DRIVING
Stopping - Starting on a slope
Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope,
apply the handbrake instead.
When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the hand-
brake.
Switching to sequential mode
Once you have moved off, you can
switch to sequential mode by selecting
position +/- .
"D" disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession on the instrument
panel display.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits it.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
gently to engage the gear. Switching to automated mode
Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position
D .
"D" appears on the instrument panel
display.
The gearbox then operates in auto-
active mode, without any action on
the part of the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most
suited to the following parameters:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp vari-
ations in the pressure on the accelerator
pedal.
"Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can
resume control temporarily at any time
using the steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster changedown than that
offered in automated mode (arrival at a
roundabout, exit from a car park with a
steep gradient, overtaking...). Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can:
- move to position
N to leave the
gearbox in neutral.
- l e a v e a g e a r e n g a g e d , s u c h a s fi r s t or reverse.
In both cases, it is imperative that you
apply the handbrake to immobilise the
vehicle.
Operating anomaly
With the ignition on, if the message
"Slow down" or "Maintenance re-
quired" appears on the multifunction
display, this indicates a gearbox mal-
function.
When a message is displayed, carry
out the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe place,
- place the lever in position N and let
the engine run,
- open the bonnet to allow the engine to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or ap-
pears frequently, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer without delay.

"DCS" GEARBOX
The six-speed robotised gearbox of-
fers a choice between the comfort of
automatic regulation or the pleasure of
manual gear changing.
This gearbox enables you to access
three driving modes:
- a manual mode for changing of the
gears by the driver using the steer-
ing wheel controls or the gear lever,
- a "
Normal
" automatic mode for
economical control of the gears
(everyday use),
- a "
Sport
" automatic mode which
permits a more dynamic style of
driving, with improved acceleration
and optimised engine braking. Displays on the instrument
panel
When you move the lever in the gate
to select a position, the corresponding
indicator light or message is displayed
on the instrument panel.
P. Park.
R. Reverse.
N. Neutral.
D. Drive (Automatic mode).

the most suitable gear, avoid sharp vari-
ations in the pressure on the accelerator
pedal.
"Temporary" manual mode
In the automatic mode, you can resume
control temporarily at any time using
the steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a faster changedown than
that offered in automatic mode (arrival
at a roundabout, exit from a car park
with a steep gradient, overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automatic mode, press

brake to immobilise the vehicle.
In order to remove the key from the ig-
nition, the gear lever must be in posi-
tion P .
Stopping - Starting on a hill
To assist you when starting on a hill,
y o u r v e h i c l e i s fi t t e d w i t h a s y s t e m
w h i c h i m m o b i l i s e s i t b r i e fl y ( a p p r o x i -
mately 2 seconds), the time required to
move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal. This function is
only active when the vehicle has been
completely immobilised with your foot
on the brake pedal and on certain gra-
dients.
Do not get out of the vehicle during
the hill start assistance temporary
immobilisation phase.
To immobilise the vehicle on a hill for a
longer period, you must use the hand-
brake, not the accelerator.
When starting on a hill, accelerate gradu-
ally while releasing the handbrake.

DRIVING
FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
WITH ELECTRONIC CONTROL
4WD AUTO (position 1)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive and provides optimum traction re-
gardless of the level of grip.
This is the vehicle's normal and regular
operating mode, the distribution of the
torque between the front and rear axles
is controlled automatically.
The distribution favours the front wheels,
the transfer of torque to the rear wheels
is managed electronically by the control
unit in relation to the level of grip, so
guaranteeing optimum road holding.
Three transmission modes are avail-
able and can be selected manually by
the driver in accordance with his re-
quirements.
You can change transmission mode
when stationary or while driving at a
speed below 60 mph (100 km/h) .
The transmission mode can be selected
by turning the control A .
Display on the instrument panel
The transmission mode is displayed in
the form of an intermittent display on
the instrument panel display when the
transmission mode is selected.
Selecting the transmission
mode
The selection of this mode is
recommended when the level of
grip permits.
2WD (position 3)
The vehicle operates with front two
wheel drive.
This mode corresponds to use on a tar-
macked road on which the driver con-
siders that there is no risk of loss of grip
(dry road).
4WD LOCK (position 2)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive in this mode also.
It is recommended when grip is par-
t i c u l a r l y p o o r o r d i f fi c u l t ( s a n d , m u d ,
slopes, ...).
System which permits the selection of
a transmission mode in relation to the
driving conditions.
