The auto-adaptive programme

select position
D
in the gate: the
gearbox operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any action on your
part, taking into account the following
parameters:
- the style of driving,
- the profi le of the road,
- the vehicle load.
To obtain maximum acceleration
without touching the lever, press the
accelerator down fully (kick down).
The programme will change down
automatically or will stay in the gear
selected until the maximum engine
speed is reached.
When the brake is applied, the pro-
gramme will change down auto-
matically in order to provide effi cient
engine braking.
Sport and Snow programmes
These are two special programmes.
The programme selected is displayed
on the instrument panel screen.
It is only possible to change
from one gear to another if
the vehicle speed and engine
speed permit. If they do not,
the vehicle will operate temporarily in
automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox automatically
selects gear
M1 .
Programmes S (sport) and

(snow)
do not operate in manual gear selection
mode.
Any operating abnormality is
indicated by lighting of this
warning light, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the multi-function
display.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (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) or
keep within local speed limits.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Operating check
Operation with manual
selection of the gears


push the lever to the + sign to
change up a gear and push again

You can change from position D (driving
in automatic mode) to position M (driving
in manual mode) at any time.
Releasing the accelerator
sharply does not have any
immediate effect on the speed
of the vehicle.
Never select position N when
the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions
P or R
unless the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery surface.

auto-adaptive programme favours
dynamic driving.
Snow programme
This programme improves starting and
drive when traction is poor.

Press button


You can deactivate the Sport or Snow
programme at any time by pressing
the button selected.
If the battery is fl at and the
lever is in position P , it will
be impossible to change to
another position.
In particular, do not force the lever

damaged.
