Sport and Snow programmes
In addition to the autoadaptive
programme, two special
programmes are available. The
indicator light corresponding to the
programme selected lights up on the
instrument panel.
Sport programme
☞ Once the vehicle has been started
and position D selected, press the
S button.
The gearbox automatically favours
dynamic driving.
Snow programme
This programme makes starting
easier and offers smooth driving in
conditions when traction is poor.
☞ Once the vehicle has been started
and position D selected, press the
button.
The gearbox adapts to driving on
slippery roads.
Note: You can return to the
autoadaptive programme at any
time.
☞ Press the S or button again to
cancel the current programme.
Operating anomaly
Any disruption of the system is
indicated by the alternate flashing of
the sport and snow lights on the
instrument panel.
In such a case, the gearbox will
operate in downgrade mode (locked
in 3rd gear). You may feel a
substantial knock when reverse is
selected from position P or N (this
does not damage the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 m.p.h. (100 km/h),
if regulations permit this.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without
delay.
