SEAT BELTS
Front seat belt height adjustment :
☞ To lower the attachment point,
squeeze control 1 and slide it
downwards.
☞ To raise the attachment point,
squeeze control 1 and slide it
upwards.
To lock the seat belts
☞ Pull the strap, then insert the end

Front seat belts with
pre-tensioner and force limiter
Safety in the event of a frontal impact
has been improved by the introduction of seat belts with pre-tensioner
and force limiter connected to the
front air bags. Depending on the
seriousness of the impact, the pretensioning system instantly tightens
the seat belts firmly against the bodies of the occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the body of
the occupant in the event of an accident.
Rear seat belts with force limiter
The rear seats are all fitted with a
three-point inertia reel seat belt.
Third rear central seat belt
– pull the belt located between the
two head restraints at the left rear,
– insert the fixed buckle in the black
clasp located on the left,
– insert the sliding buckle in the red
and black (movable) clasp.
To release it, press the black button
of the locking clasp.
To be effective, a seat
belt must be tightened as
close to the body as possible.
Depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact, the pretensioners may be triggered
before and independently of the
air bags.
In all cases, the air bag warning
light comes on.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The system has been designed to
be fully operational for ten years.
For improved safety, have it
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
within ten years of purchase of the
vehicle.

the key is lost, your PEUGEOT dealer can rapidly supply you with new keys.
The high-frequency remote control key is a high-performance system.
Do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock your vehicle without your
knowledge.
The remote control cannot operate if the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition is switched off, except for
reprogramming.
Do not operate the deadlock if there is someone inside the vehicle.
As a safety measure (when there are children on board), remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, even for a
short time.
Do not handle the buttons of your remote control when out of range of your vehicle as you run the risk of stopping it from
working. It would then be necessary to reprogramme the remote control.
When buying a second-hand car:
– Ensure that you are given the confidential card;
– Have the key codes memorised by a PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that the keys in your possession are the only ones
which can start your vehicle.
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system.

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 temporarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox automatically
selects gear M1.
Programmes S (sport) and (snow) do not
operate in manual mode.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is
shown by illumination of this warning light, accompanied by an audible signal and the message 'Auto-
matic gearbox faulty' on the
multi-function display.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear). You
may feel a substantial knock when selecting
reverse 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).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as
possible.
Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four gears:
☞
select function D in the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the following parameters:

– the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-
adaptive mode, without any action on
your part.

Never select functions P or R unless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change betwen functions to
optimise braking on a slippery surface.

For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever, press
the accelerator pedal down as far as it
will go (kickdown). The gearbox will
automatically change down or maintain the gear selected until maximum
engine speed is reached.
When the brake is applied, the gearbox will automatically change down in
order to provide efficient engine braking.
If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not change

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.
ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM
The ABS with Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBFD) increases the stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle, particularly on poor or slippery road surfaces.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
Illumination of this warning
light, accompanied by an
audible signal and the message "Braking fault" on the
multi-function display, indicates a malfunction of the electronic
brake force distribution, which can
cause a loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
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.
MANUAL GEARBOX
Reverse
To change to reverse gear, lift the
ring under the gear lever knob and
push the gear lever to the left then to
the front.
Reverse gear can only be engaged
when the vehicle is stationary with
the engine idling.
