Operating fault
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 3
rd 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.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-

i

f you press 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.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.), position
the selector on N and apply the parking
brake. If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
do not try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.Electronic gearbox
Electronic gearbox with 6 speeds, with
electronic management of gear changes. It
also offers a manual mode with sequential gear
changes via control paddles situated behind
the steering wheel.

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 stopped and the brake pedal is
pressed.
Reverse gear
To engage reverse gear, the vehicle must be
stationary with your foot on the brake pedal.

There is an audible signal upon engagement of
reverse.
At low speed, if reverse gear is requested,
the N indicator lamp flashes and the
gearbox goes into neutral automatically.
To engage reverse, with your foot on
the brake pedal, move the selector to
position


N, then to position R .
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, it is possible to:
-
m ove to position N to engage neutral,
or
-

l
eave the vehicle in gear; in this case, the
vehicle cannot be moved.
In both cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise 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 the vehicle 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 function puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,
queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically
- START mode - as soon as the driver wishes
to move off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities
of the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Driving on flooded roads
Before entering into a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.

headlamps, the lamps and their edges to avoid damaging their lacquer finish and seals.
-
N
