"2 TRONIC" GEARBOX
(SALOON)
Five-speed controlled manual gearbox
which offers a choice between the comfort
of automatic operation or the pleasure of
manual gear changing.
Three driving modes are offered:
- the automated mode for automatic
control of the gears by the gearbox,
- the sequential mode for manual
changing of the gears by the driver,
- the auto sequential mode for over-
taking, for example, remaining in
the automated mode while using the
functions of the sequential mode.
R. Reverse

 With your foot on the brake, move
the lever upwards to select this posi-
tion.

N. Neutral.

 With your foot on the brake, select
this position to start the engine.

box detects poor grip, this warning
light comes on. Moving off Sequential mode

 After starting the vehicle, select
position M to change to sequential
mode.
Automated mode

 Following use of the sequential
mode, select position A to return to
the automated mode.
When stopping on a slope, do not
use the accelerator to immobilise
the vehicle; apply the handbrake.
When moving off on a slope, accel-
erate gradually while releasing the
handbrake.

 Place your foot on the
brake when this warning
light fl ashes (e.g.: starting
the engine).
 Select position N .

 Press the brake pedal.

 Start the engine.

N appears on the instrument panel.

N fl ashes on the instrument panel
display if the gear lever is not in po-
sition N on starting.

 Select fi rst gear (position M or A ) or
reverse (position R )

 Release the handbrake.

 Take your foot off the brake pedal,
then accelerate.

AUTO and 1 or R appear on
the instrument panel.
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.
When driving at low speed, on ap-
proaching a stop sign or traffi c lights for
example, the gearbox changes down to
fi rst gear automatically.

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 ashes, accompanied by an au-
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
instrument panel.

AUTO,  and - appear on the

 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.

"PORSCHE TIPTRONIC
SYSTEM" AUTOMATIC
GEARBOX
Four-speed automatic gearbox which
offers a choice between the comfort of
fully automatic operation, enhanced by
sport and snow programmes, or manual
gear changing.
Therefore, four driving modes are of-
fered:
- automatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the
gearbox,
- sport programme for a more dy-
namic style of driving,
- snow programme to improve driving
when traction is poor,
- manual operation for sequential
changing of the gears by the driver. Gear lever

P. Park.
- Immobilisation of the vehicle, hand- brake on or off.
- Starting the engine.

R. Reverse.
- Reversing manoeuvres, vehicle sta- tionary, engine at idle.

N. Neutral.
- Immobilisation of the vehicle, hand- brake on.
- Starting the engine.

D. Automatic operation.

M. +/- Manual operation with sequential
changing of the four gears.

 Press forwards to change up through
the gears.
or

 Press rearwards to change down
through the gears. Displays on the instrument panel
When you move the lever in the gate
to select a position, the corresponding
indicator light is displayed on the instru-
ment panel.

Moving off

 Apply the handbrake.

 Select position P or N .

 Start the engine.
If this procedure is not followed, an au-
dible signal is heard, accompanied by a
message on the multifunction display.

 With the engine running, press the
brake pedal.

 Release the handbrake.

 Select position R , D or M ,

 Gradually release the brake pedal.
The vehicle moves off immediately.
If position N is engaged inadvert-
ently while driving, allow the engine
to return to idle then engage posi-
tion D to accelerate. The gearbox then operates in auto-
adaptive mode, without any intervention
on the part of the driver. It continuously
selects the most suitable gear accord-
ing to the style of driving, the profi le of
the road and the load in the vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the lever, press the accelera-
tor pedal down fully (kick down). The
gearbox changes down automatically
or maintains the gear selected until the
maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effi cient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply,
the gearbox will not change to a higher
gear for safety reasons.
Automatic operation

 Select position D for automatic
changing of the four gears.

 appears on the instrument
panel.

pery roads.
This programme improves starting and
drive when traction is poor.

panel.
Sport programme "S"

 Press button "S" , after starting the
engine.
The gearbox automatically favours a
dynamic style of driving.
Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is completely stationary.
When the engine is running at idle,
with the brakes released, if position

R , D or M is selected, the vehicle
moves even without the accelera-
tor being pressed.
When the engine is running, never
leave children in the vehicle with-
out supervision.
When carrying out maintenance
with the engine running, apply the
handbrake and select position P . Sport and snow programmes
These two special programmes supple-
ment the automatic operation in very
specifi c conditions of use.
Return to automatic operation

 At any time, press the button select-
ed again to quit the programme en-
gaged and return to auto-adaptive
mode.
