When stationary or while driving, no
objects should be placed around the
transparent blade (or on its cover) to
avoid inter fering with the movement
of the blade and preventing its correct
operation.
In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine,
...)
the head-up display may not be legible
or may suffer temporary interference.
Certain glasses (sunglasses,
spectacles or polarised lenses) may
hamper reading of the information.
To clean the transparent blade, which
is made of organic glass, use a clean,
soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth
or microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or
abrasive cloth or detergent or solvent
products as these could scratch the
blade or damage the anti-reflection
coating.

Manual mode
AUTO disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in
the instrument panel screen.
The gear change requests are only carried out
if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox

At very low speed, if reverse gear
is requested, this will only be taken
into account when the vehicle is
immobilised. The Foot on brake
warning lamp may flash in the
instrument panel to prompt you to brake.
At high speed, if reverse gear is
requested, the N indicator lamp will flash
and the gearbox will change to neutral
automatically. To engage a gear again,
return the lever to position A or M.
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will
not change up unless the driver acts on
the gear lever or the steering mounted
paddles.
Never select neutral N while the vehicle
is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when the
vehicle is immobilised with the brake
pedal pressed.
If position R

action on the accelerator. Never leave
children unsupervised in the vehicle
when the engine is running. When
carrying out maintenance on the vehicle
with the engine running, apply the
parking brake and select position N .

Stopping the vehicleOperating fault
With the ignition on, if this warning
lamp comes on and AUTO flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen, this
indicates a fault with the gearbox.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Before switching off the engine, you can
choose to:
-
m
ove to position N to engage neutral,
-
l
eave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases, it is essential that you apply the
parking brake to immobilise the vehicle, unless
it is programmed in automatic mode.
When immobilising the vehicle, with the
engine running, it is essential to place
the gear lever in neutral N .
Before carrying out any work in the
engine compartment, check that the
gear lever is in neutral N and that the
parking brake is applied. It is essential to press the brake pedal
when starting the engine.
When parking, is it essential to apply
the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle, whatever the circumstances.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, drive at walking speed.

Moving off
F 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 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). 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.
Automatic operation
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 engaged inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to
return to idle then engage position D to
accelerate.
Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
