 When  stopping  on  a  slope,  do  not

AUTO   disappears and the gears 
engaged  appear  in  succession 
on the instrument panel. 
 The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits.

AUTO    and  the  gear  engaged 
appear on the instrument panel. 
 The  gearbox  then  operates  in  auto-
adaptive  mode,  without  any  action  on 
the part of the driver. It continuously se-
lects  the  most  suitable  gear  in  relation 
to the following parameters:  
   -   driving style, 
  -   road conditions, 
  -   vehicle load.  
 When reverse gear is engaged, an  
audible signal is triggered.

  "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  man- 
ual  selection  of  the  gears  in  situations 
which require a more rapid change-down 
than  in  the  automated  mode  (arrival  at 
a  roundabout,  leaving  a  car  park  with  a 
steep gradient, overtaking...).  
 The gearbox engages the required gear if  
the engine speed permits.  AUTO  remains 
displayed on the instrument panel.  
 After a few minutes, the gearbox resumes  
automatic control of the gears.     "Snow" automated mode  
 In the automated mode, if the vehicle de- 
tects  poor  grip,  the  gearbox  will  change 
automatically  to  the  "snow"  automated 
mode.  
  Stopping the vehicle  
 Before switching off the engine, you can  
change to position  
N  to be in neutral. 
 In  this  case,  it  is  imperative  that  you 
apply  the  handbrake  to  immobilise  the 
vehicle.   
  Reinitialisation  
 Following  disconnection  of  the  battery,  
the gearbox must be reinitialised.  
   
     Switch on the ignition.     Operating fault 
 With the ignition on, if this warn- 
ing  light  comes  on  and    AUTO  
 fl   a s h e s ,   a c c o m p a n i e d   b y   a n   a u -
dible  signal  and  a  message  on 
the  multifunction  display,  this  indicates 
a gearbox malfunction.   
 Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.  
 It is compulsory to press the brake  
pedal while starting the engine.  
 Never  select  neutral    N   while  the 
vehicle is moving. 
 Only engage reverse gear   R  when 
the  vehicle  is  immobilised,  with  
your foot on the brake pedal.  
 In all cases, it is imperative that you  
apply  the  handbrake  to  immobilise 
the vehicle.  
 If  you  press  the  accelerator  pedal 
beyond the point of resistance, the 
gearbox  selects  the  gear  below  to 
permit sharper acceleration.  
  
AUTO    and       appear  on  the

AUTO,        and   -  appear on the 
instrument panel.     
     Select position   N . 
  
     Press the brake pedal. 
  
     Wait approximately 30 seconds until 
 
N    or  a  gear  appears  on  the  instru-
ment panel. 
  
     Release the brake pedal.  
 The gearbox is operational again.
