position P.
Stopped or parked

Always leave the lever in position P when you get out of your vehicle.
If not, a buzzer will sound when you open the driver's door.

Positions of the selector lever

These positions are displayed on the instrument panel.

P. Park: use with the handbrake.
R. Reverse: this must only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary, engine

at idle.

N. Neutral: if N is engaged by mistake while the car is moving, allow the

engine to return to idle before engaging a new forward gear.

D. Drive: in this position, the four gears change automatically. The gear

change points vary depending on the programme selected.

3. Automatic changing of the first three gears only.
Select this position when you notice frequent changes between third and

fourth gear (town driving or on winding roads).

Operating programmes

Y ou have a choice of three operating
programmes:

– Autoadaptive (normal).
– Sport.
– Snow.
One press on button A or B will

select Sport or Snow respectively.
The selection is displayed on the
instrument panel. Pressing the but­ton a second time will return to the
autoadaptive (normal) programme.

Autoadaptive programme

(normal)
Gear changes are carried out on the

basis of various parameters, such
as:

– driving style,
– road characteristics,
– vehicle load.
The gearbox selects the most suit-

able programme from those in the
memory for the current driving con­ditions.

Sport programme

The Sport programme automatically
favours more dynamic driving.

Snow Programme

In position D, the Snow programme
provides smooth driving suited to
slippery roads in order to improve
traction and stability. Starting is in
2nd gear and changing down is at
low engine speeds.

Special operating features

– During prolonged braking, the

gearbox changes down automati­cally, so as to provide efficient
engine braking.

– If you take your foot off the accel-

erator suddenly (when you are
taken by surprise, for example),
the gearbox will not change up, so
as to improve safety.

– When the engine is cold, the gear-

box automatically selects a spe­cial programme that enables the
engine to reach its ideal tempera­ture more quickly in order to
decrease pollution.

Kickdown

For immediate maximum accelera­tion without touching the gear lever,
press the accelerator pedal down as
far as it will go. The gearbox will
change down automatically or stay
in the gear selected, up to maximum
engine speed.

Any disruption of the sys­tem is signalled by the
simultaneous flashing of

the Sport and Snow
lights on the instrument panel. In
such a case, the gearbox will oper­ate in downgrade mode. You may
feel a substantial knock when
reverse is selected from P to R or
N to R (without any risk of damage
to the gearbox).

Do not exceed 100km/h.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer with-

out delay.
When the engine is idling with the

car in gear, the car will move even
without you accelerating.

Do not accelerate while a gear is
being selected, when the vehicle is
stationary.

When stationary, have your foot on
the brake pedal when selecting a
gear.

Do not accelerate in gear with the
brakes on.

If work needs to be done with the
engine running, apply the hand­brake and select position P.

Do not change down to brake on
slippery roads.

Never select position N when the
vehicle is moving.

Never engage P or R unless the
vehicle is stationary.

Do not leave children inside the
vehicle unsupervised when the
engine is running.

The normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight
vibrations of the brake pedal.

In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing
the pressure.

THE ABS ANTI-LOCK
BRAKING SYSTEM

The ABS system with Electronic
Brake Force Distribution (EBFD)
increases the stability and manoeu­vrabilty of your vehicle, particularly
on poor or slippery road surfaces.

Note: when replacing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that they are
approved.

The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.

Lighting of this warning
lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and the mes-

sage "Braking fault" on
the multifunction display, indicates a
malfunction of the electronic brake
force distribution which could result
in loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.

Stop immediately.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

HANDBRAKE

Applying

When parking, pull the handbrake to
immobilise your vehicle.

Releasing

Pull the handle and press the button
to release the handbrake.

Illumination of this warning
light and of the STOP warn-
ing light, accompanied by an

audible signal (at 10 km/h)
and the message "handbrake on" on
the multifunction display, indicates that
the handbrake is still applied or has
not been released fully.

EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

In an emergency, this system
enables the optimum braking pres­sure to be reached more quickly,
thus reducing the stopping distance.

It is triggered according to the speed
of activation of the brake pedal. The
effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.

24-02-2003

The ESP system offers
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 this sys-

tem depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations
regarding wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components and the
electronic components, as well as
the PEUGEOT assembly and
operation procedures.

After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

YOUR 206 IN DETAIL

107

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)

These systems are linked and com­plement the ABS.

The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act­ing 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 tra­jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.

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.

☞ Press the "ESP OFF" switch,

located under the steering wheel to
the right.

The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems no
longer have any effect on
the engine operation.

These are triggered again:

☞ automatically if the ignition is

switched off,

☞ automatically above 30 m.ph.

(50 km/h),

☞ manually by pressing the switch

again.

Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems

When one of these two sys­tems is operating, this light
flashes.

Operating check

When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
light flashes and the warning
light comes on, accompanied

by an audible signal and the
message "ESP/ASR system not
operational" on the multifunction dis­play.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.

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 air bag is
disarmed.

Front air bag malfunction

If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by a

buzzer and the message
"Air bag fault" on the multifunction
display, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.

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 limiting seat belts.

In the event of a serious collision,
the electronic detectors record and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle: if the triggering thresh­old is reached, the air bags inflate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.

Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu­pants nor their possible exit from the
vehicle.

The air bags will not be deployed in
collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. The
seriousness of the collision depends
on the nature of the obstacle and the
speed of the vehicle at the moment
of impact.

Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.

Note: the gas escaping from the air

bags can be a minor irritant.

Disarming the passenger
air bag*

To ensure the s

afety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
air bag when you install a rear-facing
child seat on the front passenger
seat.

☞ 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 slot
in this position.

The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit through­out the disarming process.

* According to destination.

24-02-2003

YOUR 206 IN DETAIL

109

In the "OFF" position, the passen­ger air bag will not be triggered in
the event of an impact.

