DRIVING
Stopping - Starting on a slope
Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope,
apply the
parking brake
instead.
When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
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 screen.
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
screen.
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 conditions of:
- 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 take
over control temporarily at any time us-
ing the steering mounted 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, you must apply the park-
ing brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating anomaly
With the ignition on, if the message
"Slow down" or "Maintenance re-
quired" appears on the multifunction
screen, 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.

ment panel screen. The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.

Flashing of the indicator
R in the instru-
ment panel screen, accompanied by an
audible signal, indicates a malfunction
on engaging the gear:
Press the brake pedal, position the gear
lever in position N and engage reverse
gear again.
With the ignition on, if this warning light
comes on, accompanied by vibration
in the pedals and the message "Main-
tenance required" on the instrument
panel display, this indicates a gearbox
malfunction.
If the message is displayed, carry out
the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe place,
- place the lever in position P or N ,
apply the handbrake 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
appears frequently, contact a dealer of
the Marque without delay.
Overheating of the engine may
result in unwanted declutching of
the gearbox.
