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 then moves off.
If position N is engaged inadver-
tently 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 posi-
tion 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 without
supervision.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the park-
ing brake and select position P . A message is displayed if you try
to move the gear lever from posi-
tion
P without pressing the brake
pedal.
Automatic operation
Select position D for automatic
changing of the 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.
D and the gears selected automatically
appear in succession in the instrument
panel.
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 un-
less the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary. Sport and snow programmes

DRIVING
Return to automatic operation
At any time, press the button select-ed again to quit the programme en-
gaged and return to auto-adaptive
mode.
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.
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.
M and the gears engaged
manually appear in succes-
sion in 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.
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 posi- tion P to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption during
a long period stationary with the
engine running (traffi c jam, etc.),
place the gear lever in position N
and apply the parking brake.
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, there is
an audible signal is heard accom-
panied by a message.
Return the lever to position P ;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears. When the ignition is on, the il-
lumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
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
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.

RDS, if activated, allows you to continue listening to the same station by automatic retuning to alternative frequencies. However, in certain conditions, coverage of an RDS station may not be assured throughout the entire country as radio stations do not cover 100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of the station during a journey.
