Recommended lubricants The oils which appear in the table opposite are suitable for most pur-poses. The diagram opposite states the optimum range of viscosity depen-ding on the temperatures at whichthe oils are to be used. It is also possible to use "superior quality" synthetic oils. In the absence of semi-synthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ qua-lity (for petrol engines), or CD/CFquality (for diesel engines) may beused by following the "ArduousConditions" servicing schedule,which specifies shorter intervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice
from a PEUGEOT dealer to maintaindriving pleasure and to minimise themaintenance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

Automatic operation Automatic changing of the four
gears :
☞ select function Din the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most suitable gear according to the follo-wing parameters: - the style of driving,
- the road profile,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-adaptive mode, without anyaction on your part.
W ARNING
Never select function Nwhen the
vehicle is moving. Never select functions Por Runless
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.
Snow programme In addition to the auto-adaptive pro- gramme, there is a special programme. The programme is displayed on the instrument panel screen. This programme improves starting
and drive when traction is poor. ☞ Press button Wonce the vehicle
has been started and function D
selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery roads. Note: you can return to the auto-
adaptive programme at any time. ☞ Press button Wagain to switch
off the programme you are in. Manual operation Manual changing of the
four gears:
☞ select function Min the gate,
☞ push the lever to the +sign to
change to a higher gear,
☞ pull the lever to the Ðsign to
change to a lower gear.
Y ou can change from position D(dri-
ving in automatic mode) to position M (driving in manual mode) at any
time. Note It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speedand engine speed permit. If they donot, the vehicle will operate tempora-rily in automatic mode. When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearboxautomatically selects gear M1.
Programme W(snow) does not ope-
rate in manual mode.
