Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction
screen, indicates a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is 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), local speed restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
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 movement of the gear lever from the P position to another position
when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at a prolonged standstill with the engine running (traffic jam...), put the gear lever in the N position and apply the parking brake.
