The auto-adaptive program
F 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 prole of the road,
- the vehicle load.
To obtain maximum acceleration
without touching the lever, press the
accelerator down fully (kick down).
The program will change down automatically or will stay in the gear
selected until the maximum engine
speed is reached.
When the brake is applied, the program will change down automatically
in order to provide efcient engine
braking.
Note:
Releasing the accelerator sharply
does not have any immediate effect
on the speed of the vehicle.
WARNING
Never select position N when the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change betwen positions to
optimise braking on a slippery surface.
Sport and Snow programs
These are two special programs.
The program selected is displayed
on the instrument panel screen.
Sport program
F Press button S once the vehicle
has been started in position D, the
auto-adaptive program favours
dynamic driving.
Snow program
This program improves starting and
drive when traction is poor.
F Press button T once the vehicle
has been started and position
D has been selected, the autoadaptive program adjusts the
performance of the vehicle to the
condition of the slippery road.
You can deactivate the Sport or
Snow program at any time by pressing the button selected.
Notes
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.
Programs S (sport) and T (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.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
If the battery is at and the lever in
is position P, it will be impossible to
change to another position.
In particular, do not force the lever
or there is a risk the gearbox may be
damaged.
