The alert is given by the fi xed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
Under-inflation alert
In the event of a problem on one of the
tyres, the symbol or the message appears,
according to equipment, to identify it.
- Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake applications.
- Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
- In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the
spare wheel (according to equipment),
or
- if you have a compressor, the one in the temporary puncture repair kit for
example, check the four tyre pressures
when cold,
or
- if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed. The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of
the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Operating fault
The fl ashing and then fi xed
illumination of the under-infl ation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "service" warning
lamp, and depending on equipment, the display
of a message indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel spare
wheel).
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have
the original wheel, equipped with a sensor,
refitted.

5-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX
Engaging reverse gear
 With clutch pedal fully down, place the
gear lever in neutral.
 Push the gear lever to the right then
backwards.
Only engage reverse gear when the vehicle
is stationary with the engine at idle.
As a safety precaution and to facilitate
starting of the engine:
- always select neutral,
- press the clutch pedal. When traversing a flooded road or a
ford, drive at walking pace.
6-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX
Engaging 5 th or 6 th gear

Move the lever fully to the right to
engage 5 th or 6 th gear.
Failure to follow this advice may cause
permanent damage to the gearbox
(engagement of 3
rd or 4 th gear by mistake).
Engaging reverse gear
 Raise the ring under the knob and move
the gear lever to the left then forwards.
Only engage reverse gear when the vehicle
is stationary with the engine at idle.
As a safety precaution and to facilitate
starting of the engine:
- always select neutral,
- press the clutch pedal.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Selecting positions
- Move the lever select a position. Once the position is selected, the
corresponding indicator lamp appears in
the instrument panel screen.
Park: position of the lever for
parking.
To immobilise the vehicle or start
the engine. Reverse: position of the lever for
reverse gear.
To reverse the vehicle.
Neutral: position of the lever for
neutral.
To park the vehicle (parking brake
on) and start the engine. Drive: position of the lever for
driving.
To move the vehicle forwards in
automatic mode.
Manual: selection of the gears
by pushing or pulling the gear
lever (+ or -).
To move the vehicle forwards in
manual mode.

Moving off
With the engine running, to move off from
position P .
For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever,
depress the accelerator pedal to the
extent of its travel, passing the point of
resistance (kickdown). The gearbox will
automatically change down or maintain the
gear selected until maximum engine speed
is reached.
On a descent, the gearbox will automatically
change down in order to provide efficient
engine braking and good pickup.
If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not change to a
higher gear for reasons of safety.
When stationary with the gear lever in
position D (drive), a vibration limiting device
is activated by pressing the brake pedal.
- gradually release the
pressure on the brake pedal;
the vehicle then moves off.
- Press the brake pedal to
come out of position P ,
- select position R or D ,
- gradually release the pressure on the brake pedal;
the vehicle then moves off.
You can also move off from position N .
- With your foot on the brake, release
the parking brake,
- select position R , D or M ,
- Select position D . The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear taking account of the following:
- the style of driving,
- the road profile,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-
adaptive mode, without any action on
your part.
Reverse gear
- Select position R
, with the
vehicle stationary and the
engine at idle.
Stopping the vehicle, starting the
engine
- Select position P to
immobilise the vehicle or
to start the engine , with the
parking brake on or off.
If the battery is flat and the gear lever
is in position P , it will be impossible to
change to another position.
- You can also select position N
to park or to start the
engine , with the parking
brake on.
If position N is engaged inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to return
to idle before engaging position D to restore
drive.

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.
When traversing a flooded road or a
ford, drive at walking pace.

STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT AND REACH ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary, release the
steering wheel adjustment mechanism by
lowering the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height and
reach, then lock the adjustment mechanism
by pushing the lever fully upwards.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
This system allows fuel consumption to be
reduced by suggesting when to change up.
Operation
Depending on the driving conditions and the
equipment of your vehicle, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
You can follow this indication without going
through the intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations
should not be considered to be compulsory.
This because the configuration of the
road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This system cannot be deactivated. The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
arrow.
The system never recommends
engaging first gear or reverse, or
changing down.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendations according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, ...) and demands
from the driver (for power, acceleration,
braking, ...).
