braking) or drive at very high speeds.
Operation of the system is guaranteed
on condition that the manufacturer's
instructions regarding the wheels
(tyres and rims), the braking compo-
nents, the electronic components and
the PEUGEOT network assembly and
maintenance/repair procedures are
complied with.
Following an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Warning light on the instru-

When maintenance opera-
tions need to be carried out
with the engine running, apply
the handbrake and select the
P ark position. Sport and Snow programmes
These are two special programmes.
The programme selected is displayed
on the instrument panel screen. It is only possible to change
from one gear to another if
the vehicle speed and engine
speed permit. If they do not,
the vehicle will operate temporarily in
automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox automati-
cally selects gear M1 .
Programmes S (sport) and (snow)
do not operate in manual gear selec-
tion mode.
Any operating abnormality is
indicated by lighting of this
warning light, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the multi-func-
tion display.
In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from P to R and
from N to R (this will not cause any
damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) or
keep within local speed limits.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.

select position D in the gate: the
gearbox operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any action on your
part, taking into account the follow-

- the style of driving,
- t h e p r o fi l e o f t h e r o a d ,
- the vehicle load.
To obtain maximum acceleration with-
out touching the lever, press the ac-
celerator down fully (kick down). The
programme will change down auto-
matically or will stay in the gear selected
