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.
W ARNING

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 braking, the gearbox will auto- matically change down in order to
provide efficient engine braking. If you take your foot off the accelera-
tor suddenly, the gearbox will notchange to a higher gear for reasons
of safety.
Snow programme In addition to the auto-adaptive pro- gramme, there is a special programme. The programme is displayed on the instrument panel screen. This programme improves starting
and drive when traction is poor. ☞ Press button Wonce the vehicle

CRUISE CONTROL Cruise control enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed program-
med by the driver, regardless of theroad characteristics and without thedriver having to touch the acceleratoror brake pedals. In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater thanapproximately 25 mph (40 km/h) andfourth or fifth gear must be engaged. The cruise control controls are loca- ted on the steering wheel. Operation ☞Press control A(ON position).
A speed can be memorised.
☞ Press control D(OFF position) to
cancel. Memorising a speed As soon as you reach the chosen speed, press control
Bor C. This
memorises the speed, 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 memorised speed: ☞ press button Dor the brake or
clutch pedal. Recalling the memorised speed After cancellation, press button
E.
Y our vehicle will return to the last
memorised speed. Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than
the previous one: ☞ press button B;
☞ release it when you have rea- ched the required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one: ☞ press button C;
☞ release it when you have rea- ched the required speed.
Cancelling the cruise control ☞ Press control D (OFF position) or

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 theseat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thresholdis reached, the air bags inflate ins-tantly and protect the occupants ofthe vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air bags deflate rapidly so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The air bags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are notserious, for which the seat belt is suf-ficient to ensure maximum protec-
tion. The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obs-tacle and the speed of the vehicle atthe moment of the collision. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. 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 passen-ger air bag is disarmed. Front air bag fault
If this warning light comes on on the instrument panel,
contact a PEUGEOT dealerto have the system chec-ked. Disarming the passenger air bag*

air bag will not be triggered in the event of an impact. As soon as you remove the rear- facing child seat from the front pas-senger seat, turn the air bag switchto the "ON"position, to arm the air
bag and thus ensure the safety ofyour passenger in an impact. Operating check This is confirmed by the light on the instrument panel. If the passenger air bag is armed (passenger air bag switch in the"ON" position), the indicator light
comes on for six seconds when theignition is switched on.
If the passenger air bag isdisarmed (passenger airbag switch in the "OFF"
position), the indicator light
remains on. In all cases, if the light flashes,
contact your PEUGEOT dealer. SIDE AIR BAGS* The side air bags are incorporated into the front seat backs on the door side. They are deployed independently of
each other, on whichever side thecollision occurs. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light on the instrument panel.
