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 handbrake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the lighting of this warning light, ac-companied by an audible signal and a message on the multi-function display, 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.
Manual operation
 Select position M for sequentialchanging of the four or six 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 under-revving or over-revving, the gear se-lected flashes for a few seconds, 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.
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).

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT
AND/OR REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE
System consisting of four proximity sen-sors, installed in the front and/or rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, barrier...) located behind the vehi-cle, however, it will not be able to detect obstacles located immediately below the bumper.
The parking assistance is switched on:
- by engaging reverse gear,- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.This is accompanied by an audible sig-nal and/or displaying of the vehicle on the multifunction display.
The proximity information is indicated by:
- an audible signal which becomes more rapid as the vehicle approaches the obstacle,- a diagram on the multifunction display, with blocks which move closer to the vehicle.The obstacle is located in relation to the emission of the audible signal by the speakers; front or rear and right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is less than approxi-mately twenty-five centimetres, the audi-ble signal becomes continuous and/or the "Danger" symbol appears, depending on the multifunction display version.
The parking assistance is switched off:
- when you exit reverse gear,- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,- when the vehicle has been stationary for more than three seconds in for-ward gear.
