Automatic gearbox
Eight speed automatic gearbox which offers
a choice between the comfort of automatic
operation or manual gear changing.
There are two driving modes:
-

a
utomatic operation for electronic
management of the gears by the gearbox,
-

man
ual operation for sequential changing
of the gears by the driver.
In automatic mode, you can still change gear
manually using the steering mounted control
paddles, when overtaking, for example.
Gear selector
To safely operate the gear selector, it is
recommended that you keep your foot on
the brake.

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, select position
P then apply the parking brake to immobilise
the vehicle.A point of resistance 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.
On a
steep slope with a loaded vehicle,
press the brake pedal , select position P,
apply the parking brake then release the
brake pedal.
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 gear actually activated
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 (change down to
a

lower gear).
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 (e.g.
mountainous road), manual operation is
preferable.
This is because automatic operation may
not be best suited, not allowing the use of
engine braking.
Driving

135
In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.
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 62

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.
Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
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 indication without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear shift recommendations must not be
considered as compulsory. In fact, the road
layout, the traffic density and safety remain the
deciding factors when choosing the best gear.
The driver therefore remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow the indications
issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the
instrument panel, in the form of an
ascending or descending arrow and
the recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver's requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
- e ngaging first gear,
- enga ging reverse.
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.
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.
Special cases: STOP mode
not available
