Stopping The Engine - PEUGEOT 107 Handbook

Stopping - Moving off on a
slope
The gearbox is an electronically controlled
manual gearbox without a clutch pedal.
To hold the vehicle on a slope, it is necessary
to use the brake pedal or the parking brake and
not the accelerator pedal.
When moving off on a slope, accelerate
progressively while releasing the parking brake.
EASY mode (automatic
mode)
Select position E using the gear lever.
The gear engaged is displayed in the
instrument panel screen.
The gearbox continuously selects the most
suitable gear.
If you press the accelerator pedal
beyond the point of resistance, the
2 Tronic gearbox gearbox changes
down for sharper acceleration.
Temporarily taking control of
gear changes
You can temporarily take control of gear
changes using the "+" and "-" steering
mounted controls; if the engine speed allows,
the gear change command is acted on.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations such as overtaking a vehicle or
approaching a corner.
After a few moments with no action on the
controls, the gearbox returns to automatic
control of the gears.
Manual mode
Place the gear lever in position M, then change
up or down using:
- the gear lever, pushing:
- rearwards, "+" to change up,
- forwards, "-" to change down.
- or the steering mounted controls paddles.
The gear engaged is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
If the engine speed is too low, the gearbox
automatically changes down to prevent stalling.
In the event of overheating of the clutch,
position N is selected automatically and the
symbol N flashes accompanied by an audible
signal.

Stopping the engine

Before switching off the engine, you can
change to position N to be in neutral.
In all cases, it is essential that you apply the
parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
On a slope, use the brake to immobilise
the vehicle and place the gear lever in
position N , E or R.
Do not keep the vehicle immobilised
using the accelerator.

starting the engine.
Never select neutral N while the vehicle
is moving.
