Four or six speed automatic gearbox
which offers a choice between the comfort
of fully automatic operation, enhanced by
sport and snow programmes, or manual
gear changing.
Two driving modes are provided:


- automatic
operation for electronic
management of the gears by the
gearbox, with a sport
programme
to give a more dynamic driving
style and a snow
programme for
improved driving in conditions of
poor grip.

- manual
operation for sequential
changing of the gears by the driver.

DRIVING

Moving off



)
Apply the parking brake.

)
With your foot in the brake pedal,
select position P
or N
.

)
Start the engine.
If this procedure is not followed, there
is an audible signal, accompanied by a
message in the screen.


)
With the engine running, press the
brake pedal
.

)
Release the parking brake.

)
Select position R
, D
or M.


)
Gradually release the brake pedal.
The vehicle moves off immediately.

If position N
is engaged inadvert-
ently while driving, allow the en-
gine to return to idle then engage
position D
to accelerate.

When the engine is running at idle,
with the brakes released, if position R
,
D
or M
is selected, the vehicle moves
even without the accelerator being
pressed.
When the engine is running, never
leave children in the vehicle with-
out supervision.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake and select position P
.
A message appears if you try to
move the gear lever from posi-
tion P
to another position without
pressing the brake pedal.



Automatic operation



)
Select position D
for automatic

changing of the four or six gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-
adaptive mode, without any intervention
on the part of the driver. It continuously
selects the most suitable gear accord-
ing to the style of driving, the profi le of
the road and the load in the vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the lever, press the accelera-
tor pedal down fully (kick down). The
gearbox changes down automatically
or maintains the gear selected until the
maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effi cient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply,
the gearbox will not change to a higher
gear for safety reasons. Never select position N
while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P
or R
unless
the vehicle is completely stationary.

Sport and snow programmes
These two special programmes supple-
ment the automatic operation in very
specifi c conditions of use.

DRIVING

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 apply
the parking brake.



Return to standard automatic
operation


)
At any time, press the button
selected again to quit the programme
engaged and return to auto-adaptive
mode.



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.
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.

D
disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too
high, the gear selected fl ashes for a few
seconds, then the actual gear engaged
is displayed.
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.

Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).



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.

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 in the screen.


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




Operating fault


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.
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp, ac-
companied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
indicates a gearbox fault.
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
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.

DRIVING
STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily on standby - STOP mode -
during stops in the traffi c (red lights, traf-
fi c jams, or other...). The engine restarts
automatically - START mode - as soon as
you want to move off. The restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.

Operation


Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby:


- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,

- with the 6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox
, at a speed below
5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
brake pedal or put the gear lever
into position N
. If your vehicle is fi tted with
the system, a time counter
calculates the sum of the
periods in STOP mode dur-
ing a journey. It rests itself to
zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.
With the automatic gearbox system, for your comfort during parking ma-
noeuvres, STOP mode is not avail-
able for a few seconds after coming
out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start
using the key,

- the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,

- demisting is on,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, braking
assistance, ambient temperature...)
where the engine is needed to assure
control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning
lamp fl ashes for a few seconds,
then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

161
DRIVING

Going into engine START mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp goes
off and the engine starts:


- with a manual gearbox
, when you
fully depress the clutch pedal,

- with the 6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox
:


●
gear lever in position A
or M
, when
you release the brake pedal,

●
or gear lever in position N
and the
brake pedal released, when you
move the gear lever to position A

or M
,

●
or when you engage reverse gear.

Special cases: START invoked
automatically
For your safety and comfort, START is
invoked automatically when:


- you open the driver's door,

- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,

- the speed of the vehicle exceeds
15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual
gearbox or 7 mph (11 km/h) with the
6-speed electronic gearbox system,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, braking
assistance, ambient temperature...)
where the engine is needed to assure
control of a system.
In this case the "ECO"
warning
lamp fl ashes for few seconds,
then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.




Deactivation

If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately. At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch
to deactivate the system.
This is confi rmed by the switch warn-
ing lamp coming on accompanied by a
message in the screen.

Reactivation

Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.

The system is active again; this is confi rmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and a
message in the instrument panel.
The system is reactivated auto-
matically at every new start using
the key. With a manual gearbox in STOP
mode, if a gear is engaged without
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a
warning lamp comes on or a mes-
sage is displayed asking you to de-
press the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on

manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-
gagement of:


- fourth gear on the manual gearbox,

- second gear in sequential mode on
the electronic gear control gearbox
or automatic gearbox,

- position A
on the electronic gear
control gearbox or D
on the
automatic gearbox. The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk A
.

The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
observe speed limits, nor can it re-
place the need for vigilance and re-
sponsibility on the part of the driver. The cruise control is switched off
man-
ually or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP sys-
tem for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
