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 position R, D or M is
selected the vehicle
moves even without the
accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave
children unsupervised inside the
vehicle, with the engine running .
If the lever is not in position P,
an audible signal is heard and a
message appears when the driver's
door is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is
switched off.
Move the lever to P. The audible
signal stops and the message
disappears. 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 programmes
In addition to the auto-adaptive
programme, there are two special
programmes.
The programme is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
Sport programme
F Press button S once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox automatically favours
sporty driving and more dynamic
acceleration.
Snow programme
This programme 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 programme at any time.
F Press button S or
T again to
switch off the programme 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
vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any
action on your part.
For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever, press
the accelerator pedal down as far as
it will go (kickdown). The gearbox
will automatically change down or
maintain the gear selected until
maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox will
automatically change down in order
to provide eficient engine braking.
If you take your foot off the
accelerator 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
position 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
temporarily 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
automatically selects gear
M1.
Programme S (sport) and
T (snow)
do not operate in manual mode.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnorma-
lity is indicated by the
displaying of this warning
light, an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function display.
In this situation the gearbox operates
in downgrade mode (locked in 3
rd
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
positions).

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
programmed speed of at least
18 mph (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.
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
activating the limiter.
Press buttons
2 and 3 briely to
decrease or increase by 1 mph
(1 km/h).
An extended press decreases or
increases 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
position. The limiter is not yet
active. By default, the display
indicates: Activating / deactivating the
limiter
Pressing button
4 once activates
the limiter, pressing the button again
deactivates it.
When the limiter is active, the display
indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
* According to country.

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
system 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,
accompanied 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
acceleration, the speed
limiter will not be able to
prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed
speed.
In any event, the speed limiter
cannot replace the need to observe
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 it one mat on top of another.
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 temporarily
and the speed displayed on the
instrument panel lashes (e.g. at
70 mph (110 km/h)):
