F With the selector in position D,
press button M for sequential
changing of the six gears.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on. The indicator lamp for the button goes off.
In manual mode it is not necessary to
release the accelerator pedal when
changing gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear
to another if the vehicle speed and engine
speed permit.
If the engine speed is too low or too
high, the selected gear flashes for a few
seconds, then the actual activated gear is
displayed.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear
M1


automatically.To save the brakes when descending
a steep incline, use engine braking to
reduce your speed (take your foot off the
accelerator pedal or change down).
Keeping the brake pedal pressed
continuously for long periods can overheat
the brakes, with the risk of damaging the
braking system or making it inoperative.
Only use the brakes when necessary, to
slow or stop the vehicle.
Depending on the road configuration
(example: mountain road), manual
operation is preferable.
This is because automatic operation may
not be best suited, not allowing the use of
engine braking.

Stopping the vehicle
A stiff point may be noticed when moving
to position P.
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, an audible signal sounds and a
message appears.
F

R
eturn the selector to position P ; the
audible signal stops and the message
disappears.
Before switching off the engine, select
position P then apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.),
position the selector to N and apply the
parking brake.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
On a steep slope with a loaded vehicle,
depress the brake pedal, select position
P
, apply the parking brake then release
the brake pedal.
In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a
substantial jolt when changing from P to R and
from N to R . This will not cause any damage to
the gearbox.
Do not exceed around 60
mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-

i
f you depress the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time (braking
or acceleration must be done only with
the right foot),
-
i
f you force the selector from position P
to another position when the battery is
flat.

Manual operation
F Operate the "+" or " -" steering mounted
controls.
Changing from one gear to another only
occurs if the vehicle speed and engine
speed conditions allow; other wise the
gearbox will operate temporarily in
automatic mode. It is not necessary to release the
accelerator when changing gear.
When braking or slowing down, the
gearbox changes down automatically
to allow the vehicle to accelerate in the
correct gear.
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will
not change up unless the driver acts on
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
depressed.
Temporary manual control of
gear changes
You can temporarily
take over control of gear
changes using the " +" and " -" steering mounted
controls. If the engine speed allows, the gear
change is carried out.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a bend in the road.
After a few moments with no action on the
control paddles, the gearbox returns to
automatic operation. F
A fter starting the engine, select position M
for sequential gear changes
AUTO disappears and the gears
engaged are displayed successively
in the instrument panel.

Reverse gear
To engage reverse gear, the vehicle must be
stationary with your foot on the brake pedal.At low speed, if reverse gear is requested,
indicator lamp N flashes and the gearbox
automatically shifts into neutral. To shift
into reverse, with your foot on the brake
pedal, shift the selector into N , then into R.
Stopping the vehicle
When immobilising the vehicle, with
the engine running, you must move the
selector to neutral N .
Before doing anything under the bonnet
ensure that the selector is in neutral N and
that the parking brake is applied.
Malfunction
With the ignition on, the flashing of A or
AUTO , accompanied by an audible signal and
a message, indicates a malfunction of the
gearbox.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
You must keep your foot on the brake
pedal while starting the engine.
In all parking situations, you must apply
the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The
engine restarts automatically – START mode –
as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
Going into engine
STOP mode
For your convenience during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
With a manual gearbox , when vehicle speed
is below 12 mph (20 km/h) or the vehicle is
stationary (depending on engine), the Stop &
Start warning lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you place the gear lever in
neutral and you release the clutch pedal.
With an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, the Stop & Start warning lamp
on the instrument panel comes on and the
engine goes into standby automatically when
you press the brake pedal or place the gear
selector in position N .
With an electronic gearbox , vehicle speed
below 5 mph (8 km/h), the Stop & Start warning
lamp on the instrument panel comes on and the
engine goes into standby automatically when
you press the brake pedal or place the gear
selector in position N .
Stop & Start time counter
or(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
