When the vehicle is being driven,
illumination of this warning light
and of the STOP warning light,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction display,
indicates that the handbrake is still on or
has not been properly released.
When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels to immo-
bilise them against the pave-
ment, pull the handbrake and
engage a gear.
"2 TRONIC" GEARBOX
T h e fi v e - s p e e d c o n t r o l l e d m a n u a l
gearbox offers a choice between the
comfort of automatic regulation or the
pleasure of manual gear changing.
HANDBRAKE
Gear lever positions
N : neutral.
With your foot on the brake, select
this position to start.
R : reverse gear.
With the vehicle stationary, keep your
foot on the brake pedal and push the
gear lever upwards.
Selection of reverse gear is accom-
panied by an audible signal.
A : automated mode.
Move the lever downwards to select
this mode.
M +/-: sequential mode with manual
gear changing.
Move the lever downwards, then to
the left to select this mode, then:
- push forward to change up,
- push rearward to change down.
Applying
Pull the handbrake to immobilise
your vehicle.
It consists of the following controls:
- a gear lever 1 on the centre
console for selecting the driving
mode, reverse gear and neutral
or for changing gear in sequential
mode,
-
a "-" steering wheel control 2 for se-
quential downward gear changes,
- a "+" steering wheel control 3 for
sequential upward gear changes.
Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the
button to release the handbrake.
This gearbox enables you to access
two driving modes:
- an automated mode for automatic
control of the gears by the gear-
box and therefore without any
action on the part of the driver,
- a sequential mode for manual changing of the gears by the
driver using the steering wheel
controls or the gear lever.

Switching to automated mode Reinitialisation
Following disconnection of the battery,
the gearbox must be reinitialised: The brake pedal must be
pressed while starting the
engine.
Never select neutral
N while
the vehicle is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R with the
vehicle immobilised and the brake
pedal pressed.
In all cases, it is imperative that you
apply the handbrake in order to im-
mobilise the vehicle.
On a steep gradient, it is preferable
to switch to sequential mode.
"Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can re-
sume control temporarily at any time
using the steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits
manual selection of the gears in situa-
tions which require a faster change-
down than that offered in automated
m o d e ( a r r i v a l a t a r o u n d a b o u t , e x i t
from a car park with a steep gradient,
overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the gear
requested if the engine speed
permits it.
"AUTO" is still displayed
on the instrument panel.
After a few moments, the gearbox
again controls the gears automatically.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can:
- move to position N to leave the
gearbox in neutral.
- leave a gear engaged, such as fi r s t o r r e v e r s e .
In both cases, it is imperative that you
apply the handbrake to immobilise
the vehicle. Operating anomaly
W i t h t h e i g n i t i o n o n , t h e fl a s h i n g o f
"AUTO" and lighting of the service
warning light, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
multifunction display, indicate a gear-
box malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without
delay.
If you press the accelera-
tor pedal beyond the point
of resistance, the gearbox
selects the gear below to
permit sharper acceleration. - switch on the ignition,
"AUTO"
and "-" appear on the instrument
panel display,
- press the brake pedal,
- wait approximately 30 seconds until "N" or a gear appears on
the instrument panel display,
- release the brake pedal.
The gearbox is operational again.
Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position
A .
"AUTO" and the gear engaged ap-
pear 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 ob-
tain the most suitable gear, avoid
sharp variations in the pressure on
the accelerator pedal.
