The four speed automatic gearbox

offers a choice between the comfort

of integral automatic operation,

enhanced by a sport and a snow pro-

gramme, or manual gear changing.

Park: to immobilise the vehicle and

to start the engine, with the hand-

brake on or off.

Reverse: to reverse (select this

position with the vehicle stationary,

engine at idle).

Neutral: to start the engine and to

park, with the handbrake on.

If position N is inadvertently engaged

while driving, allow the engine to re-

turn to idle before engaging position D

to accelerate.

If you take your foot off the accel-

erator suddenly, the gearbox will not

change to a higher gear for reasons

of safety.

Automatic operation

Manual operation

Automatic changing of the four

gears:

F select position D in the gate.

The gearbox always selects the most

suitable gear according to the follow-

ing parameters:

Manual changing of the four gears:

F select position M in the gate,

F push the lever to the + sign to

change to a higher gear,

F pull the lever to the - sign to

You can change from position D

(driving in automatic mode) to posi-

tion M (driving in manual mode) at

any time.

Sport and snow programmes

In addition to the auto-adaptive

programme, there are two special

programmes.

The programme is displayed on the

instrument panel screen.

-

the road proile,

the vehicle load.

The gearbox is then operating in

auto-adaptive mode, without any ac-

tion on your part.

Sport programme

F Press button S once the engine

has been started.

The gearbox automatically favours

sporty driving and more dynamic

acceleration.

WARNING

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 sur-

face.

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 tempo-

rarily in automatic mode.

Snow programme

This programme improves starting

and drive when traction is poor.

When the vehicle is stationary or

moving very slowly, the gearbox

automatically selects gear M1.

F Press button T once the engine

has been started.

Notes

Programmes S (sport) and T (snow)

do not operate in manual mode.

The gearbox adapts to driving on

slippery roads.

For immediate maximum accelera-

tion without touching the gear lever,

press the accelerator pedal down as

far as it will go (kickdown). The gear-

box will automatically change down

or maintain the gear selected until

maximum engine speed is reached.

When the brake is applied, the gear-

box will automatically change down

in order to provide eficient engine

braking.

Note: you can return to the auto-

adaptive programme at any time.

F Press button S or T again to

switch off the programme you

are in.

76 - DRIVING

When the vehicle is be-

Storing a speed

A speed can be stored without acti-

vating the limiter.

Press buttons 2 and 3 briely to de-

crease or increase by 1 mph (1 km/h).

An extended press decreases or

increases by 5 mph (5 km/h).

A maintained press decreases or

increases the programmed speed in

steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).

SPEED LIMITER

Activating/deactivating the limiter

This speed limiter, of the new gener-

ation, has a display on the instrument

panel to indicate the programmed

speed.

It prevents exceeding of the vehicle

speed programmed by the driver.

When the programmed speed is

reached, pressing the accelerator

pedal no longer has any effect.

Instrument panel display

Pressing button 4 once activates the

limiter, pressing the button again de-

activates it.

When the limiter is active, the display

indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):

When the speed limiter function is

active, pressing this button displays

the distance recorders.

After a few seconds or when this but-

ton is pressed again, the display re-

turns to the speed limiter function.

The limiter operates with a pro-

grammed speed of at least 18 mph

approx. (30 km/h); it remains active

regardless of any action on the brake

and clutch pedals.

The operating actions must be

carried out:

Selecting the function

F Place the dial 1 in the LIMIT

position. The limiter is not yet

active. By default, the display

indicates:

-

when stationary, with the

engine running,

The indicator light on the in-

strument panel comes on at

the same time.

or

-

with the vehicle moving.

78 - DRIVING

Exceeding the programmed

speed

Pressing the accelerator in order to

exceed the programmed speed will

have no effect unless you press the

pedal irmly beyond the point of re-

sistance.

The limiter is deactivated temporarily

and the programmed speed, which is

still displayed, lashes (e.g. at 70 mph

(110 km/h)):

Switching the function off

F Place dial 1 in position 0

or switch off the ignition to

switch the system off. The last

programmed speed remains in

the memory.

Operating fault

In the event of a limiter malfunction,

the programmed speed is cleared

and the indication below appears:

Note: the speed also lashes when

the limiter cannot prevent the vehicle

from exceeding the programmed

speed (on a steep descent, in the

event of sharp acceleration).

To reactivate the limiter, release the

accelerator to slow down to a speed

below the programmed speed.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have

the system checked.

In the event of a steep descent

or sharp acceleration, the speed

limiter will not be able to prevent

the vehicle from exceeding the

programmed speed.

In any event, the speed limiter can-

not replace the need to observe

speed limits, nor can it replace the

need for vigilance and responsibility

on the part of the driver.

To prevent the mat from becoming

caught under the pedals:

-

ensure that the mat and its

ixings are positioned correctly

.

-

never it one mat on top of

another.

You are advised to keep your feet

near the pedals.

DRIVING 79

First activation/memorising a

reference speed

As soon as you reach the chosen

speed, press button 2 or 3. This

memorises the speed and the display

indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):

CRUISE CONTROL

Instrument panel display

The indicator light on the in-

strument panel comes on at

the same time.

This cruise control, of the new gener-

ation, has a display on the instrument

panel to indicate the memorised ref-

erence speed.

It enables the vehicle to maintain a

steady speed programmed by the

driver.

In order for it to be memorised or ac-

tivated, the vehicle speed must be

greater than 24 mph approx. (40 km/h)

with at least fourth gear engaged for

vehicles itted with a manual gearbox.

On vehicles itted with an automatic

gearbox, the lever must be in position D

at a speed greater than 24 mph approx.

(40 km/h), or in at least second gear in

sequential mode.

When the cruise control function is ac-

tivated, pressing this button enables

you to display the distance recorders.

After a few seconds or when this but-

ton is pressed again, the display re-

turns to the cruise control function.

Note: It is possible to accelerate and

drive momentarily at a speed greater

than the memorised speed. The value

memorised lashes. When the accel-

erator pedal is released, the vehicle

returns to the memorised speed.

Selecting the function

F Place switch 1 in the CRUISE

position. The cruise control is

not yet active and no speed has

been memorised. The display

indicates in succession:

Cancelling the cruise control

If you wish to cancel the cruise control:

F Press button 4 or the brake or

clutch pedal.

The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph

(110 km/h)):

The indicator light on the instrument

panel switches off.

80 - DRIVING

Reactivating the cruise control

To memorise a speed lower than the

previous one:

F press button 2;

A brief press decreases by 1 mph (1 km/h).

An extended press decreases by 5 mph

(5 km/h).

Operating fault

After cancellation of the cruise con-

trol, press button 4. Your vehicle will

return to the last memorised speed.

The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph

(110 km/h)):

In the event of a cruise control mal-

function, the memorised speed is

erased, the dashes lash for a few

seconds:

A maintained press decreases in

steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).

Cancelling the memorised

reference speed

F When the vehicle becomes

stationary, after switching off the

ignition, the system no longer

memorises a speed.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have

the system checked.

It is also possible to reactivate the

cruise control by pressing button 2 or

3. The memorised speed will then be

the speed at which the vehicle was

travelling when the cruise control

was reactivated.

When changing the memo-

rised reference speed by

means of a maintained press,

pay attention as the speed

can increase or decrease rapidly.

Do not use the cruise control on slip-

pery roads or in heavy trafic.

Changing the memorised

reference speed
