YOUR 206 IN DETAIL

Operating programmes
You have a choice of three operating
programmes:
– Autoadaptive (normal)
– Sport
– Snow
One press on button A or B will
select Sport or Snow respectively.
The selection is displayed on the
instrument panel. Pressing the but-
ton a second time will return to the
autoadaptive (normal) programme.
Autoadaptive programme (normal)
Gear changes are carried out on the
basis of various parameters, such
as:
– driving style,
– road characteristics,
– vehicle load.
The gearbox selects the most suit-
able programme from those in the
memory for the current driving con-
ditions.
Sport programme
The Sport programme automatically
favours more dynamic driving.
Snow Programme
In position D, the Snow programme
provides smooth driving suited to
slippery roads in order to improve
traction and stability. Starting is in
2nd gear and changing down is at
low engine speeds.
Special operating features
– During prolonged braking, the
gearbox changes down automati-
cally, so as to provide efficient
engine braking.
– If you take your foot off the accel-
erator suddenly (when you are
taken by surprise, for example),
the gearbox will not change up, so
as to improve safety.
– When the engine is cold, the gear-
box automatically selects a spe-
cial programme that enables the
engine to reach its ideal tempera-
ture more quickly in order to
decrease pollution.
Kickdown
For immediate maximum accelera-
tion without touching the gear lever,
press the accelerator pedal down as
far as it will go. The gearbox will
change down automatically or stay
in the gear selected, up to maximum
engine speed.
Any disruption of the sys-
tem is signalled by the
simultaneous flashing of
the Sport and Snow
lights on the instrument panel. In
such a case, the gearbox will oper-
ate in downgrade mode. You may
feel a substantial knock when
reverse is selected from P to R or
N to R (without any risk of damage
to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 100km/h.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer with-
out delay.
When the engine is idling with the
car in gear, the car will move even
without you accelerating.
Do not accelerate while a gear is
being selected, when the vehicle is
stationary.
When stationary, have your foot on
the brake pedal when selecting a
gear.
Do not accelerate in gear with the
brakes on.
If work needs to be done with the
engine running, apply the hand-
brake and select position P.
Do not change down to brake on
slippery roads.
Never select position N when the
vehicle is moving.
Never engage P or R unless the
vehicle is stationary.
Do not leave children inside the
vehicle unsupervised when the
engine is running.
