Switching to automated mode Reinitialisation
Following disconnection of the battery,
the gearbox must be reinitialised: The brake pedal must be
pressed while starting the
engine.
Never select neutral
N while
the vehicle is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R with the
vehicle immobilised and the brake
pedal pressed.
In all cases, it is imperative that you
apply the handbrake in order to im-
mobilise the vehicle.
On a steep gradient, it is preferable
to switch to sequential mode.
"Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can re-
sume control temporarily at any time
using the steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits
manual selection of the gears in situa-
tions which require a faster change-
down than that offered in automated
m o d e ( a r r i v a l a t a r o u n d a b o u t , e x i t
from a car park with a steep gradient,
overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the gear
requested if the engine speed
permits it.
"AUTO" is still displayed
on the instrument panel.
After a few moments, the gearbox
again controls the gears automatically.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can:
- move to position N to leave the
gearbox in neutral.
- leave a gear engaged, such as fi r s t o r r e v e r s e .
In both cases, it is imperative that you
apply the handbrake to immobilise
the vehicle. Operating anomaly
W i t h t h e i g n i t i o n o n , t h e fl a s h i n g o f
"AUTO" and lighting of the service
warning light, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
multifunction display, indicate a gear-
box malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without
delay.
If you press the accelera-
tor pedal beyond the point
of resistance, the gearbox
selects the gear below to
permit sharper acceleration. - switch on the ignition,
"AUTO"
and "-" appear on the instrument
panel display,
- press the brake pedal,
- wait approximately 30 seconds until "N" or a gear appears on
the instrument panel display,
- release the brake pedal.
The gearbox is operational again.
Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position
A .
"AUTO" and the gear engaged ap-
pear on the instrument panel display.
The gearbox then operates in auto-
active mode, without any action on
the part of the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most
suited to the following parameters:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and ob-
tain the most suitable gear, avoid
sharp variations in the pressure on
the accelerator pedal.

SPEED LIMITER
This speed limiter, of the new gene-
ration, 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
( 3 0 k m / h ) ; i t r e m a i n s a c t i v e r e g a r d -
less of any action on the brake and
clutch pedals.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually: it requires a programmed
s p e e d o f a t l e a s t 1 8 m p h ( 3 0 k m / h ) .
The speed limiter is switched off by
manual operation of the control.
By pressing the accelerator pedal
fi r m l y , p a s s i n g t h e p o i n t o f r e s i s -
tance, it is possible to exceed the
programmed speed temporarily.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below
the programmed speed.
The programmed speed value re-
mains in the memory when the igni-
tion is switched off.
