Coolant temperature indicator
When the needle is in zone A , the
temperature is correct.
When the needle is in zone B , the
temperature is too high.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on
(linked with the STOP warn-
ing light), stop immediately.
Wait for the engine to cool
down before topping up the level, if
necessary.
As the cooling circuit is pres-
surised, in order to prevent
any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap and top up the level with
coolant, if necessary.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

Gear selection gate
Move the lever in the gate to select
a position.
The indicator light corresponding to
the position selected appears on the
instrument panel screen.
P ark: to immobilise the vehicle and to
start the engine, with the handbrake on.
R everse: to reverse (select this posi-
tion with the vehicle stationary, engine
at idle).
N eutral: to start the engine and to park,
with the handbrake on.
Note: if position N is inadvertently en-
gaged while driving, allow the engine
to return to idle before engaging posi-
tion D then accelerate.
D rive: to drive in automatic mode.
M anual: to drive selecting the gears.
S : sport programme.
: snow programme.
'PORSCHE TIPTRONIC SYSTEM' AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
The six speed automatic gearbox of-
fers, as required, the comfort of the
auto-adaptive programme enhanced
by a selection suited to dynamic driv-
ing conditions: sport, or to driving on a
slippery road: snow.
However, manual selection is still pos-
sible using the gear lever.
Moving Off
With the engine running, move off from
position P :
to exit position P, it is essential
to press the brake pedal,
select position R , D or M , then
gradually release the pressure on
the brake pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately.
To move off from position N :
with your foot on the brake, release
the handbrake,
select position R , D or M , then
gradually release the pressure on
the brake pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately.
Starting the engine
with the handbrake on, select posi-
tion P or N in the gate,
turn the ignition key. Always keep your foot on the
brake on a steep incline.
When the engine is at idle,
brakes not applied, if posi-
tion R , D or M is selected, the vehicle
moves even without the accelerator
being pressed.
Do not leave children unsupervised
inside the vehicle, with position
R, D or M selected, with the en-
gine running, as the vehicle moves
even without the accelerator being
pressed.
With the ignition off, if the le-
ver is not in position P , an
audible signal is heard when
the driver's door is opened, or
after approximately 45 seconds. Move
the lever to position P . The audible
signal ceases.

CHANGING A WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADE
ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, certain
electrical functions can be used for a
maximum duration of approximately
one hour, to prevent discharging of the
battery.
LOAD REDUCTION FUNCTION
When driving, certain functions (air
conditioning, heated rear screen,
heating system for passenger com-
partment of diesel vehicles, etc.) may
be switched off temporarily, depending
on the level of battery charge.
Reactivation of these functions is
automatic, once the battery charge is
s u f fi c i e n t .
Note: at the risk of discharging
the battery, the functions that
have been switched off may be
reactivated manually.
Note: if the telephone is being
used when economy mode
starts, it will still be possible to
fi n i s h t h e c a l l .
A fl a t b a t t e r y p r e v e n t s t h e
engine from starting.
Replacing a blade
Lift the arm, then unclip the blade
and remove it.
Fit the new blade and fold down
the arm.
To reposition the blades, switch on the
ignition and operate the windscreen
wiper stalk. Once the hour is over, a switching to
economy mode message appears
on the multi-function display and the
active functions are put on standby.
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically next time the vehicle is driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, the engine
must be started and left to run for a
few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
approximately double the duration
for which the engine is left running.
However, this period will always be
b e t w e e n fi v e a n d t h i r t y m i n u t e s .
T h i s t i m e m a y b e s i g n i fi c a n t l y
reduced if the battery charge
is low.
Placing the wiper blades in the
maintenance position
Less than one minute after switch-
ing off the ignition, press the wind-
screen wiper stalk down once
to position the blades at the top
of the windscreen (maintenance
position).

In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars which have been
tested and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle and that the tow-
b a r i s fi t t e d b y a P E U G E O T d e a l e r .
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heavi-
est loads are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight is close
to the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope in-
creases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
Note: in certain cases of par-
ticularly arduous use (towing
the maximum load in high
temperatures), the engine au-
tomatically limits its power and selects
the appropriate automatic gearbox
gear in manual mode. In this case,
cutting off the air conditioning allows
the engine power to be recovered, and
therefore the towing capacity to be in-
creased.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (label on the central
door pillar on the driver's side) and of
the trailer towed, observing the recom-
mended pressure.
