Return to automatic operation
At any time, press the button selected
again to quit the programme engaged
and return to auto-adaptive mode.
Manual operation
Select position M for sequential
changing of the four or six gears.
Push the lever towards the + sign to
change up a gear.
Pull the lever towards the - sign to
change down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too
high, the gear selected fl ashes 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 mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1 automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selec-
tor 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.
i
If the lever is not in position P ,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, an audible
signal is heard and a message ap-
pears in the screen.
Return the lever to position P ;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
DRIVING
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp, ac-
companied by an audible signal
PRND
and a message in the screen,
indicates a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
emergency mode and is locked in 3rd
gear. You may feel a substantial knock
when changing from P to R and from N
to R . This will not cause any damage to
the gearbox.
Do not exceed a speed of 60 mph
(100 km/h), local speed
permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
!
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 lever from
position P to another position
when the battery is fl at.
To limit fuel consumption when sta-
tionary for long periods with the en-
gine running (traffi c jam...), place
the gear lever in position N and ap-
ply the parking brake.
