Six-speed electronic gear control gearbox which offers a choice between the comfort of fully automatic operation or the pleasure of manual gear changing.

Three driving modes are offered:

- automatic mode for automatic control of the gears by the gearbox,
- sequential mode for manual changing of the gears by the driver,
- auto sequential mode to overtake, for example, remaining in automatic mode while using the functions of the sequential mode.

A Sport function is available in automatic or sequential mode for a more dynamic style of driving.

The parking brake is released automatically, otherwise release it manually.

AUTO and 1 or R appear in the instrument panel screen.

If position R , A or M is selected, even with the engine at idle, if the brakes are released the vehicle moves without any action on the accelerator. Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle when the engine is running. When carrying out maintenance on the vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake and select position N .

Sequential mode

When the vehicle has moved off, select position M to change to sequential mode.

AUTO disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the instrument panel screen.

The gear change requests are only carried out if the engine speed permits.

It is not necessary to release the accelerator during gear changes.

When braking or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically to allow vehicle to pull away in the correct gear.

At very low speed, if reverse gear is requested, this will only be taken into account when the vehicle is immobilised. The Foot on brake warning lamp may fl ash in the instrument panel to prompt you to brake.
At high speed, if reverse gear is requested, the N indicator lamp will fl ash and the gearbox will change to neutral automatically. To engage a gear again, return the lever to position A or M .

On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will not change up unless the driver acts on the gear lever or the steering mounted paddles.

Never select neutral N while the vehicle is moving.

Only engage reverse gear R when the vehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal pressed.

Automatic mode

Following use of the sequential mode, select position A to return to the automatic mode.

AUTO and the gear engaged appear in the instrument panel screen.

The gearbox is then operating in autoactive mode, without any action on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear in relation to the following parameters:

- style of driving,
- profi le of the road.

For optimum acceleration, for example when overtaking another vehicle, press the accelerator pedal firmly past the point of resistance.

"Auto sequential mode"

This mode enables you to overtake, for example, remaining in automatic mode while using the functions of the sequential mode.

Operate the + or - steering mounted paddle.

The gearbox engages the gear requested if the engine speed permits. AUTO is still displayed in the instrument panel.

After a few moments without any action on the controls, the gearbox resumes automatic control of the gears.

Sport setting

Following selection of the sequential mode or automatic mode, press button S to activate the Sport setting which offers you a more dynamic style of driving.

S appears next to the gear engaged in the instrument panel screen.

Press button S again to return to normal settings.

S is then cleared from the instrument panel screen.

The gearbox returns to normal mode automatically each time the ignition is switched off.

Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you can choose to:

- move to position N to engage neutral,
- leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will not be possible to move the vehicle.

In both cases, it is essential that you apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.

When immobilising the vehicle, with the engine running, it is essential to place the gear lever in neutral N .
Before carrying out any work in the engine compartment, check that the gear lever is in neutral N and that the parking brake is applied.

Operating fault

With the ignition on, if this warning lamp comes on and AUTO fl ashes, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen, this indicates a fault with the gearbox.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
