This warning lamp comes on,  
accompanied by an audible signal and the  
display of a message.  
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Do not drive faster than 62 mph (100 km/h),  
keeping to the speed limit.  
The gearbox switches to back-up mode: mode D  
is locked in third gear, the steering-mounted  
control paddles are inoperative, mode M is no  
longer available. You may feel a significant jolt  
on engaging reverse gear. This will not damage  
the gearbox.  
Drive selector (Electric)  
► Maintaining pressure on the brake pedal,  
push rearwards to select the automatic mode D,  
or forwards, while pressing the Unlock button to  
engage reverse R.  
Then, from D or R:  
► Release the brake pedal.  
► Accelerate gradually to automatically release  
the electric parking brake.  
The vehicle moves off immediately.  
The drive selector is a pulse selector with a  
regenerative braking function.  
The drive selector provides traction control  
based on the driving style, the road profile and  
the vehicle load.  
With regenerative braking activated, it also  
manages engine braking when the accelerator  
pedal is released.  
P.  
Park  
With an automatic gearbox, never try to  
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.  
For parking the vehicle: the front wheels  
are blocked.

Selector malfunction  
Minor malfunction  
For moving the vehicle with the ignition off  
and allowing it to free-wheel.  
For more information on Changing to  
free-wheeling, refer to the corresponding  
section.  
Whatever the state of the gearbox, when the  
ignition is switched off, mode P is engaged  
automatically and immediately.  
However, in mode N, mode P will be engaged  
after a delay of 5 seconds (allowing for the  
process of putting the vehicle into free-wheeling  
mode).  
This warning lamp comes on,  
accompanied by the display of a message  
and an audible signal.  
Drive cautiously and visit a PEUGEOT dealer or  
a qualified workshop.  
D/B. Automatic forward drive (D) or automatic  
forward drive with regenerative braking (B)  
In certain cases, the selector indicator lamps  
may no longer come on, but the gearbox state is  
still displayed on the instrument panel.  
Check that mode P has been engaged and  
that the electric parking brake was 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 in the  
instrument panel.

Driving  
B : Automatic forward drive with regenerative  
braking activated.  
For example, to change from P to R, either  
push forwards twice without passing the point of  
resistance or push just once, passing the point  
of resistance:  
– In the first case, the selector goes from P to N,  
then from N to R.  
Driving modes  
The number and type of driving modes available  
depend on the vehicle’s engine and equipment.  
Driving modes are selected using the following  
control:

Operation  
– In the second case, the selector goes directly  
from P to R.  
Regenerative braking  
The regenerative braking function emulates  
engine braking, slowing the vehicle with no  
need to depress the brake pedal. The vehicle  
slows more quickly when the driver releases the  
accelerator pedal.  
When the accelerator pedal is released,  
mechanical energy is recovered and used to  
partially recharge the battery.  
► While in mode D/B, pushing the pulse  
selector backwards activates/deactivates the  
function.  
The D on the instrument panel is replaced with  
a B.  
The state of the function is not saved when the  
ignition is switched off.  
Pressing the control displays the modes on the  
instrument panel.  
With an electric motor, you cannot select a mode  
if the READY lamp is off.  
When the message disappears, the selected  
mode is activated and remains indicated on the  
instrument panel (except NORMAL mode).  
Whenever the ignition is switched on, NORMAL  
mode is selected by default.

B. Unlock button  
To unlock the selector and come out of P or

Press and hold this button before pushing the  
selector.  
If the battery is almost fully charged, the  
braking effect when the accelerator pedal  
is released may be limited.

This mode reduces fuel consumption, but  
restricts the performance of the heating and  
air conditioning systems, without however  
deactivating them.

► Move the selector by pushing it forwards (N  
or R) or backwards (N or D/B) once or twice,  
passing the point of resistance if necessary.  
The push selector returns to its initial position  
when released.
