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.

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 abnormality

Any operating abnormality is indicated by

an audible signal, accompanied by the

message

"Automatic gear fault" on the

display and flashing of the Snow snowflake

on the instrument panel.

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 as soon as

possible.

You can return to the automatic

programme at any time.



Press button

again to switch off the

programme you are in.

Snow programme

In addition to the automatic

programme, there is a special

Snow programme.

This improves starting and drive

when traction is poor.

The snowflake appears on the instrument

panel display.

STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT AND

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

When the vehicle is stationary, unlock the

steering wheel by lowering the lever.

Adjust the height and depth of the steering

wheel, then lock by pushing the lever fully

upwards.

MANUAL GEARBOX

5-speed gearbox

6-speed gearbox

To change gear easily, always press the

clutch pedal fully.

To prevent the mat from becoming caught

under the pedal:

- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.

When driving, avoid leaving your hand on

the gear knob as the force exerted, even if

slight, may wear the internal components of

the gearbox over time.

6-speed reverse gear

Raise the collar under the gear knob to

engage reverse gear.

Never engage reverse gear before the

vehicle is completely stationary.

The lever should be moved slowly to reduce

the noise on engaging reverse gear.

STARTING AND STOPPING

STOP

position: steering lock.

The ignition is off.

Running and accessories position.

Certain accessories can be used.

Starting position.

The starter is operated.

Good practice when starting

Diesel pre-heating warning light
Turn the key to the Running

position.

In cold weather, wait for this

warning light to switch off then operate the

starter (Starting position) until the engine

starts.

If the temperature is high enough, the

warning light comes on for less than one

second, you can start without waiting.

Handbrake
On the version with rotating front seat, the

handbrake can be disengaged. Pulling the

handbrake to immobilise the vehicle then

lowering the lever does not release the

brake, it makes rotation of the driver’s seat

easier.

Also, do not forget to raise the lever again

and release the handbrake fully before

setting off again. The warning light on the

instrument panel will remain on as in this

configuration a lowered lever does not mean

that the brake is released.

The warning light switches off

when the brake is released.

Good practice when stopping

Minimise engine and gearbox wear
When switching off the ignition, let the

engine run for a few seconds to allow the

turbocharger to return to idle.

Do not press the accelerator when

switching off the ignition.

There is no need to engage a gear after

parking the vehicle.

Good practice on long journeys

When travelling far from home, take the

confidential card with you just as you

would take your personal papers. In other

circumstances, keep this confidential card in

a safe place, never in the vehicle.

Make a note of the coded number on the

label attached to the key and of the code

etched on the head of the anti-theft socket

(if your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels).

This action enables you to position the

wiper blades for winter parking, cleaning or

replacement.

Vehicle fitted with the

automatic windscreen

wipers control

Press downwards.

Do not cover the rain sensor located in the

centre of the fascia.

On vehicles which are fitted with this control,

in the

AUTO position, the windscreen wipers

operate automatically and

adapt their

speed to the intensity of the rainfall.

When not in

AUTO mode, for the other

positions, refer to the manual windscreen

wipers section.

The command must be reactivated

whenever the ignition has been switched

off for more than one minute:

CRUISE CONTROL "CRUISE"

"This is the speed at which the driver wishes

to drive".

This aid to driving in free-flowing traffic

enables the vehicle to maintain the speed

programmed by the driver, unless a steep

gradient makes this impossible.

In order for it to be programmed or

activated, the vehicle speed must be greater

than 25 mph (40 km/h) with at least 4th gear

engaged in the case of vehicles fitted with a

manual gearbox.

On vehicles fitted with an automatic

gearbox, the lever must be in position

D (Drive) or at least 2nd gear must be

engaged in manual mode.

If the vehicle is fitted with a speed limiter

and cruise control (according to the country

in which the vehicle is sold and the engine),

these functions cannot be activated at the

same time.

Function selected,

Switching the function off



Place the dial in position

the ignition to switch everything off.

Cancelling the programmed

reference speed

When the vehicle becomes stationary, after

switching off the ignition, the system no

longer memorises a speed.

Good practice

When changing the programmed

reference speed by means of a maintained

press, pay attention as the speed can

increase or decrease rapidly.

Do not use the cruise control on slippery

roads or in heavy traffic.

In the event of a steep slope, the cruise

control cannot prevent the vehicle from

exceeding the programmed speed.

