Gearboxes and steering wheel



Manual mode

Manual sequential gear changing.


- Select gear lever position M
,

- push the gear lever towards the + sign
to change up, from 1 through to 6,
In manual mode, 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 automatically
selects first gear.
- conversely, push the gear lever towards
the - sign to change down.
You can change from position D
(automatic mode) to position M
(manual mode) at any time.

Good practice

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.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,

- if you force the gear lever from
position P
to another position in the
event of a battery failure.
When the engine is at idle, brakes not
applied, if position R
, D
or M
is selected the
vehicle moves even without the accelerator
being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the
engine running
.


Operating fault

Any operating fault is indicated by an
audible signal, accompanied by the
message "Automatic gear fault"
in
the screen.
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), keeping
within the limit of local speed restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM(ABS - EBFD)

The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.

Good practice

The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
PEUGEOT. If this warning light comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lights, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
on the display, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.

Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)

In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot. If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking. To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.

Seat belts

SAFETY
4
Triggering of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.


The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening.
The airbag warning lamp comes on if the
pretensioners are triggered.
Contact a PEUGEOT or a qualified
workshop.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:


- restrain one person only,

- must not be twisted, check by pulling in
front of you with an even movement,

- be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Recommendations for children:


- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,

- never allow a child to travel on your lap,
even with the seat belt fastened.
FRONT SEAT BELTS

For further information regarding child
seats, refer to the "Children on board"
section of chapter 4.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your PEUGEOT dealer
guarantees all work or any checks, from
testing to maintenance, on your seat belt
equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly (even
after a minor impact) by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop: they must not show
any signs of wear, cutting or fraying and they
must not be transformed or modified.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by PEUGEOT dealers.



With front airbags

The front seats are fitted with pretensioners
and force limiters.


Without front airbag

If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
without front airbag, the centre passenger's
seat belt does not have a pretensioner.


With bench seat

If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
seat, take care to fasten the correct seat belt
using the correct buckle. Do not invert the
driver's seat belt or buckle with the buckle or
seat belt of the centre seat. Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they will
not fulfi l their role completely. If the seats are
fi tted with armrests, the lap part of the seat
belt should always pass under the armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.
