Peugeot 407 2004-2011 Owner's Manual Driving Gearboxes (Manual/Automatic)

8DRIVING94 PARKING BRAKE 6-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX To release Pull the lever up and press the button to release the parking brake. To apply When parking on a slope, turn the wheels towards the kerb and apply the parking brake. Reverse To change to reverse gear, lift the ring under the gear lever knob and push the gear lever to the left then to the front. Reverse gear can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary with the engine idling.
8DRIVING95 Gear selection gate Move the lever in the gate to select a position. The indicator lamp corresponding to the position selected appears on the instrument panel screen. P ark: to immobilise the vehicle and to start the engine, with the parking brake on. R everse: to reverse (select this posi-tion with the vehicle stationary, engine at idle). N eutral: to start the engine and to park, with the parking brake on. Note: if position N is inadvertently en-gaged while driving, allow the engine to return to idle before engaging posi-tion D then accelerate. D rive: to drive in automatic mode. M anual: to drive selecting the gears. S : sport programme. : snow programme. "PORSCHE TIPTRONIC SYSTEM" AUTOMATIC GEARBOX The four or six speed automatic gear-box offers, as required, the comfort of the auto-adaptive programme en-hanced by a selection suited to dy-namic driving conditions: sport, or to driving on a slippery road: snow. However, manual selection is still pos-sible using the gear lever. Moving Off With the engine running, move off from position P : to exit position P, you have to press the brake pedal, select position R , D or M , then gradually release the pressure on the brake pedal; the vehicle moves off immediately. To move off from position N : with your foot on the brake, release the parking brake, select position R , D or M , then gradually release the pressure on the brake pedal; the vehicle moves off immediately. Starting the engine with the parking brake on, select position P or N in the gate, turn the ignition key. When the engine is at idle, brakes not applied, if position R , D or M is selected, the ve-hicle moves even without the accelerator being pressed. Do not leave children unsupervised inside the vehicle, with position R, D or M selected, with the en-gine running, as the vehicle moves even without the accelerator being pressed. With the ignition off, if the le-ver is not in position P , an audible signal is heard when the driver's door is opened, or after approximately 45 seconds. Move the lever to position P . The audible signal ceases. When maintenance operations need to be carried out with the engine run-ning, apply the parking brake and se-lect the P ark position.
8DRIVING Auto-adaptive programme select position D in the gate: the gearbox operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any action on your part, taking into account the follow-ing parameters: - the style of driving, - the profi le of the road, - the vehicle load. To obtain maximum acceleration with-out touching the lever, press the ac-celerator down fully (kick down). The programme will change down auto-matically or will stay in the gear select-ed until the maximum engine speed is reached. When the brake is applied, the pro-gramme will change down automati-cally in order to provide effi cient engine braking. Sport and Snow programmes These are two special programmes. The programme selected is displayed on the instrument panel screen. 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 temporarily in automatic mode. When the vehicle is stationary or mo-ving very slowly, the gearbox automa-tically selects gear M1 . Programmes S (sport) and (snow) do not operate in manual gear selec-tion mode. Any operating abnormality is indicated by lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multi-function screen. In this situation the gearbox oper-ates 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) and keep within local speed limits. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Operating check Operation with manual selection of the gears select position M in the gate, push the lever to the + sign to change up a gear and push again to change up another gear, pull the lever to the - sign to change down a gear and pull again to change down another gear. You can change from position D (driv-ing in automatic mode) to position M(driving in manual mode) at any time. Releasing the accelerator sharply does not have any im-mediate effect on the speed of the vehicle. Never select position N when the vehicle is moving. Never select positions P or Runless the vehicle is stationary. Never change between positions to optimise braking on a slippery surface. Sport programme Press button S once the vehicle has been started in position D , the auto-adaptive programme favours dynamic driving. Snow programme This programme improves starting and drive when traction is poor. Press button once the vehicle has been started and position D has been selected, the auto-adaptive programme adjusts the performance of the vehicle to the condition of the slippery road. You can deactivate the Sport or Snow programme at any time by pressing the button selected. If the battery is fl at and the le-ver is in position P , it will be impossible to change to an-other position. In particular, do not force the lever or there is a risk the gearbox may be damaged.
