'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

release the handbrake, with your

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.

Instrument panel display

When the speed limiter function is

active, pressing this button displays

the distance recorders.
After a few seconds or when this but-

ton is pressed again, the display re-

turns to the speed limiter function.

Exceeding the programmed
speed
Pressing the accelerator in order to

exceed the programmed speed will

have no effect unless you press the
pedal

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.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
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.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
-

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.

elapsed, the warning light remains lit

until the driver’s seat belt is fastened.

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.
