offers a choice between the comfort
of integral automatic operation ,
enhanced by a sport and a snow
programme, or manual gear chang-
ing .
Gear selection gate

Move the lever in the gate to se-
lect a position.
The indicator light corresponding to
the position selected appears on the
instrument panel screen.

Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four
gears:
 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

(driving in automatic mode) to posi-
tion 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
surface.
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 gear-
box will automatically change down
in order to provide efficient engine
braking.

off the programme 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
automatically selects gear M1.
Programmes 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 indi-
cated by an audible signal, accom-
panied 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 oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substan-
tial knock when changing from P to
R and from N 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. When the vehicle is be-
ing driven, illumination of
this warning light and of the
STOP
warning light, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction

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

Exceeding the 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
resistance .
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 vehi-
cle 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 another.

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
