GEARBOX
The four speed automatic gearbox offers a choice between the comfort of integral automatic operation, en-hanced by a sport and a snow pro-gram, or manual gear changing.
Gear selection gate
Move the lever in the gate to select a position.
The indicator light corresponding to the position selected appears on the instrument panel screen.
Park: to immobilise the vehicle and to start the engine, with the hand-brake on or off.
Reverse: to reverse (select this posi-tion with the vehicle stationary, engine at idle).
Neutral: to start the engine and to park, with the handbrake on.
If position N is inadvertently engaged while driving, allow the engine to re-turn to idle before engaging positionD to accelerate.
Drive: for driving in automatic mode.
Manual: for selection of gears.
S: sport program.
: snow program.
Moving Off
With the engine running, to move off from position P:
it is essential to press the brake pedal to exit position P,
select position R, D or M, then gradually release the pressure on the brake pedal; the vehicle moves off immediately.
You can also move off from position N:
 release the handbrake, with your foot on the brake,
 select position R, D or M, then gradually release the pressure on the brake pedal; the vehicle moves off immediately.
Starting the engine
 with the handbrake on, select position P or N in the gate,
 turn the ignition key to the Startposition.
WARNING
When the engine is at idle, brakes not applied, if position R, D or M is select-ed, the vehicle moves even without the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave chil-dren unsupervised inside the ve-hicle, with the engine running.
When maintenance operations need to be carried out with the engine run-ning, apply the handbrake and select position P.

Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four gears:AutomaticAutomatic
 select position D in the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most suitable gear according to the follow-ing parameters:
- the road profile,- the vehicle load.The gearbox is then operating in auto-adaptive mode, without any ac-tion on your part.
If you take your foot off the accel-erator suddenly, the gearbox will not change to a higher gear for reasons of safety.
Manual operation
Manual changing of the four gears:
 select position M in the gate,
 push the lever to the + sign to change to a higher gear,
 pull the lever to the - sign to change to a lower gear.
You can change from position D (driv-ing in automatic mode) to position M (driving in manual mode) at any time.
WARNING
Never select position N when the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to optimise braking on a slippery sur-face.
Notes
For immediate maximum accelera-tion without touching the gear lever, press the accelerator pedal down as far as it will go (kick down). The gear-box will automatically change down or maintain the gear selected until maximum engine speed is reached.
When the brake is applied, the gearbox will automatically change down in order to provide efficient engine braking.
Sport and snow programs
In addition to the auto-adaptive pro-gram, there are two special programs.
The program is displayed on the instrument panel screen.
Sport program
Press button S once the engine has been started.
The gearbox automatically favours sporty driving and more dynamic acceleration.
Snow program
This program improves starting and drive when traction is poor.
 Press button  once the engine has been started.
The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery roads.
Note: you can return to the auto-adaptive program at any time.
 Press button S or  again to switch off the program you are in.
Notes
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed permit. If they do not, the vehicle will operate tempo-rarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox au-tomatically selects gear M1.
Programs S (sport) and  (snow) do not operate in manual mode.

HANDBRAKE
Applying
Pull the handbrake to immobilise your vehicle.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indicated by an audible signal, accompanied by the message "Automatic gear fault"on the multi-function display, by a "-"and flashing of the Sport and Snow warning lights on the instrument panel display.
In this situation the gearbox operates in downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear). You may feel a substantial knock when changing from P to R and from RRN to R(this will not cause any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), respecting local speed limits.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
If the battery is flat and the lever is in position P, it will be impossible to change to another position.
In particular, do not force the lever or there is a risk the gearbox may be damaged.
Illumination of this warning light and of the STOP warn-ing light, accompanied by an audible signal (while the ve-hicle is being driven) and the message "handbrake on" on the multifunction display, indicates that the handbrake is still on or has not been properly released.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels towards the pavement and pull the handbrake.

SPEED LIMITER*
This speed limiter, of the new gener-ation, has a display on the instrument panel to indicate the programmed speed.
It prevents exceeding of the vehicle speed programmed by the driver. When the programmed speed is reached, pressing the accelerator pedal no longer has any effect.
The limiter operates with a pro-grammed speed of at least 18 mph approx. (30 km/h); it remains active regardless of any action on the brake and clutch pedals.
The operating actions must be carried out:
- when stationary, with the engine running,or
- with the vehicle moving.
The indicator light on the in-strument panel comes on at the same time.
Instrument panel display
When the speed limiter function is active, pressing this button displays the distance recorders.
After a few seconds or when this but-ton is pressed again, the display re-turns to the speed limiter function.
Selecting the function
 Place the dial 1 in the LIMIT posi-tion. The limiter is not yet active. By default, the display indicates:
Storing a speed
A speed can be stored without acti-vating the limiter.
Press buttons 2 and 3 briefly to de-crease or increase by 1 mph (1 km/h).
An extended press decreases or in-creases by 5 mph (5 km/h).
A maintained press decreases or in-creases the programmed speed in steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Activating/deactivating the limiter
Pressing button 4 once activates the limiter, pressing the button again de-activates it.
When the limiter is active, the display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
* According to country.

Exceedingthe programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator in order to exceed the programmed speed will have no effect unless you press the pedal firmly beyond the point of re-sistance.
The limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed, which is still displayed, flashes (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
Note: the speed also flashes when the limiter cannot prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed (on a steep descent, in the event of sharp acceleration).
To reactivate the limiter, release the accelerator to slow down to a speed below the programmed speed.
Switching the function off
 Place dial 1 in position 0 or switch off the ignition to switch the sys-tem off. The last programmed speed remains in the memory.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.
Operating fault
In the event of a limiter malfunction, the programmed speed is cleared and the indication below appears:
In the event of a steep de-scent or sharp accelera-tion, the speed limiter will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the speed limiter can-not replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibil-ity on the part of the driver.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly.- never fit one mat on top of an-other.

CRUISE CONTROL*
This cruise control, of the new gener-ation, has a display on the instrument panel to indicate the memorised ref-erence speed.
It enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed programmed by the driver.
In order for it to be memorised or ac-tivated, the vehicle speed must be greater than 24 mph approx. (40 km/h) with at least fourth gear engaged for vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
On vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox, the lever must be in position D at a speed greater than 24 mph ap-prox. (40 km/h), or in at least second gear in sequential mode.
The indicator light on the in-strument panel comes on at the same time.
Instrument panel display
When the cruise control function is activated, pressing this button ena-bles you to display the distance re-corders.
After a few seconds or when this but-ton is pressed again, the display re-turns to the cruise control function.
Selecting the function
 Place switch 1 in the CRUISE position. The cruise control is not yet active and no speed has been memorised. The display indicates in succession:
First activation/memorisinga reference speed
As soon as you reach the chosen speed, press button 2 or 3. This mem-orises the speed and the display indi-cates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
* According to country.
Note: It is possible to accelerate and drive momentarily at a speed greater than the memorised speed. The value memorised flashes. When the accelera-tor pedal is released, the vehicle returns to the memorised speed.
Cancelling the cruise control
If you wish to cancel the cruise control:
 Press button 4 or the brake or clutch pedal.
The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
The indicator light on the instrument panel switches off.

Reactivating the cruise control
After cancellation of the cruise con-trol, press button 4. Your vehicle will return to the last memorised speed. The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
It is also possible to reactivate the cruise control by pressing button 2or 3. The memorised speed will then be the speed at which the vehicle was travelling when the cruise con-trol was reactivated.
Changing the memorised reference speed
To memorise a speed higher than the previous one, there are two options:
Without using the accelerator:
 press button 3;
A brief press increases by 1 mph (1 km/h).
An extended press increases by 5 mph (5 km/h).
A maintained press increases in steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Using the accelerator:
 exceed the memorised speed un-til the required speed is reached,
 press button 2 or 3.
To memorise a speed lower than the previous one:
 press button 2;A brief press decreases by 1 mph (1 km/h).An extended press decreases by 5 mph (5 km/h).A maintained press decreases in steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Cancelling the memorised reference speed
 When the vehicle becomes station-ary, after switching off the ignition, the system no longer memorises a speed.
Switching the function off
 Place dial 1 in position 0 to switch the system off.
Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control mal-function, the memorised speed is erased, the dashes flash for a few seconds:
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.
When changing the mem-orised reference speed by means of a maintained press, pay attention as the speed can increase or decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise control cannot prevent the vehicle from exceeding the pro-grammed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot replace the need to ob-serve the speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly.- never fit one mat on top of an-other.
