With the ignition on, illumination
of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and an alert message in the screen,
indicates of gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up
mode by staying in 3rd gear. You may then
notice a pronounced jerk when changing
from P to R and from N to R. This jerk does not
present any risk to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h) while
keeping to local speed limits.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
You risk damaging the gearbox:
F if you press the brake and
accelerator pedals at the same
time,
F if you force the movement of the
lever from position P to another
position with a flat battery.
To reduce fuel consumption during
prolonged stops with the engine running
(traffic jams...), position the gear lever
at N and apply the parking brake.
