Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position A.
"AUTO" and the gear engaged ap-
pear on the instrument panel display.
The gearbox then operates in auto-
active mode, without any action on
the part of the driver.
In the automated mode, you can re-
sume control temporarily at any time
using the steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits
manual selection of the gears in situa-
tions which require a faster change-
down than that offered in automated
mode (arrival at a roundabout, exit
from a car park with a steep gradient,
overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the gear
requested if the engine speed
permits it. "AUTO" is still displayed
on the instrument panel.

press the brake pedal,
wait approximately 30 seconds
until "N" or a gear appears on
the instrument panel display,
- release the brake pedal.
The gearbox is operational again.
It continuously selects the gear most
suited to the following parameters:
Operating anomaly
With the ignition on, the flashing of
"AUTO" and lighting of the service
warning light, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
multifunction display, indicate a gear-
box malfunction.

vehicle load.
After a few moments, the gearbox
again controls the gears automatically.
To optimise driving comfort and ob-
tain the most suitable gear, avoid
sharp variations in the pressure on
the accelerator pedal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without
delay.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can:
The brake pedal must be
pressed while starting the
engine.
-
move to position N to leave the
gearbox in neutral.
leave a gear engaged, such as
first or reverse.
If you press the accelera-
tor pedal beyond the point
of resistance, the gearbox
selects the gear below to
permit sharper acceleration.
-
Never select neutral N while
the vehicle is moving.
In both cases, it is imperative that you
apply the handbrake to immobilise
the vehicle.
Only engage reverse gear R with the
vehicle immobilised and the brake
pedal pressed.
In all cases, it is imperative that you
apply the handbrake in order to im-
mobilise the vehicle.
On a steep gradient, it is preferable
to switch to sequential mode.
Reinitialisation
Following disconnection of the battery,
the gearbox must be reinitialised:
