SAFETY

For the airbags to be fully

effective, observe the

following safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between

the occupants and the airbags

(a child, pet, object...). This could

hamper the operation of the air-

bags or injure the occupants.

Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the

lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your

vehicle, you can contact a PEUGEOT dealer (see "Practical information - §

Accessories").
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause

injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

After an accident or if the vehicle has

been stolen or broken into, have the

airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must

be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualifi ed workshop.

Even if all of the precautions men-

tioned are observed, a risk of injury

or of minor burns to the head, chest

or arms when an airbag is deployed

cannot be ruled out. The bag in-

fl ates almost instantly (within a few

milliseconds) then defl ates within

the same time discharging the hot

gas via openings provided for this

purpose.

Front airbags
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 dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags 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 airbags
Do not fi x or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if

the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fi tted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof,

they play a part in securing the curtain airbags.

CVT GEARBOX

CVT GEA

The six-speed automatic gearbox of-

fers a choice between the comfort of

automatic regulation or the pleasure of

manual gear changing.

This gearbox has two driving modes:
- an automated mode for automatic

control of the gears by the gearbox

and therefore without any action on

the part of the driver,

- a sequential mode for manual

changing of the gears by the driver

using the steering mounted controls

or the gear lever.

It consists of the following controls:
- a gear lever 1 on the centre console

for selecting the driving mode, reverse

gear and neutral or for changing gear

in sequential mode,

DRIVING

Stopping - Starting on a slope

Do not use the accelerator pedal to

immobilise the vehicle on a slope,

apply the parking brake instead.
When starting on a slope, accelerate

gradually while releasing the parking

brake.

Switching to sequential mode

Once you have moved off, you can

switch to sequential mode by selecting

position +/- .
"D" disappears and the gears engaged

appear in succession in the instrument

panel screen.
The gear change requests are only car-

ried out if the engine speed permits it.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal

gently to engage the gear.

Switching to automated mode

Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you

can return to the automated mode by

selecting position D .
"D" appears in the instrument panel

screen.
The gearbox then operates in auto-active

mode, without any action on the part of

the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most

suited to the conditions of:
- driving

style,

- road

characteristics,

- vehicle

load.

To optimise driving comfort and obtain

the most suitable gear, avoid sharp vari-

ations in the pressure on the accelerator

pedal.

Auto sequential mode
In the automated mode, you can take

over control temporarily at any time us-

ing the steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits man-

ual selection of the gears in situations

which require a faster changedown than

that offered in automated mode (arrival

at a roundabout, exit from a car park

with a steep gradient, overtaking...).

Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you can:
- move to position

N to leave the

gearbox in neutral.

- leave a gear engaged, such as fi rst

or reverse.

In both cases, you must apply the parking

brake to immobilise the vehicle.

Operating anomaly

With the ignition on, if the message "Slow

down" or "Maintenance required" ap-

pears in the multifunction screen, this in-

dicates a gearbox malfunction.

remove the ignition key.

Hill start assist

To assist you when starting on a gradi-

ent, your vehicle is fi tted with a system

which immobilises it briefl y (approximate-

ly 2 seconds), the time required to move

your foot from the brake pedal to the

accelerator pedal. This function is only

active when the vehicle has been com-

pletely immobilised with your foot on the

brake pedal and on certain gradients.
Do not get out of the vehicle during

the hill start assist temporary immo-

bilisation phase.
To immobilise the vehicle on a gradient

for a longer period, you must use the

parking brake, not the accelerator.
When starting on a gradient, accelerate

gradually while releasing the parking

brake.

DRIVING

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM

FOUR WH

WITH ELECTRONIC CONTROL

WITH E

4WD AUTO (position 1)
The vehicle operates with four wheel

drive and provides optimum traction re-

gardless of the level of grip.
This is the vehicle's normal and regular

operating mode, the distribution of the

torque between the front and rear axles

is controlled automatically.
The distribution favours the front wheels,

the transfer of torque to the rear wheels

is managed electronically by the control

unit in relation to the level of grip, so

providing optimum road holding.

Three transmission modes are avail-

able and can be selected manually by

the driver in accordance with his re-

quirements.
You can change transmission mode

when stationary or while driving at a

speed below 60 mph (100 km/h) .
The transmission mode can be selected

by turning the control A .

Display in the instrument panel

The transmission mode is displayed

in the form of an intermittent display in

the instrument panel screen when the

transmission mode is selected.

Selecting the transmission

mode

The selection of this mode is

recommended when the level of

grip permits.

2WD (position 3)
The vehicle operates with front two

wheel drive.
This mode corresponds to use on a tar-

macked road on which the driver con-

siders that there is no risk of loss of grip

(dry road).

4WD LOCK (position 2)
The vehicle operates with four wheel

drive in this mode also.
It is recommended when grip is particularly

poor or diffi cult (sand, mud, slopes, ...).

System which permits the selection of

a transmission mode in relation to the

driving conditions.

7

DRIVING

Operating faults

If the selected transmission mode display

fl ashes, the vehicle switches automati-

cally to front "2WD" transmission mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the

transmission mode using the control A .

Do not subject the vehicle to ex-

cessive conditions while driving.
As the engine torque is applied

to all four wheels, the condition

of the tyres has a considerable

impact on the performance of

the vehicle.
Ensure that all four tyres are in

good condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in

sandy or muddy areas or in

other areas in which the wheels

could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the

transmission components under

pressure and could cause a seri-

ous malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through

deep water.
Avoid driving over excessively

uneven terrain (risk of scraping

under the body or of grounding

on crossing a bridge).

Have your vehicle towed on a

fl atbed.
The vehicle must not be towed

with the front or rear wheels on

the ground even if it is in front

"2WD" (2 wheel drive) mode.

If the message "SLOW DOWN" is dis-

played on the instrument panel, let the

transmission cool down then wait for the

display to clear before setting off again.

If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed

alternately and if "MAINTENANCE

REQUIRED" is displayed in the instru-

ment panel, the system has failed and

the safety system has been activated.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-

fi ed workshop without delay.
