Moving off
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 without
supervision.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake and select position P .
If position N is selected inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to
return to idle then select position D to
accelerate.
Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic changing
of the four 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 according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator 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 efficient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.
If the ambient temperature is below
-23°C, the engine should be left at idle
for four minutes, to ensure the correct
operation and life of the engine and
gearbox.

position P or N to place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
Operating fault
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 PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible. 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
selector 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 selector
in the N position and apply the parking
brake.
If the selector 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.
