AUTOMATIC GEARBOX

The six-speed (Diesel engine)

"Porsche Tiptronic-system" automatic

gearbox offers a choice between:
-

the comfort of integral automatic

operation , enhanced by a snow

programme,

-

or the pleasure of manual gear

changing .

Move the lever in the gate to select

a position. Once the position

is selected, the corresponding

indicator light appears on the

instrument panel display.

-

With your foot

on the brake,

release the

handbrake,

-

select position R , D or M ,

-

gradually release the

pressure on the brake

pedal; the vehicle moves

off immediately.

The gearbox always selects the most

suitable gear according to the following

parameters:
-

the style of driving,

-

the road profi le,

-

the vehicle load.

The gearbox is then operating in auto-

adaptive mode, without any action on

your part.

For immediate maximum

acceleration without touching the

gear lever, press the accelerator

pedal down as far as it will go to the

end of its travel passing the point of

resistance (kickdown). The gearbox will

automatically change down or maintain

the gear selected until maximum

engine speed is reached.

With the engine running, to move off

from position P .

Automatic mode

On a descent, the gearbox will

automatically change down in order to

provide effi cient engine braking and

good re-acceleration.

If you take your foot off the accelerator

suddenly, the gearbox will not change

to a higher gear for reasons of safety.
When stationary with the gear lever in

position D (drive), a vibration limiting

device is activated by pressing the

brake pedal.

Good practice

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.
There is a risk of damage to the

gearbox:
-

if you press the accelerator and

brake pedals at the same time,

-

if you force the lever from

position P to another position in

the event of a battery failure.

When the engine is at idle, brakes

not applied, if position R , D or M is

selected the vehicle moves even

without the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children

unsupervised inside the vehicle,

with the engine running .

Operating abnormality

Any operating abnormality is indicated

by an audible signal, accompanied by

the message "Automatic gear fault"

on the display and fl ashing of the Snow

snowfl ake on the instrument panel.
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),

keeping within the limit of local speed

restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon

as possible.

You can return to the automatic

programme at any time.
