There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the movement of the
selector from the P position to
another position when the battery is
discharged.
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, a warning
message appears in the screen.
F Return the selector to position P;
the message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking
pace.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam...), put the selector
in the N position and apply the parking
brake.
Manual operation
Invalid value during manual
operation
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
Operating fault
F Select position M for sequential changing
of the six gears.
F Move the selector towards the + sign to
change up a gear.
F Move the selector towards the - sign to
change down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in the
instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox engages first gear
automatically.
With the ignition on, illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-
up mode and is locked in 3rd 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.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
The sport and snow programmes are
not available when operating manually.
