DRIVING

Sequential mode



)
When the vehicle has moved off,
select position M
to change to
sequential mode.

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-
el screen.

Automatic mode



)
Following use of the sequential
mode, select position A
to return to
the automatic mode.


"Auto sequential mode"

This mode enables you to overtake, for
example, remaining in automatic mode
while using the functions of the sequen-
tial mode.


)

paddle +
or -
.
The gearbox engages the gear request-
ed if the engine speed permits. AUTO
is
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
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
will not change up unless the driver
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.

DRIVING

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.

Operating fault

When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen, 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 a speed of 60 mph
(100 km/h), local speed restrictions per-
mitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the lever from
position P
to another position
when the battery is fl at.


Manual operation



)
Select position M
for sequential

changing of the four or 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 on the instrument panel.
In the event of under-revving
or over-revving, the gear se-
lected fl ashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed. If the lever is not in position 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 ap-
pears.


)
Return the lever to position P
;
the audible signal stops and the
message 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).

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. To limit fuel consumption when sta-
tionary for long periods with the en-
gine running (traffi c jam...), place
the gear lever in position N
and ap-
ply the parking brake.

Front parking sensors

In addition to the rear parking sensors,
the front parking sensors are triggered
when an obstacle is detected in front
and the speed of the vehicle is still
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is in front or behind.
The front parking sensors are interrupted
if the vehicle stops for more than three
seconds in forward gear, if no further ob-
stacles are detected or when the speed
of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).


Deactivation/Activation of the front
and rear parking sensors

Deactivation/Activation of the rear
parking sensors


The function will be deactivated au-
tomatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle car-
rier recommended by PEUGEOT).



Operating fault


In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long bleep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a
speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer-
tain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trig-
ger the audible signals of the park-
ing sensor system.

The function is deactivated by pressing
this button. The indicator lamp on the
button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates
the function. The indicator lamp on the
button switches off.
The function is deactivated
or activated via the multi-
function screen confi gura-
tion menu.
The status of the function
is stored when the ignition
is switched off.
For further details about the access to
the parking sensors menu, refer to the
vehicle confi guration section corre-
sponding to your multifunction screen.
If an operating fault occurs,
when reverse gear is engaged
this warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/or
a message appears on the screen, ac-
companied by an audible signal (short
bleep).
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

CHECKS

Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the Warranty and Maintenance and Re-
cord and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Battery

The battery does not require
any maintenance.
However, check that the ter-
minals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in sum-
mer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery
and following its reconnection.

Air filter and passenger compartment filter

ment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace them twice as often if neces-
sary
(refer to the "Engines" section).
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may have an adverse effect on the per-
formance of the air conditioning system
and generate undesirable odours.


Particle emission filter (Diesel)



It is imperative that the maintenance of
the particle emission fi lter is carried out
by a PEUGEOT dealer.


Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance and Record for
details of the replacement in-
terval for this component.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, in exceptional cir-
cumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on
acceleration. This does not affect
the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer without delay.
