Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic changing
of the six gears.
th

e gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the lever, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down).
t
h
e 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 efficient 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 supplement the
automatic operation in very specific conditions of use.
Sport "S"
F Press the "S" switch, after starting the engine.th
e gearbox automatically favours a dynamic
style of driving.
S appears in the instrument panel.
Snow "T"
F Press the " T" switch, after starting the
engine.
th

e gearbox adapts to driving on slippery roads.
th

is programme improves starting and drive
when traction is poor.
T appears in the instrument panel.
Return to automatic operation
F At any time, press the button selected (S or " T") again at any time to quit the
programme engaged and return to auto-
adaptive mode.
Creep function (moving
without using the
accelerator)
this function provides great flexibility in
manoeuvring the vehicle at low speed (when
parking, in traffic jams, …).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle
moves


as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
For your safety, this function will be activated
only if you press the brake pedal when
changing from forward drive to reverse.
It is deactivated on opening the driver's door.
Closing the door then pressing the brake or
accelerator pedal, reactivates the function.
Never leave children inside the vehicle
without supervision when the engine is
running.
If you vehicle is equipped with the "Dynamic
function", refer to the section covering this,
which is part of sport mode.

F Select position M for sequential changing
of the six gears.
F

P
ull the lever towards the + sign to change
up a gear.
F

P
ush 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 automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes 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 moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.
th

e sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
Manual operation
Invalid value during manual
operation
this symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
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, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode.
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 and a
message appears.
F

R
eturn the lever to position P ;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears. When the ignition is on, a message
appears in the instrument panel
screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating fault
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode
and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R.
th

is will not cause any damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
You risk damaging the gearbox:
- i f you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
-

i
f you force the lever from position P
to another position when the
battery is flat.
to r

educe fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the gear lever at N and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.
