When braking or slowing down, the
gearbox changes down automatically to
allow vehicle to pull away in the correct
gear.

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P or N to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle, unless it is
programmed to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates
a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
back-up 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 lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
You risk damaging the gearbox:
Manual operation
Select position M for sequential
changing of the six gears.
Push the lever towards the + sign to
change up a gear.
Pull the lever towards the - sign to
change down a gear.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion in the instrument panel.
If the lever is not in posi-
tion P , when the driver's
door is opened or approxi-
mately 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
(selector between two posi-
tions).
It is possible to change from position D
(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.
If the engine speed is too low or too

seconds, then the actual gear engaged
is displayed.
- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the lever from posi- tion P to another position when
t h e b a t t e r y i s fl a t .
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
e n g i n e r u n n i n g ( t r a f fi c j a m . . . ) , p o s i -
tion the gear lever at N and apply
the parking brake, unless it is pro-
grammed in automatic mode.

The parking sensor system
cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
The parking sensors are
switched off :
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been station- ary for more than three seconds in
forward gear. Deactivation Operating fault
The system will be deacti-
vated automatically when a
trailer is being towed or when
a b i c y c l e c a r r i e r i s fi t t e d ( v e h i c l e fi t -
ted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
Reactivation
Press button A again, the warning
lamp switches off, the system is re-
activated.
Press button A , the warning lamp
comes on, the system is fully deacti-
vated. In bad weather or in winter, en-
sure that the sensors are not
covered with mud, ice or snow.
When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates
that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h), certain sources of noise
(motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic
drills, ...) may trigger the parking sen-
sor audible signals. If an operating fault occurs,
this warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/
or a message appears on
the multifunction screen, ac-
companied by an audible signal (short
beep), when reverse gear is engaged.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
