'PORSCHE TIPTRONIC
SYSTEM' AUTOMATIC
GEARBOX
The four speed automatic gearbox
offers a choice between the comfort
of integral automatic operation
,
enhanced by a sport and a snow pro-
gramme, or manual gear changing.
Gear selection gate
F Move the lever in the gate to
select a position.
The indicator light corresponding
to the position selected appears
on the instrument panel screen.
Park: to immobilise the vehicle and
to start the engine
, with the hand-
brake on or off.
Reverse: to reverse (select this
position with the vehicle stationary,
engine at idle).
Neutral: to start the engine and to
park
, with the handbrake on.
If position N is inadvertently engaged
while driving, allow the engine to re-
turn to idle before engaging position D
to accelerate.
Drive: for driving in automatic mode.
Manual: for selection of gears.
S: sport programme.
T
: snow programme.
Moving Off
With the engine running, to move off
from position P:
F it is essential to press the
brake pedal to exit position P
,
F select position R
, D or M, then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
You can also move off from position N:
F

foot on the brake,
F select position R
, D or M, then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
Starting the engine
F
with the handbrake on, select
position P or N
in the gate,
F turn the ignition key to the Start
position.
WARNING
When the engine is at idle, brakes not
applied, if position R, D or M is se-
lected, the vehicle moves even with-
out the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle,
with the engine running.
When maintenance operations need
to be carried out with the engine run-
ning, apply the handbrake and select
position P.

DRIVING -
Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four
gears:
F select position D in the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the follow-
ing parameters:
- the road proile,
-
the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any ac-
tion on your part.
If you take your foot off the accel-
erator suddenly, the gearbox will not
change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety.
Manual operation
Manual changing of the four gears:
F select position M
in the gate,
F push the lever to the + sign to
change to a higher gear,
F pull the lever to the - sign to
change to a lower gear.
You can change from position D
(driving in automatic mode) to posi-
tion M (driving in manual mode) at
any time.
WARNING
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 sur-
face.
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 down
or maintain the gear selected until
maximum engine speed is reached.
When the brake is applied, the gear-
box will automatically change down
in order to provide eficient engine
braking.
Sport and snow programmes
In addition to the auto-adaptive
programme, there are two special
programmes.
The programme is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
Sport programme
F Press button S once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox automatically favours
sporty driving and more dynamic
acceleration.
Snow programme
This programme improves starting
and drive when traction is poor.
F Press button T once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox adapts to driving on
slippery roads.
Note: you can return to the auto-
adaptive programme at any time.
F Press button S or T again to
switch off the programme you
are in.
Notes
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 tempo-
rarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox
automatically selects gear M1.
Programmes S (sport) and T
(snow)
do not operate in manual mode.

SPEED LIMITER
This speed limiter, of the new gener-
ation, has a display on the instrument
panel to indicate the programmed
speed.
It prevents exceeding of the vehicle
speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed is
reached, pressing the accelerator
pedal no longer has any effect.
The limiter operates with a pro-
grammed speed of at least 18 mph
approx. (30 km/h); it remains active
regardless of any action on the brake
and clutch pedals.
The operating actions must be
carried out:
-
when stationary, with the
engine running,
or
-
with the vehicle moving.
The indicator light on the in-
strument panel comes on at
the same time.

irmly beyond the point of re-
sistance.
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed, which is
still displayed, lashes (e.g. at 70 mph
(110 km/h)):
Note:
the speed also lashes when
the limiter cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed
speed (on a steep descent, in the
event of sharp acceleration).
To reactivate the limiter, release the
accelerator to slow down to a speed
below the programmed speed.
Switching the function off
F Place dial 1 in position 0
or switch off the ignition to
switch the system off. The last
programmed speed remains in
the memory.

the system checked.
Operating fault
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the programmed speed is cleared
and the indication below appears:
In the event of a steep descent
or sharp acceleration, the speed
limiter will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
In any event, the speed limiter can-
not replace the need to observe
speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.

CRUISE CONTROL
This cruise control, of the new gener-
ation, has a display on the instrument
panel to indicate the memorised ref-
erence speed.
It enables the vehicle to maintain a
steady speed programmed by the
driver.
In order for it to be memorised or ac-
tivated, the vehicle speed must be
greater than 24 mph approx. (40 km/h)
with at least fourth gear engaged for
vehicles itted with a manual gearbox.
On vehicles itted with an automatic
gearbox, the lever must be in position D
at a speed greater than 24 mph approx.
(40 km/h), or in at least second gear in
sequential mode.
The indicator light on the in-
strument panel comes on at
the same time.

pery roads or in heavy trafic.
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 prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
-

