Peugeot Rifter 2020-2023 Owner's Manual Driving Automatic gearbox (Type 1)

127Driving66-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 lever 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,–depress the clutch pedal.Automatic gearbox (Type 1)8-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.In automatic mode, you can still change gear manually using the steering-mounted controls (e.g. when overtaking).Gear selectorTo turn the gear selector in complete safety, it is recommended that you keep your foot on the brake pedal.P.Park.R.Reverse.N.Neutral.D.Drive (automatic operation).M.Manual (manual operation with sequential changing of the gears).Position N can be used in traffic jams or in a car wash tunnel.Steering mounted controls►Pull the right-hand "+" or left-hand "-" control paddle towards you to change up or down.
128DrivingThe steering mounted controls do not allow neutral to be selected and reverse gear to be engaged or disengaged.Information displayed on the instrument panelWhen you move the selector or press buttonM, the corresponding gear and indicator lamp are shown on the instrument panel.The "-" symbol is displayed if a value is invalid.►If the message "Foot on the brake" is displayed on the instrument panel, press the brake pedal firmly.Starting the vehicle►With your foot on the brake, select position P.►Start the engine.If the conditions are not met, there is an audible signal, accompanied by a message on the instrument panel screen.►Release the parking brake, unless it is set to automatic mode (with electric parking brake).►Select position R, N or D.If you are setting off from a steep slope with a loaded vehicle, depress the brake pedal, select position D, release the parking brake, unless it is set to automatic mode (with electric parking brake), then release the brake pedal.►Gradually release the brake pedal.Or►Accelerate gradually in order to release the electric parking brake (if it is set to automatic mode).The vehicle moves off immediately.If P is displayed on the instrument panel but the selector is in another position, place the selector in position P to allow the engine to be started.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 even without the accelerator being pressed.Never leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised.As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle without taking your key or remote control with you, even for a short time.When carrying out maintenance with the engine running, apply the parking brake and select position P.With an automatic gearbox, never try to start the engine by pushing the vehicle.Automatic operation►Select position D for automaticchanging of the 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, fully depress the accelerator pedal (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.Temporary manual control of gear changesYou can temporarily assume control of gear changing using the "+" et "-” steering-mounted controls. The gear change request will be executed if the engine speed permits.
129Driving6This function allows you to anticipate certain situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or approaching a bend in the road. After a few seconds with no inputs via the control paddles, the gearbox reverts to automatic operation.Creeping (moving without using the accelerator)This function facilitates manoeuvring of the vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic jams, etc.).When the engine is at idle, with the parking brake released and gear position D, M or Rselected, the vehicle begins to creep forwardas soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal (even without pressing the accelerator).As a safety precaution, never leave the vehicle with the engine running and the doors closed.Manual operation►With the selector in position D, press button M to enable 6-speed sequentialgear changing.The indicator lamp for the button comes on.►Operate the "+" or "-" steering mounted controls. M appears and the engaged gears are shown in succession on the instrument panel.►You can revert to automatic operation at any time by pressing button M again.The indicator lamp for the button goes off.In manual mode, there is no need to release the accelerator pedal while changing gear.It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed permit.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.When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear M1.To preserve the brakes while descending a steep incline, use engine braking to reduce your speed (change down or select a lower gear).Keeping the brake pedal pressed continuously for long periods can overheat the brakes, with the risk of damaging the braking system or making it inoperative.Only use the brakes when necessary, to slow or stop the vehicle.Depending on the road configuration (e.g. mountainous road), manual operation may be preferable.Automatic operation may not always be suitable, and does not enable engine braking.Invalid value during manual operationThis symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between two positions).►Place the selector "correctly" at a position.Switching off the vehicleBefore switching off the engine, select position P then apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle, unless this is set to automatic mode (with electric parking brake).Check that modeP has been engaged and that the electric parking brake has been applied automatically; if not, apply it manually.The corresponding indicator lamps in the selector and the electric parking brake control lever must be on, as well as those on the instrument panel.A point of resistance may be noticed when moving to position P.If the selector is not in position P, when the driver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off,
130Drivingan audible signal sounds and a message appears.►Return the drive selector to position P; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.When positioned on a steep slope with a loaded vehicle, depress the brake pedal, select position P, apply the parking brake, unless it is set to automatic mode (with electric parking brake), then release the brake pedal.In all circumstances, ensure that the selector is in position P before leaving your vehicle.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 gearboxNever try to start the engine by pushing the vehicle.Automatic gearbox (Type 2)Automatic 8-speed gearbox with push selector. It also offers a manual mode with gear changes via control paddles locatedbehind the steering wheel.Push selectorP.Auto ParkPress this button to switch to Parking mode.For parking the vehicle: the front wheels are blocked.R.ReverseN.NeutralTo free-wheel and move the vehicle, with the ignition off.For more information on 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 mode (Petrol/Diesel)Press this button to switch to manual mode.The driver changes gear using the steering-mounted controls.►In mode N, with your foot on the brake pedal, push without passing the point of resistance:•Forwards, mode R is selected.•Backwards, mode D is selected.Release the selector fully after each push; it will then return to its initial position.Special casesTo avoid mode N (quick change from D to R and back again):►In mode R, push backwards past the point of resistance, mode D is selected.►In mode D, push forwards past the point of resistance,mode R is selected.
