DRIVING
"PORSCHE TIPTRONIC
SYSTEM" AUTOMATIC
GEARBOX
Six speed automatic gearbox which of-
fers a choice between the comfort of
fully automatic operation, enhanced by
sport and snow programmes, or manual
gear changing.
For this, four driving modes are of-
fered:
- automatic
operation for electronic
management of the gears by the
gearbox,
- sport
programme for a more dy-
namic style of driving,
- snow
programme to improve driv-
ing when traction is poor,
- manual
operation for sequential
changing of the gears by the driver.

DRIVING
SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by
the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is
reached, pressing the accelerator pedal
no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on
man-
ually: it requires a programmed speed
of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be ex-
ceeded temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator fi rmly.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter 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.

DRIVING
CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-
gaging:
- of fourth gear on the manual gear-
box,
-
of second gear on the automatic gear-box, in sequential driving mode,
- of position D
on the automatic
gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manu-
ally or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP sys-
tem for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value. The controls of this system are grouped
together on lever A

driver.
You are advised to keep your feet
near the pedals at all times.

DRIVING
PARKING SENSORS
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the fi eld of detection
of sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, road-
works cone, etc.) detected initially will
no longer be detected at the end of the
manoeuvre due to the presence of blind
spots.
This function cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequen-
cy of which increases as the vehicle ap-
proaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right
or left) indicates the side on which the
obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle becomes less than ap-
proximately thirty centimetres, the audi-
ble signal becomes continuous.
The system is switched on by engaging
reverse gear. This is accompanied by
an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you
exit reverse gear.
This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the
vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the
"Danger" symbol is also displayed in the
screen.

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Brake fluid level
Oil level
The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched on
using the oil level indicator on
the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
This manual check will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel will only
be valid 30 minutes after topping up. The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the
engine cold, to check the level.
It is normal to top up the oil level
between services. PEUGEOT rec-
ommends that you check the oil
level and top up if necessary every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the interval for this
operation. When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
When working under the bonnet,
take care, as certain areas of the
engine may be extremely hot (risk
of burns).
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Engine oil change
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the interval for this
operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
PEUGEOT will not accept responsi-
bility for the cost incurred in repairing
your vehicle or for rectifying mal-
functions resulting from the installa-
tion of accessories not supplied and
not recommended by PEUGEOT
and not installed in accordance with
its instructions, in particular when
the combined consumption of all of
the additional equipment connected
exceeds 10 milliamperes.
Installing electrical accessories
Your vehicle's electrical system is
designed to operate with standard
or optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical
equipment or accessories on your
vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
CHANGING A FUSE
Access to tooling
The extraction tweezer is fi tted to the
back of the dashboard fusebox cover.
For access to them:
)
turn the screw a quarter of a turn to
the left,
)
unclip the cover by pulling the top
right,
)
disengage and pull away the cover,
)
remove carrier on the back of which
is fi tted the tweezer.
Changing a fuse
Before changing a fuse, you must:
)
identify and correct the cause of the
fault,
)
switch off all all electrical consumers,
)
immobilise the vehicle and switch
the ignition off,
)
identify the failed fuse using the al-
location tables and layout diagrams
in the following pages.
Good
Failed
Tweezer
When changing a fuse, you must:
)
use the special tweezer to extract
the fuse from its housing and check
its fi lament,
)
always replace the failed fuse with
a fuse of the same rating (same co-
lour); using a different rating may
cause faults (risk of fi re).
If the fuse fails again soon after it is
changed, have the electrical system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
