steering mounted controls.
th
e use of these controls permits manual

exit from a car park with a steep gradient,
over taking...).
th

e gearbox engages the gear requested if
the engine speed permits it.

As the engine torque is applied to all
four wheels, the condition of the tyres
has a considerable impact on the
performance of the vehicle.
en
sure that all four tyres are in good
condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in sandy or
muddy areas or in other areas in which
the wheels could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the
transmission components under
pressure and could cause a serious
malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through deep
water.
Avoid driving over excessively uneven
terrain (risk of scraping under the body
or of grounding on crossing a bridge).
Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode display
flashes, the vehicle switches automatically to
front "2WD" transmission mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A .
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is displayed on
the instrument panel, let the transmission cool
down then wait for the display to clear before
setting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed alternately
and if "S
eR

VIC
e
R
eQuI
R
eD
" is displayed in
the instrument panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay. Have your vehicle towed on a
flatbed.
th

e vehicle must not be towed with the
front or rear wheels on the ground even
if it is in front "2WD" (2 wheel drive)
mode.If the replacement of a tyre is
necessary on 4-wheel drive versions,
it is recommended that all four tyres be
replaced at the same time, ensuring
that the same make, model and size is
used on all wheels.
th

is is because using tyres of different
sizes, structure or rate of wear could
damage transmission components.

below 6 mph (10 km/h).
th

e front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than five seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h). Remember to deactivate the system if
towing a trailer or caravan.In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sound
sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, etc.) may trigger the audible
signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event of an problem, when reverse gear
is engaged this lamp in the button flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal.
th

is supplements the audible
signal by displaying bars in the
screen, in front of or behind the
vehicle. If one of the sensors is faulty, it
