Notes
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speedand engine speed permit. If they donot, the vehicle will operate tempora-rily in automatic mode. When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearboxautomatically selects gear M1.
Programmes S(sport) and (snow)
do not operate in manual mode. Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is shown by illumination of thiswarning light, accompaniedby an audible signal and themessage 'Automatic gear-
box faulty' on the multi-function dis-
play. In this situation the gearbox operates in downgrade mode (locked in 3rd
gear). You may feel a substantialknock when changing from Pto R
and 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 follo-wing parameters:
- the style of driving,
- the road profile,
- the vehicle load.The gearbox is then operating in auto-adaptive mode, without anyaction on your part.
WARNING Never select function N when the
vehicle 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 accelera-
tion without touching the gear lever,press the accelerator pedal down as
far as it will go (kickdown). The gear-box will automatically change downor maintain the gear selected untilmaximum engine speed is reached. When the brake is applied, the gear- box will automatically change down
in order to provide efficient enginebraking.
If you take your foot off the accelera-
tor suddenly, the gearbox will notchange to a higher gear for reasons
of safety. Sport and snow programmesIn 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 D
selected.
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 D
selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving onslippery roads. Note: you can return to the auto-
adaptive programme at any time.
 Press button S or again to switch
off the programme you are in.
Manual operation Manual changing of the four gears:
 select function M in the gate,
 push the lever to the +sign to

If the battery is flat and the lever is in position
P, it will
be impossible to changeto another position.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THEELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCEDISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the electronic brake force distribution,increases the stability and manoe-vrability of your vehicle on braking, inparticular on poor or slippery roadsurfaces. Note:when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are approved. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning lightcomes on, accompanied bya buzzer and the message"ABS fault" , it indicates
that there is a malfunction of
the ABS, which can cause a loss ofcontrol of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lightcomes on, connected to the
STOPand ABS warning
lights, accompanied by abuzzer and the message
'Braking fault' , it indicates that there
is a malfunction of the electronicbrake force distribution, which cancause a loss of control of the vehiclewhen braking.

EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pres-
sure to be reached more quickly,thus reducing the stopping distance. It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The
effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.Stop immediately. In both cases, consult a Peugeot
dealer.
Normal operation of the ABS maymake itself felt by slight vibrationsof the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.
MANUAL GEARBOX Reverse*
To change to reverse gear, lift the ring under the gear lever knob andpush the gear lever to the left then tothe front. Reverse gear can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary withthe engine idling.
* According to engine.

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

FRONT AIR BAGS These are folded in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,except in cases where the air bag isdisarmed. Front air bag malfunctionIf this warning light comes on, accompanied by abuzzer and the message"Air bag fault" on the multi-
function display, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the sys-tem checked.
YOUR 607 IN DETAIL 133
AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupantsin the event of serious collisions;they work in conjunction with theforce limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the electronic detectors record andanalyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thresholdis reached, the air bags inflateinstantly and protect the occupantsof the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their possible exit from thevehicle. The air bags will not be deployed in collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. Theseriousness of the collision dependson the nature of the obstacle and thespeed of the vehicle at the momentof impact. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note: the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant.
Disarming the passenger air bag*
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the pas-senger air bag when you install arear-facing child seat on the frontpassenger seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being killed or seriously injured ifthe air bag were to inflate.  With the ignition switched of f,
insert the key into the passenger air bag disarming switch 1, turn it
to the "OFF"position, then
remove the key keeping the slotin this position. The air bag warning light on the instrument panel is lit throughoutthe disarming process.
* According to destination

02-02-2004
In the "OFF" position, the passenger
air bag will not be triggered in the event of an impact. As soon as the child seat is removed, turn the air bag slot to the"ON" position to re-activate the air
bag and thus ensure the safety ofyour passenger in the event of animpact. Disarming check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audible sig-nal and a message on the multifunc-
tion display.
With the ignition on (2ndnotch), illumination of thiswarning light accompaniedby an audible signal and themessage "Passenger air
bag deactivated" on the multifunc-
tion display, indicates that the pas-senger air bag is disarmed (switch inthe "OFF" position). SIDE AIR BAGS AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS The side air bags are incorporated in the front and rear seat backs, on thedoor side. The curtain air bags are incorporated into the door pillars and the upperpart of the passenger compartment. They are deployed independently of each other depending on which sidethe collision occurs. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audible sig-nal and a message on the multi-func-
tion display.
If this indicator light comes on, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-sage 'Air bag(s) faulty' ,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.

CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level Check the level regularly and top up between changes. Maximumconsumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles(1000 km). Carry out this check with the vehicle level, engine cold, usingthe oil level gauge on the instru-ment panel or the dipstick.
Dipstick There are two markson the dipstick : A= maximum
Never fill past this mark. B = minimum
To maintain the reliabi- lity of engines andemission control sys-tems, the use of addi-tives in engine oil isprohibited.
Oil change According to the information given
in the 'PEUGEOT SERVICINGGUIDE'.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION 141
Viscosity selection In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer'srequirements. Brake and clutch fluid level:
- The level must always be between
the DANGER and MAXIMUM marks
in the reservoir.
- If the level drops substantially, contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change:
- must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing sche- dule,
- use fluids recommended by the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4standards.
WARNING: brake and clutch fluid is
harmful to health and very corrosive. Used oil Prevent used oil from coming into pro- longed contact with the skin. Do not dispose of used oil, brake and clutch fluid or coolant into drains oronto the ground. Power steering reservoir
 Open the reservoir, with the engi-ne cold at ambient temperature.The level should always be abovethe MINI mark and close to theMAXI mark.
Windscreen and headlamp wash level For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we advise that you use pro-ducts recommended by PEUGEOT(reservoir capacity 4 litres or 6.5 litres with headlamp wash).

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION Sensors check the tyre pressure during driving, and trigger a warningin the event of malfunction (speedgreater than 15mph [25 km/h]). Flat tyre When this warning light comes on, accompanied byan audible signal and themessage 'Tyre pressure
low' on the multi-function
display, have the tyre pressurechecked as soon as possible. Puncture
This warning light, accom- panied by an audible signaland the message 'Punc-
tured tyre(s) detected' on
the multi-function display, is
followed by illumination of the
'STOP' warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-den movement of the steering wheeland the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured orvery deflated) tyre, and have the tyrepresure checked as soon as possible.
Note: if the damaged tyre is temporari-
ly stored in the boot, it will again emitthis message to remind you of the
necessity of having it repaired. This willprevent another warning of the sametype being displayed.
Sensor(s) not detected
This warning light, accom-panied by an audible signaland the message ' X tyre
pressure sensor(s) miss-ing ' on the multi-function
display, indicates that under-inflationdetection is absent from one (or sev-eral) tyre(s).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace the faulty sensor(s). Note: this message is also displayed
when one of the tyres is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or whena wheel without a sensor is fitted.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fittedwith this system must becarried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inflation detec-tion system is an aid to drivingwhich does not replace theneed for the driver to be vigilant
or to drive responsibly. This system does not remove the necessity for having the tyre pres-sure (including that of the spare
wheel) checked regularly, toensure optimum dynamic perfor-mance of the vehicle and to pre-vent premature wear of the tyres,particularly in the case of arduousdriving conditions (heavy load,high speed). The system may temporarily be disturbed by radio broadcasts ona frequency close to it.
