Automatic gearbox
Six speed automatic gearbox which offers a choice between the comfort of fully automatic operation, enhanced by sport and snow programmes, or manual gear changing. Four driving modes are offered: - automatic operation for electronic management of the gears by the gearbox, - sport programme for a more dynamic style of driving, - snow programme to improve driving when traction is poor, - manual operation for sequential changing of the gears by the driver.

Displays in the instrument panel Moving off
 With your foot on the brake, select position P or N .  Start the engine. If this procedure is not followed, an audible signal is heard, accompanied by a message in
the instrument panel screen.  With the engine running, press the brake pedal.  Release the parking brake, unless it is programmed to automatic mode.  Select position R , D or M ,  Gradually release the brake pedal. The vehicle moves off.
If position N is engaged inadvertently while driving, allow the engine to return to idle then engage position D to accelerate.
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 . P . P

Driving
Automatic operation
 Select position D for automatic changing of the six 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 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.
Never select position N while the vehicle is moving. Never select positions P or R unless the vehicle is completely stationary.
Sport and snow programmes
These two special programmes supplement the automatic operation in very specific conditions of use.
Sport "S"
 Press the "S" switch, after starting the engine. The gearbox automatically favours a dynamic style of driving.
S appears in the instrument panel.
Snow "  "
 Press the "  " switch, after starting the engine. The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery roads. This programme improves starting and drive when traction is poor.
 appears in the instrument panel.
Return to automatic operation
 At any time, press the button selected (S or "  ") again at any time to quit the programme engaged and return to auto-adaptive mode.
Creep function (moving
without using the
accelerator)
This function provides great flexibility in manoeuvring the vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic jams, …). With the engine at idle, parking brake released and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle moves as soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal (even without pressing the accelerator). For your safety, this function will be activated only if you press the brake pedal when changing from for ward drive to reverse. It is deactivated on opening the driver's door. Closing the door then pressing the brake or accelerator pedal, reactivates the function.
Never leave children inside the vehicle without supervision when the engine is running.
If you vehicle is equipped with the "Dynamic function", refer to the section covering this, which is part of sport mode.

Driving
 Select position M for sequential changing of the six gears.  Pull the lever towards the + sign to change up a gear.  Push the lever towards the - sign to change down a gear. It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the instrument panel.
If 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 moving very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically. The sport and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.
Manual operation
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, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode.
If the lever is not in position P , when the P , when the Pdriver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, there is an audible signal and a message appears.  Return the lever to position P ; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.
When the ignition is on, a message appears in the instrument panel screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating 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 R and from RN to R . R . RThis will not cause any damage to the gearbox. Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
You risk damaging the gearbox: - if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time, - if you force the lever from position Pto another position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the engine running (traffic jam...), position
the gear lever at N and apply the parking brake, unless it is programmed in automatic mode.

Dynamic function
In sport mode (with an automatic gearbox), this function conditions: - the visual ambience, with specific back-lighting for the instrument panel, - the acoustic ambience of the engine, - power assistance for the steering, - acceleration, - the automatic gearbox, - information to the driver in the instrument panel on dynamic settings.
This function is only available when Park Assist is not selected and snow mode in the automatic gearbox is not selected. If Park Assist is switched on, this automatically deactivates the function.
Activation
 Press the end of the wiper control stalk to display in the instrument panel the different information on dynamic settings.
The telemetry data (longitudinal and lateral acceleration, power produced, turbocharger pressure, ...) are given as an indication only.
 Press nd hold the button until the back-lighting in the instrument panel changes. The LED in the button stays on.
Display
 Press repeatedly to go from one screen to another.
If the LED flashes, activation is not possible (for example if Park Assist or snow mode is selected) and so the back-lighting returns to its normal mode. If the LED continues flashing for a long time, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
