SEAT BELTS
Detection of fastening of the front
seat belts
When the ignition is switched on , if a
front passenger has not fastened their
seat belt and if the vehicle speed is below
12 mph (20 km/h) , you are warned by
lighting of the seat belt warning lamp .
The warning lamp switches off when
the seat belt(s) concerned is(are) fas-
tened.
If the vehicle speed is above 12 mph
(20 km/h) , y o u a r e w a r n e d b y fl a s h -
ing of the seat belt warning lamp ,

The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt against the chest of
the occupant, so increasing his pro-
tection.
Rear seat belts

The four or six speed automatic gear-
box offers, as required, the comfort
of the auto-adaptive programme en-
hanced by a selection suited to dy-
namic driving 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, you have 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 parking brake,
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 parking brake on, select
position P or N in the gate,
turn the ignition key. When the engine is at idle,
brakes not applied, if position
R , D or M is selected, the ve-
hicle 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.
When maintenance operations need
to be carried out with the engine run-
ning, apply the parking brake and se-
lect the P ark position.

Auto-adaptive programme
select position D in the gate: the
gearbox operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any action on your
part, taking into account the follow-
ing 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 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 select-
ed until the maximum engine speed is
reached.
When the brake is applied, the pro-
gramme will change down automati-
c a l l y i n o r d e r t o p r o v i d e e f fi c i e n t e n g i n e
braking. 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 mo-
ving very slowly, the gearbox automa-
tically selects gear M1 .
Programmes S (sport) and (snow)
do not operate in manual gear selec-
tion mode.
Any operating abnormal-
ity is indicated by lighting of
this warning lamp, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-function
screen.
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) and
keep within local speed limits.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Operating check
Operation with manual
selection of the gears
select position M in the gate,
push the lever to the + sign to
change up a gear and push again
to change up another gear,
pull the lever to the - sign to change
down a gear and pull again to
change down another gear.
You can change from position D (driv-
ing in automatic mode) to position M
(driving in manual mode) at any time.
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 surface. Sport programme
Press button S once the vehicle
has been started in position D , the
auto-adaptive programme favours
dynamic driving.
Snow programme
This programme improves starting and
drive when traction is poor.
Press button once the vehicle
has been started and position D has
been selected, the auto-adaptive
programme adjusts the performance
of the vehicle to the condition of the
slippery road.
You can deactivate the Sport or Snow
programme at any time by pressing
the button selected.
I f t h e b a t t e r y i s fl a t a n d t h e l e -
ver is in position P , it will be
impossible to change to an-
other position.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER Selecting the function
Place switch 1 in the CRUISE po-
sition. The cruise control is not
yet active and no speed has been
memorised. The display indicates:
Switching the function off
Place switch 1 in position 0 or
LIMIT to switch the system off.
Note: It is possible to acce-
lerate and drive momentarily
at a speed greater than the
memorised speed. The value
m e m o r i s e d fl a s h e s . W h e n t h e a c c e -
lerator pedal is released, the vehicle
will return to the memorised speed.
Cancelling the memorised speed
If you wish to cancel the memorised
speed:
Press button 4 or the brake or
clutch pedal. The display indicates
(e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
Activation/memorising a speed
As soon as you reach the chosen
speed, press button 2 or 3 . This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically. The display
indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)): On a steep descent, the cruise
control, which does not act on
the brakes, is not able to pre-
vent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
In no circumstances does the cruise
control replace the requirement to re-
spect speed limits, nor does it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.
We recommend that your feet remain
near the pedals.
Cruise control function
This enables the vehicle to maintain
a steady speed programmed by the
driver
In order for it to be memorised, the
vehicle speed must be greater than
25 mph (40 km/h) with at least fourth
gear engaged (second gear for the
automatic gearbox),
with the engine
running .

Selecting the function
Place switch 1 in the LIMIT posi-
tion. The limiter is not yet active.
By default the display indicates:
Switching the function off
Place switch 1 in position 0 or
CRUISE or switch off the ignition
to switch the system off. The last
speed programmed remains in the
memory.
Memorising a speed
A speed can be memorised without
activation of the limiter.
Pressing buttons 2 and 3 decreases or
increases the speed.
Short press: +/- 1 mph (1 km/h)
Long press: +/- 5 mph (5 km/h)
Maintained press: continuous increase
or decrease of the value in steps of
5 mph (5 km/h). Activation/deactivation of the limiter
Pressing button
4 activates the limiter,
pressing this button again deactivates it.
When the limiter is active, the display
indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
On a steep descent or if the
driver accelerates sharply, the
speed limiter, which does not
act on the brakes, is not able
to prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
In no circumstances does the speed
limiter replace the requirement to re-
spect speed limits, nor does it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibi-
lity on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain vigilant and
stay in complete control of his vehicle.
The operations must be car-
ried out with the engine run-
ning.
Speed limiter function
This prevents the vehicle speed ex-
ceeding the speed programmed by
the driver (minimum speed of 18 mph
(30 km/h)).
