Monitoring

There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:
-
i
f you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
-

i
f you force the movement of the
gear lever from the P position to
another position when the battery
is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam...), put the gear lever
in the N position and apply the parking
brake.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox 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 . This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a P
e

uge
O
T dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
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, a warning message appears in the
screen.

message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking
pace.
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.Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road sur face. It is recommended
that before you leave, you practise
fitting the snow chains on a level and
dry sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
