Manual interior mirror The interior mirror has two positions: 
Ð day (normal),
Ð night (anti-dazzle).
To change from one to the other, push or pull the lever on the lower
edge of the mirror.Manual exterior mirrors  Move the lever in all four directions to adjust. When the vehicle is parked, the exterior mirrors can be folded back

ELECTRIC EXTERIOR MIRRORS 
Turn knob 
1to the right or to the left
to select the corresponding mirror. Move knob  1in all four directions to
adjust. Fold-back electric mirrors  With the ignition on, turn knob  1to
position  A.
The outside of the mirror on the driver's side is convex (area at edge defined by dotted line) in order to eliminate the "blind spot". Furthermore, objects observed in the driver's and passenger's mir- 
rors are in reality closer than they appear.
This must be taken into account to judge correctly the distance of vehiclesapproaching from behind.

Operating programmes 
You have a choice of three operating programmes: 
Ð Autoadaptive (normal)
Ð Sport
Ð SnowOne press on button  Aor  Bwill
select Sport or Snow respectively. The selection is displayed on theinstrument panel. Pressing the but-ton a second time will return to theautoadaptive (normal) programme. Autoadaptive programme  (normal)Gear changes are carried out on the basis of various parameters, suchas: 
Ð driving style,
Ð road characteristics,
Ð vehicle load.The gearbox selects the most suit- able programme from those in thememory for the current driving con-ditions. Sport programme The Sport programme automatically favours more dynamic driving. Snow Programme In position 
D, the Snow programme
provides smooth driving suited to slippery roads in order to improve
traction and stability. Starting is in2nd gear and changing down is at
low engine speeds. Special operating features 
Ð During prolonged braking, the gearbox changes down automati- 
cally, so as to provide efficientengine braking.
Ð If you take your foot off the accel- erator suddenly (when you aretaken by surprise, for example),the gearbox will not change up, so
as to improve safety.
Ð When the engine is cold, the gear- box automatically selects a spe-cial programme that enables theengine to reach its ideal tempera-ture more quickly in order todecrease pollution.
Kickdown For immediate maximum accelera- 
tion without touching the gear lever,press the accelerator pedal down as
far as it will go. The gearbox willchange down automatically or stayin the gear selected, up to maximumengine speed.
Any disruption of the sys- tem is signalled by thesimultaneous flashing ofthe Sport and Snow
lights on the instrument panel. Insuch a case, the gearbox will oper-
ate in downgrade mode. You mayfeel a substantial knock whenreverse is selected from  Pto  Ror
N to  R(without any risk of damage
to the gearbox). Do not exceed 60 mph (100km/h).Contact a PEUGEOT dealer with- 
out delay. When the engine is idling with the 
car in gear, the car will move evenwithout you accelerating. Do not accelerate while a gear is being selected, when the vehicle is
stationary. 
When stationary, have your foot on the brake pedal when selecting a
gear. Do not accelerate in gear with the brakes on. If work needs to be done with the engine running, apply the hand-brake and select position  P.
Do not change down to brake onslippery roads. Never select position  Nwhen the
vehicle is moving.Never engage  Por  Runless the
vehicle is stationary.Do not leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised when theengine is running.

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 wheelsand on the engine. It also allows thedirectional stability of the vehicle tobe improved on acceleration. If there is a variation between the tra- jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESPsystem automatically acts on theengine and the brake of one or morewheels, in order to put the vehicleback on course.Disarming the ASR/ESP systems In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels canmove freely and regain grip. 
Press the  "ESP OFF" switch,
located under the steering wheel to the right. 
The switch lights up and thewarning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems aredisarmed.
These are triggered again:  automatically if the ignition is 
switched off,
 manually by pressing the switchagain.
Operation of the ASR and 
ESP systems
The warning light flashes if 
the ASR or ESP is activated.Operating checkWhen a malfunction of the systems occurs, the switchlight flashes and the warn-ing light comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to havethe system checked.
The ESP system offers exceptional safety in nor-mal driving, but thisshould not encourage thedriver to take extra risks
or drive at high speed. The correct functioning of this sys- tem depends on observation of themanufacturer's recommendationsregarding wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components and theelectronic components, as well asthe PEUGEOT assembly andoperation procedures. After an impact, have the system 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

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 isdisarmed.Front air bag malfunction If this warning light comes on, accompanied by a buz-zer and the message  "Air
bag fault" on the multifunction dis-
play, contact a PEUGEOT dealer tohave the system checked.
AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occu-pants in the event of serious colli-sions; they work in conjunction withthe force limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the electronic detectors record andanalyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thre-shold is reached, the air bags inflateinstantly and protect the occupantsof the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air 
bags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their possible exit from thevehicle. The air bags will not be deployed in collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. Theseriousness of the collision dependson the nature of the obstacle and thespeed of the vehicle at the momentof impact. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note: 
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. Disarming the passenger  air bag* 
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the pas-senger air bag when you install arear-facing child seat on the frontpassenger seat. 
With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the passengerair bag disarming switch  1, turn it
to the  "OFF" position, then remo-
ve the key keeping the slot in thisposition.
The air bag warning light on theinstrument panel is lit throu-ghout the disarming process.
* According to destination.

CHANGING A WHEEL 
Tools 
Ð The jack and the chock are in a cover  2secured by two straps on
the left-hand side of the boot.
Ð The wheelbrace and the bolt cover tool are secured on the boot rear right inner panel.
Wheel changing procedure 
The wheels of your 206 GTi 180 are fitted with anti-theft bolts. The wheels are changed in the same way as on the saloon. Refer to the corresponding sections.
PUNCTURES (206 GTi 180* ) Because this version does not pos- sess a spare wheel, you will find twotemporary tyre repair aerosolsstored in an insulated box 
1secured
by a strap on the left-hand side ofthe boot. Using the repair aerosols (Also read the instructions for use on the aerosols).  If possible remove the object which caused the puncture.
 Turn the wheel so that the valveis at the 2 o'clock or 10 o'clockposition.
Shake the aerosols vigorously 
before use. In very cold weather,warm the aerosols for a few minutesin your hands.
 In one hand hold the valve.
 With the other, firmly push thespray end of the aerosol onto thevalve, keeping it centralised.
 Maintain the pressure firmly forone minute, then immediatelydrive  at a moderate speed to the
nearest garage.
* During the year, according to destination.
The aerosol cans enable you to carry out a tempo-rary repair (maximumspeed 50 mph (80 km/h)).
After use, the tyre must be
replaced. As the aerosol cans arepressurised, they must not beexposed to a temperature above
50 ¡C. Store them away from heat in their insulated storage box.
