Recommendations for approved lubricants The oils which appear in the table opposite are suitable for most pur-poses. The diagram opposite states the optimum range of viscosity depend-ing on the temperatures at which theoils are to be used. It is also possible to use synthetic oils of "superior quality". In the absence of semi-synthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ qual-ity (for petrol engines), or CD/CFquality (for diesel engines) may beused by following the "Arduous Con-ditions" servicing schedule, whichspecifies shorter service intervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice
from a PEUGEOT dealer to maintaindriving pleasure and to minimise themaintenance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

Handbrake, low brake fluid level and electronic brake force distribution warning light. This comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
It indicates either: Ð that the handbrake is on or has not been released correctly,
and when coupled with the central (STOP) warning light:Ð an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the light remains on even with the
handbrake released),
Ð lit at the same time as the ABS warning light, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution system.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning light This comes on for 3 seconds each time the ignition is switched on.If it comes on at over 8 mph (12 km/h), it indicates a malfunction of the ABS.
However, the vehicle retains conventional servo-assisted braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Clogging of the partic- ulate emission filterwarning light (dieselengine)
Display of this warning light is accompanied by an audible signal. The flashing of this light while the engine is running is caused either bythe particulate emission filter being
overloaded or by the engine runningtoo long at idle (white smoke from
the exhaust). There is a risk of the fil-ter clogging if the same conditions ofoperation are maintained. As soon as possible, drive for at least three minutes at a speedexceeding 37 m.p.h. (60 km/h),where driving conditions allow this. If the light comes on, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possi-ble. Front brake pad wear warning light
For your safety, have the pads replaced as soon as this light comes on.
ESP Electronic Stabili- ty Programme opera-
tion indicator light
This flashes when the system is operating. It is lit continuously if disarmed or if there is a fault.

Rules for transporting children in the front passenger seat** Children under the age of 10 must not travel in the forwards facingposition, unless the rear seats arealready occupied by other childrenor the rear seats cannot be used(absent or folded). In this case,adjust the front passenger seat tothe most rearward position and armthe passenger air bag. The rearwards facing position is per- mitted from birth to 40 lbs (18 kg). Inthis position, it is essential to disarmthe passenger air bag.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safe- ty of your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these precautions: - Since 1992, all children under the age of 10 must travel in approved child
seats* suited to their weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt.
In order to recognise a child seat which conforms to current legislation, check
that it bears an orange lable indicating the weight range for its use and
its approval number.
- A child weighing less than 20 lbs. (9 kg) must travel in the rearwards
facing position both in the front and in the rear.
- The safest seats in your vehicle for the transportation of children are therear seats.
- If a child travelling on a booster seat, check that the lap section of the seat belt
passes over the child's tighs correctly. The chest section of the seat belt mustbe positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck. PEUGEOTrecommends that you use a booster seat with a back, fitted with a seat beltguide.
- Remember to fasten the seat belt or the child seat harness keeping the slack
in relation to the child's body to a minimum , even for short journeys.
* According to current legislation in the country.
** Consult relevant administration in your country for information regarding the rules for transporting children on the front passenger seat.

THE ALARM SYSTEM*
This offers two types of protection: ¥
external , it sounds if a door, the
bonnet or the boot is opened.
¥ internal , it sounds if there is air
movement in the passenger compartment (a broken windowor movement inside the vehicle).
Note: it also has an anti-tamper
function; if there is an attempt to tam-per with the wires to the siren, the
control unit or the battery, the sirensounds and the direction indicatorslight. Setting
Switch the ignition off and get out of the vehicle. Set the alarm within five minutes fol- lowing your exit from the vehicle bylocking using the remote control (thered light on the switch, visible fromthe outside, flashes every secondand the direction indicators come onpermanently for two seconds).
5 seconds later, internal protection is set.
45 seconds later, external protection is set. When the alarm is triggered, the siren sounds for thirty seconds. After it has been triggered, the alarm is operational again. Note:
if you wish to lock your vehicle
without setting the alarm, lock it using the lock. W arning
When the alarm is triggered, if a
door, the bootor the bonnet are not
closed correctly, the siren sounds fora moment. Close the vehicle correct-ly to set the alarm. Disarming Unlock the vehicle using the remote control key (the direction indicatorsflash for two seconds and the redlight on the switch goes out). Note:
if the red warning light flashes,
it is a sign that the alarm has been
triggered during your absence. Tostop it, switch on the ignition. Note: when the alarm is set, but the
remote control no longer works:¥ unlock the doors using the key and open the door; the alarm is trigge-red;
¥ switch the ignition on within tenseconds;
¥ press the internal protection button1 immediately. The alarm is disar-
med.

Handbrake Applying When parking, pull the handbrake to immobilise your vehicle. Warning: when parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards the pave- ment and apply the handbrake. Releasing Pull the handle and press the button to release the handbrake.
Disarming the ESP / ASR systems In certain conditions (vehicle stuck in
mud or snow, or on loose ground...),it could prove useful to disarm theASR system to make the wheelsspin and regain grip. ☞
Press the switch "ESP OFF",
situated to the left of the steering wheel.
The switch lights up and the indicatorlights come on, accompanied by themessage ''ASR/ESP de-activated''
on the multifunction display: the ESP
and ASR systems no longer affectthe operation of the engine or thebrakes. They engage again:☞ automatically when the ignition is
switched off,
☞ manually by pressing the switchagain. The ESP system offersincreased safety duringnormal driving, but shouldnot incite the driver to take
risks or to drive at high speed.The operation of the system isassured to the extent to which therecommendations of the manufac-turer regarding the wheels (tyresand wheel rims), the braking com-ponents, the electronic compo-nents and the assembly andrepair procedures within thePEUGEOT network are respect-ed.After an accident or impact, havethe system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Operating check When a system malfunctionoccurs, the switch lightflashes and the indicatorlight comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer tocheck the system.
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. Ifthere 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.
Operation of the ASR and ESP systems
When one of these two sys-tems is operating, this lightflashes.

DRIVING YOUR 406 COUPE127
CRUISE CONTROL Cruise control enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed pro-
grammed by the driver, regardless ofthe road characteristics and withoutthe driver having to touch the accelerator or brake pedals. In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater than25 mph (40 km/h) or 37 mph (60 km/h), depending on the engine,and fourth gear at least must beengaged (second gear for the auto-matic gearbox). Operation ☞
Place switch 1in the ONposition.
A speed can be memorised.
☞ Place switch 1in the OFF position
to cancel.
Memorising a speedAs soon as you reach the chosen speed, press button 2or 3. This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically. Note:
It is possible to accelerate and drive
momentarily at a speed greater than the memorised speed. When the acceleratorpedal is released, the vehicle will return tothe memorised speed. Cancelling the memorised speed If you wish to cancel the memorised speed: ☞ Press button 4or the brake or
clutch pedal.
Recalling the memorised speedAfter cancellation, press button 4.
Y our vehicle will return to the last
memorised speed. Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than
the previous one: ☞ press button 3;
☞ release it when you have reached the required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one: ☞ press button 2;
☞ release it when you have reached the required speed.
Cancelling the cruise control ☞ place switch 1in the OFF position
or switch off the ignition.
Do not use cruise control on slippery roads or inheavy traffic. THE ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKINGSYSTEM
When used with approved tyres in
good condition, the ABS increasesthe stability and manoeuvrability ofyour vehicle, particularly on poor orslippery road surfaces. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pres-
sure to be reached more quickly,thus reducing the stopping distance. It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The
effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency. The normal operation of the ABSmay make itself felt by slightvibrations of the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.
