"Au t o s equential" mode

In automated mode, you can resume control
temporarily at any time using the steeringmounted 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 in the instrument panel.
After a few moments, the gearbox resumes
automatic control of the gears.

On sharp acceleration, the gearbox willnot change up unless the driver acts onthe gear lever or the steering mounted paddles.
Never select neutral N

Only engage reverse gear Rwhen thevehicle is immobilised with the brakepedal pressed. This selective
gear change mode enables you
to over take, for example, while still remaining in automatic mode.)Operate the +or - steering mounted controlpaddle.
The gearbox engages the gear requested if theengine speed permits. AUTOis still displayed

After a few moments without any action on
the controls, the gearbox resumes automatic control of the gears.

The
gears engaged appear successively in the instrument panel screen.
The
gear change requests are only carried out
if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically to permit
acceleration in the correct gear.

Driving
Four-speed automatic gearbox which offers a choice between the comfor t of fully automatic operation, enhanced by spor t and snow
pro
grammes, or manual gear changing.
There are therefore four driving modes:-automatic
operation for electronic management of the gears by the gearbox,
-
sportprogramme for a more dynamic style
of driving,

- snowprogramme to improve driving when
traction is poor,

- se
quentialoperation for manual changing
of the gears by the driver.

Moving off


When the engine is running at idle, with the brakes released, if position R, Dor M
is selected, the vehicle moveseven 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 parkingbrake and select position P

Automatic operation
)
Select position Dfor automaticchanging

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
v
ehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching the gear lever, press the accelerator pedal downfully (kick down). The gearbox changes downautomatically or maintains the gear selecteduntil the maximum engine speed is reached.On braking, the gearbox changes downautomatically to provide efficient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, thegearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.

Sport and snow programmes


Sport programme "S"

Press button "S", after star ting the engine.
The
gearbox automatically favours a dynamic style of driving.

) At any time, press the button selectedagain to quit the programme engaged and
return to auto-adaptive mode.
These two special programmes supplement the
automatic operation in very specific conditions of use.

sign to change
down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speedpermit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel.

Invalid value duringmanual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).



Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you can engage position P
or Nto place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.


Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the lightingof 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 Pto Rand from N to R
. This will not cause any damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
I
f the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected 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 movingvery slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically. The spor t and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.

There is a risk of damage to thegearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time,

- if 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 Nposition and apply the parkingbrake.

If the lever is not in position P
, when the Pdriver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switchedoff, a warning message appears in the screen.)Return the lever to position P; the
message disappears.

Speed limiter


System which prevents the vehicle fromexceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal in the normalmanner no longer has any effect.

The speed limiter is switched onmanually: the programmed speed must be at least 20 mph(30 km/h).

The speed limiter is switched offby manual foperation of the control.

The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below the programmed speed.


The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance andresponsibility on the par t of the driver.

You do not have to switch the speed limiter
on in order to set the speed.
Programming

On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter willnot be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.
To a v o i d a ny risk of jamming of the pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,

- do not fit one mat on top of another.

)Set the speed value by pressing button 2or 3.You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3:- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.

Exceeding the programmed speed
)Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.

Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have
any effect unless you press the pedal firmlypast the ypoint of resistance.eThe speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed, which
is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the
