If the battery is flat and the
lever is in position P, it will
be impossible to change to
another position.
"PORSCHE TIPTRONIC
SYSTEM" AUTOMATIC
GEARBOX
The four speed automatic gearbox
offers a choice between the comfort
of integral automatic operation , en-
hanced by a snow program, or the
pleasure of manual gear changing .
Gear selection gate
 Move the lever in the gate to
select a position.
Once the position is selected, the
corresponding indicator light appears
on the instrument panel display.
: snow program
Park: to immobilise the vehicle or
start the engine , with the handbrake
on or off.
Reverse: to reverse (select this
position with the vehicle stationary,
engine at idle).
Neutral: to start the engine and to
park , with the handbrake on.
Note : if position N is engaged inad-
vertently while driving, allow the en-
gine to return to idle before engaging
position D to accelerate.
Drive: for driving in automatic mode.
Manual: for driving in manual mode.
Moving off
With the engine running, to move off
from position P:
 it is essential to press the brake
pedal to exit position P,
 select position R, D or M, then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
You can also move off from position N:
 with your foot on the brake, re-
lease the handbrake,
 select position R, D or M, then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
WARNING
When the engine is at idle, brakes not
applied, if position R, D or M is se-
lected the vehicle moves even with-
out the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave
children unsupervised inside the
vehicle, with the engine running .
When maintenance operations need
to be carried out with the engine run-
ning, apply the handbrake and select
position P.

73Driving-
Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four
gears :
 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 profile,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any
action on your part.
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. If you take your foot off the accel-
erator suddenly, the gearbox will not
change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety.
Snow program
In addition to the auto-adaptive pro-
gram, 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.

Press button  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.
 Press button
 again to switch off
the program you are in.
Manual operation
Manual changing of the four gears:
 select position M in the gate,
 push the lever to the + sign to
change to a higher gear,
 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.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indicated
by an audible signal, accompanied by
flashing of the Snow warning light on
the instrument panel.
In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substan-
tial 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.
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 auto-
matically change down in order to
provide efficient engine braking. 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
automatically selects gear
M1.
The
 (snow) program does not
operate in manual mode.

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.
* According to engine.
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
pretensioning seat belts with force
limiter.
The electronic detectors register and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle: if the triggering thresh-
old is reached, the air bags inflate in-
stantly and protect the occupants of
the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in the
case of minor collisions, for which the
seat belt is sufficient to ensure maxi-
mum protection. The seriousness of
a collision depends on the nature of
the obstacle and the speed of the ve-
hicle 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.
FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger
(one seat). They are deployed simul-
taneously.
If this warning light comes
on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
signal, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system
checked.

HANDBRAKE
Lighting of this warning light,
while the vehicle is moving,
indicates that the handbrake
is still applied or has not been
released correctly.When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards
the pavement and apply the
handbrake.
Only apply the handbrake
when the vehicle is stationary. Illumination of this warning
light, accompanied by an
audible signal, indicates a
malfunction of the electron-
ic brake force distribution,
which can cause a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Applying
When parking, pull the handbrake to
immobilise your vehicle.
Releasing
Pull the handle and press the button
to release the handbrake.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS)
The ABS with Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBFD) increases the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle, particularly on poor or slip-
pery 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.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press very
firmly without releasing the pres-
sure.

71Driving-
On a steep slope, the cruise
control will not be able to
prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed
speed.
The cruise control cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, replace the need to re-
spect speed limits nor can it replace
the need for vigilance and responsi-
bility on the part of the driver.
Do not use cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control enables the vehicle
to maintain a steady speed pro-
grammed by the driver.
In order for it to be memorised,
the vehicle speed must be greater
than 25 mph (40 km/h) or 40 mph
(60 km/h), (according to engine), with
at least 4th gear engaged (second
for the automatic gearbox).
Operation
 Press switch A. The indicator light
will come on.
A speed can be memorised.
 Press switch A again to cancel.
The indicator light will switch off.
Memorising a speed
As soon as you reach the chosen
speed, push stalk B upwards or
downwards. This memorises the
speed, which will be maintained
automatically.
Note: it is possible to accelerate
momentarily without disarming the
cruise control.
Cancelling the memorised
speed
 Pull stalk B towards you or press
the brake or clutch pedal.
Recalling the memorised
speed
After cancellation, push stalk B up-
wards or downwards. Your vehicle
will return to the last memorised
speed.
Changing the memorised
speed
To memorise a speed higher than the
previous one:
 keep stalk B pressed upwards;
 release it when you have reached
the required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
 keep stalk B pressed downwards;
 release it when you have reached
the required speed.
Disarming the cruise control
 Press switch A to switch the sys-
tem off or switch off the ignition.

SIDE AIRBAGS*
These are incorporated into the
frame of the driver and front passen-
ger (one seat) seat back, on the door
side.
They are deployed independently
of each other depending on which
side the collision occurs, in collisions
which could cause injury to the chest,
the abdomen or the head.This is confirmed by an
indicator light on the instru-
ment panel.
It comes on for six sec-
onds, each time the ignition
is switched on.
Operating check
If the indicator light:
- does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or
- does not go out after six seconds, or
- flashes for five minutes then stays on,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer. For the front and side* air
bags to be fully effective,
observe the following
safety rules:
• Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
• Sit in a normal upright position.
• Do not leave anything between the occupants and the air bags (child,
animal, object...).
This could hamper the operation of the air bags or injure the occupants.
• All work on the air bag systems is strictly prohibited unless it is car-
ried out by qualified personnel of
the PEUGEOT network.
• After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into,
have the air bag systems checked. Front air bags
• Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting your
