Pull the handbrake to immobilise
your vehicle.When the vehicle is being
driven, illumination of this
warning light and of the
STOP warning light, ac-
companied by an audible
signal and a message on
the multi-function display, indicates
that the handbrake is still on or has
not been properly released.
When parking on a slope,

"PORSCHE TIPTRONIC
SYSTEM" AUTOMATIC
GEARBOX
The four speed
automatic gearbox
offers a choice between the comfort
of integral automatic operation ,
enhanced by a sport and a snow
program, or manual gear changing .
Park: to immobilise the vehicle or
start the engine , with the handbrake
on or off.
Reverse: to reverse (select this
position with the vehicle stationary,
engine at idle).
Neutral: to start the engine and to
park , with the handbrake on.
Note: if position N is engaged inad-
vertently while driving, allow the en-
gine to return to idle before engaging
position D to accelerate.
Drive: for driving in automatic mode.
Manual: to select the gears.
S: sport program.
T: snow program.
Gear selection gate
F Move the lever in the gate to se-
lect a position.
The indicator light for the selec- tion is displayed on the instrument
panel display.
Starting the engine
F with the handbrake applied, select
position P or N in the gate,
F turn the ignition key to the Starting
position.

Moving off
With the engine running, to move off
from position P:
F it is essential to press the brake
pedal,
F release the handbrake,
F 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.
When the engine is at idle,
brakes not applied, if posi-
tion R, D or M is selected
the vehicle moves even
without the accelerator be-
ing pressed.
For this reason, do not leave chil-
dren unsupervised inside the ve-
hicle, with the engine running .
If the lever is not in position P, an
audible signal is heard and a mes-
sage appears when the driver's door
is opened or approximately 45 sec-
onds after the ignition is switched
off. Move the lever to P. The audible
signal stops and the message disap-
pears. When maintenance opera-
tions need to be carried out
with the engine running,
apply the handbrake and
select position
P. 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.
Sport and snow programs
In addition to the auto-adaptive pro-
gram, there are two special programs.
The program is displayed on the in-
strument panel screen.
Sport program
F Press button S once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox automatically favours
sporty driving and more dynamic ac-
celeration.
Snow program
This program improves starting and
drive when traction is poor.
F Press button T 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.
F Press button S or T again to
switch off the program you are in.
Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four
gears:
F select position D in the gate.
The gearbox automatically adapts
the gear in relation to the style of
driving, the road proile and the ve-
hicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any ac-
tion on your part.
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 braking, the gearbox will au-
tomatically change down in order to
provide eficient engine braking.
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:
F select position M in the gate,
F push the lever to the + sign to
change to a higher gear,
F pull the lever to the - sign to
change to a lower gear.
You can change from position D
(driving in automatic mode) to posi-
tion M (driving in manual mode) at
any time.
Invalid value during manual
operation 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.
In the event of under-revving or over-
revving, the gear selected lashes for
a few seconds, then the actual gear
engaged is displayed.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox au-
tomatically selects gear
M1.
Program S (sport) and T (snow) do
not operate in manual mode.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality
is indicated by the display-
ing of this warning light, an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multi-function
display.
In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (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),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
If the battery is lat and the
lever is in position P, it will
be impossible to change to
another position.
Above all, do not force the
lever as there is a risk of damage to
the automatic gearbox.
This is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).

SPEED LIMITER*
This speed limiter, of the new generation,
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
(30 km/h); it remains active regard-
less 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. Instrument panel display
When the speed limiter function is
active, pressing this button displays
the distance recorders.
After a few seconds or when this
button is pressed again, the display
returns to the speed limiter function.Storing a speed
A speed can be stored without acti-
vating the limiter.
Press buttons
2 and 3 briely 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
increases the programmed speed in
steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Selecting the function
F Place the dial 1 in the LIMIT posi-
tion. The limiter is not yet active.
By default, the display indicates: Activating/deactivating the limiter
Pressing button

Note: the speed also lashes 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
F
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.
Operating fault
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the programmed speed is cleared,
the dashes lash for a few seconds:
This warning light comes
on for a few seconds, ac-
companied by an audible
signal and a message on
the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. In the event of a steep
descent 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 responsibility
on the part of the driver.
If a mat is used which is not recom-
mended by PEUGEOT, there is a risk
that this may slide under the accelera-
tor pedal and prevent it being pressed
beyond the point of resistance.
In this case, it will only be possible
to exit speed limiter mode using the
steering wheel control.
Exceeding the programmed
speed
In exceptional circumstances, use
this mode to exceed the programmed
speed.
Pressing the accelerator in order to
exceed the programmed speed will
have no effect unless you press the
pedal
irmly beyond the point of
resistance .
The limiter is deactivated temporar-
ily and the speed displayed on the
instrument panel lashes (e.g. at
70 mph (110 km/h)):

REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four prox-
imity sensors, located in the rear
bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot de-
tect obstacles located just below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the begin-
ning of the manoeuvre, but may no
longer be detected when the vehicle
comes close to it.
Note: this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle car-
rier is itted (vehicle itted with towing
attachment or bicycle carrier recom-
mended by PEUGEOT).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow. When reverse
gear is engaged, an audible signal
(long bleep) indicates that the sen-
sors may be dirty. The proximity information is given
by:
- an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a graphic on the multifunction display, with blocks which become
progressively closer to the vehicle.
Depending on the multifunction dis-
play, the audible signal is transmitted
by a buzzer or by the rear speakers
which transmit:
- on the right if an obstacle is detected on the right,
- on the left if an obstacle is detected on the left,
- on the right and on the left if an obstacle is detected in the centre.
When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is
less than approximately thirty centi-
metres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and the "Danger" symbol
appears depending on the multifunc-
tion display.
Switching the system off
F Change to neutral, the system is
again inactive.
If there is an operating
fault, when reverse gear is
engaged, the service warn-
ing light comes on, accom-
panied by an audible signal
(short bleep) and a message on the
multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation/Deactivation
Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged.
This is accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and displaying of the vehicle
, de-
pending on the multifunction display. The system can be acti-
vated or deactivated from
the multifunction display
coniguration menu.
The activation and deacti-
vation of the system are memorised
when the engine is switched off.