SAFETY -
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and manoeu-
vrability of your vehicle on braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
When changing wheels (tyres and
rims), make sure that these are ap-
proved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system ena-
bles the optimum braking pressure to
be reached more quickly, thus reduc-
ing the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated. The effect of
this is a reduction in the resistance of
the pedal and an increase in braking
eficiency.
When braking in an emergency,
press irmly without releasing the
pressure.
Depending on the force of the decel-
eration, the hazard warning lights are
switched on automatically. They are
switched off automatically on accel-
eration.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message, it
indicates that there is a mal-
function of the ABS, which can cause
a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
When this warning light
comes on, connected to the
STOP
warning light, accom-
panied by a buzzer and a
message, it indicates that there is a
malfunction of the electronic brake
force distribution, which can cause
a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very irmly without releasing the
pressure.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
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 and
ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
F Press the "ESP OFF"
switch,
located under the steering wheel
to the right.
Operating check
The ASR/ESP systems
offer exceptional safety
in normal driving, but this
should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking compo-
nents, the electronic components
and the PEUGEOT assembly and
operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on, ac-
companied by a message
on the multifunction display:
the ASR and ESP systems are dis-
armed.
These are triggered again:
F automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
F
manually by pressing the switch
again.
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
light lashes and the warning
light comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.
The warning light lashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated.
Activation of the ASR and ESP
systems
When the ignition is on, the ASR and
ESP systems are always active.
These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing on the brakes of the drive wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra-
jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the en-
gine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course, within the limits of
the laws of physics.

SAFETY -
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions. They
work in conjunction with the force-lim-
iting seat belts. The electronic detec-
tors register and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle in the im-
pact detection zones (see diagram):
if the triggering threshold is reached,
the air bags inlate instantly and pro-
tect the occupants of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags delate rapidly so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in the
case of minor impacts, rear impacts
or in certain roll-over conditions. The
seat belt is suficient to ensure maxi-
mum protection in these situations.
The seriousness of a collision de-
pends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
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.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multifunction display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. The air bags
may no longer be triggered in the
event of a serious impact
Front air bag malfunction
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, in the event
of a serious front impact applied in
the impact zone A in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle, on a hori-
zontal plane and from the front of the
vehicle towards the rear. The air bag
inlates between the front occupant of
the vehicle and the fascia to cushion
his forward movement. The air bags
therefore limit the risk of injury to the
head and chest.
SAFETY
84 -
SIDE AIR BAGS AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS
The side air bags are incorporated
into the front seat backs on the door
side.
The triggering of these air bags re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in the side impact zone B
, perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane
and from the outside of the vehicle
towards the inside. The side air bag
inlates between the front occupant
of the vehicle and the door trim pad.
It therefore limits the risk of injury to
the chest.
The rear side air bags afford the rear
passengers the same protection
which the front side air bags offer the
front passengers.
If the passenger air bag is
disarmed, the warning light
on the instrument panel re-
mains on until the passenger
air bag is reactivated.
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multifunction display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. The air bags
may no longer be triggered in the
event of a serious impact.
Disarming (check)
The curtain air bags are incorporated
in the headlining.
The curtain air bag inlates between
the front or rear occupant and the
windows. It therefore limits the risk of
head injuries. In the event of a minor
impact or bump on the side of the ve-
hicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the
air bag may not be triggered. The air
bag is not triggered in the event of a
front or rear collision.
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
a "rear-facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-
ously injured or killed if the air bag
were to inlate.
F With the ignition switched off,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1, turn
it to the "OFF"
position, then
remove the key keeping the
switch in this position.
In the "OFF"
position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag switch to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact.

SAFETY -
For the front, side and
curtain air bags to be ful-
ly effective, observe the
following safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted
seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (child,
animal, object...). This could ham-
per the operation of the air bags or
injure the occupants.
All work on the air bag systems is
strictly prohibited unless it is carried
out by qualiied personnel of the
PEUGEOT network.
After an accident or if the vehicle
has been stolen or broken into,
have the air bag systems checked.
Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting your
hands on the centre part of the
wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet
on the fascia.
Smoke as little as possible; deploy-
ment of the air bags can cause burns
or the risk of injury from a cigarette
or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.
Curtain air bags
Do not ix or glue anything to the
pillars or the roof. This could cause
injury to the head when the curtain
air bag inlates.
The triggering of an air bag or air
bags is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and
a noise due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated
in the system. This smoke is not
harmful but sensitive individuals
may experience some irritation.
The detonation noise may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, injury or slight
burns to the head, chest or arms
when the air bag is triggered cannot
be ruled out. Indeed, the bag inlates
almost
instantly
(approximately
30 milliseconds) then delates within
the same time discharging hot gas
via the openings provided for this
purpose.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not in-
late.
Side air bags
Only put approved covers on the
seats, these will not hamper the in-
lation of the side air bags. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not ix or glue anything to the front
seat backs. This could cause injury
to the chest or arms when the side
air bag inlates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

Front seat belts with
pre-tensioner and force limiter
Safety in the event of front impacts
has been improved by the introduc-
tion of seat belts with pre-tensioner
and force limiter for the front seats.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pre-tensioning system
instantly tightens the seat belts and
pulls them against the bodies of the
occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are ac-
tive when the ignition is on.
The force limiter eases the pressure
of the seat belt on the body of the oc-
cupant in the event of an accident.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are itted with three
three-point inertia reel seat belts.
