Peugeot 208 2020-2025 Driving Automatic gearbox (EAT6)

92Drivingelectric parking brake control. Braking continues for as long as the control is kept pulled, and ceases when the control is released.The ABS and DSC systems stabilise the vehicle during emergency braking.If emergency braking malfunctions, the message "Parking brake fault" will be displayed on the instrument panel.If the ABS and DSC systems malfunction, indicated by lighting one or both warning lamps on the instrument panel, the vehicle’s stability is no longer ensured.►In this case, ensure the vehicle's stability by successive and repeated "pull-release" actions on the electric parking brake control until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.5-speed manual gearboxEngaging reverse gear►Fully depress the clutch pedal.►Push the gear lever fully to the right, then backwards.Only engage reverse gear when the vehicle is stationary with the engine at idle.As a safety precaution and to facilitate starting the engine:–Always select neutral.–Depress the clutch pedal.6-speed manual gearboxEngaging 5th or 6th gear►Move the gear selector fully to the right to engage 5th or 6th gear.Failure to follow this instruction could cause permanent damage to the gearbox (inadvertent engagement of 3rd or 4th gear).Engaging reverse gear►Raise the ring under the knob and move the gear selector to the left, then forwards.Only engage reverse gear when the vehicle is stationary with the engine at idle.As a safety precaution and to facilitate engine starting:►Always select neutral.►Press the clutch pedal.Automatic gearbox (EAT6)6-speed automatic gearbox which offers a choice between the comfort of automatic operation or manual gear changing.Two driving modes are available:–Automatic operation for electronic management of the gears by the gearbox.–Manual operation for sequential changing of the gears by the driver.Gear selector moduleP.Park–Vehicle immobilised, parking brake applied or released.–Engine starting.R.Reverse–Reversing manoeuvres, vehicle stationary, engine at idle.N.Neutral–Vehicle immobilised, parking brake applied.–Engine starting.D.Automatic operationM. +/-Manual operation►To shift up/down through the gears, push the control backwards/forwards.
93Driving6–Manual operation for sequential changing of the gears by the driver.Gear selector moduleP.Park–Vehicle immobilised, parking brake applied or released.–Engine starting.R.Reverse–Reversing manoeuvres, vehicle stationary, engine at idle.N.Neutral–Vehicle immobilised, parking brake applied.–Engine starting.D.Automatic operationM. +/-Manual operation►To shift up/down through the gears, push the control backwards/forwards.Information displayed on the instrument panelWhen a position is selected in the grid with the gear selector, the corresponding indicator lamp lights up on the instrument panel.P.ParkR.ReverseN.NeutralD.Drive (automatic operation)1...6.Gear engaged during manual operation-.Instruction not accepted during manual operationStarting the vehicle►With your foot on the brake pedal, select position P or N.►Start the engine.If the conditions are not met, you will hear an audible signal, accompanied by the display of a message.►With the engine running, depress the brake pedal.►Release the parking brake, unless it is set to automatic mode.►Select position R, D or M.►Gradually release the brake pedal.The vehicle moves off immediately.If position N is selected inadvertently while driving, allow the engine to return to idle, then select position D to accelerate.When the engine is running at idle with the brakes released, if position R, D or Mis selected, the vehicle moves off even without the accelerator being pressed.Never leave children unattended in the vehicle when the engine is running.When carrying out maintenance with the engine running, apply the parking brake and select position P.Automatic operation►Select position D for automatic changing of the six gears.The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any intervention on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear according to the driving style, the road profile and the load in the vehicle.For maximum acceleration without touching the selector, press the accelerator fully down (kick-down). The gearbox changes down automatically or holds the gear selected until the maximum engine speed is reached.When braking, the gearbox changes down automatically to provide effective engine braking.If you release the accelerator sharply, the gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety reasons.Never select position N while the vehicle is moving.Never select positions P or R unless the vehicle is completely stationary.
94DrivingManual operationTo limit fuel consumption during an extended standstill with the engine running (for example, in a traffic jam), set the gear selector to N and apply the parking brake.►Selecting positionM enables sequential shifting between the six gears.►To shift up/down through the gears, push the control backwards/forwards.The gearbox only changes gear if the vehicle speed and engine speed conditions allow; otherwise, the rules for automatic operation are temporarily applied.D disappears, and the gears engaged appear in succession on the instrument panel.If the engine speed is too low or too high, the selected gear flashes for a few seconds, then the gear actually engaged is shown.It is possible to change from position D to position Mat any time.When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically.This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between two positions).Switching off the vehicleBefore switching off the engine, it is possible to engage position P or N to place the gearbox in neutral.In both cases, apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle, unless it is set to automatic mode.If the gear selector is not in position P, when the driver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, an audible signal sounds and a message appears.►Return the gear selector to P; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.MalfunctionIn the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp comes on and a message is displayed, when the ignition is switched on.In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You mayfeel a significant jolt (without risk to the gearbox) when changing fromP to R and from N to R.Do not exceed 62 mph (100km/h), local speed restrictions permitting.Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.There is a risk of damaging the gearbox:–If the accelerator and brake pedals are depressed simultaneously.–In the event of a battery failure, forcing the selector from position P to another position.Automatic gearbox (EAT8)Automatic 8-speed gearbox with a push selector. It also offers a manual mode with gear changes via control paddles locatedbehind the steering wheel.Gearbox selector positionsP.ParkFor parking the vehicle: the front wheels are blocked.R.Reverse gearN.NeutralFor moving the vehicle with the ignition off, or to allow it to free-wheel.For more information on Changing to free-wheeling, refer to the corresponding section.D.Driving in automatic modeThe gearbox manages gear changes according to the style of driving, the road profile and the vehicle load.M.Driving in manual modeThe driver changes gear using the steering-mounted controls.Push selectorA.ButtonPTo put the gearbox into Park mode.B.Unlock buttonTo unlock the gearbox and come out ofP or to change toR, with the foot on the brake pedal.Press and hold this button before pushing the selector.C.Button MTo change from modeD to permanent manual mode.D.Gearbox state indicator lamps (R, N, D)
