* According to engine.
GEAR CHANGE INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consump-
tion by advising the driver to change up
a gear on vehicles fi tted with a manual
gearbox.
Operation
The system acts solely in the context of
economical driving.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruction with-
out engaging the intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulsory.
In fact, the confi guration of the road, the
amount of traffi c and safety remain deter-
mining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains re-
sponsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated. Example:
- You are in third gear.
The information appears in the form of an
arrow on the instrument panel display. In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the perfor-
mance of the engine (fi rm pres-
sure on the accelerator pedal, for
example, when overtaking...), the
system will not recommend a gear
change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging of fi rst gear,
- engaging of reverse gear,
- engaging of a lower gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

When driving at low speed, on ap-
proaching a stop sign or traffi c lights for
example, the gearbox changes down to
fi rst gear automatically.

AUTO and the gear engaged
appear on the instrument panel.
The gearbox then operates in auto-
adaptive mode, without any action on
the part of the driver. It continuously se-
lects the most suitable gear in relation
to the following parameters:
- driving style,
- road conditions,
- vehicle load.
When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal is triggered.

"Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can resume
control temporarily at any time using the
steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a more rapid change-
down than in the automated mode (ar-
rival 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 on the instrument panel.
After a few minutes, the gearbox re-
sumes automatic control of the gears. "Snow" automated mode
In the automated mode, if the vehi-
cle detects poor grip, the gearbox will
change automatically to the "snow" au-
tomated mode.
Stopping the vehicle

 Select position R , D or M ,

 Gradually release the brake pedal.
The vehicle moves off immediately.
If position N is engaged inadver-
tently while driving, allow the en-
gine to return to idle then engage
position D to accelerate. The gearbox then operates in auto-
adaptive mode, without any intervention
on the part of the driver. It continuously
selects the most suitable gear accord-
ing to the style of driving, the profi le of
the road and the load in the vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the lever, press the accelera-
tor pedal down fully (kick down). The
gearbox changes down automatically
or maintains the gear selected until the
maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effi cient engine
braking.

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. Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen, indicates a gearbox
malfunction.
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 60 mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as
possible.
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 movement of the gear lever from the P posi-
tion to another position when
the battery is fl at.
Manual operation

 Select position M for sequential
changing of the four gears.

 Push the lever towards the + sign to
change up a gear.

 Pull the lever towards the - sign to
change down a gear.

D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
In the event of the engine la-
bouring or over-revving, the
gear selected fl ashes for a few sec-
onds, 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. 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, a mes-
sage appears in the multifunction
screen.

 Return the lever to position P ;
the message disappears.
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.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).

SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator pedal no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on manu-ally: it requires a programmed speed of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by switched offmanual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be ex-ceeded temporarily by pressing the ac-celerator fi rmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below the programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off.

Programming
 Turn dial 1 to the "LIMIT" position: the speed limiter mode is selected but is not switched on (OFF).
Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal fi rmly past the point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the pro-grammed speed, which is still displayed, fl ashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automaticall y cancels the fl ashing of the programmed speed.
Return to normal driving
Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the speed limiter mode is deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.
Operating fault
In the event of a speed limiter mal-function, the speed is cleared result-ing in fl ashing of the dashes. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked. You do not have to switch the speed limiter on in order to set the speed.
 Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4 .
 Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4 : the dis-play confi rms that it has been switched off (OFF).
 Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4again.
 Set the speed value by pressing button 2 or 3(e.g.: 70 mph (110 km/h).
You can then change the programmed speed using but-tons 2 and 3 :
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.

126
CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched onmanually: it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h), as well as the engaging:
- of fourth gear on the manual gear-box,
- of second gear with the "2 Tronic" or automatic gearbox, in sequential mode,
- of position A on the "2 Tronic" gear-box or D on the automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off manu- offally or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on triggering of the ESP sys-tem for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing the ac-celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
The controls of this system are grouped together on lever A .
