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

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 gear selector 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

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 (gear selector
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
If the selector lever is not in position P ,
w hen 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 selector lever to
position


P; the audible signal stops
and the message disappears. With the ignition 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 62 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a Pe ugeOt dealer 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:
-

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 selector lever at N and apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.

cruise control (for a vehicle cruising speed).
You can memorise up to six speed settings for each of the two systems. By default, some speed settings are already memorised.F
