Gear Shift Indicator - PEUGEOT 2008 Handbook

Driving
F Move the selector towards the - sign to
change down a gear.
Gears are shifted only if the vehicle's speed
and engine speed allow; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in automatic
mode.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in
the instrument panel.
If the engine is under-revving or over-revving,
the gear selected flashes for a few seconds,
then the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or crawling, the
gearbox engages first gear automatically.
The sport and snow programmes are
inactive in manual mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can engage
position P or N to place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
If the selector is not in position P, when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is switched
off, a warning message appears on the
screen.
F Return the selector to position P; the
message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking pace.
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a warning
message on the screen, indicates a
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3 rd gear. You may feel a
substantial jolt when changing from P to R and
from N to R. This will not cause any damage to
the gearbox.
Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshopas soon as possible.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,
- if you force the selector from position P
to another position when the battery is
flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam, etc.), put the
selector in position N and apply the
parking brake.

Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
equipment of your vehicle, the system may