In any event, the cruise control cannot

replace the need to observe the speed

limits, nor can it replace the need for

vigilance and responsibility on the part of the

driver.

To avoid any jamming under the pedals:

- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,

- never place one mat on top of another.

Changing the

programmed speed

There are two methods of

memorising a speed higher

than the previous one:

Without using the

accelerator:


press the

Set + button.

A brief press increases the speed by 1 mph

(km/h).

A maintained press increases the speed in

steps of 5 mph (km/h).

Using the accelerator:


exceed the memorised speed until the

speed required is reached,



press the

Set + or Set - button.

To memorise a speed lower than the

previous one:


press the

Set - button.

A brief press decreases the speed by 1 mph

(km/h).

A maintained press decreases the speed in

steps of 5 mph (km/h).

Operating fault

The programmed speed is cleared and the

dashes flash for a few seconds.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the

system checked.

SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"

"This is the selected speed which the driver

does not wish to exceed".

This selection is made with the engine

running while stationary or with the vehicle

moving. The minimum speed which can be

programmed is 20 mph (30 km/h).

The speed of the vehicle responds to the

pressure of the driver's foot as far as the

accelerator pedal point of resistance which

indicates that the programmed speed has

been reached.

However, pressing the pedal beyond this

point of resistance to the floor permits

exceeding of the programmed speed.

To resume use of the limiter, simply reduce

the pressure on the accelerator pedal

gradually and return to a speed below that

programmed.

If the vehicle is fitted with a speed limiter

and cruise control (according to the country

in which the vehicle is sold and the engine),

these functions cannot be activated at the

same time.

The operating actions can be carried out

when stationary, with the engine running,

or with the vehicle moving.

Function selected,

displaying of the "Speed

Limiter" symbol.

Function deactivated, last

programmed speed - OFF

(example at 65 mph

(107 km/h)).

Function activated

running.

To memorise a speed higher than the

previous one:


press the

Set + button.

A brief press increases the speed by 1 mph (km/h).

A maintained press increases the speed in

steps of 5 mph (km/h).

48

Switching the function off



Place the dial in position

the ignition to switch the system off. The

last programmed speed remains in the

memory.

Exceeding the programmed speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal in order to

exceed the programmed speed will have

no effect unless you press the pedal

firmly

beyond the

point of resistance.

The limiter is deactivated temporarily and the

programmed speed flashes.

To return to the limiter function, reduce your

speed to below the programmed speed.

Flashing of the speed

The speed flashes:

- following forcing of the accelerator point of

resistance,

- when the limiter cannot prevent an

increase in the vehicle speed due to the

profile of the road or on a steep descent,

- in the event of sharp acceleration.

Good practice

In any event, the speed limiter cannot

replace the need to observe speed limits,

nor can it replace the need for vigilance and

responsibility on the part of the driver.

Always pay attention to the profile of the

road and take care on sharp acceleration.

To avoid any jamming under the pedals:

- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,

- never place one mat on top of another.

Operating fault

The programmed speed is cleared and the

dashes flash for a few seconds.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the

VENTILATION

CORRECT USE OF THE AIR

CONDITIONING

In all seasons, if fitted on your vehicle, the

air conditioning should only be used with

the windows closed. However, if the interior

temperature remains high after a prolonged

period parked in the sun, do not hesitate to

ventilate the passenger compartment for a

few minutes.

Good practice

If your vehicle is fitted with automatic

air conditioning, use the AUTO mode

as much as possible as it permits

optimised control of all of the functions

:

air flow, passenger compartment comfort

temperature, air distribution, air intake

mode or air recirculation in the passenger

compartment.

Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to

10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keep

it in perfect working order.

It is normal that the condensation created by

the air conditioning system results in a flow

of water which may form a puddle under the

vehicle when parked.

If the system does not produce cold air,

do not use it and contact your PEUGEOT

dealer.

Passenger compartment filter,

carbon filter

Ensure that this filter is in good condition and

have all of the filter elements replaced regularly.

Refer to the "Checks" section of

chapter 7.

VENTS

"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot

or cool air in the passenger compartment,

there are adjustable central and side vents

which can be directed sideways (right or

left) towards the top of the body. For your

comfort while driving, do not close them,

direct the flow of air towards the windows

instead.

The air vents directed towards the floor of

the vehicle complete the equipment.

Ventilation
