tralised. Contact your PEUGEOT
dealer.
When the vehicle is parked, theexterior mirrors can be folded
back manually. Automatically adjustable mirrors for parking These allow you to see the ground (kerb, wall...) when carrying out park-
ing manoeuvres in reverse gear.
Tilting the mirror to the parking posi- tion:
 switch on the direction indicatoron the parking side,
 engage reverse gear. The exterior mirror corresponding to the side on which you are park-ing tilts downwards.
Returning the mirror to the previousposition:  change out of reverse gear.
Note: to be active, this function must
be initialised by adjusting the mirror,with reverse gear engaged and thedirection indicator on the side of themirror to be adjusted switched on. Each remote control can memorise a specific setting.
The driver's mirror is con- vex in order to eliminatethe 'blind spot' (area atedge defined by a dottedline).
As a result, objects observed inthe driver's and passenger's mir-rors are in reality closer than they
appear. This must be taken into account to judge correctly the distance ofvehicles approaching frombehind.

PORSCHE TIPTRONIC system' AUTOMATIC GEARBOX The four speed automatic gearbox offers a choice between the comfort of inte-
gral automatic operation , enhanced by a sportand a snow programme, or the
pleasure of manual gear changing .
Gear selection gate  Move the lever in the gate to select a function. Once the function is selected, the corresponding indicator light appears on the instrument panel screen.
S: sport programme.
$ : snow programme.
P ark: to immobilise the vehicle and to start the
engine , with the handbrake on or off.
R everse: to reverse(select this function with the vehi-
cle stationary, engine at idle). N eutral: to start the engine and to park, with the hand-
brake on. Note: if position Nis inadvertently engaged while dri-
ving, allow the engine to return to idle before engaging function Dto accelerate.
D rive: for driving in automatic mode.
M anual: for drivingin manual mode.
Moving Off
With the engine running, to move off from position P:
 it is essential to press the brake
pedal to exit position P,
 select function R, D or M, then
gradually release the pressure onthe brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
You can also move off from positionN :
 release the handbrake, with yourfoot on the brake,
 select function R, D or M, then
gradually release the pressure onthe brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
WARNING When the engine is at idle, brakes not applied, if function R, D or Mis

Notes It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and enginespeed permit. If they do not, the vehicle willoperate temporarily in automatic mode. When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox automaticallyselects gear M1.
Programmes S(sport) and $(snow) do not
operate in manual mode.
Operating abnormality Any operating abnormality isshown by illumination of this warn-ing light, accompanied by an audi-ble signal and the message 'Auto-
matic gearbox faulty' on the
multi-function display. In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear). Youmay feel a substantial knock when selectingreverse from Pto Rand from Nto R(this will
not cause any damage to the gearbox). Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.Automatic operation Automatic changing of the four gears:
select function Din the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most suitable gear according to the follow-ing parameters:
Ð the style of driving,
Ð the road profile,
Ð the vehicle load.The gearbox is then operating in auto- adaptive mode, without any action onyour part.
WARNING Never select function N when the vehi-
cle is moving.Never select functions Por Runless
the vehicle is stationary.Never change betwen functions to optimise braking on a slippery surface. Notes For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever, pressthe accelerator pedal down as far as it
will go (kickdown). The gearbox willautomatically change down or main-tain the gear selected until maximumengine speed is reached. When the brake is applied, the gear- box will automatically change down in
order to provide efficient engine brak-ing.
If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not change
to a higher gear for reasons of safety. Sport and snow programmes In addition to the auto-adaptive pro- gramme, there are two special pro-grammes.The programme is displayed on theinstrument panel screen. Sport programme
Press button
Sonce the vehicle has
been started and function Dselected.
The gearbox automatically favours sporty driving and more dynamicacceleration. Snow programme This programme improves starting and
drive when traction is poor.
Press button $once the vehicle has
been started and function Dselected.
The gearbox adapts to driving on slip-pery roads. Note: you can return to the auto-adap-
tive programme at any time.
Press button Sor $again to switch
off the programme you are in.
Manual operationManual changing of the four gears:
select function Min the gate,
push the lever to the +sign to
change to a higher gear,

Operating check
When a malfunction of the sys- tems occurs, the switch lightflashes and the warning lightcomes on, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-
sage 'ESP/ASR system faulty' on the
multi-function display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.
Disarming the ASR/ESP systems In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground...), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR system,so that the wheels can move freelyand regain grip.
Press the 'ESP OFF'
switch, located under thesteering wheel to the left.
The switch lights up and thewarning light comes on,accompanied by an audiblesignal and the message
'ASR/ESP system de-acti-vated' on the multiÐfunction
display : the ASR and ESP systems
no longer have any effect on theengine operation. These are triggered again :
 automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
 manually by pressing the switchagain.DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) AND
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) These systems are linked and com-
plementary to the ABS system. In the event of a significant variation between the trajectory of the vehicle
and the path required by the driver,
the ESP system acts automaticallyon the engine and on the brake ofone or more wheels, to put the vehi-cle back on course. The traction control (ASR) system optimises drive, in order to avoid thewheels slipping, by acting on thebrakes of the drive wheels and onthe engine. It also enables the direc-tional stability of the vehicle to beimproved during acceleration. Operation of the ESP
and ASR systems
When one of the two sys-tems is in operation, thisindicator light flashes.
The ESP system offers exceptional safety in nor-mal driving, but this shouldnot encourage the driver totake extra risks or drive at
high speed. The correct functioning of this sys- tem depends on observation of themanufacturer's recommendationsregarding wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components and theelectronic components, as well asthe PEUGEOT assembly andoperation procedures. After an impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer

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 mph (40 km/h) or 40 mph
(60 km/h), (according to engine),with at least 4th gear engaged
(2nd gear for the automatic gear-box). Operation
 Place the ring of switch 1in the ON
position. The indicator lightwill come on accompaniedby an audible signal.
A speed can be memorised.
 Place the ring of switch 1 in the OFF position to cancel.
Memorising a speed As soon as you reach the chosen speed, push stalk 1upwards or
downwards. This memorises thespeed, which will be maintained
automatically. Note : it is possible to accelerate
momentarily without disarming the cruise control. Cancelling the memorised speed
If you wish to cancel the memorisedspeed :
 Pull stalk 1towards you or press
the brake or clutch pedal.
Recalling the memorisedspeed
After cancellation, flick stalk 1 upwards or downwards. Your vehicle
will return to the last memorised speed.
Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than the previous one:
 keep stalk 1pressed upwards;
 release it when you have reachedthe required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than theprevious one :  keep stalk 1pressed downwards;
 release it when you have reachedthe required speed.
Disarming the cruise control  place the ring in the OFFposition
or switch off the ignition.
Do not use cruise control on slippery roads or inheavy traffic.
