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 accel-erator or brake pedals. In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater than25 m.p.h (40 km/h) or 40 m.p.h
(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.
Your 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 theprevious 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 in heavytraffic. THE ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKINGSYSTEM When used with approved
tyres in good condition, the ABS increases the stability and manoeu-vrability of your vehicle, particularlyon poor or slippery 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.

Ð The jack is fitted with a systemwhich enables it to be folded or
unfolded rapidly. Take the jackfrom the toolkit and close it bypressing the ends A. Place the
jack at one of the four locations E
underneath the vehicle, as closeas possible to the wheel to bechanged. Unfold it by pulling theends A.
Ð Extend the jack using the wheel- brace 1and the extension 3.
Ð Take out a wheel bolt at the top and fit the centralising tool 2.
Ð Loosen the wheel bolts and remove the wheel. Fitting a wheel
Ð Position the wheel using the cen-
tralising tool to assist you.
Ð Tighten the bolts by hand, and remove the centralising tool.
Ð Partly tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace.
Ð Fold the jack and remove it.
Ð Fully tighten the wheel bolts using the wheelbrace.
Ð Replace the centre trim by pres- sing it with the palm of your hand.
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406 COUPE 33
For your safety, always change the wheel:
Ð on level, stable, non-slipperyground,
Ð with the handbrake applied,
Ð with first or reverse gearengaged (position Pfor the
automatic gearbox).
Ð never go underneath a vehiclewhich is supported only by ajack (use a ramp).
After changing the wheel Ð have the tightening of the bolts and the tyre pressure checkedby a PEUGEOT dealer as soonas possible,
Ð have the punctured tyre repaired and refit it to the vehi-cle as soon as possible.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage ofyour vehicle. The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage but
it may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantstress and its driver must be particu-larly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres ofaltitude.Driving advice Distribution of loads:
Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to theaxle and the nose weight approachesthe maximum permitted withoutexceeding it. Cooling: Towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependenton the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient andthe outside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engineas soon as possible. Tyres:
Check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,observing the recommended pres-sures. Braking: Towing increases the brak-
ing distance.Lights: Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.Side wind: Take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
