gear shift indicator
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears.
You can follow this instruction without going
through the intermediate gears.-
Yo

u are in third gear.example:
-
Yo
u press the accelerator pedal.-


t
he s
ystem may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
the i

nformation appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
On vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow
can be accompanied by the recommended
g e a r.
the s

ystem adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,
.

..) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
.

..).
the s

ystem never suggests:
-
en

gaging first gear,
-
engag

ing reverse gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
Operation
On certain Diesel versions with
manual gearbox, the system may
suggest changing into neutral (
N is
displayed in the instrument panel) so
that the engine can go into standby
(S
tOP m

ode with Stop & Start), in
certain driving conditions.
the g

ear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory.
thi

s is because the configuration of the road,
traffic density and safety remain important
factors in the choice of the best gear.
the g

ear shift indicator system does not
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
thi

s function cannot be deactivated.

parking, in traffic jams, …).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle
moves

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

the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration, without touching
the gear selector press the accelerator pedal
down fully (kick-down).
the g

earbox 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.

Stopping the vehicle
If the selector 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
Re

turn the selector lever to
position
P ; t

he 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
.
thi

s 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
eu

ge
Ot d
ealer or a
qualified workshop.
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. You risk damaging the gearbox:
-
if y

ou press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
-
if y

ou force the lever from position
P

to another position when the
battery is flat.
to re

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

functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
StOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- th e vehicle is on a steep slope (up or down),
-
the

driver's door is open,
-

compartment,
-

ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
