Peugeot 208: Operating fault

Peugeot 208 Owners Manual

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.
