Invalid value during manual
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 N to place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
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. 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.
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.

Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal in the normal
manner no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20
mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation 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 on the part of the driver. The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk A

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-

f
ourth gear on a manual gearbox,
-

s
econd gear on a or automatic or electronic
gearbox, in sequential mode,
-
position A on an electronic gearbox or
position D on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off manually
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the ESP system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value. The controls of this system are grouped
