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
indicates that the parking brake is still on
or has not been properly released.
Releasing

press the release button then lower
the lever fully.
6-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX

As a safety precaution and to facili-
tate starting of the engine:


- always select neutral,

DRIVING
GEAR SHIFT 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 driv-
ing 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 recommended should not
be considered compulsory. In fact, the
confi guration of the road, the amount
of traffi c and safety remain determining
factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsi-
ble 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 dis-
play.
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.

cession on the instrument
panel screen.
The gear change requests are only car-

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,

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
fl ash and the gearbox will change
to neutral automatically. To engage
a gear again, return the lever to po-
sition A
or M
. On sharp acceleration, the gearbox

acts on the gear lever or the steer-
ing mounted controls.
Never select neutral N
while the
vehicle is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R
when
the vehicle is immobilised with the
brake pedal pressed. For optimum acceleration, for ex-
ample when overtaking another ve-
hicle, press the accelerator pedal
fi rmly past the point of resistance.

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 message
on the multifunction screen, this indicates a malfunction of the hill start assist system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

case, it will not be possible to move
the vehicle.
In both cases, it is essential that you ap-
ply the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle. This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
