Automatic changing of the four or six
gears .
Moving off
-
It is essential to press the
brake pedal to exit position P,
- select position R or D,
You can also move off from position N.
-
gradually release the
pressure on the brake
pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately.
- With your foot on
the brake, release
the handbrake,
- select position R, D or M,
- gradually release the
pressure on the brake
pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately. The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the following
parameters:
- the style of driving,
- the road proile,
- 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 to the
end of its travel passing the point of
resistance (kick down). The gearbox
will automatically change down or
maintain the gear selected until
maximum engine speed is reached.
With the engine running, to move off
from position
P.
Automatic mode On a descent, the gearbox will
automatically change down in order to
provide eficient engine braking and
good re-acceleration.
If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not change
to a higher gear for reasons of safety.
6-speed gearbox (Diesel engine):
when stationary with the gear lever in
position
D (drive), a vibration limiting
device is activated by pressing the
brake pedal.
- Select position D.

- press the lever to the +
sign to change to a higher
gear, from 1 to 4 or from 1

to the - sign to change to a
lower gear. You can change from position
D
(automatic mode) to position M
(manual mode) at any time.
Stopping the vehicle, starting
the engine
Reverse gear
- Select position R, with the
vehicle stationary and the
engine at idle.
If the battery is lat and the lever is
in position P, it will be impossible
to change to another position. -
Select position P to
immobilise the vehicle or
to start the engine , with
the handbrake on or off.
- You can also select
position N to park or to
start the engine , with the
handbrake on.
If position N is engaged
inadvertently while driving, allow
the engine to return to idle before
engaging position D to accelerate.
Manual mode
Manual changing of the gears by
pressing.
- Select lever position M, 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.

automatically selects gear
1.
The
 (snow) programme does not
operate in manual mode.

Good practice
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.
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 .
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indicated
by an audible signal, accompanied by
the message
"Automatic gear fault"
on the display and lashing of the Snow
snowlake on the instrument panel.
In this situation the gearbox operates
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.
You can return to the automatic
programme at any time.
- Press button
 again to switch off
the programme you are in.
Snow programme
In addition to the automatic
programme, there is a special
Snow programme.
This improves starting
and drive when traction is
poor. The snowlake appears on the
instrument panel display.
- Press button
 once the
vehicle has been started
and position D selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving
on slippery roads.
