activation), the cruise control can be
reactivated:
- by pressing button
4 "Cancel" to
regain the cruising speed stored,
- by pressing button 2 "set-" or 3
"set+" to store the current speed as
the new cruising speed.
Display on the instrument
panel
When the dial is in the "ON" position,
the indicator light is displayed on the
instrument panel associated with a
description "OFF" indicating that the
speed reference value has not yet
been entered.
Dashes indicate that a irst activation
has not yet taken place.
When the irst activation takes place,
the description "OFF" disappears
and the dashes are replaced by the
display of the cruising speed stored.
When the driver exceeds the cruising
speed, it lashes on the instrument
panel.
When the cruise control is
deactivated, the description "OFF"
appears; the cruising speed stored is
still displayed.
When the cruise control is reactivated,
lashing of the cruising speed for a few
seconds indicates that the activation
conditions have not been met.

Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged; an audible
bleep shows that it is active.
The proximity information is given by
an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is less
than approximately twenty-ive centi-
metres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper,
and a special speaker.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot
detect obstacles located just below
the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the begin-
ning of the manoeuvre, but may no
longer be detected when the vehicle
comes close to it.
Note: this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle car-
rier is itted (vehicle itted with towing
attachment or bicycle carrier recom-
mended by PEUGEOT).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow.
If there is an operating fault,
the audible signal will be a
short bleep followed by a
long bleep when changing
to reverse gear.

Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four
gears :
F select position D in the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the follow-
ing parameters:
- the style of driving,
- the road proile,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any ac-
tion on your part. If you take your foot off the accel-
erator suddenly, the gearbox will not
change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety.
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.
WARNING
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.
Notes
For immediate maximum accelera-
tion without touching the gear lever,
press the accelerator pedal down as
far as it will go (kick down). 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 eficient engine braking.
Snow program
In addition to the auto-adaptive
program, there is a special program.
The program is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
The Snow program improves starting
and drive when traction is poor.
F Press button
T once the vehicle
has been started and position D
selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving on
slippery roads.
Note: you can return to the auto-
adaptive program at any time.
F Press button
T again to switch off
the program you are in.
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, Note
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.
The
T (snow) program does not
operate in manual mode.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indi-
cated by an audible signal, accom-
panied by the message "Automatic
gear fault" on the multi-function dis-
play and lashing of the Snow warn-
ing light on the instrument panel.
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),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.

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 thresh-
old 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 occu-
pants 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.
MANUAL GEARBOX
Reverse*
To change to reverse gear, lift the
ring under the gear lever knob and
push the gear lever to the left then to
the front.
Reverse gear can only be engaged
when the vehicle is stationary with
the engine idling. 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.
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.
