You must press the brake pedal firmly
while starting the engine.
Never select neutral N while the vehicle
is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when the
vehicle is immobilised, with your foot on
the brake pedal.
In all cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
"Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can resume
control temporarily at any time using the
steering mounted control paddles.
The use of these paddles permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a more rapid change-down than in
the automated mode (arrival at a roundabout,
leaving a car park with a steep gradient,
over taking...).
The gearbox engages the required gear if
the engine speed permits. AUTO remains
displayed on the instrument panel.
After a few moments, the gearbox resumes
automatic control of the gears.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
change to position N to be in neutral.
In this case, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
AUTO and - appear in the instrument
panel.

With the ignition on, if this
warning lamp comes on and
AUTO flashes, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the screen,
this indicates a gearbox fault.

6-speed electronic gearbox
Six-speed electronically controlled gearbox
which offers a choice between the comfort of
fully automatic operation or the pleasure of
manual gear changing.
There are two driving modes:
-
a
utomated mode for automatic control of
the gears by the gearbox,
-

m
anual mode for sequential gear changing
by the driver.
In automated mode, it remains possible to
change gear manually by using the steering
mounted control paddles when required, when

Operating fault
When immobilising the vehicle, with
the engine running, you must place the
gear lever in neutral N.
Before carrying out any work in the
engine compartment, check that the
gear lever is in neutral N and that the
parking brake is applied. With the ignition on, the flashing
of this warning lamp and the
flashing of AUTO
, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in
the instrument panel screen, indicates a
malfunction of the gearbox.
Have it checked by PEUGEOT or a qualified
workshop.
You must press the brake pedal firmly
when starting the engine.
Whatever the circumstances, you must
manually apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
choose to:
-
m
ove to position N to engage neutral,
-

l
eave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.

Four-speed automatic gearbox which offers a
choice between the comfort of fully automatic
operation, enhanced by sport and snow
programmes, or manual gear changing.
There are therefore four driving modes:
-
a
utomatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the gearbox,
-

sp
ort programme for a more dynamic style
of driving,
-

s
now programme to improve driving when
traction is poor,
-

Moving off
When the engine is running at idle, with
the brakes released, if position R , D
or M is selected, the vehicle moves
even without the accelerator being
pressed.
When the engine is running, never
leave children in the vehicle without
supervision.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake and select position P .
If position N is selected inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to
return to idle then select position D to
accelerate.
If the ambient temperature is
below

-23°C, the engine should be left
at idle for four minutes, to ensure the
correct operation and life of the engine
and gearbox. Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic
changing
of the four gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching the
gear lever, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide efficient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.

There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:
-
i
f you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
-

i
f you force the movement of the
gear lever from the P position to
another position when the battery
is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam...), put the gear lever
in the N position and apply the parking
brake.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in the multifunction screen, indicates
a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
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 or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
If the lever is not in position P
, when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is switched
off, a warning message appears in the
screen.
F

R

eturn the lever to position P ; the
message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking
pace.
Stopping the vehicle
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
Invalid value during manual
operationBefore switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
