Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning light,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction display, 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 60 mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This warning light may also come on if a
door is opened.
If the battery is fl at and the le-
ver is in position P , it will not
be possible to change to an-
other position.
Above all, do not force the lever as
this could damage the gearbox.
Never press the brake and accelera-
tor pedals at the same time. Brake or
accelerate using the right foot only.
Pressing both pedals simultaneously
could damage the gearbox.

P , when the driver's door
is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is
switched off, an audible signal is
heard and a message appears.

 Return the lever to position P ; the
audible signal stops and the mes-
sage disappears.
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 au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selec-
tor between two positions).

(automatic) to position M (manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1 automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
In the event of under-revving or over-
revving, the gear selected fl ashes for a
few seconds, then the actual gear en-
gaged is displayed.