As soon as the child seat is
removed, turn the air bag slot to the
"ON" position to re-activate the air
bag and thus ensure the safety of
your passenger in the event of an
impact.

Operating check

This is confirmed by an indicator
light, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the multi­function display.

With the ignition on (2nd notch), illu­mination of this warning light accom­panied by an audible signal and the
message "Passenger air bag dis-
armed" on the multifunction display,
indicates that the passenger air bag
is disarmed (switch in the "OFF"
position).

SIDE AIR BAGS

These are incorporated into the
frame of the front seat back, on the
door side.

They are deployed independently of
each other depending on which side
the collision occurs, in collisions
which could cause injury to the
chest, the abdomen or the head.

Operating check

This is confirmed by a light on the
instrument panel.

It comes on for 6 seconds, each time
the ignition is switched on.

If the indicator light:

– does not light up when the ignition

is switched on, or,

– does not go out after 6 seconds,

or,

– flashes for 5 minutes then stays

on.

For the front and side air bags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:

• Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

• Sit in a normal upright position (passengers must not place their feet on the fascia).

• Ensure there is nothing between the occupants of the front seats and the air bags.
This could hamper the operation of the air bags or injure the occupants.

• All work on the air bag system is strictly forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified personnel of the PEUGEOT
network.

• After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the air bag systems checked.

• The air bag systems have been designed to be fully operational for 10 years after the vehicle has been registered. For
greater safety, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer within ten years following the initial purchase of the
vehicle.

Front air bags

• Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.

• Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.

• Smoke as little as possible; deployment of the air bags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.

Side air bags

• Do not fix or glue anything to the front seat backs. This could cause injury to the chest or arms when the side air bag
inflates.

• Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

CHECKING LEVELS

Engine
Oil level check

Carry out this check regularly and
top up between oil changes; the

maximum consumption is 0.5 litre
per 600 miles (1 000 km).

The check must be carried out with
the vehicle level and the engine
cold.

There are two level
marks on the dipstick:

A = maximum.
B = minimum.

Viscosity grade selection

The oil selected must always meet
the manufacturer's requirements.

Oil filter

Change the cartridge regularly in
accordance with the recommenda­tions of the servicing schedule.

Used oil

Avoid any prolonged contact of used
oil with the skin.

Do not discard used oil down drains
or onto the ground.

To maintain the reliability of the
engines and emission control sys­tems, the use of additives in the oil is
prohibited.

Brake fluid reservoir

– the level must always be above

the DANGER mark on the tank.

– in the event of a significant drop in

the level, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer immediately.

Fluid change

– always to be carried out at the inter-

vals given in the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.

– use fluids approved by the manu-

facturer which comply with DOT4
standard.

Coolant reservoir

Use a coolant approved by the manu­facturer.

When the engine is warm, the coolant
temperature is controlled by the fan.
This may operate with the ignition key
removed. Therefore, as the cooling
circuit is pressurised, wait at least an
hour after switching off the engine
before carrying out any work.

In the event of a breakdown and to
avoid any risk of burns, unscrew the
cap two turns to let the pressure drop.
When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.

Oil change: in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.

– Dipstick: never exceed the maxi-

mum mark A.

– Instrument panel gauge.

– Fully tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace.
– Replace the trim except in the case of a space-saver spare wheel, starting at

the valve passage hole, and press it on using the palm of the hand.

Note: If the vehicle is fitted in production with a wheel anti-theft lock, the trim cap

on the anti-theft bolt is in two parts.

Replacing the wheel in the carrier

– Replace the jack storage box in the wheel.
– Replace the support spacer 3 by clipping it to the space-saving spare wheel.

the vehicle, with the opening towards the front as shown in the diagram above

(for a space-saving spare wheel only).
– Lift the wheel then the carrier and reposition the hook.
– Do not forget to fully tighten the spare wheel carrier retaining bolt.
– Stow the wheelbrace.

change a wheel:

– on level, stable and non slippery

ground,
– with the handbrake applied,
– with first or reverse gear

engaged,
– with the vehicle chocked using

the jack storage box,
– never go underneath a vehicle

raised using a jack (use an axle

stand).

After changing the wheel

– Have the tightening of the bolts

and the pressure of the spare

tyre checked as soon as possi-

ble by a PEUGEOT dealer.
– Have the punctured tyre

repaired and replace it on the

vehicle as soon as possible.
– The space-saver spare wheel

fitted with a 115/70R15 tyre

must only be used temporarily:

–inflation pressure: 4.2 bars

(60 p.s.i.),

–maximum speed: 80 km/h.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF
ALLOY WHEELS

Bolt covers

Alloy wheel bolts are covered by
chrome trims.

Use the yellow tool 4 to remove the
trims before slackening the bolts.

Tool 4 is located:
– on the saloon, on the rear right

inner panel of the boot,

– on the 206 SW, in the jack storage

compartment.

Fitting the spare wheel

If your vehicle is equipped with a
steel spare wheel, when fitting it, it is
normal to notice that the bolt washers
do not come into contact with the
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the cone-shape of each bolt.

Fitting snow tyres

If you fit snow tyres that are mount­ed on steel rims onto your vehicle, it
is essential that you use special
bolts available from your PEUGEOT
dealer.

Anti-theft bolt*

If your wheels are fitted with an anti­theft bolt (one per wheel), the
chrome trim and then the plastic
cover must be removed, using tool
4, before it is unscrewed using one
of the two anti-theft sockets (which
were given to you on delivery of your
vehicle along with the duplicate keys
and the confidential card) and the
wheelbrace 1.

Note: make a careful note of the
code number engraved on the top of
the anti-theft socket. This will enable
you to obtain a duplicate anti-theft
socket from your PEUGEOT dealer.

* According to model and destination.
