If both airbag warning lamps come
on continuously, do not install
a"rear facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible warning and
a message on the multifunction
screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked. The airbags
may no longer be triggered in the event
of a serious impact.
To assure the safety of your child,
it is imperative that the passenger
airbag is deactivated when you in-
stall a"rear facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-

According to version, this warn-
ing lamp comes on either on
the instrument panel or on the
central panel when the ignition
is on and until the airbag is re-
activated. Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch
1 to the" ON" position to reacti-
vate the airbag and so asure the safety
of your front passenger in the event of
an impact.
Deactivation
Only the front passenger’s airbag can
be deactivated:
with the ignition off , insert the key
in the passenger airbag deactivation

Side airbags *
System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous side impact in order to limit the risk
o f i n j u r y t o t h e c h e s t .
Each side airbag is incorporated in the
front seat back frame, on the door side.
Operation
It is triggered unilaterally in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all
or part of the side impact zone B , per-
pendicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and
directed from the outside towards the
inside of the vehicle.

safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
W e a r a c o r r e c t l y a d j u s t e d s e a t b e l t .
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,

After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strict-
ly forbidden unless it is carried out by
q u a l i fi e d p e r s o n n e l o f t h e P E U G E O T

GEAR CHANGE INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consump-
tion by advising the driver to change up
a g e a r o n v e h i c l e s fi t t e d w i t h a m a n u a l
gearbox.
Operation
The system acts solely in the context of
economical driving.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruction with-
out engaging the intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulsory.

a m o u n t o f t r a f fi c a n d s a f e t y r e m a i n d e t e r -
mining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains re-
sponsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated. Example:
- You are in third gear.
The information appears in the form of an
arrow on the instrument panel display. In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the perfor-
m a n c e o f t h e e n g i n e ( fi r m p r e s -
sure on the accelerator pedal, for
example, when overtaking...), the
system will not recommend a gear
change.
The system never suggests:
- e n g a g i n g o f fi r s t g e a r ,
- engaging of reverse gear,
- engaging of a lower gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

"2 TRONIC" GEARBOX
(SALOON)
Five-speed electronically controlled
gearbox which offers a choice between
the comfort of automatic operation or
the pleasure of manual gear changing.
Three driving modes are offered:
- the automated mode for automatic
control of the gears by the gearbox,
- the sequential mode for manual
changing of the gears by the driver,
- the auto sequential mode for over-
taking, for example, remaining in
the automated mode while using the
functions of the sequential mode.
R . Reverse
With your foot on the brake, move the
lever upwards to select this position.
N . Neutral.
With your foot on the brake, select

box detects poor grip, this warning
lamp comes on. Moving off Sequential mode
After starting the vehicle, select
position M to change to sequential
mode.
Automated mode
Following use of the sequential
mode, select position A to return to
the automated mode.
When stopping on a slope, do not
use the accelerator to immobi-
lise the vehicle; apply the parking
brake.
When moving off on a slope, accel-
erate gradually while releasing the
parking brake.

then accelerate.
AUTO and 1 or R appear on
the instrument panel.
AUTO disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession
on the instrument panel.
The gear change requests are only carried
out if the engine speed permits.
When driving at low speed, on ap-
p r o a c h i n g a s t o p s i g n o r t r a f fi c l i g h t s f o r
example, the gearbox changes down to
fi r s t g e a r a u t o m a t i c a l l y .
AUTO and the gear engaged
appear on the instrument panel.
The gearbox then operates in auto-
adaptive mode, without any action on
the part of the driver. It continuously se-
lects the most suitable gear in relation
to the following parameters:
- driving style,
- road conditions,
- vehicle load.
When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal is triggered.

"Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can resume
control temporarily at any time using the
steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a more rapid change-down
than in the automated mode (arrival at
a roundabout, leaving a car park with a
steep gradient, overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the required gear if
the engine speed permits. AUTO remains
displayed on the instrument panel.
After a few minutes, the gearbox re-
sumes automatic control of the gears. "Snow" automated mode
In the automated mode, if the vehi-
cle detects poor grip, the gearbox will
change automatically to the "snow" au-
tomated mode.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
change to position
N to be in neutral.
In this case, it is imperative that you ap-
ply the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.
Reinitialisation
Following disconnection of the battery,
the gearbox must be reinitialised.
Switch on the ignition. Operating fault
With the ignition on, if this warn-
ing lamp comes on and AUTO
fl a s h e s , a c c o m p a n i e d b y a n a u -
dible signal and a message on
the multifunction screen, this indicates
a gearbox malfunction.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
You must press the brake pedal
while starting the engine.
Never select neutral N while the
vehicle is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when
the vehicle is immobilised, with
your foot on the brake pedal.
In all cases, it is imperative that you
apply the parking brake to immobi-
lise the vehicle.
If you press the accelerator pedal
beyond the point of resistance, the
gearbox selects the gear below to
permit sharper acceleration.

Therefore, four driving modes are of-
fered:
- automatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the
gearbox,
- sport programme for a more dynamic
style of driving,
- snow programme to improve driving
when traction is poor,
- manual operation for sequential
changing of the gears by the driver. Gear lever
