which offers a choice between the com-
fort of fully automatic operation, en-
hanced by sport and snow programmes,
or manual gear changing.
Therefore, four driving modes are of-
fered:
- automatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the
gearbox,
- sport programme for a more dy-
namic style of driving,
- snow programme to improve driv-
ing when traction is poor,
- manual operation for sequential
changing of the gears by the driver. Gear lever

DRIVING
Moving off

 Apply the handbrake.

 Select position P or N .

 Start the engine.
If this procedure is not followed, an au-
dible signal is heard, accompanied by a
message on the multifunction display.

 With the engine running, press the
brake pedal.

 Release the handbrake.

 Select position R , D or M ,

 Gradually release the brake pedal.
The vehicle moves off immediately.
If position N is engaged inadvert-
ently while driving, allow the engine
to return to idle then engage posi-
tion D to accelerate. The gearbox then operates in auto-
adaptive mode, without any intervention
on the part of the driver. It continuously
selects the most suitable gear accord-
ing to the style of driving, the profi le of
the road and the load in the vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the lever, press the accelera-
tor 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 effi cient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply,
the gearbox will not change to a higher
gear for safety reasons.
Automatic operation

 Select position D for automatic
changing of the four or six gears.

 Press button "S" , after starting the
engine.
The gearbox automatically favours a
dynamic style of driving.
Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R un-
less the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary.
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 accelera-
tor being pressed.
When the engine is running, never
leave children in the vehicle with-
out supervision.
When carrying out maintenance
with the engine running, apply the
handbrake and select position P . Sport and snow programmes
These two special programmes supple-
ment the automatic operation in very
specifi c conditions of use.

DRIVING
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 handbrake to
immobilise the vehicle. Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning light, ac-
companied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-
function display, indicates a gearbox
malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
emergency 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.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This warning light may also come on if a
door is opened.
If the battery is fl at and the lever is
in position P , it will not be possible
to change to another position.
Above all, do not force the lever as
this could damage the gearbox.
Manual operation

 Select position M for sequential
changing of the four or six gears.

 Push the lever towards the + sign to
change up a gear.

 Pull the lever towards the - sign to
change down a gear.

D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
In the event of under-revving
or over-revving, the gear se-
lected fl ashes 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 mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1 automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode. 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, an audible
signal is heard and a message ap-
pears.

 Return the lever to position P ;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
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 au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).
