Operating programmes
You have a choice of three operating pro-
grammes:
– Autoadaptive (normal).
– Sport.
– Snow.
One press on button A or B will select
Sport or Snow respectively. The selec-
tion is displayed on the instrument
panel. Pressing the button 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 continuously scans the
different programmes in the memory
and selects the one most suitable for
the driving conditions at any given
moment.
Sport programme
The Sport programme automatically
favours more dynamic driving.
Snow Programme
In position D, the Snow programme
provides smooth driving suited to slip-
pery 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 automatically, so as to
provide efficient engine braking.
– If you take your foot off the accele-
rator suddenly (when you are taken
by surprise, for example), the gear-
box will not change up, so as to
improve safety.
– When the engine is cold, the gear-
box automatically selects a special
programme that enables the engine
to reach its ideal temperature more
quickly in order to decrease pollu-
tion.
Kickdown
For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever, press the
accelerator pedal down as far as it will go.
The gearbox will change down automati-
cally or stay in the gear selected, up to
maximum engine speed.
Any disruption of the system
is signalled by the simulta-
neous flashing of the Sport
and Snow lights on the ins-
trument panel. In such a case, the
gearbox will operate 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 60 m.p.h. (100km/h).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without
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 stationa-
ry.
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 engi-
ne running, apply the handbrake and
select position P.
Do not change down to brake on slip-
pery roads.
Never select position N when the
vehicle is moving.
Never engage P or R if the vehicle is
not stationary.
Do not leave children inside the
vehicle unsupervised when the engine
is running.
