DRIVING
Stopping - Starting on a slope
Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope,
apply the
parking brake
instead.
When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.
Switching to sequential mode
Once you have moved off, you can
switch to sequential mode by selecting
position +/- .
"D" disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession on the instrument
panel screen.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits it.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
gently to engage the gear. Switching to automated mode
Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position
D .
"D" appears on the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in auto-
active mode, without any action on the
part of the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most
suited to the conditions of:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp vari-
ations in the pressure on the accelerator
pedal.
Auto sequential mode
In the automated mode, you can take
over control temporarily at any time us-
ing the steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster changedown than that
offered in automated mode (arrival at a
roundabout, exit from a car park with a
steep gradient, overtaking...).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can:
- move to position N to leave the
gearbox in neutral.
- l e a v e a g e a r e n g a g e d , s u c h a s fi r s t or reverse.
In both cases, you must apply the park-
ing brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating anomaly
With the ignition on, if the message
"Slow down" or "Maintenance re-
quired" appears on the multifunction
screen, this indicates a gearbox mal-
function.
When a message is displayed, carry
out the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe place,
- place the lever in position N and let
the engine run,
- open the bonnet to allow the engine to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or ap-
pears frequently, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer without delay.
P r e s s t h e b r a k e p e d a l fi r m l y
while starting the engine.
Start the engine. "N" appears on the
instrument panel screen.
S e l e c t fi r s t g e a r ( p o s i t i o n D or +/- ) or
reverse (position R ).
Release the parking brake.
Release the brake pedal then accelerate.
"D" or "1" or "R" appear on the instru-
ment panel screen. The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automated mode, press
the back of the
"+/OFF" control for
approximately 2 seconds.
At low speeds, when approaching a
s t o p o r t r a f fi c l i g h t s f o r e x a m p l e , t h e
g e a r b o x c h a n g e s d o w n t o fi r s t g e a r

DRIVING
Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode dis-
p l a y fl a s h e s , t h e v e h i c l e s w i t c h e s a u t o -
matically to front "2WD" transmission
mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A . Do not subject the vehicle to ex-
cessive conditions while driving.
As the engine torque is applied
to all four wheels, the condition
of the tyres has a considerable
impact on the performance of
the vehicle.
Ensure that all four tyres are in
good condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in
sandy or muddy areas or in
other areas in which the wheels
could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the
transmission components under
pressure and could cause a se-
rious malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through
deep water.
Avoid driving over excessively
uneven terrain (risk of scraping
under the body or of grounding
on crossing a bridge).
Have your vehicle towed on a
fl a t b e d .
The vehicle must not be towed
with the front or rear wheels on
the ground even if it is in front
"2WD" (2 wheel drive) mode.
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is dis-
played on the instrument panel, let the
transmission cool down then wait for the
display to clear before setting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed
alternately and if "MAINTENANCE
REQUIRED" is displayed on the
instrument panel, the system has
failed and the safety system has been
activated.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without
delay.
