Automatic changing of the six gears
.
Moving off
- It is essential to press
the brake pedal to exit
position P
,
- select position R
or D
,
You can also move off from position N
.
- gradually release the
pressure on the brake
pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately.
- With your foot
on the brake,
release the
handbrake,
- select position R
, D
or M
,
- gradually release the
pressure on the brake
pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately.
The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the following
parameters:
- the style of driving,
- the road profi le,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-
adaptive mode, without any action on
your part. For immediate maximum
acceleration without touching the
gear lever, press the accelerator
pedal down as far as it will go to the
end of its travel passing the point of
resistance (kickdown). The gearbox will
automatically change down or maintain
the gear selected until maximum
engine speed is reached. With the engine running, to move off
from position P
.
Automatic mode
On a descent, the gearbox will
automatically change down in order to
provide effi cient engine braking and
good re-acceleration.
If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not change
to a higher gear for reasons of safety.
When stationary with the gear lever in
position D
(drive), a vibration limiting
device is activated by pressing the
brake pedal.
- Select position D
.

- press the lever to the +
sign to change to a higher
gear, from 1 to 6,
- conversely, press the lever
to the - sign to change to a
lower gear. You can change from position D
(automatic mode) to position M
(manual mode) at any time.
Stopping the vehicle, starting
the engine
Reverse gear
- Select position R
, with the
vehicle stationary and the
engine at idle.
If the battery is fl at and the lever is
in position P
, it will be impossible
to change to another position.
- Select position P
to
immobilise the vehicle
or to start the engine
,
with the handbrake on
or off.
- You can also select
position N
to park
or to
start the engine
, with the
handbrake on.
If position N
is engaged
inadvertently while driving, allow
the engine to return to idle before
engaging position D
to accelerate.
Manual mode
Manual changing of the gears by
pressing.
- Select lever position M
, In manual mode, it is only possible to
change from one gear to another if
the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit. If they do not, the vehicle will
operate temporarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox
automatically selects gear 1.
The 7 (snow) programme does not
operate in manual mode.

Good practice
Never select position N
when the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P
or R
unless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery surface.
There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the lever from
position P
to another position in
the event of a battery failure.
When the engine is at idle, brakes
not applied, if position R
, D
or M
is
selected the vehicle moves even
without the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle,
with the engine running
.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indicated
by an audible signal, accompanied by
the message "Automatic gear fault"
on the display and fl ashing of the Snow
snowfl ake on the instrument panel.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (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),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
You can return to the automatic
programme at any time.
- Press button 7 again to switch off
the programme you are in.
Snow programme
In addition to the automatic
programme, there is a special
Snow programme.
This improves starting
and drive when traction is
poor. The snowfl ake appears on the
instrument panel display.
- Press button 7 once the
vehicle has been started
and position D
selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving
on slippery roads.

STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT AND
REACH ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary,
release the steering wheel adjustment
mechanism by lowering the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height
and reach, then lock the adjustment
mechanism by pushing the lever fully
upwards.
MANUAL GEARBOX

even if slight, may wear the internal
components of the gearbox over time.
Reverse gear (6-speed)
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear.
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to
reduce the noise on engaging reverse
gear.

regardless of the load in the vehicle.
The driver is then guaranteed optimum
lighting without dazzling other road
users.
Cancelling:
- "fl ash" the headlamps,
-
get out of the vehicle and lock it.

SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"
To resume use of the limiter, simply
reduce the pressure on the accelerator
pedal gradually and return to a speed
below that programmed.
If the vehicle is fi tted with a speed
limiter and cruise control (according
to the country in which the vehicle is
sold and the engine), these functions
cannot be activated at the same time
.
The operating actions can be carried
out when stationary, with the engine
running, or with the vehicle moving.
Function selected,
displaying of the
"Speed Limiter"
symbol.
Function deactivated,
last programmed
speed - OFF
(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
Function activated
(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
Vehicle speed above
(example at 70 mph
(118 km/h)), the
programmed speed is
displayed fl ashing.
Operating fault
detected,
OFF - the
dashes fl ash. This speed limiter shows the function
selection status on the instrument
panel and displays the programmed
speed:
"This is the selected speed which the
driver does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the engine
running while stationary or with the
vehicle moving. The minimum speed
which can be programmed is 20 mph
(30 km/h).
The speed of the vehicle responds
to the pressure of the driver's foot as
far as the accelerator pedal point of
resistance which indicates that the
programmed speed has been reached.
However, pressing the pedal beyond
this point of resistance to the fl oor
permits exceeding of the programmed
speed.
