PEUGEOT 208 Handbook page 87

For best acceleration, when overtaking
another vehicle for example, press the
accelerator pedal firmly to pass the
point of resistance.
"Auto sequential" mode
In automated mode, you can resume control
temporarily at any time using the steering
mounted control paddles.
The use of these paddles permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a more rapid change-down than in
the automated mode (arrival at a roundabout,
leaving a car park with a steep gradient,
overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the required gear if
the engine speed permits. AUTO remains
displayed in the instrument panel.
After a few moments, the gearbox resumes
automatic control of the gears.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
change to position N to be in neutral.
In this case, you must apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle.
Reinitialisation
Following disconnection of the battery, the
gearbox must be reinitialised.
Switch on the ignition.
AUTO and - appear in the instrument panel.
Select position N .
Press the brake pedal.
Wait approximately 30 seconds until N or a
gear appears in the instrument panel.
Release the brake pedal.
The gearbox is operational again.
Operating fault
With the ignition on, if this warning
lamp comes on and AUTO flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen, this indicates a
gearbox fault.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Never select neutral N while the vehicle
is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when the
vehicle is immobilised, with your foot on
the brake pedal.
In all cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
