INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS33
Instrument panel display After switching on the ignition, three functions are shown in succession:
Ð service indicator (see corresponding section),
Ð engine oil level indicator,
Ð total distance recorder/total and trip distances.Note: the total and trip distances are displayed for 30 seconds when the ignition is switched off, on opening the driver's door,
as well as on locking and unlocking the vehicle. Engine oil level When the ignition is switched on, the engine oil level is indicated for approximately 10 seconds, after the servicing informati on.
Maximum Check the level using the dipstick to confirm whether the level indicated is correct; a surplus of oil can cause damage to the engine.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer without delay. Minimum.
Check the level with the dipstick and top it up. The level indicated is only correct if the vehicle has been on stable, level ground, with the engine stopped, for 10 minutes. Oil level gauge fault The 6 segments flash to indicate a fault in the oil level gauge.There is a risk the engine will be damaged.

SEAT BELTS Seat belt height adjustment:
Ð to lower: pull the control towardsyou and slide it downwards.
Ð to raise: slide the control upwards. To lock the seat beltsPull the strap, then insert the end into the buckle. Front seat belts with pre-tensioner and force limiter Safety in the event of front impacts has been improved by the introduc-tion of seat belts with pre-tensionerand force limiter for the front seats.Depending on the seriousness ofthe impact, the pre-tensioning sys-tem instantly tightens the seat beltsand pulls them against the bodies ofthe occupants. The pre-tensioning seat belts are active when the ignition is on. The force limiter eases the pressure of the seat belt on the body of theoccupant in the event of an acci-dent. Rear seat belts The rear seats are fitted with two three-point inertia reel seat beltsand a lap belt (one-piece rear seat)or with three three-point inertia reelseat belts (two-part rear seat, 1/3 -2/3).
To be effective, a seat belt must be tightenedas close to the body aspossible.
Depending on the nature andseriousness of the impact, thepre-tensioning system may betriggered before and independ-ently of the air bags. In all cases, the air bag warning light on the instrument panelcomes on. Following an impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer. The system has been designed to be fully operational for tenyears.
For greater safety, have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealerwithin ten years following the ini-tial purchase of the vehicle.

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 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.

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.

In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the event of an impact. As soon as the child seat is remo- ved, turn the air bag slot to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bagand thus ensure the safety of yourpassenger in the event of an impact. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audiblesignal and a message on the multi-
function display. With the ignition on (2nd notch), illu- mination of this warning light accom-panied by an audible signal and themessage "Passenger air bag
disarmed" on the multifunction dis-
play, indicates that the passenger airbag is disarmed (switch in the"OFF" position). SIDE AIR BAGS These are incorporated into the frame of the front seat back, on thedoor side. They are deployed independently of each other depending on which sidethe collision occurs, in collisionswhich could cause injury to thechest, the abdomen or the head.
Operating check
This is confirmed by a light on theinstrument panel. It comes on for 6 seconds, each time the ignition is switched on. If the indicator light:
Ð does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or
Ð does not go out after 6 seconds, or
Ð flashes for 5 minutes then stays on,
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
