it  is  essential  to  disarm  the  pas-
senger  air  bag  when  you  install  a 
rear- facing  child  seat  on  the  front 
passenger  seat.  Otherwise,  the 
child would risk being seriously in-
jured or killed if the air bag were to

  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  
 moving very slowly, the gearbox auto-
matically 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  operates 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.

tion   M  (driving in manual mode) at any 
time. 
  The auto-adaptive programme 
   
     select  position    D   in  the  gate:  the 
gearbox  operates  in  auto-adap- 
tive  mode,  without  any  action  on 
your  part,  taking  into  account  the 
following parameters: 
   -   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  
without  touching  the  lever,  press  the 
accele rator  down  fully  (kick  down). 
The  programme  will  change  down 
automatically  or  will  stay  in  the  gear 
selected  until  the  maximum  engine 
speed is reached.

     Press  button        once  the  vehicle 
has  been  started  and  position    D  
has  been  selected,  the  auto-adap-

mance  of  the  vehicle  to  the  condi-
tion of the slippery road.  
 You can deactivate the Sport or Snow 
programme  at  any  time  by  pressing 
the button selected.   
 Releasing  the  accelerator 
sharply does not have any im-
mediate effect on the speed of 
the vehicle.  
 Never  select  position    N   when 
the vehicle is moving.  
 Never  select  positions    P   or    R  
unless the vehicle is stationary. 
 Never  change  between  positions  to  
optimise  braking  on  a  slippery  sur-
face.      I f    t h e    b a t t e r y    i s    fl   a t    a n d    t h e

or  there  is  a  risk  the  gearbox  may  be 
damaged.
