 Pull the parking brake lever fully up
to immobilise your vehicle. When the vehicle is being driven,
if this warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come on, accom-
panied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen, this

DRIVING
GEAR CHANGE 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 instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulsory.
In fact, the confi guration of the road, the
amount of traffi c and safety remain deter-
mining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains re-
sponsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
* According to engine. Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the form of an
arrow on the instrument panel display.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear. In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the perfor-
mance of the engine (fi rm pres-
sure 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.

AUTO disappears and the
gears engaged appear in suc-
cession on the instrument
panel screen.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accel-
erator during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the
gearbox changes down automatically to
permit reacceleration of the vehicle in
the correct gear.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-
active mode, without any action on the
part of the driver. It continuously selects
the most suitable gear in relation to the
following parameters:
- style of driving,
- profi le of the road.
AUTO and the gear engaged
appear on the instrument pan-

still displayed on the instrument panel.
After a few moments without any action
on the controls, the gearbox resumes
automatic control of the gears.
At very low speed, if reverse gear
is requested, this will only be taken
into account when the vehicle is
immobilised. The
Foot on brake
warning lamp may fl ash on the in-
strument panel to prompt you to
brake.
At high speed, if reverse gear is re-
quested, the N indicator lamp will

DRIVING Stopping the vehicle Operating fault With the ignition on, if this warn-
ing lamp comes on and AUTO
fl ashes, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message on
the multifunction screen, this indicates
a malfunction of the gearbox.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
It is essential to press the brake
pedal when starting the engine.
When parking, is it essential to ap-
ply the parking brake to immobilise
the vehicle, whatever the circum-
stances.
When immobilising the vehicle,
with the engine running, it is es-
sential to place the gear lever in
neutral
N .
Before carrying out any work in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear lever is in neutral N and
that the parking brake is applied. With the ignition on, if the warn-
ing lamp above and this warning
lamp come on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a mes-
