Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be travelled with the fuel
remaining in the tank. Related to the average fuel consumption over the
last few miles (kilometres) travelled.
This value may vary following a change in the style of driving
or the relief, resulting in a signifi cant change in the current fuel
consumption.
If dashes are displayed continuously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are displayed.
After fi lling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.

DRIVING
* According to engine.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to
change up on vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.
OPERATION
The system intervenes only when driving economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's equipment, the
system may advise you to skip one or more gears. You can follow this
instruction without engaging the intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must not be considered
compulsory. In fact, the confi guration of the road, the amount of traffi c
and safety remain determining factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
In the case of driving which makes particular demands on the
performance of the engine (fi rm pressure on the accelerator pedal,
for example, when overtaking...), the system will not recommend
a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging fi rst gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear.
The information appears in the instrument panel in the form of an arrow
accompanied by the suggested gear.
Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if
appropriate.
Page 137 of 336
6/
DRIVING
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.
M
and the gears engaged manually appear in succession in
the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected
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 moving very slowly, the gearbox
selects gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.
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. 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, there is
an audible signal is heard accompanied by a message.
)
Return the lever to position P
; the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
OPERATING FAULT
When the ignition is on, the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen, 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 a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions
permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if a door is opened.
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 when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption during a long period stationary with
the engine running (traffi c jam, etc.), place the gear lever in
position N
and apply the parking brake.
